BURGLARIOVSLY ENTERING A DWELLING-HOUSE.—
Three stout-built young fellows, named James Parker,
William French, and John Holland, were charged, before
Mr. Beadon, with stealing, from 11, Upper Marylebone-
street, three silk dresses, awl other property, belonging to
Mr. Daniel Hagan, house painter, &c.

The prosecutor said that about half-past eleven en Satur-
day night ho was sitting in his kitchen, when, hearing
footsteps overhead in the parlour, he went upstairs, and
seeing a light in the parlour he went out of the front door
cautiously, closing it after him, and just outside
saw the prisoner Holland, whom he at once
seized. On looking through the window from the street,
he saw the other prisoners in the act of removing a pair of
plated candlesticks front the sideboard, and placing them
with other property ready for removal. He called " Police 1."
.upon which some persons came up, and one of them ex-
claimed " Knife the -! " The two in the parlour
(French and Parker) then rushed out of tho room and got
over a wall at the rear of the house. The property prepared
for removal was of more than £6 value, and he had been
robbed five times before.

In answer to the magistrate the prosecutor said that, one
hour previously, he locked the door of the room, leaving
the window up about two inches, and afterwards found it
thrown open and a wire blind broken down.
Committed for trial.
