A MAD COW—SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

market. He endeavoured to stop her, but with a fearful butt
of her horns she caught his clothe!, and pitched him into a
pen full of pigs—and, not content with this: the furious beast
leaped into the pen, and trampled both pigs and man in a
dreadful manner. The policeman lies in a dangerous state.
The infuriate animal then ran down Queen-stree, and caught
up a pig on her horns, which was instantly killed. A woman
was also dreadfully injured in the same street ; and a gentle-
man in Blackball-street met with some .severe bruises from
being knocked down ; but the most seriousll-strect accident of at

present lies, we regret to say, in a very serious state from in-
juries received by him from the horns of the animal. The
cow ran on and upset several men in Blackball-place and
Stoney-batter, all of whom were more or less injured. In
its headlong course the animal ran into Mr. Reed's meal-
stores in Stoney-batter, and after committing dreadful !Tie-
ges there, it was at length despatched by a smith,

GANG OF BURGLARS !IV SUFFOLK.—Considerable
excitement prevails in the parish and neighbourhood of La-
venham, in Suffolk, from the discovery of a gang of depre-
dators, who have infested the neighbourhood for some time
past. On the night of Tuesday, the 20th ult., the ware-
house of Mr. Bobby, grocer, of Lavenham, was entered by
a false key. Three men commenced, filling some bags with
sugar and other articles. Mr. Bobby and his men wer.

of double doors, the thieves forced their way out, and were
making off, when Mr. Bobby fired a pistol, and the ball
whizzed so close to the head of one of them that he fell
down from fright and was secured. Mr. Bobbyl..s man snap-
ped another pistol which missed fire, and the other two made
their escape. They were traced in the direction of Heding-
ham, where the parties in pursuit obtained the assistance
of the Essex constabulary, and succeeded in apprehending
them at a beer-shop. The three men in custody are named
Rust, Bere, and Smith, natives of Lavenham._ They have
