DARING ROBBERIES, AND ADROIT APPREHENSION
oP Tun ROatialia.—The town and neighbourhood of
Ituthin has for genie years been iniesfi.tl by a Oaring gang
of robbers; rod dating lest winter it was not uncommon to
ileum two or three robberies every week. Two of the
suspected persons were apprehended on esparate charges,
one was tried at the Denbigh Quarter Sessions and was im-
prisoned for six weeks ; the other was left kr the assize.
He stood charged with stealing • quantity of bacon end
batter from the dairy of a farmer. At the trial the pri-
soner, Edward Williams, was defended by Ur. Morgan
Lloyd, who having made the ingenious iliszosery that pork
vets not bacon till it was hung, established a very effective
flaw in the indictment. The prisoner was securdingly ac-
quitted, and has been at large since the spring 111Sitill. On
the night of Pridsy last, the shop of Nr. David NVitliatns,
draper end gluier, was broken open, aud a considerable
quantity of woollen cloth, silk Itauatichiele, waistcoat
pieces, ifico , was stolen. On Monday last, as two young
men were walking along the Chester road, they observed
Edward Williams bring a large box from a liosato field, and
hand it over the !mho to the driver of the Clint., carrier's
waggon. They returned to to • a aid gar@ information to
the polies, who ruined the waggon, and found the Lei to
sontain most of the articles stoles, turn the diaper's shop.
Williams end the waggoner were placed in gaol. On the
following night, a similar box filled with rubbish, and ad-
dressed as the other, was forwarded. to Birkeah.ad, and the
person who came for it also a; pretended. It is hoped that
these discoveries will lead to the entire breaking up of the
Ban&
