NOTTLNGHAK Yornar.
Yeaterilny Mr. Nichols, of this town, who bad
been garotted at Newmarket and robbed of nearly 3,1.1,.
on the previous Friday, arrived in Nottingham. A Islet
nutline of the affair has already appeared, partly incorrect.
Mr. Nichols, however, gives the following version of the
robbery :—On night be went to an establishniew in
one the main thoroughfares of Newmarket where sportier
men ere in the habit of assembling during the i..io
meetings at that town. nut wrote a letter for trans.
mission by that evening's post to Netalugtonti. Ho ti.eo
left the house and proceeded to the back of the premises.
when he felt himself suddenly g,numed tightly by the lock
from behind, and in such a manner se to deprive him of all
power of resistance, and, indeed, of capacity to give as
alarm. At the Mine instant he saw a little mss come in
front of him and heard a voice say "Open hi+ wiiiteent."
He then became insemilde, and was unconscious of anything
for some time. On recovering be found himself lying men
the ground with his clothes disarranged, sod on searclung kis
pockets he discovered that he had been robbed of his
watch and the whole of his money (with the exception
of amounting to 1,1405. Is. GI. in lank note+, :_•^lcl,
and silver, and a cheque on Messrs. Moore and itobinson'a
bank for 850 f. No trace whatever of the thieves could he
found. It was ascertained that two roes had by the means
of a ladder passed over a wall near the scene of the robbrry,
and thence made their escape through a house, one of the
inmates of which observed two fellows, one &weed in irk
clothes, the other iu light, hurry through the passage. The
greatest sympathy wan expressed tower& the victim of this
flagrant outrage, and Mr. Payne, one of the leading nien
the turf. offered to head a subscription with the aunt .4-0.
to reimburse Nichols for his loss ; several other member,t
the ring also expressed their willingnessto follow thi• c•
ample. It is eatistictory to odd that as fares persons! in•
Junes are concerned, the report in the Manchester paper is
exaggerated. Nichol+ lute sustained no material injury (min
the ill.treatment he received ; none of his ribs are bre*.vo.
nor is he in any way maimed or rendered incerehle of r r.
suing his ordinary avocations. Ilia pecuniary km will, it ',Us
he feared,be considerable under any cinumstenvee. Ouly ens
or two of the bank notes In his privession inn be
titled, the numbers of the peat bulk of them, which vs
believe he drew from Menge. Moore and Robinson's leek
previous to his departure from Newmarket, not be•u;
known. The cheque for Wt. will, of coulee, be umvaib
able to the thieves, as payment of it has been stopped. It
is perhaps due to Nichols to state that, severe s,.
loss has been, he is, we uuder+tand, quite able to roc'
his engagements. His heaviest lasses at Newmrtet
amount to about 900/., principally due to persons reudent
in Manchester, and this sum will be paid before Weilneshiy.
His liabilities in Nottingham have ahead! been diwhaTe'4
The police are ou the alert to discover the perpetrate. .4
this daring outnige, Rod we understand there is some chose
of their being detected.
