DESPERATE CONFLICT WITH TWO BURGLARS.—QA
Saturday morning, between the hours of one and two o'clock,
a most desperate attempt was made on the life of Mr.
Bateman, carrier, of King John's-court, Shoreditch, by two
burglars. Mr. Bateman went home, it appears, at that time,
and had entered through his outer gate, when he was pounced
on by the ruffians, one of whom felled him by a blow from
what is termed a life preserver, while the other snapped at
him a pistol which flashed is the pan. Mr. Bateman, who
is a powerful young man, struggled with the Vagabonds
. bravely, and compelled them to make a hasty retreat, after
they had endeavoured to throw him into a fish-pond.
Police-constables, who had been drawn to the spot by the
cries of Mr. Bateman for assistance, found him lying insen-
sible and bleeding from several severe wounds in the head.
They of course immediately rendered all necessary atten-
tion to him, and after his reason had been restored an
in-
vestigation was made, with him, by Sergeant Harvey, 14 G,
and it was disewered that nearly every portable article,
had been
consisting of plate, jewellery. and other valuables,
packed up in the kitchen, as if for speedy removal. The ex-
ertions of the active officer are directed to the whereabouts
of the thieves, but it is feared, frcm the suddenness of the
attack and the density of the foe- at the time, that the ruf-
fians will escape justice. Mr. eateman will have to remain
under medical care for some time.
JENNY LIND.--We are informed that there is every
probability of an arrangement being completed for a series of
concerts to take place in London during the next season, at
which Jenny Lind will he the star ; and we have it upon
good authority, that Mr. Frederick Wright has offered one I
thousands guineas for two concerts in Brighton, which, if
azcapted, will take place inthe riding school- of the Psviliph.
