EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE.
The locality of Bradwell and Coggeshall, Essex, haf
for a very long period been infested with a daring gang
of burglars, to the great terror of the inhabitants. One
of the gang, named Wade, was at the last assizes con-
victed of burglary, when his confession, coupled wit',
other circumstances, led to the belief that Samuel Crow
a cab driver, at the Black Horse Inn, Co ggeshallovw
the ringleader of the desperadoes. It has lately beet
supposed that Crow was concealed on the premises of th,
Black Horse, kept by a person named French, and or.
Wednesday last Superintendent Cook entered the hone.
after having procured a sufficient force to surround tb,
place. The first person they nset was the landlord, t,
whom they told the object of their visM when he posi
tively asserted that Crow was not there, but made sere
ral contradictory statements as to what he knew of
Crow's 3vh.ereabouts. The house and premises wen
then thoroughly searched, and some of the police re-
mained In charge of the house. About half-past ter
o'clock at night they were induced to go into
room over the granary, which they had frequent])
visited during the previous part of the day. In the
ceiling of the room they perceived that a hole: which
had previously attracted their attention was ren
dered so much larger as to admit a man's body. One
of the constables turned on his light, and ascended Liu-
roof, where he had a distinct opportunity of viewing the
prisoner crouched in a corner, and immediately cried
out, " Here he is." Another policeman also had a good
view of the prisoner, and called upon him to surrender.
when he said, " Don't hit me with your staves, but gc
down, and I'll follow you like a man." The men went
down, supposing it was impossible for Crow to escape
from his hiding place, but the officers bad no sooner de-
scended than their notice was drawn to a loud crash,
which was subsequently found to have been occasioned
by the prisoner dashing through the tiled roof, severe])
lacerating one of his hands, and otherwise injuring his
person. The alarm was raised, and the pursuit com-
menced, but we regret to say that Crow escaped by
running along the roofs of several houses, and after
jumping into the garden of Mr. Hunwick, made his wa)
into Abbey Wood. His route has been since traced for
some distance, but without leading to a capture. French
and some others have since been apprehended. A
brother of Crow has also been taken on a charge of har-
bouring and concealing him, several articles of clothing.
&c., and a handkerchief covered with blood, which be-
longed to Crow, having been found upon him. Activf
means are being used for getting up the evidence against
the prisoners already in custody, and in devising mea-
sures for the capture of Crow.—Essex Paper.
