ENCOUNTER BETWEEN A DOG AND A BURGLAR.—
Several most daring burglaries have been recently
committed at Pemberton, Orrell, and Upholland, three out-
townships lying to the south-west of Wigan. On Saturday
morning week there is no doubt an attempt was made to
break into the Upholland parish church, and shortly after-
wards the provision shop of Mrs. Birch, in the same village,
was broken into, and some goods and provisions carried off.
On the following Monday the Wesleyan Chapel was entered,
the missionary box forced open, and the contents abstracted.
On Wednesday night the Orrell railway station was broken
into by means of the slide window of the ticket office; several
bags were ripped open, but an attempt to force the safe in
the office failed, although a sledge hammer brought from
the line had evidently been used. The same night
the premises of a shopkeeper, named Scrivener, at
Upholland, were entered by a window which had been
left unfastened, but the burglars were disturbed by a
boy who was passing, and who, seeing a light, raised an
alarm. The drawers had all been opened, and their con-
tents scattered about, but a sum of £2 12s. was left
behind by the thieves in their haste to escape. On
Sunday morning last an attempt was made to enter tho
house of a farmer and beerhouse keeper, named William
Liptrop, residing at Orroll, near the village:of Lamber-
head Green, but a dog kept by the family completely dis-
comfited the gang. Tho dog slept at the door of the bed-
room of the sons of the farmer, and about 3 o'clock on Sun-
day morning it awakened the young men by barking and
scratching at the door of a small pantry on the ground
floor. The sons descended and opened the door when the
dog rushed in and seized by the waistcoat a man who was
making his exit by the open window, and as the sone were
following, a pistol, evidently loaded with shot, was fired
oitherat the dog or at them, and they in consequence hastily
retired. The dog, however, stuck fast, and though
one or two burglars outside were pulling against the
animal, no doubt the man would have been secured
but the vest gave way, the dog lost his hold, and ere
he could again seize the thief the ruffian had escaped
through the window. The dog would have followed but
ho was held back by the inmates, who wore afraid lost the
burglars who had shown that they were possessed of fire-
arms, should destroy him. A couple of police constables,
who heard the report of the pistol, were on the spot in a
few moments, but the thieves had vanished in the fog and
darkness. Information was at once conveyed to the
police-office at Pemberton ; and, as it was believed that
the burglars had come from Wigan, an extra staff of
constables was placed on duty, so as if possible to inter-
