A CRACKSMAN CAUGHT.—On Wednesday
evening last a female, named ELIZABETM lir.AxE, residing
in Billington-street, Chorlton-row, observed a light in the
house of a neighbour, named GOODHEAD, and knowing
that the inmates were out at work, she got the key at a
house where they usually left it, unlocked the door, and
went up stairs. In the chamber ehe found a young man,
whom she seized, exclaiming You rogue, how durst you
attempt to rob poor persons in this way?" The thief im-
mediately dropped a bunch of skeleton keys, of various
sizes, calculated principally to fit the locks of outer doors.
Mrs. BLAIcE kept her hold of the collar of the thief till an
officer, named DANIEL HUGHES, took him into custody.
A box had been removed from its place, and a quantity of
clothing, &c. had been placed ready for carrying off, when
the prisoner was detected. The man (who called himself
JAMES HAUGHTON) was searched by liunius, who found
in his pocket another skeleton key, which would unlock
the door of the house, a phosporus bottle, and some
matches. He was brought up at the New Bailey on
Thursday last, when he was recognised as an old offender.
The facts of this case being deposed to, he was committed
for trial.—Manchester Guardian.

POTTS alias PAGE, who made his escape
from Bow-street, on Friday last, went, about five o'clock
the same evening, in the company of a porter from one of
the wharfs from Bankside, to the Rose and Ball, Bennett's-
Doetots' Commons, where he bad a bed. He was
dressed in a blue jacket and trowsers, and bad a bundle
with him containing a rough great-coat, such as is worn
by the police. He affected to be a stranger in London,
and a " smuggler." When he went to bed, he asked the
landlord (Mr. KINGSTON) to take care of his money
(seven sovereigns) ; but before he was up, the servant saw
him with a large purse containing a great quantity of gold.
As soon as Mr. KINGSTON was up, he asked for his money,
and requested him to get a person to show him the way to
the Elephant and Castle. On his way over Blackfriars%
bridge, he said he had returned from transportation, and
the officers were after him ; but he should soon be in
France ; they went together to London-street, ne ir the
Obelisk, where in a room, on the first floor, there were
four persons sleeping on the ground : one of whom, a
young man, got up, and went out with them. He then
asked what he had to pay, and the man demanded a shilling.
He gave him eighteenpence, saying be liked to be well
paid, and walked away with the young man towards the
Elephant and Castle.
