a-OPERATE ESCAPE OF PRISONERS

FROM TARAILT AY TRAIN.

Yesterday morning Isaac Walton and Jas. Hill
Iliad° a most daring escape while being brought
11.0111 Maidstone gaol (to undergo a second examina-
tion on a charge of burglariously entering the pre-
Mises of Mr. Henry Hewettson, of 3, Upper Park-
Place, Blackheath-park, and stealing therefrom a
quantity of plate). Sergeant Grant, 10 R, in com-
pany with Preston, 378 R, were in charge of these
Prisoners, the burglars being in charge of the ser-
geant, and an old man looked after by Preston.
They started by the 7 40 train from Maidstone to
London, and on their arriving half-way between
Greenbithe and Dartford, the door of the carriage
Was suddenly opened, and Walton and Hills, who
were linked together, dropped out of the carriage
suddenly, notwithstanding the train was at full
...Peed, and were thrown down. Sergeant Grant
Instantly followed and was also thrown, his head
1114 shoulder coming in contact wih the ground.
ia bead was very much grazed, and his arm dislo-
iab'ecl) and while he lay there stunned by the blow,
Prisoners made their escape, followed by Pres-
s:/e• The old man prisoner remained in the train,
"11, d proceeded to the Greenwich Police-station,
e'.ving himself up, and stating the circum-
ances of the escape. On Sergeant Grant's arrival,
aFrns
appeared much shaken. His arm was bandaged
Es his breast. He believes the door of the car-
riage was opened while in a tunnel. Information
Was immediately forwarded to the police and rail-
Way Stations by man, horse, and telegraph, and
instant pursuit was given by the police in all direc-
tions.
The superintendent of the Dartford police (Mr.
0. Brandon), accompanied by a constable of that
force, scoured the country for several hours, and at
half-past four o'clock they arrived at the village of
Pawkliam, between Dartford and Maidstone, about
ten miles from the spot where the prisoners escaped.
'll entering a room at a public-house Brandon saw
two
men, answering the description of the prisoners,
rgaling themselves with steaks and brandy and
ater. One of the men, who turned out to be the
Prisoner Walton, on seeing the policeman, instantly
:rang out of the window and ran into an adjoining
rang
Ile was pursued by the constables, and
had
captured. His companion, the prisoner Hill,
',!%!LI received such severe injuries that he was un-
able to leave the room. It appears from the state-
ment. of the landlord that on entering the house
re Prisoners stated, in order to, account for their
bruises, that they had met with an accident by
;ailiailing from a vehicle, and Walton arranged to
ng
Hill whilst he proceeded to London to bring
down a horse and cart. Both prisoners were
lodged in the Greenwich Police-station last night,
and are under medical treatment.
