CAREER OF A HOUSEBREAKER.—We understand
that an officer from Chester was present in the cir-
cuit Court of Justiciary held at Perth on Friday, armed
with a warrant for the apprehension of Thomas Morgan,
ono of the three men charged with being concerned in the
burglary at Wellfield, near Ladybank, on the morning of
the 18th August last, in the (went of the case against the
burglars breaking down. Morgan, it appears, is in request
for no less than four burglaries in the neighbourhood of
Chester ; and although on Friday no previous con-
victions were charged against him, on which ground
he escaped with a lighter punishment by five years
penal servitude than his companions, the fact that he
is - a notorious thief and housebreaker, and has been
so for the last 20 years, is now well known to the police,
although we believe the facts were not ascertained in time
to permit of their being used at the trial. Thos. Morgan,
which is only one of his many aliases, the name by which
he is best known being Newcastle Mick, began his criminal
career in Newcastle in 1844, when he was not more than
15 years old. In that year he was twice sentenced by the
Newcastle magistrates to short terms of imprisonment Of
petty thefts, and next year he was three times imprisoned.
In 1846 he was imprisoned for three months for one offence,
in 1847 ho was seven months in gaol on three terms, and in
1858 he was again convicted three times. In the following
year he was concerned in breaking into a warehouse, for
which he was sentenced to seven years' penal servitude.
He seems, however, to have got away on a ticket of leave,
as in 1854 we found him at his old practices, with his old
bad luck, and sentenced to four years' penal servitude for
larceny. From 1860 to the present time; his time, with A
rare few intervals, seems to have been spent in gaol. Dur-
ing 20 years of a career he had been at least 30 times con-
victed -he had been whipped, imprisoned, and sentenced
to penal servitude—the country's money had been lavished
upon him, but with no remedial effect. He seemed to have
been a daring cracksman, but always unlucky. The only
piece of good fortune that ever came between him and the
just reward of his crimes seems to have been that his cha-
racter did not become known to the Crown authorities in
Scotland before the indictment against him and his fellows
in the Wellfield burglary was served. Morgan is also a
noted gaol breaker, and has made his escape from several
English prisons. In the spring of the present year he Was
indicted to appear before the Chester assizes on a charge
of breaking into the Bishop of Chester's palace, but 110
managed to break the prison before the assize, and could
not be put upon his trial. His manner of prison-breaking,
which has been discovered by the confession of one of
English "pals," is extremely ingenious. He carries in thde
collar of his coat a watch spring properly tempered, an
converted into a fine saw, with which he saws asunder the
iron bars of his prison, and so makes for himself a meals
of escape. At present there are standing against Morg
in the police-books at Chester, four burglaries and tire
charges of prison-breaking.—Scotsman.
