Adamson, high constable of the Hundred of Macclesfield, who immediately recognised the description as answering that of parties he was in search of. He accordingly came to Shrewsbury Wednesday evening, and yesterday attended before the mayor and other magistrates, and Welled the male prisoners as belonging to a gang who are Inspected of having committed two burglaries during the month of November. The wearing apparel found in their possession answers the description of property stolen from one of the houses in Cheshire. The magistrates ordered that they should be taken back to the gaol to be discharged immediately, in order that Mr. Adamson might at once apprehend and remove them to Macclesfield. On their way thither, Barlow said to Mr. Adamson, I have often been at Shrewsbury, and wish I had never seen it. I suppose I shall never see it again; you've done for me now. We are informed that Barlow, although so young, has been an inmate of Knutsford gaol no less than six times, on charges of felony and poaching, Jackson has been twice committed a vagrant; and their chere amie, Elizabeth Lee, has been twice incarcerated as a common prostitute. Mr. Farlow has now in his possession a quantity of leather supposed to have been stolen by the prisoner. Some of it is marked W. 2.8. —Shrewsbury Chronicle. Chester Courant, 10 Dec 1839
