DARING ESCAPE OP A CONVICTED FELON.—Leach
Borley, a man who was, on Friday last, convicted be-
fore Sir John Matteson of maliciously setting fire to a
barley stack, the property of Mr. George Gayford, of
Rymer House, and sentenced to transportation for life,
was immediately after his conviction conveyed with
other prisoners to the van usually employed in carrying
prisoners to and from the gaol to the Shire hall. On the
arrival of the van at the gaol, the turnkey, as usual, went
to opus the door of the van to let out the prisoners,
when Borley made a sudden spring from the steps.
The governor (Mr. Orridge), who was standing by at
the time to receive the prisoners, noticing the spring
of Borley from the steps, quickly attempted to
grasp his collar, but the rapid motion of the
convict prevented his so doing, and he, suddenly,
eluding his grasp, ran off rapidly in a direction towards
Haberden Grounds. Several of the turnkeys at-
tempted to follow him, but the darkness of the night,
together with the speed of the convict, prevented_
their coming up with him. After the other pri-
soners in the van had been removed into the gaol, it
was discovered that Borley had, during his passage
from the Court to the gaol, taken off his shoes and
removed his handcuffs ; thus freed from all tram-
mels, he was enabled to exercise that speed for
which he has been so long distinguished, and made
off—a speed which has rendered him popular
throughout the neighbourhood in which he resided,
and upon which lie plumed himself so much, that
the notoriety thereof was even alluded to and
commented upon in the course of his trial, when
no conception could, be formed, after the solemn
judgment which had been pronounced upon him, of
the extraordinary nature of its results ; the excite-
ment which this event produced in the town within
one hour after his escape was so great., that it
exceeded belief and paralysed exertion. Air.
Orridge, however, with his well-known activity
(an activity which has been called into exertion
for the space of 46 years, and the anniversary of which
46th year, strange to say, fell on this very day), imme-
diately proceeded into the town, and caused hand-bills
descriptive of the prisoner's person and character to be
printed. Up to the hour of our going to press, we have
received no intelligence of the capture of the prisoner.—
