The robbery at Mr. Cobb's house, at Elstree,
which is briefly reported in some of the papers, was
attended by circumstances of some interest. He
had been with the greater part of his family on a
visit to a friend at Barham 'Wood, leaving one of
his daughters, wlio ‘A as indisposed, at home, and
a young Lady on a visit at his house, remained to
keep her company. These two Ladies retired to
rest about twelve o'clock. The family party did
not return home till about two. Sometime after
they were gone to bed, the young lady visitant dis•
tinelly heard people moving about the house, one
of whom said, " we want more light," but under
an impression of its being some of the riervar4s, she
paid no regard to if. The robbers limited theirde-
predations to the lower part of the house. They
found upon the sideboard about sixty pounds worth.
of plate, which they seized. They got into the
house by taking out u pane of glass with a dia-
mond, and cutting out a piece of the window-
shutter, whereby they undid the inner fastenings.
It has excited a s:rong sensation for miles round;
private patroks are employed in the neighbouring
villages, and. many families sit. up all night, report-
ing, when morning co ot.s, imaginary attempts,
which orii;inate only in their own fears.
