MoRE Mountaineering few weeks we
have had to notice the fact Of the burglarous entry
of two distinct blocks of dwelling houses, on diff
ferent nights; and now we have to state that on
Thursday night block Of houses, consisting Of
about seven, known Walkers Row, near the
Patent Office, were severally entered, by what we
must suppose to be an organized band Of thieves.
The usual means Of entry, by cutting the rear win
dows, was resorted to. The losses consisted chiefly
of silver articles used for table purposes.
