A burglary was on Tuesday night last, effected in the dwelling of Mr Nathaniel Lucas, in Pitts Row, between the hours of 11 and 12; but small property was taken away owing to the villains being disturbed. They had wrenched open the back door, the noise occasioned thereby being attributed to the yard dog, and neglect of being properly secured. But shortly after the door of the lower apartment in which the greater part of Mr Lucas’s property was deposited was also heard to open, and shortly after the lid of a large chest to be raised. Where upon an alarm was given, by two persons in an adjoining room, when the villains rushed violently against the door, as if determined to force it inwards, in order to silence the noise, but falling in their ends precipitately made off through the garden fence. Two persons on Wednesday morning were apprehended of suspicion of the fact and committed for examination.
