AMOROUS BURGLAR.
APPEAL BY A HOUSEMAID
An eloquent appeal on ' behalf of a burglar named William Carom; was made in the Paris courts by a pretty housemaid, who said she was engaged to him and related the singular circumstances in which she made the prisoner’s acquaintance. paroni, it seems, seeing the key sticking in the bedroom door of a bouse where he was looking for something to steal, went in and found the housmaid there. “He protended lie had mistaken the room,” the girl said, “but he sat down quite calmly and chatted. As he was rather well dresed and told me his father was an English Archbishop, I trusted him and promised to walk out with him.” The girl’s father declared that, despite other burglaries with which the prisoner was charged, he still wished to have him as a son-in-law. The judge drily remarking that the faDier was not hard to please, sentenced the prisoner to eight years’ penal servitude.
