Some excitomeut was caused in the parish of St. Maryleboue, "London, recently when it be came known that an attempt had been made by burglars to break into the parish church. At half-past 4 o'clock in the morning Police c instable Holland saw three men at tlio door of the church, which they were attempting to force open. He rushed up and seized one of tho men from behind. A desperate striv.'gle ensued, but the man was rescued by the otlier two. The olli-sr, howevor, seized one of the other men, and while struggling with him another took out of his pocket a six-chambered revolver ami fired at the officer four times. Three of the shots missed, but the last shot struck him in the leg. After struggling for some time the constable became exhausted, and the three men made their escape. The report of the revolvers attracted the attention of some other constables, to the scene. They found Holland in a partly uncon scious condition from loss of blood, owing to the injuries ho had sustained.
