About a quarter past two o'clock in the morning, I was sent down to Mr. Alderman Smith's, Cresent-place , and saw a light in the stables; I knocked at the window twice, and then they put the light out; I went back and called Neal, the other watchman. We went to the entrance of the stables, and found three or four of the stable doors broken open - they are in Little Bridge-street. Neal stopped at the gate, while I went to the watch-house to get assistance, and as Berry and I were coming down we heard the rattle spring.
