The Robberies at Ward Sturt and Ward Premises
Details of a December burglary ring involving Ward Sturt and Ward, with entries through roofs and skylights. A large haul of hosiery and French silks valued around 250 pounds was taken. A distinctive shirt and a bed of burglary tools linked Davis, Robinson, and others to multiple robberies. A key clue led to a search of lodging where a curious instrument for cutting shutters was found along with many duplicates. Authorities connect the suspects to further crimes, while one prisoner claims a child theft case is involved.

Escape of Six Convicts From Nottingham Gaol
A Sunday prison break frees six burglars from Nottingham county jail after overpowering under-turnkey John Williams. They lock up the governor and staff, flee the gaol using keys, and are pursued by police with two men reportedly seen on the Mansfield road toward Sheffield. One turnkey, William Lowndes, was severely injured but survived. Thomas Barton was captured soon after in Colwick wood. A handbill lists the six escapees with detailed descriptions and rewards, while authorities extend patrols and warn of further burglaries.

Remains of an ancient wreck found near Woolwich
A Woolwich correspondent reports discovery of massive vessel wreckage within 100 yards of the royal arsenal. Two large keel pieces, each about 44 feet long, and floor timbers of ten inches, reveal a keel as preserved as ebony. Timber merchant Mr E Griffiths has bought the keel and invites reader input on the wreck’s identity, perhaps a warship or large Tudor-era vessel.
