PETERSFIELD.
BURGLARY.—Early on Sunday morning last a burglary was committed at the Bell Inn, kept by Mr. William Moone, at the entrance from New-way to the Square. It appears the inmates retired to rest at half-past 12 o’clock, and upon coming down in the morning it was discovered that a lead casement had been removed from a window looking into the back premises, and an entrance made by the cross iron bars being cut out of the wood frame, apparently with a strong knife, through which admission was gained to the back room. In this room, in a cupboard, the thief took a plum cake, a basket of apples, one pound of raisins, and some articles of wearing apparel. The passage was then crossed into a small parlour, when a slide-light communicating with the bar was forced back, and an entrance effected to the same, and where, having spiritually regaled himself to his heart’s content, took away a bottle of pale brandy and some gin in a jar, by way of keeping a merry Christmas. It seems the burglar well knew the premises from the way in which he proceeded, the spot selected being in no way overlooked either by the house or the public road, being completely shut off by intervening buildings.
