a ROGUE 0UTWETTED.

A curious instance occurred in London some
time back, in which rascal was completely out
wtted. bachelor gentleman, who was a very
superior draughtsman and carica,urist, was laid
up in his apartments with govt in both feet. He
could not move, but sat IN an easy chair, and was
wheeled in and out ofhis chair 10 the slting-ro m
A well-known vagabond, ascertainnQ the fact,
watched till his servant was sent upon message
The area door communicating with the kitchen,
down went the vagabond, entered the kitchen,
walked up stairs, where, as he expected, he found
the gentleman quite alone and he! pless.
" am sorry 10 see you in such situation"
said the rogue "you cannot move, and the ser
want IS out" The gentleman started. at is
excessively careless 10 leave yourself so expos

liberty OF removing this watch and seals off the
table, and putting them into my own pocket; and
as perceive your keys are here | shall I'M
lock these drawers, and see what suits my pur-
pose"
"Pray help yourself" replied the gentleman,
who was aware that he could DO nothing 10 pre-
vent him.
The rogue did so accordingly; he found the
plate in the sideboard, and many other things that
suited him; and in ten minutes, having made up
his bundle, he made the gen.leman u low bow and
docamped. But the gentleman had the use of his
hand, and had not been idle he had taken an
exact likeness of the theft with his pencil and,
on his servants returning, soon after, he des-
patching him Immediately to Bow Street, with
the drawing and an account of what had happen

was Immediately Unidentified by the runners, and
was captured before he had time to dispose Of a
single article. He was brought to the gentleman
two hours afterwards, Unidentified. the property
