Parma, December 17.  A person found means, in the night
between the 15th and 16th instant, to get into the church of
St. Mary Magdelain, in order to steal the church plate; but
the post going by about four in the morning, perceiving more
light than usual in the church, alarmed the watch, and upon
opening the church the rogue was discovered behind the
organ, and finding he had no chance to make his escape he
stabbed himself with a knife . . .
