FEMALE HEROISM.—The vicinity of Chester
has recently been the scene of a succession of burglaries
and robberies. The sufferers by these depredations arc, Mr.
Clubb, of Newbold; the Misses Cox, of Newton, two maid( n
laidies, who live on their property and farm in a small way ;
and Mr. Tracy, of St. Anne's-street, Flocker's Brook.
The Misses Cox displayed great courage in repelling the
burglars. They were awoke by the villains presenting them-
selves at their room door, one of whom forcibly opened it,
and immediately levelled a pistol at the sister who was
in bed next the door; the object of his attack fainted
away. The other sister, alarmed at the noise, rushed
out of bcd, and attacked the ruffians at the door, and
etruek the man who had the pistol, which she knocked
out of his hand. A struggle ensued, and the lady
actually succeeded in thrusting the fellow out of the
room, She, however, ultimately became exhausted, and
was forced back into the room, being so dreadfully beaten
with the pistol oa the arms, shoulders, and face, as to be
incapable of further resistance. The noise of the struggle
awoke the servants, one of whom escaped down stairs, and
the other laid hold of one of the men by the arm, and said,
" For God's sake don't murder the ladies." At this time
Miss Cox Was bolding parley with her assailants to save her
life by giving up her property. The servant who had left
the hotoe succeeded in reaching a cottage immediately
adjacent, occupied by an elderly man named Frith, a shoe.
maker, having on no other garment than her chemise.
Miss Cox was on the point of giving up her purse, contain-
ing a considerable amount in gold, as the condition on
which their lives should be spared; but at this criais
voices were heard outside. which fortunately proved to he
those of the servant and Frith. The burglars then made
