GUILDHALL.
Yesterday John Moms, a lad, was brought before Mr. Al-
derman Ansiatr, upon suspicion of intending to commit a burglary
es the premises, in Wood-street, occupied by Mr. Gill and Mr.
Chatieswort, warehousemen.
The pristine% it appeared, was discovered lying in the dust.hrtle,
in the cellar, about half-past ten o'clock, on Saturday night, by a
woman who Is allowed to lodge with her husband in one of the
sales, for the protection of the property on the premises. She very
prudently suppressed ber alarm on perceiving the fellow, and left
the cellar without exciting in him a auspioion that he had been ob-
served. Having locked hint in, she procured the assistance of the
waiter at a publiedaeuse opposite who, with her husband, went
down and drew Wm from his hiding place. He accounted for being
'fnuud in such a place, by stating that he had been drinking deeply,
.and.bad made his way to the aesthete fur the purpose of obtaining
sense repose. He was given into the titre of a watchman, who had
net tie presence of mind to search him on thi spot, but took him to
the warchhouse. where a little piece of wax candle was found in the
lining of his calf, and part of a bundle of fire wood in his pocket.—
Some hours after a strong screw driver was picked up in the street
in the line the prisoner had been taken to the watchhouse.. Upon
searching the dusthole the prisoner%pocket handkerchief and a fire-
box with matches were found.
In reply to questions (tom the Alderman, the prisoner said he
had very lately returned fton. sea, and had not yet obtained any
employment. He lived with his mother, who is a costermonger in
Londuo.street, Loodon.rosd. He admitted be had a bit of candle
about him, but, be said. the phosphorus box he knew nothing of.
If be had nut been beastly drunk, he should not have intruded upon
the premises.
All the persons who saw him on Saturday night concurred in de-
nying that he was in the least intoxicated, and the Alderman cons.
mitted Mtn to Bridewell for three months.
