' • A most daring attempt was on Sunday made to
break open the shop of Mr.,Priestman, Jeweller and
Silversmith, in Princes-street, Soho. Mr. Priest=.
man, and the'whole of his family, left the.house tb
go a little way out of town. From two o'clock in
-the afternoon till eight in the evening a number of
then were observed by the neighbours lurking, about
the shop door, and endeavouring • to_ break it Open,'
but the door was so properly secured that all their
exertions were baffled. Information was at length
sent •to the Public Office, in Bow-street, when
Blzokman, Lavender, and Leigh went in pursuit of
the robbers. A little before nine o'clock they found
the shop surrounded by five notorious housebreakers.
The villains made desperate resistance to the Of-
fiCers taking them- into custody ; but they at length
succeeded in securing Edward Egerton,. John Cie:-
menu; and ,Thainas, frhiffield, three. well known'
ohara(ters. Yesterday they were brought to I,3ow-
street, and underwent an examination before JAMES
REED? Esq. The Officers produced a bottle of phos-
phorus l'tid matches, which they found upon Cie-
inence ; likewise, two iron crows, and a numbersof
pick-lock keys found near the prisoners. They were
tomtnitted for lutther examination.
