. . • . On Sunday evening; as Mr. Nadi. Crossland, of Sutton-street' Clerkenwell, was renaming from Highgate, he heard groans of the most distressing nature ; he followed the sound to a lane leading to a larm, up wkich lie proceeded about twenty yards, where he found a man lying on the ground, apparently in a very distressed - state, who; after some hesitation, informed him that he had been robbed, ill-treated, and left in the helpless state in which he was found ; when, just as he was about to raise the man up, a fellow rushed from behind the hedge, and knocked him dowu with a bludgeon, on which the man on the ground instantly got up, who no doubt had been making the pitiable moans to excite the attention of the. pas. censers as a decoy to rob them . They stopped Mr. C.'s moat!. with a c loth, end held him down while they robbed hint of Bank-notes to the amount of 131. a watch, and other property. They then cut his throat with a knife, but he stiuggled hard, and having a very thick neckcloth on, prevented them from effectually accomplishing their p w urpose ; al he then succeeded in wresting the knife from the robber, but not till the villain had cut his right hand grog dread fully. They then made - oft. Mr. Crossland returned to the public mail, and gourd the parole within about thirty yards of the spot m here it had taken place, who denied having heard Mr. Crossland van to him, and made no attempt to pursue the rubbtis. Mr. C. howevcr, procured assistance, and was conducted back to Highgate among his friends, when lie was supposed to be in a dying state, from the protitsion of blood that had flowed from hint ; but, on Mr. Wetherell, a surgeon, being called in, he applied the proper dressings, mid directed that he should be put to bed without delay, and by k e i i hint quiet he had no doubt but the wound would close; he is z,ince pronounced to be in a fair way of doing well.
