7 ti.vyros:-linitne..x.—Yesterday morning Thomas
Doyle was brought up in the custody of John
Hutt, the officer,- charged with attempting to
break into the house of Miss Elizabeth -Dyer, in
Gloucester-place, Camden. Town, between two
anti three o'clock in tire morning of Christmas-
day, with intent to steal. It appeared by the evi-'
deuce. of the servant-maid, that a man was oh-
served by her at the hour above-mentioned in the
area of the house, utterepting to break in ; wit-
ness gave the .alarm, and Miss Dyer armed her. ,
self with one of her brother's pistols, which were
loaded; and *diJelinrged the contents' at the man
as he nias'rnaking his ti treat from the area. AVil-;
nal, the watchman, was standing in his box,
which was no great way front the house, and hear-
ing the report Of the pistol he ran to the spot,
where he found the prisoner on his knees, and
from the circumstance of the pistol being fired,
he had no doubt that he was wounded.
After the alarm was first given, Miss Dyer sprung
a rattle and rung the alatin bell, which colleetO
many ot Ake neighbours; chtirge;Was given of the
prisoner, and he was taken to, tbe watch-11011w;
the morning was ,very.dark, tit. thatilirey had no
opportunity of observing him very tyrinntely, but
from his apparent weak state, and riot beimg well
able to' speak, the watchman orate no doubt it
was caused by the lass of btood, through the. ef-
fects Of the wound. When the Man was lodged
in the watch-house, he 'with recognized
,by the
Beadle, who stated that his name was Thomas
DOyle, that he lived 12 months as footman with
Mr. Couchmaker, of Brunswick-square, and three
years with Lady Ki .nz:A.on, but being old arid in-
firm, he owes incapable, of earning his bread ; was'
unable to Stand without help, anti frequently lay in
the streets. The mlm's appearance in every'respeet
eorroborated this statement ; bet the servant maid
was poSitive.she never lost sight of the man who
was iu the area wheWher mistress fired ; she saw
him fall, and the watchman take hint into custody.
From the state the prisoner was in, however, this
was impossible ; and it was supposed,, tiorti, in the
darkness, the i ~a 1 thief' must escape, at the time the
unfortunate pris,ner happened to be passing.
