AUDACIOUS BURGLARY AND ROBBERY. - Richard
Johnstone, a youth of 19, and described as a labourer,
whose address was refused, was brought before Mr. Selfe,
charged with feloniously and burglariously breaking and
entering the dwelling-house of Mr. John Page, engraver
and printer, No. 3, Saville-place, Mile-end-road, and
stealing property and money to the amount of about £lO
therefrom.

Mr. Page fastened his house up and secured the doors
and windows in the usual manner before he went to bed at
11 o'clock last night. This morning at a quarter before
two, he was aroused from his sleep by a loud knocking, and
found the police in the house. He got up, and the first
thing he missed was a pair of trousers. They had been
removed from his bedside. On going down-stairs he dis-
covered that an entrance had been obtained by forcing back
the catch of the kitchen window, cutting away the wooden
frame and withdrawing the bolts. A good deal of property,
including three coats, three tunics, a scarf, three waistcoats,
two pairs of boots, a cruet stand, three petticoats, and 15s.
9d. in money were missing from several rooms. A great
portion of the property was recovered. It was found made
up into a bundle under the kitchen window. The money
was in Mr. Page's trousers pocket when he went to bed,
and he did not recover it again.
John Cock, 6, Windsor-terrace, Canal-road, was on his
way home at one o'clock this morning, and saw the prisoner
and a tall man coming towards him from the direction of
Mr. Page's house. He asked them what they did there,
and the man replied " All right, mate," Cock made an
attempt to stop him, on which the fellow raised a heavy
stick. Cock considered it prudent to let him pass, but
caught the prisoner as he was running past him, and de-
tained him until a policeman named Bagwell, 328 K, made
his appearance. Bagwell secured the prisoner, and upon
searching him found a petticoat stolen from a room in Mr.
Page's house, under the waistband of his trousers. Other
property was missing, which there is no doubt was in the
possession of the prisoner's accomplice.
Mr. Selfe—ls the accomplice known?
Bagwell replied in the affirmative, and said the prisoner
was a notorious thief, and had been in custody several times.
Mr. Selfe remanded the prisoner for a week.
