OUTRAGE AND ROBBERY AT BRADFORD.
A daring robbery, accompanied with violence and
outrage, was committed on Monday night last at Bolton
Grange, near Bradford, the residence of Mr. Charles
Clough, solicitor, and clerk to the Bradford county
court. About half past nine o'clock seven men, armed
with pistols and bludgeons, having their faces blackened
and covered with masks, entered the house, first making
their appearance in the k'tchen, and ordering the ser-
vants whom they found there to maintain the most per-
fect silence, on peril of having their brains blown out.
The screams which arose at this moment attracted
the attention of Mr. Clough, who was at the dinner-
table, having been detained at Bradford to a late hour.
He thought the noise was occasioned by the children
in one of the bed-rooms, and he proceeded thither.
On going up stairs, however, he found that the children
were quiet, and he was just about to return, when
ono of the domestics below said, You are wanted,
sir." He immediately wont into the kitchen, and, to his
alarm, there encountered several men whose faces were
blackened and masked. He had no sooner got into the

it." They then forced Mr. Clough before them into his
own bed-room. They threw him upon the bed, and
ordered him to remain there with his face towards the
bedclothes. Mr. Clough had received several severe
wounds, and was bleeding at this time profusely. The
plate-chest was situated near the bed of Mr. Clough,
and the fellows began to take out the plate, carefully
examining it, and separating the silver from the inferior
metal. Mr. Clough once glanced his eye in the direc-
tion where they woro engaged, and for doing so
received a violent blow from one of the bur-
glars, who accompanied the attack with many
threats. They secured all the silver plate, and loft the
inferior articles behind. They also demanded of Mr.
Clough any money he might have upon him, and he was
obliged to give them two 5/. notes, some gold, several
checks and bills of exchange, besides a gold watch and
appendages. In the meantime, others of the brutal
gang had plundered other parts of the house, taking
from Mrs. Clough a gold watch and appendages. Two
or three of them had also been to the stable, turned out
the horses, and conducted the groom, whom they had
found there, to the house. The band of robbers then,
with the most violent threats, conducted the whole of
the household—master, mistress, and domestics—to the
cellar, and locked the door upon them. The robbers
got safely away, taking with them property in silver
plate, 8,:,c., to the value of 300/. The police have since
been engaged in an active endeavour to discover the per.
petrators of this outrage and robbery. A reward of 1001.
has been offered for the capture of any or all of the rob-
bers. Mr. Clough is confined to his bed, and has suffered
greatly from the wounds he has received. We may add
that it is supposed that several other men guarded the
outside of the house. B )Iton Grange is a lonely place,
at a short distance from Bradford,

A GAs MANAGER CAUGHT NAPPING.—On Tues.
day last, the anniversary of the marriage of the Right Hon.
the Earl and Countess of Seafield, a ball and supper were
given by the noble pair, at Cullen House, to commemmorate
the happy event. Cullen House and premises have been for
a considerable time back lighted with gas from the works of
the Cullen Gas Company. But about twelve o'clock the
ball-room was suddenly enveloped in utter darkness—every
light in that spacious apartment, as well as in the numerous
apartments in Cullen House, being extinguished. Messen-
gers were instantly dispatched to Cullen to ascertain the
cause, when the manager was found snugly esconced in bed,
and the gas at the works completely exhausted. This tem-
porary interruption to the pleasures of the evening was,
however, remedied with as little delay as possible, by the
substitution of wax candles, and everything went on in the
same happy and agreeable manner as formerly,..—Bantrthirs
