in their windows, and explain to them the method the
thieves have lately adopted in robbing shops of this de-
scription, viz., by boring with a large gimlet or centrehit,
under the bottom of the window, and drawing chains,
rings, &c., through the aperture by means of a hooked
piece of wire; the thieves noticing by day-time the place
in which such property is laid in the window."

ANOTHER DREADFUL MURDER.-It iS
our painful duty to have to record another dreadful and
deliberate murder on the pens, n of a poor man, named
THOMAS CoorEtt, a journeyman carter, 45 years of age,
residing at No. 37, Brownlow-street, Drury-lane, in the
employ of• Mr. Davis an extensive master carman, re-
siding at No. 1, Silver street, Bloomsbury. It appears,
about six weeks since the deceased and his young master,
who is 19 yeas of age, had a dispute, which remained
unsettled up to Thursday morning, the 2d inst., when the
deceased entered the stables of his master about five mi-
nutes after six. Young DAVIS also entered a few minutes
afterwards, and accosted the deceased (who was in the act
of stooping to tie his shoestrings) by saying, " You are
I ite this morning," and then deliberately drew from beneath
his coat a large horse pistol, loaded with powder and a
bullet, and, taking a direct aim at the deceased, he imme-
diately discharged its contents, which struck his right arm,
the bill at the same time pissing sideways down, and
entering his right thigh, where it lodged. On the report
of the pistol being heard, assistance immediately arrived,
and the sufferer was conveyed to the Nliddlesex hospital,
where every possible attention was paid him, but deadi
terminated his sufferings at 4 o'clock yesterday morning.
The deceased, we •regret to state, has left a widow and
large family.
