A FROLIC.—The keeper of the Liverpool Bride
well and the deputy constable of the same town, are now wait-
ing in London as witnesses in a cause which is coming on in
the King's Bench. Yesterday, as they were passing Charing-
cross, the latter, seeing a new-police man walking along, fell
into the rear of his friend, and told the policeman that the
gentleman just before them had escaped from the Bridewell
at Liverpool. The policeman was not quite certain how to
act upon such information, but on the other insisting upon the
matter, and offering himself as a witness of the fact, and to go
at once and swear to the matter, he went up to Mr. Batchelor,
the master of the Bridewell, and said, " You are my prisoner,
Sir." Mr. 8., rather astonished, asked for what, when the police-
man very gravely said, " For escaping from the Liverpool
Bridcwell." Mr. B.'s eyes were opened by the answer, and
seeing his friend enjoying the joke, he also entered into it, and
said he could not deny the charge. He had been in the
bridewell not long ago. The policeman having such an ad-
mission, thinking he was now sure of a good case, and had the
prospect of a nice trip to Liverpool, walked his prisoner off
towards the station-house in Scotland-yard. When they had
gone far enough to make the joke complete, the deputy con-
stable came up and let the policeman into the secret--wisely,
he laughed at the circumstance, and was rewarded with some-
thing to cheer him under the disappointment.
EXTRAORDINARY FEROCITY OF A RAT.--The
following singular case ought to operate as a caution to per-
sons entrusted with the care of children. On the return last
Thursday night of Mr. G. Wieland, of Drury-lane Theatre,
who is a widower, from his duties in King Arthur, to his
abode in Wakefield-street, Regent's-square, he was informed
by his housekeeper that his child (eighteen months old) had
been disturbed several times, but from what cause she knew
not. She had taken the infant. up three times, but being
overcome with sleep had laid her down again. Mr. Wieland,
it appears, took no immediate notice of the circumstance, but
was shortly afterwards alarmed by hearing a dreadful scream.
He flew to the bedroom and took up the child. On removing
the sheet he found to his great surprise a quantity of blood
round the feet. He gave the infant to the woman to examine,
and in the meanwhile turned down the bed-clothes, when a
tremendous rat started forth. With great presence of mind
Mr. Wieland quickly covered the clothes all over the bed, and
tucked them tightly round, by which means he was fortunately
enabled to catch and destroy the monster. The first toe on
the right foot of the infant was bitten completely round the
joint, and on the side of the left foot the rat's teeth had met
in to ',a places. The little sufferer was placed under the care
of D,.. Ramadge, of Ely-place, Holborn, who has pronounced
her out of danger, and has expressed his astonishment at her
miraculous escape. The xat measured sixteen inches, and it
supposed nut have made it's way from the kitchen to the top
of the house.., • •
