DETENTION OE A HOUSEBREAKER.-A namesake
of the celebrated Jack Sheppard W 33 on Monday last
apprehended by Superintendent Russell, at the Hen and
Chickens, in this town. From information received by
the superintendent, be thou ht it advisalle to pay a
passing visit to the house in question ; accordingly en
the evening of Monday last he " dropped in," like Paul
Pry, " hoping he did'nt intrude," and iu a short time
dropped on a very suspicious-looking personage, who,
with his female companion, had been domiciling at that
establishment since the previous Thursd'iy. At the
sight of the officer the veritable " Juck" became
alarmed—and this circumstance, combined with the
finding of seventeen skeleton keys and two jemmies,
made out a case sufficiently strong to warrant the super-
intendant in apprehending him. This he accordingly
did, aad the next morning he was taken before the bench
of magistrates, who considering " prevention far better
than cure," dispatched the worthy to grind corn or
wind, as the case might be, at the celebrated Nortbleach
mill, for the term of three calendar months.—Chelienharn
Journal.
