LURING BURGLARY—HOUSEKEEPERS BEWARE OF
FALSE KEYS.—John Sapling, alias Corrigan, alias Cal-
laghan, a dirty morose looking fellow, about 29 years of age,
who described himself as a cabinetmaker, of the Amazon
coffeehouse, Worship-street, Finsbury, was brought before
Mr. Woolrych, charged with feloniously and burglariously
breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Mrs. Mary
Elizabeth Hollands, No. 2, Queen-street, Stepney, and
stealing therefrom a cedar box, 11 half sovereigns, 2 silver
watches, a gold Albert chain, a silver dollar, a purse, and
other property.
The prosecutor went out yesterday morning, and secured
her house, and fastened up the doors and windows in the
usual manner. The street door was locked with a common
key, which she took with her. She returned at 6 o'clock
in the evening, and on attempting to open the street door
found it bolted inside, She raised an immediate alarm,
spoke to her next door neighbour, and sent for a police
constable. While this was going on in Queen-street in
front of the house the burglars (for no doubt
there was more than one) were retreating at the back,
The wall at the end of the garden in the rear of Mrs. Hol-
land's dwelling divides a small plot of ground at the back
of the Presbyterian place of worship, called John Knox
Church, in Gunn-street. At the side of the church is a
school house, and there was a tea party there. Yesterday
evening, whiles Mrs. Nollenrl was wh.-ming her neighbours,
the prisoner climbed over the wall, and was heard
on to the ground close to the school-room. A lady asked
him his business, and he said he was waiting for a young
woman. The minister of the Scotch Church put some
questions to the prisoner, whose answers were anything
but satisfactory, and he was given into custody. Mrs.
Holland said the prosecutor could not have been in waiting
to join the tea party, '! for he was too filthy dirty" for that.
A policeman got over the wall from an adjoining garden
into her garden, entered the house in the rear, opened the
front door, and admitted her. Some of the rooms
were in confusion. A small cedar box, containing eleven
half sovereigns in a netted purse, were missing
from a drawer in the front parlour. A desk had also been
opened, and a silver dollar and some smaller coins stolen.
She also missed two watches and a gold Albert chain. She
had since found them behind a chest of drawers. They had
been hastily thrown there by the thieves.
Mr. Woolrych—How did the burglars enter the house ?
Mrs. Holland—l imagine they got in at the front door,
They opened it with a false key, no doubt. _ _

. . ..
Mr. W oolrych— That is how a great many burglaries
and robberies have been committal.

Police-constable Charles Meyrick, 29G K, said he had
made inquiries at the Amazon coffee-house. The prisoner
waslunknown there. _ _

Mr. Woolrych remanded the prisoner until Tuesday
next.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATIERSALL'S-THITRSDAT.

A very fair attendance for an "off" day was met with
some show of business. The three reigning favourites re-
tained their positions intact, the layers refusing to advance
half a point upon their last quoted odds. Carnival would
have met with support at a more liberal price, but at last
22 to 1 was taken to a little money about him, and at which
odds Automaton was backed. Tom Fool was also in request,
and a 1,000 to 40 booked, but an offer to go on met with a
reply in the negative. 60 to 1 was accepted about Woldga
and Taje, and 5,000 to 60 agat Mr. W. Day's nomination,
the colt by Tadmor—Glenochty.

THE GRATITUDE OF A NEW M.P.—The Wes
tern Daily Mercury says it " his much pleasure
in announcing that Mr. John Pender, the representative
of Totnes, has placed at the disposal of a committee the
magnificent sum of £l,OOO, to be applied as they may see
fit for the general welfare of the inhabitants of the borough.
The town is in want of a new British school, owing to the
dilapidated state of the present building, and we think the
hon...gentleman's feelings will be well consulted if a portion
of his gift is appropriated to the erection of such a useful
building. Apart from any sordid feeling, the inhabitants
of the town may well be gratified at finding they have a re-
presentative who so generously and so considerately shows
his pleasure at the honour which has been conferred upon
him by his recent election. The fact of this gift having
been made is not known to the people of Totnes. On
account of the present election it has not been promul-
gated, but we see no reason why it should any longer be
'kept a escrot,"
