In addition to the numerous robberies in which
artifice has been called to the aid of enterprise, the
following is worthy of 'notice : On Saturday se'n-

pearitne2 of a servant, went to the Royal Hotel in
Chester, and stok a pair of saddle•bags, the proper-
ty of H. rA Esq. who had just arrived from
Ireland, with which, though immediately pursued,
he got clear off. On Sunday, hand-hills having
been issued, he was taken in bed by Mr. PA a t; /. Lei
servant, at the Red Lion, in Pulford, on the road to

complied with, placing the hags on first, and then
the prisms'. ; but no "none'. was he seated than he
