AME-3.
DARING JUVENILM BURGLARS. —A boy, named
Michael Latteridge, only 14 years of age, and who has
beer, often in custody and twice summarily convicted,
was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with being
concerned with two other boys in breaking into the pre
mises of Mr. John Russell, of No. 35, Fore-street, Lime-
house, and stealing 167 lbs. of lead and a copper boiler
therefrom. It appeared from the evidence of a Thames
police-constable named Hill that he was passing the back
of Mr. Russell's premises in a Thames police galley on
the river, and Fare the prisoner and two other boys re-
moving something heavy from the building towards the
shore. The officer in the galley rowed towards the
shore, and the boys made a ha, ty retreat through
the mud towards the river. Two of them being
closely pressed by the river constables, jumped
into the water and swam away. Before the
officers could reach their boat the two urchins made for
the shore, got upon the plying place at Duke's shore,
and made their escapr,. The prisoner, who was not so
nimble as his confederates, was secured. About a yard
and a-ball from Mr. Russell's waterside premises, which
were unoccupied, the officer found 167d05. of old lead
and a copper boiler. The young burglars had done con-
' siderable mischief on the premises, and had stripped the
lead, identified by Mr. Russel, off the roof and from a
pump in the yard. The copper boiler had been removed
from its place in the kitchen. A brass key was found
upon the prisoner, and Mr. Ras:Jell said it was taken
from the iron bailer in the kitchen. The prisoner, a
very impudent boy, denied that he had hen on the pro-
secutor's premises, dee ared the brass key to be his own
property, and said when he was convicted before be was
quits inuocent.
Mr. Yardley—Very well. You are committed for
taial.
