The following information of a most daring attempt
to rob and murder Mr. 'William Cowper Robinson, of No.
6,Cnnon--street, City, was given at the office of the Coin-
missioners of Police, in Scotland-yard, as well as at all the
Metropolitan
police offices. On Saturday afternoon, about
four o'clock, Mr. Robinson was driving in his phaeton. On.
passing a place on Hays Common, known by the name of
Coneyhall-hill, on the road from Croydon to Westerhain,
two men, with their faces covered up to their eyes, each
with a pistol in one hand, and a stick in the other, rushed
from behind a thick bush, and, ordering him to stop, pre-
sented their pistols, and commanded him to deliver his mo-
ney. Mr. Robinson said that he had none for them, and
one then called to the other to hold fast, and said, " I'll
soon settle the business." This ruffian then sprang forward.
and seized the horse's head, while his companion rushed to
the steps of the phaeton, and, presenting his pistol close to
Mr. Robinson's breast, laid down his stick at his feet, and
then proceeded tc...puil open his great coat, on which Mr.
Robinson raised his foot and kicked him backwards. The
villain staggered and partly fell, but instantly resumed his
feet, and fired his pistol, the ball passing through Mr. Ro-
binson's cloak and the back part of his phaeton. The other
villain, upon finding that his companion's ball did not take
the desired effect, immediately presented his pistol so close
to Mr. Robinson, that he seized hold of the muzzle, and,
pushing it on one side, parried its direction at the moment
that it went off, and the same ruffian made a blow at Mr.
itohinson with a stick, which knocked off his hat and broke
his whip. At this instant the horse broke away from the
one
who held it, :Ind, suddenly turning round, went off
quickly forty or fifty yards,
and on Mr. Robinson looking
round, he saw the villains pick •up his hat, and instantly
disappear behind the bushes. They were afterwards seen
running across the Common, in the direction of Hayes or
Beckenham, but they ultimately escaped,
