and having nothing to subsist on but the blood of a
sheep, which happened to be, witbi goat, in the

On Saturday se'nnight George Jubb and WilliaM
Smith were committed to Cambridge County Gaol,

of one of the Nottingham Bank, knowing them to
be forged. It appeared that Jubb had bought p horse
at Stirbitch Fair,, from a. set vant of Mr. Pasheller,
banker, of Huntingdon; that Smith was in, com.'
pany with Jubb at the time, and that they left
Cambridge together. On a description of them
being given at the Public-Office, Bow-street, pro.,
per persons were sent to Birmingham, where., they
were apprehended, and on Saturday se'nnight

day it wa,. observed by a person who was sent to the
house, that two of the beds had been carried away,
the copper unfixed, and brought into the parlour,
and sonic carpets brought from the first floor into the
passage. Mr. Wilson being informed of these eir_
cumstances, went to Bow.street, and requested Of.
fierts might be sent, as in all peobability it was the
'intention of the robbers to return for more boot)'.
Unfortunately the Police Officers were not appriEd
of the robbery soon enough to apprehend the thieves,
or prevent the dreadful cousequences which fol.
lowei. Mrs. Wilson, through her anxiety for the
preservation of her relations' property, had asked
permission Ora person riVing opposite to the house to
remain in their drawing.room to observe Whether
any one entered the house. About seven o'clock she
observed a light in the parley, and with more cou..
rage chats prudence crossed the road, and knocked at
the door. The door was immediately opened, and a
.stout man rushed out, and tt ith a short iron crow he
.had in his hind 'severely woundest Mrs. W. in the
face. .A Gentleman passing, not' knotting of the
hurglary, but observing h • ruffian so dreadfully as.

in the house, but made his escape ; let was. closely
pursued, and ran up a stable„yard in which there
was no. thoroughfare, where pulling off his jacket

I acreming a.great aemano for new
Wheat, at our Fair on Wednesday, the supply to
the Mealman was very coruined ; prices are rather
higher than in my last, but firer the Seed season

causes the supply of that article not to ecptal the

ready purchasers, continue without alteration. The
show of fat Porkers was considerable, and were
eagerly bonght up at 44. rid. and O. per nail. A
great number of store Pigs, which were very heavy
in sale. Very few goad Horses and at high prices.
Old rough ones were numerous at a little manry.
There is little or no alteration in this night's mar..

wards being offered for the apprehension of the

large show of beasts, and a greeter number of sheep
than has been known for many years. The sale of
bullocks wasatal, and mmy were driven home un.'
sold ; sheep sold briskly, and, prime lots fetched
good prices. There-were but few horses that were
good, and the sale heavy.
