The detection of two of the men concerned in
robbing the warehouse of Messrs. Crosby and
White, clothiers, at Westbury, in this couuty, was
a most fortunate circumstance, as it appears they
had associates in situations which enabled them to
dispose of the stolen property without suspicion.
and, consequently, Oki( wicked traffic might have
been carried on to a most ruinous extent.
