DARING ROBBERY.

On Tuesday evening Last, about half-past seven o'clock,
a most daring robbery and outrage was perpetrated at
the house of Mr. J. Tyrer, farmer, of Simonswood, the
particulars of which are as follow:
Oa the evening named the members of the family were
partaking of pancakes, when four or five men approached
the house, having their faces covered with black crape
and otherwise disguised. Two of the men entered the
outer kitchen, or porch, and one of them addressed the
inmates, saying, "I'm hard up, and want some money;"
to which a young man of the name of Richard Seddon,
brother-in-law to Mr. Tyrer, replied—" Here, I've six-
pence;" but the man rejoined he would have more than
that. The other man said " They are looking at us,"
and ordered his companion to turn his back, the latter of
whom instantly presented and fired a pistol at the young
man Seddon, the contents of which perforated both his
cheeks, The same discharge inflicted a dreadful wound
on the forehead of an Irishman, who is in the employ of
Mr. Tyrer. The pistol was charged with ball, shot, and
slugs. While this was taking place, Edward Hurst, the
servant man, who was acting in defence, was struck on
the head by one of the other robbers, who had now en-
tered, and fell to the floor, but after recovering a
