[FURTHEN PA It Ituu ARS.J
A writ daring burglary owl robbery was enm.
mined at ('aswick ',Mgt., in the !atrial* of Uffiug-
ton, the holetution of John Lavidge, shepherd to
Sir John Trollire, Hart. on the eight of Saturday
se' 'gilt, about eleven o'clock, Wir four villain.,
armed with gulls suet pistols, tug in disguise.
who forcibly broke open the dime (the poor man
mid his family being In bed) with an iron crow.
and three of them entering the bed-chamber of
Lavidge with a lighted motile, whilst the other re-
mained below stairs to a spy, demanded his money,
threateising to blow his braias ant if he did not in-
stantly comply. Having obtained Coin him Lis
purse, cyn.tainitrr about Its. his watch, and the
key of the bureau, they pioceeded to !snuck it,
and took what little property it eontai ed, about
4L in silver, and half-a-guinea : they next proceed-
ed to search the other parts of the house, which
they did in the most deliberate manner, and took
from the pocket of a young woman, the daugh-
ter of Lavidge, who slept iu an adjoining chamber,
the shillings iu mot:ey, and afterwards from a
box in her room eighteen silver tea spoons.—
They then seized on all the linen they could Haul is
considerable quantity), several artielts of wiaiiiit;
apparel, -a quantity of sugar wail tea, tire or six
bottles of made wine, some cheese, and, in short,
every thing they could convey away, and then de-
camped, having first secured the tumor man aid his
family by leaking them all up iu a chamber.
.Whilst the three villains were up stairs extorting
the purse from Lavidge, the one below called out
to them several time. to blow his bruins out. It is
observable, that amongst the thilygs stolen were
some bundles of cloths* belonging to the servant*
of Sir Joint Trollope, which had been taken to La-
vidge's, for the purpose of being washed, and the
villains not deeming it prudent to carry them otf,
left them under a hedge near the house. We un-
derstood that an investigation of the transaction ha*
taken place before the Rev. B. V. Layard, at Uf-
litigton, mill hope it may lead discovery of the
perpetrators of this most daring and atrocious
offence.

We learn by 77,e Taunton Courier, that t.n ili•-
cisive measures have yet been adopted to place the
concerns of the Milvertou and Taunton Bank in a
train of settlement ; and it is feared that a cumin,-
sion of bankruptcy must be r rot:ceded on
Messrs. 'Vol:tics, whose calamities can only be v..
tributed to their haring. advituced cootideruble lotus
