APPREHENSION OF TOMLINSON
AND HARRISON.

We have been favoured by Mr. Grossmith, the active
Superintendant of Police here, with the following account
of the mode adopted by him to secure the apprehension
of the above-named prisoners, convicted at our sessions
on Saturday last, of the burglary at Mr. Willison's house,
in Underbarrow. It exhibits tact and resources of no
ordinary kind, and is highly creditable to the officer, both
as regards his skill and vigilance.
" At half-past five o'clock on Sunday morning, the
twenty-fourth day of October, 1841, I was called up at
my house id Kendal, and received information that Tul-
lithwaite Hall, in Underbarrow had been burglariously
broken and robbed of a quantity of plate and. other pro.
perty, at three o'clock that morning. Having .got this
early intelligence, I was determined not to lose so
favourable an opportunity to apprehend the burglars. I
immediately at day-break, sent .Sergeant Hutchinson,
with two constables, to the base of the monument on
Castle How Hill, a very commanding height, in sight of
all the western approaches to the borough, and from a
considerable distance in the neighbouring county, with
directions to keep moving about there, in order that
their presence, which could not fail to be observed,
might deter the thieves from entering the town, and
drive them for shelter and concealment into some of the
numerous barns lying westward of Kendal, while I, with
one constable, patrolled and watched all the avenues which
opened from the same direction. Finding, at nine o'clock,
that they had not arrived, I sent a party of police to visit
the barns above referred to, who succeeded in driving
the thieves out from Collin-field barn, and in recovering
a part of the stolen property, together with a necker
chief which I know to have been worn by Tomlinson.
" The whole of that day every approach to the town
was strictly observed, and at night I sent out two parties
of police to make search in all the barns and out-build-
ings westward of the town, when one party succeeded,
about one o'clock next morning, iii apprehending both
Harrison and Tomlinson, and in lodging them in safety
in the police Office. These men I had suspected all
along to have committed the numerous weekly country
burglaries which occurred prior to the 24th of October;
but I had never before got a sufficiently early intimation
of the facts from the farmers to enable me to any good.
"If farmers and other country residents near Kendal
should have the misfortune to be robbed, I would sug-
gest to them the propriety of giving thepolieethq eartliilesl,
ey
information in their power, with a guarantee that
which the pobse may in-
cur, andl
Tl:lcalyde neckerchief."a tly.ncrheathcnclacleal utotydel ntdl atyjo' obto4iiirel',4lYl4 -r-rcognised by
me to be Tomlinson's, I was resolved toget the prisoner
to awn. Olt the following WednesdayVtherefore, having
heard in the meantime that he.had left with a woman in
Kirklpd a quantity of dirty clothes to be washed, I pro-
cured the bundle, and, having placed the hat kerchief
in question among them, cTsrried them to the louse of
Correction; and gave them to the Governor vlo hand
to Tomlinson. He did so, and in his presence the pri-
soner owned all the articles, including the identical hand-
kerchief found in the barn.
" F. GROSSMITII, Superintendent."
We understand that, since their conviction, the pri-
soners have confessed the robbery, and explained their
mode of proceeding. Nothing however has yet tran-
spired as to the place of concealment of the silver cups,
of which Tomlinson states that he is ignorant—his ac-
complice having slunk away from him in the night, while
they lay in the barn together, and removed them froai
the spot where they were at first deposited, in order to
defraud him of his share in the produce. " There is no
honour among thieves ! "—Kendal Mercury.

UNTAXED BREAD.—We are informed, that
the Reformers of East Sculcoates have hit upon an ex-
cellent mode of relieving the indigent poor, and at the
same time of showing them the actual working of the
bread-tax. In order to do this, they have entered into
a subscription, by means of which they are enabled to
sell bread to those who need it, at the price for which
it might be purchased were foreign corn admitted with-
out a duty. Every person can understand an argument
of this description, and none are so stolid as not to per-
ceive at once that, by -only paying five-pence for a loaf,
the regular charge for which is seven-pence-halfpenny, a
saving of twopence-halfpenny or one-third is effected.
This is a practical demonstration of the ills arising from
,the Corn-law, and we congratulate those with whom
;lac scheme originated. They are sure to make numerous
con arts.—Hullliockingham.
