    A burglar arrested at Hampstead had in his possession a cage of rats. The police said that his method was to open a window, turn in a rat, and then set his terrier after it. If there were wires or other burglar alarms, the animals were very certain to get them ringing, in which case the burglar decamped with all speed, leaving his terrier to follow him. If on the other hand, there was no sound of jangling bells or alarms, he could proceed peacefully with his nefarious business.
