APPREHENSION OF A SUPPOSED GANG OF
BURGLARS.

The town of Truro awl its neighbourhood hat been
considerably agitated doting the past week, in conse-
secytence of the amoehensioos of four persons, under
serf bnpictous circumstances, and who are supposed to
'levels, part nt a gang of London burglars, and intented
.to make Cornwall the scene of their operations.
The discovery and apprehension ot the suspected
. ,petion
rtook place under the following. extraordinary
cireeimotoces:—On ti e forenoon of Fridgy, the hind
' Captert Devonshire of Newham, being in a field
near tharylace. and adjoining a In eroad,calied Barrack-
' lane, ab4rved a man look over the hedge, as if making
asetvitioni. The hind soppeu,ing that this person had
some particular' object in view,Withdrew behind another
hedge, through which he 'could observe his motions,
• when he saw him enter the field, put something into the
hedge and break off and place in a particular way a.
branch of chain, as a mark. The person watching being
desirous of not rearming the man he observed, went to
dinner, and soon after returned, and on looking where

the person bad been,he discovered by the broken branch
two bags, one of blue stuff and the other of tickers,
which, on opening, be found to contain a complete set
of burglar's implements. Struck with the discovery,
he hastened to accpaint his master with the fact.
Captain Devonshire, who is a Magistrate for the
County, immediately ordered the bags to be conveyed
to his house, when, on examination, they wete fourld to
contain upwards r,f 100 skeleton keys, most of them
being double, of all sizes, being fitted for opening all
descriptions of lucks, from the largest in use, to the
• smallest cabinet ones. These skeleton keys are of the

very best workmanship—some of them are fitted for
opening padlocks, and by ingenious contrivances are
calculated for fitting pipes of different sizes. The:e
• were also pocket crow-ban of great power, with piecese--
of. wood or wedges, for plicing between them and -a
• door post, &c. so as to prevent the marks of force from
• - being ton apparent. -There were also files,-and a great
• 'variety of other implements, ail perfectly adapted for
, tbe, intended purposes. The importance of this disco-
. 'very 0122 instantly seen, and though labouring tinder a
severe attack of the gout, Captain Devonshire took in-
- -giant measures for the discovery of the gang, who were
, .evidently practised thieves. He directed the different
• constables to make careful but secret inquiries at all the
inns and public houses in the town and neighbourhood,
7 'for any strangers that might have been in or about the
:place, and he placed a watch near the spot•where the
, Imp were found. . ......:.. . . '.•
la the course of Saturday he learned that two persons
itad been for some days living at the Exeter Inn—that
• they had been taking walks all round the neighbour-
hood, and had been occasionally visited by two other
r persons. . No one, however, came to see for the bags
• until Sunday morning, when, as it afterwards appeared,
the persons it the Exeter Inn, hating been visited by
, their acqUaintancel, who shently after left them, they
called for their bill, which they paid, and immediately
! proceeded to the lane,- where the person who discovered
• 'the bags immediately. recognised the man who had hid•
. den them, as he and hiv .coMpanion approached the
. spot where they had been deposited—they were taken
• into custody by-Hugh Bawden, a constable of the palish
of Kenwyn, and Mark Rowe, a constable of the borough
of Truro, by whom they were conveyed before Captain
D.-vondrire. •
. .
Oa being searched, there was found on one of them a
. knife,.apparently new, of a peculim construction,having
-...but one long blade, sharp pointed. and sp formed, that
en being opened, it was secured (rem. ciesing ley C pro-
. 'fiction in the spring which fitted a notZh in.the back of
the blade ; it is s most formidable weapon. •and it may
• be instantly used as a dagger with fatal effect. On one

and. three sovereigns—and on the either 26
These persons being secured, inquiries were made for
r
their companions, when it was ascertained that two men
•
answering the description given of them, had been seen
on the road leading to Chacewater. They were imme-
diately pointed, and being overtaken at Chacewater,
were taken into custody and searched by Wm. Rowe,
an active constable at Kenwyn, who bad for several
days kept a sharp lock out for them.
On one of them was found a bundle containing a num-
ber of skeleton keys, a dark lantern, phoSphorus box, ke.
This man, on being searched, said to the constable—
" There is what you want," showing a belt round his
. waist, in which there was stuck a brace of very small
pistols, but which were not loaded ; he had about him a
. number of balls to fit. The bag containing the skele-
len keys, kc. was made of the same tickers tip that loun i
in the hedge near Newham—and apiece of the Tinter
newspaper found in the one,corresponding exactly with
. another piece found in the other bag.
The account these men gave of themselves is very
vague, and they have been detained.
It is evident they proposed robbing some of the banks •
here; two of them were seen making observations on
one of the Banks from an opposite passage during a
shower of rain on Saturday evening; and two men
knocked at the door after dark, saying they wanted to
see one of the bankeis ; and, on being told he did not
' lire there, they were very importunate for admittance to
_ thaw a draught on the Bank. Happily the person who

fellows taken at Chacewater were on their way to com-
mence operations in the west of the county, whilst their

NItiETING§:

ST, PAUL,. COVENT GAIMMCN.
•
A wetting:was held ester day morning, in the.Vestry'
!Matta the Chive!), for the purpose of appointing a
Vessay Cleek, Overseers, and transacting other businesr.
'Since the last meeting, a more than usual degree of
interest has existed in the parish, and it being generally
known that it was the intention to propose Mr. Corder.
for the situation of Vestry Clerk, in opposition to Mr.
Roche, long before the time appointed for the meeting,
the Vestry racist was filled by respectable parishionerV.
At ten oc'ock, Mr. Dow, r f York-street, took the Chair.
Mr. TAYLOR propose.! Mr. Corder for the office of
Vestry Clerk. He trusted the Meeting would agree
qvith him that it was quite time they got rid of a select
vestry ; he had no doubt there were many advocates for
ir, but who were they? Why, the Gentlemen who en-
joyed their rump-steaks and veal-cutlets at the expense
of the parish. But, independent of their love of good
eating and drinking, of which there was a pretty good
specimen in the bill which the paiish paid for a dinner for
theseGentleme n when they went down toNor wood, every
article was supplied to the parish at 40 per cent. higher
price than it could be purchased by an individual. He
would mention a few instances: he had examined the
draper's bill, which amounted to 1631. Now he was pre.
pared to prove that the same articles might be purchased
for 601. There was one item in the bill which he would
read, viz.•o3 yards of calico at 1201*. per yard. It was
well known this must be nearly three times the regular
price--(Loud cries of Shame, shame). Mr. Taylor
then went through a great number of other accounts,
which were all charged at a similar extravagant rate.
One of the Select here said, the parish was obliged
to pay more than individuals, as they had no funds to
enable them to pay ready money—(Loud cries of " No!
how can you, m hen so much is spent in eating and
drinking").
Mr. TayLort remarked, that there was onit one more
instance of squandering away of the parish money. to
which he would advert, and that was in 1816 After
a few years' service, the Select thought al..' Matron of
he Workhouse eught to retire on a pension; they ac-
cordingly voted her an alio Kance of 261. per year, which
she had regularly. received tip to thi. day, making a
•surn of 3001. and, although-superannuated twelve years
since, tie was very likely to live long enough to receive
3001. more of the parish money.—(Mr.l'aylor concluded
a very long address, by calling on the Meeting to come
forward and support Mr. Corder):
Mr. Roche, the present Vestry Clerk, was put in
nomination by one of the Select Vestrymen. Hi did not
address the Meeting.
Mr. Corder was put in nomination by Mr. Paiute&
• Mr. Connen—Gentlemen, I have not sought the of-
fice you have nominated me to ; but this I will say.. if
you elect me I will do my duty. I am glad to meet
you this day in open Vestry, for I know every effort has
been made to smuggle a Select Vestry Bill through
Parliament ; and Mr. Roche, your clerk, was•the agent
wh . made It the most active—(No, no, from Mr.
Ito, he) —My opponent says, No ; but I will prove it—
(M -. C. hie went through the measures that have oflate
been taken to introduce a Bill into •Parliament).—At
our last nice ing I inf-rmed you of the expense of a
lainner at Nor wood. I have since seen the books, and
rl find that was not the only one. For a dinner at
Easter. I find the sum of 471.65. charged, ezclusivuof

Ili. Some of these festivals ate certainly some time
since, but the tame persons now martaAe your affairs
(Shame, shame). Mr. Roche had informed a friend of
his (Mr. C:1 that he felt extremely mortified at being
opposed by a sweep—(Loud cries, We hope you will
sweep him out).
Mr. CORDER—If you wish I should fill the office you
have the power ; but I will never condescend to any
dirty or mean trick to obtain it—elect me, and I will
do my duty.
Mr. Cams, one of the " Select," admitted that „al--
though perhaps they had paid an exorbitant price, yet
the Money expended had been laid out among the pa:
rishioners themselves. So much for the general charge
of extravagant expenditure. With respect to the 'sirup
colas charge of the dinner, he was milling to admit that
the charges for that were such as ought not to be borne
by the parishiohers, and he should propose that each
person present at it should conttibute his quota towards
the expense. • 1
This produced some remarks from the" Anti-Select,"
and roars of laughter from all, in which Mr. Cribb,
seemed heartily to join.
Mr. CORDER contrasted the extravagant system 4:
parochial feasting pursued here with other places. In
this palish, one dinner was charged 421. He would beg
them to look to the conduct of Dr. Mitiord, at Reading;
who refused to allow the small sum of 31. 6v. fat a parish
dinner—(Bravo. bravo! the Doctor was tight.)
Mr. PHILLIPS said that they could not poll by ballot
whilst one pariAiOner was opposed to that mode.
: After some further discussion, Mr. Roche and Mr.
Corder were proposed as candidates for the office of
Vestry Clerk, and the show of hands not being satisfac-
tory, a poll seas demanded by Mr. Roche's friends.-e-:
At the close of the poll for the day, the numbers were--.

LAMBETH.

A Meeting of the Inhabitants of Ois Pari,h took place
yesterday, in the Boys Parochial School, Lambeth•
green ; the Rev. Dr. I).ov.gy in the Chair.
Mr: Robt. Watmore, the Vestry Clerk, was re-elected ;
Mr. Waimsley and Mr. Benjamin Somerfield were alit-
nimously elected Churchwardens for the ensuing year.
A show of hands was then taken for Gentlemen to
be returned to the Justices for the office of Overseer.
The Commissioners of the Court of Requests were
re-elected.
A Parishioner objected to the hurried Manner in
which the elections were made; he had moved that Mr.
George Fall be a Commissioner. •
The CHAIRMAN said the question was put and carried,
before he was aware of that Gentleman's nomination.
Mr. FALL said that his name had been vociferated
from one end of the room to the other, and yet nobody
heard it—(Laughter).
The election of Auditors having been gone through,
Mr. Dotes rose to complain of the manner in which
the last year's accounts had been audited, and to express
his hopes that no Gentleman would accept of the
office of Auditor, unless he was fully convinced that he
had sufficitut time to devote to the duties. He moved
a Resolution to the effect, that the Auditors should be
summoned to meet at the workhouse seven days prior
to the Public Audit, for the purpose of prepating tl e
accounts tor the parishioners at large. . He spoke front
practical experience, and he:thought it morally impos-
sible for any man to do tl,e palish justice, unless the
Collectors made up their books, and allowed a sufficient
time for their inspection. They stele generally brought
to the Auditor at nine o'clock in the evening, and

. . .
etched away early the next et.y. yi consequencebf tl
be was often obliged to Irtorn,the books unsigned. t
Mr:lFrAawoongivehis'svarmeit support tothe motio4.
Mr. PALI. said, the fault might very easily-le tense-
died. The Parish had a clerk who was piiid SOUL Per
annum, and it was his duty .to examine the books. The
officers of the parish were always in too great a hurry
to get rid of their business, ever to economise to any
great extent. After some warm discussion,
The CHAMIAN, previous to putting the question,
concurred in the propriety of the advice given to the
auditor; which he hoped any gentleman who accepted
that office would avail hinsself of en all future occasions.
The motion was unanimously agreed to.
The Ramis said, he was most anxious to say a few
words as regarded Mr. Long, their present organist.
That individual, it was well known, was unfortunately
blind, and that defect tendered it extremely desirable
that the parish should have a person more capable of
Orin? satisfaction. Continued complaints were reach-
ing his (the Rector's) ears, of the inability of Mr. Long,
and he wished, therefore, to learn horn the Vestry, whe-
ther they would appoint a new organist, allow Long an
assistant, pension him, or—
The Rector was here interrupted by the most deafen.
ing shouts of " No, no !" o Poor fellowr o Shame,
shame!" which continued for some time.
The ReCTOR having at last obtained a hearing, said
he merely stared the facts as they had been represented
to him: the parish would, of course, act for itself.
Mr. Long's elecirn was then carried.
The CHAIRMAN said, a motion had been put into his
hands for paying the salary of the Beadles out of the
Poor-eatesi it was now paid out of the Church-rate..
He begged leave to state, that this course was with a
view of,giving the officers a proper controul over their
servants.
Several parishioners objecied to this proposition, and
the motion nut being seconded, fell to the ground:
Mr. WATAIOIIII, the Vestry Cie' k, read a petition from
James Andrews, Clerk to the Workhouse, praying for
an increase of his salary.
Mc. FALL said, the person who now petitioned them,
originally received 'a salary of 80 guineas a year; this
was raised to 1001. He subsequently met with some
generous Churchwardens, who raised it to 125/. After-
wards, and in addition to his salary, the sum of fifty
guineas was voted him ; finally, his salary was raised
to 150 gUineas.
Mr. Hattwoork supported the prayer of the petition.
Andrews had thirty-two books to keep, and many thou-
lead itAts to debit, and in the course of one year up-
' treiltda of 60,0001. in cash passed through his hands.
After a long and desultory conversation, the sub-
jeet was referred to the Parish Officers to investigate
and reports-
The sum 61'8001. was voted for the erection of tem-
porary wings to the buildings at Norwood..
Thanks hnviag been voted to the Magistrates, the
Meeting dispersed.
. ST. .GRORGWS, BLOOMSBURY.
Yesterday:She Annual Meeting of the Parishioners of
therpsfriah.of St... George's, Bloomsbury, took place at
St. George's thurth,Jor the election of Churchwardens
and othea4parechial officers.
. For-the last few days the inhabitants of the parish
have bees kept quite on the qui vine by the determined
spirit of opposition which has manifested itself, one party
appearing on the support of the Select Vestry, the other,
and consequently the more popular candidates for the
office of church ardens, were suppcnted by the pari-
shiowrs. At 211 early hour, the inhabitants began tb pro-
ceed to the Vestry. At 11 o'clock a posse of the legal
authorities had assembled about the Church, evidently
for the purpose of keeping the various conflicting par-
ties from .coming to a ' pugilistic contest ; and in the
course of the day it appeared this regulation- was of
some value, as after the polling had- commenced one of.
the candidates, and an independent voter; ernoOn col-
lision in the church-yard, and after using to e4hother.
very uncourteous language; the candidate placed him-
self in a position a la Crib, much to the delight and
amusement of the electors. •
On the Chair being taken, the CHAIRMAR addressed
the Vestry in a short speech, and was followed by ea
different proposers of the -candidates. The aspirantsl
then successively addressed the meeting, and kept is
amused for nearly three hours, detailing their various,
Motives for coming forward.. At half past one O'clock
the Meeting adjourned until three, when the polling
commenced': . • •
Mr. Minion, the Chairman, Shen 'called over the
following names, and requested those Gentlemen who
mere far the respective individuals to hold.up their hands.
For:iff. H. Morrell 13 hands were held up ; for Mr-
Briggs, a, sqlitnry hand held up;. for Mr. Alger, TO.
bandsappeaoid:Sfor Aire Jeakes, upwards of a hundred ;
and for Mr:-Thits)eibn. one hand and a hat, when the
election was declined tb have fallen on Mr. Alger and
Mrs- Jeakes, Mr. Warren. then demanded a poll, ob-
serving he bad been an inhabitant upwards of 40 years.
kr. Rostmost,. the Vestry-Clerk, then read the mi.
notes of the former vestries, and rlorrved, in the course
of a twiny only four contested elections had taken
place, one in 1731, the second in 1777. and the third
and fourth-in 1824. The precedents «ere but few, and
they had. to.go upon custom, and not by law, for by
law the Rector had the power to elect one, the parish
the othet, but no custom had deputed the election of
each of the Churchwardens to the inhabitants.
A Parishioner 'here inquired to what period were
they expected to pay upaheir poor rates? 1
Mr. Riniwsow—Up to the 29th of hot September. '
Panisfootraa.,-By law, those payraente are good if
offered here, and, therefore, we had better go br law
than custom—for my part, I .know a perion• who it prr
sent, wbo had been twee this day to the collector tom..
his rates, but he, was not to be found—he has kept out of
the way intentionally—(Br a vo,.bravo).
• it• was here *afiftrd, the :Collector was present,. aid-'
would be most happy to receive the money. • •
The Meeting then_ adjourned till three o clock, whin'
the polling commenced. Tbr polling proceeded with
,great spirit until five o'clock, when Mr. Henry Murrell
resigned the contest, after hiving polled '.63-votes ; but
Mr. Thissleton expressed his resoluh( n to prolong the
struggle until twelve o'clock, %shell the election must
terminate. Messta. Alger and Jeakes, however, con-
tinued considerably a head of Mr. Thissleton through-
out the evening, and at nine o'clock the eleciiort. of the
popular candidates was deemed so secuie, that; the Yes
try-loan was very thinly attended by the parivirioners,
the contest being considered virtually at an end. ,
