The Wigton House Breaking

Carlisle Patriot - December 27th, 1844

THE WIGTON HOUSE BREAKING. ___         We are happy to state that the police  have succeeded in capturing an individual suspected, on very clear grounds, of  being one of the parties who recently broke into the shop of Mr. GRINDLE,  grocer, at Wigton.       His name is GILLESPIE, and he is well  known as a disreputable character. He was traced in consequence of his having a  short leg, and a boot made to accommodate the deformity was left behind on the  premises by the robbers.       GILLESPIE was apprehended on Monday, by  HETHERINGTON, the Night Constable, in Union Street, Botchergate, in this city,  and was taken before the magistrates at Wigton, on Tuesday last, when he was  remanded for further examination until Saturday.     ***********************
