EXTRAORDINARY BURGLARY IN A PUBLIC-HOUSE
—Patrick Cumming, a labourer, aged 23, Was
brought before Mr. Benson, charged with two others
named Thomas Tadman and Frederick Alger, with
feloniously breaking into and entering the Lord
Exmouth public-house, Star-street, Lower Shad-
well, on the morning of Sunday, the 19th of last
month.

Tadman and Alger were arrested on the morning
of the 19th at 218, High-street, Shadwell,
where Tadman carried ou the business of a
clog maker, while Alger occupied the lower
part of the house as a photographic artist. It is
believed they were the perpetrators of many daring
burglaries and robberies, but suspicion was dis-
armed by their carrying on lawful occupations is
the house and their apparent industry. The three
men were seen loitering about the Lord Exmouth
public-house and vicinity on the morning of the
19th, an hour after the house was closed. They
were seen in consultation by a police-constable
named Wm. Beer, No. 106 K, who missed them for
some time. Hesaw them again and Tadman and Cum-
ming ran away. Alger ran towards him with his hands
in his pocket, and appeared to be very unconcerned.
Beer demanded of him what business ho had in the
street at two o'clock in the morning, to which
he replied nothing. Ile was taken into
custody.
It was soon after discovered that the Lord FA-
mouth public-house had been entered by thieves
and plundered of two coats, a waistcoat, a pair of
trousers, a scarf, a shirt, a pair of stockings, a
pillow case, a glass cloth, a handkerchief, napkin,
15d. in pence and halfpence, and 13 farthings.
The money was taken out of the till. Admission
to the house was obtained by opening a window of
the first storey, which is only a few feet from the
ground. The whole of the property was found
concealed on the same day in the house of
the prisoners Tadman and Alger. The former was
in bed when he was arrested, and said he had not
been out all night. His identity was clearly mad°,
