flagrant attempt at robbery and murder, which took place near

the recent new road with the old one. As one Richard Owen,
an established messenger from the Custom House at Holyhead
to the Custom House at Damn:l46s, was yesterday morning,
at about four a. tn. on his way from the former to the latter
'
Custom House wit); only the usual quarterly accounts, and no
public money, he was twice shot at near Clelnog, one ball hay.
to entered his hat, through the side, and out at the crown,
and the other ball having grazed his left Bidet but without
doing him the least penvanatinjury,other than frighetning him
to such a degree, that he drove on at so furious 4 TM* to Llan..
gefoi, that his horse became much tired,_ and be was obliged to
complete his journey on foot. The villain having discovered
that his abets had no effect, made hie acepe.—(Arerth nrakt'
