It has never been Prothulgated, that a ,servani who

was always money in the house. This was com-

.the - house- several nights, but MrS. M was
prevented leaving home of an evening as usual by
in•lispo'sition. One of
.the gang who had squ.,bbled
about the division pf ether spoil, gave information
to Bow-street, of the intended robbery, and Larry
and his party witnessed a gang of seven beset the
house several evenings bef re they were ripe. They

culprits attended alone, and got into the house by
previous acquaintance with the then servant of Mrs.
Martin.
