CAPTURE OF HOUSEBREAKERS.—BAUGHT IN TIME
George Grantham and William Bartraw, alias Hounslo'''
alias Johnson, &c., two tall, powerful-looking fellows, well
charged before Mr. Bingham with loitering in St. Martin's'
court for the purpose of committing a felony, and having ill
their possession housebreaking implements.
A jemmy found on the prisoner (a formidable loolcia
tool) was produced.
Gordon, 336 A, said that that morning about one o'cloci‘'
while on duty in Leicester-square, he saw the two prisoners
standing talking together, and knowing them as the co ne-
nions of thieves, he watched them and saw them go into
doorway close to the Alhambra Palace and stop there two or
three minutes. They then left and went into Lisle-street
and stopped there for a minute or two, and from thel:
they went into St. Martin's-court and went into ,
doorway of No. 17, and then left and went to the doorvill
of No. 3. They then came back to No. 17, and catokit'
sight of (him) Gordon Grantham pulled the bell. lie to
asked what they were doing at that time of the worn'
ing, and Bartram said that a friend ..of his lived thereci
Grantham starting off. Ife then seized Bartrare, °lt
said he should take him into custody, and calling out,
another constable came up and followed Grantin°:.
While he was holding Baitram he managed to throw Soil"-
thing away which was picked up by a female.
Langhan, 108 C, proved pursuing Grantham and picking
es
up a "jemmy" about a foot and a half long. He pursil
him as far as Covent-garden, where he•also threw awn,' t
key, which was picked up by 141 F. On searching hie' 40
the station he found on him a piece of candle and son?
lucifers. On his way to the station he resisted violeetl.l.9
Gordon said the prisoners were two of the most desperieta
characters known, and Bartram had been already oon/icc
at the Old Bailey for burglary.
The prisoners were remanded for a week.

The 100 gun boats lately ordered at the works rcf
the Mourillon, close to 'Marseilles, are especial-a
adapted for the navigation of inland waters, till
the Lake of Geneva is easily accessible by tile
Rhone for craft of such light draught of water.
