DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF WORCESTER

This estimable prelate died at Worcester at about half-past
nine on Saturday night. The right rev. lord (Dr. James
Robert Carr) was consecrated bishop in 1824, and translated
in 1831, and has left behind him a character for sincere piety
and the most amiable personal qualities.

3URGLARN

On Monday last, Richard Whiteside, wheelwright; John I
-^k, sawyer ; Thomas Halton, padmaker ; and George I
• mechanic, were brought before the magistrates at
" charged with having broken into the house of
- Manor House, in Fulwood, and aling
913 in notes, gold, and silver sand at
George Moore, furniture broker,
-coring a portion of the money, knowing
stolen. The manner in which the discovery
~otiery was effected was as follows :—The four men
d as the thieves had gone to the Wool Pack public-
se, on Friday night week, and on their going in they took
Al themselves to order a man, who acts as brewer at the
cruse, out of the room, when he suspected that their motives
.or so doing could not be good ones' and he accordingly had
the curiosity to peep through a hole in the door, to watch
their actions, and he saw one of the men put his hand up the
,nev and scrape down a quantity of soot, which he put
in his jacket pocket ; the men soon after left the house.
Meanwhile information had been given at the police-office,
and Curl and Hanby, two of the officers, proceeded imme-
diately to Fulwood, to learn if possible a description of the
irs, but the disguised state in which they were when
')bery was committed, and the fright and excitement
Winch their unseasonable and alarming visit had caused 'to
Mrs. Wheeler, prevented them from obtaining much infor-
icy learned enough, however, to justify them
own opinions in at once taking into custody the
who have turned out to be the actual perpetra-
bort search they succeeded
...ae, Birbeck, and Halton. Challoner
hue and cry" raised,suddenly absconded,
as to say he was overtaken by his own conscience
re he was made the prisoner of his pursuers ; he tra-
i as far as Woodplumpton, and when there, under areal
behaved in a very extraordinary
. manner, having once attempted suicide by
another time by drowning, and finally he sur-
aimself, when he became the prisoner of an officer
ural police force, and was brought to the county
ration-house in this town, where he remained till
ay forenoon, until he was taken to the Town-hall.
a the inquiry was to be gone into, it was found neces-
to admit Halton as evidence against his companions, a
cumstance somewhat to be regretted, for from all accounts
a was most actively concerned in all the criminal prepara-
ions before, and the proceedings at, the burglary. From
this man's statement, then, it seems that, after leaving the
Wool Pack public-house (where they had not anything to
drink), they went towards the Moor, and on arriving at the
serpentine walk in the Moor Park, they exchanged each
)ther's clothes, and at the same time blacked their faces
with the soot procured at the Wool Pack. .They then went
o the house, and after trying all the doors and windows,
rid, finding them fast, broke a square in the cellar window
id then opened it, and two of them went into the house,
-nened the front door and let in the third, the remain-
-- left-to keep watch outside. On gaining ad-
