lIIGIIWAY ROBBERY.—As Mr. John Parsons, an
extensive cheese dealer, of Motcombe, Dorset, was re-
turning up Barford St. Martin.hill, six miles from Salis-
bury, from the annual "Twelfth Cheese-market," held
at the latter place, in company with his servant, in a gig,
four men came up to them and ordered them to stop.
One man stationed himself at the horse's head, a second
at the back of the gig, while the ,two others got on the
wheels and robbed Mr. Parsons and his man. From the
former they stole about thirty-four sovereigns and two
cheques on the Wilts and Dorset Bank, property, in the
whole, amounting to 10014 and from the servant they
took one shilling and sixpence. The robbers threatened
that if they made any resistance, it would be the worse
for them, and brandished their weapons over them. Mr.
Parsons being very unwell, quietly gave up his money.
One of the supposed ruffians is in custody, and was yes-
terday examined at Cobb's-office, Salisbury, and re-
manded to the county gaol.
