DARING BURGLARY AND A ROBBER SHOT.—
On Wednesday morning, about one o'clock, Mint-house, Chip-
stead, Suirey, occupied by two widow ladies, Mesdames Long
and Schofield, was attacked by a gang of burglars. The
ladies were alarmed by the continual barking of ' the dog, and
Captain Rankest, nephew to Mrs. Long, on being made ac-
quainted with the fact, gave it as his opinion that poachers
were about. He got out of his bed, and opening his window,
spoke to the dog, who still barked loudly. Mrs. Long then
returned to her bed, when she heard a tap at the window.
She again jumped out of bed, and looking out of the window
asked who was there. She then saw a man raise a stick and
smash several panes of glass, and the window frame ; he next'
made three desperate blows at the window; on making the
last, Mrs. Long caught hold of the stick, exclaiming " Oh,
you villain !" She wrested unsuccessfully for some time, and
then received a blow with the stick which cut her head
severely. The stake, in descending, also bruised and cut her
hand. She then, raised the cry of thieves being in the house,
when Captain Ranken, seizing his cutlass, ran into the ladies'
room ; the fellow was at the outside of the window with a
fold stake shoved into the room. 4 Captain Ranken made four
ruts at the fold-stake ; the fellow drew back, when, advanc-
ing to the window, Captain Ranken made a cut at the thief,
who, drawing back, descended toe ladder. Mrs. Long, while
Captain • Ranken guarded the breach, then fetched up his
fowling-piece from below. The Captain fired in the direc-
tion of the robbers, which repulsei them for half an hour.
They returned, and, bursting open the front door, went into
the two parlours, which they ransacked, and took awP:, „
number of articles. In about half an hour they heard
to say, " Now, let us go up stairs." They 'did say,and enter-
ing the room of the ladies, said 'to My_ Schofield, who
begged for mercy, " If you give us '6O/. we will gn, away,
othert-Vse 'we will murder you, About five minutes were
spent In imploring mercy by the ladies. Captain Ranken, in
the meantime, had taken his position on the left of the stair-
case door, where he was unperceived by the thieves. The
ladies were imploring mercy of the robbers, when presently
the ringleader said, " Now for it," and with his foot smashed
in the lower pcnels and styles, when Captain Ranken fell on
his right knee, and thrust his piece
incites of the robber's right brep
to within three
charge entered thn
• he staggered, and
and fired—the whole of the
fell ;. . rightbreast;

_ ....o the arms of two of his comrades, who immediate,-
decamped with their mortally wounded companion. Upon
descending in the morning they found a h!*.' handkerchief
in the hall, and the stairs were marked with spots of blood;
the gravel walk was in two places bloody, and the streaks of
the wounded man's legs,whcre hi:, legs had trailed along, as they
bore him away. Mr. James Sherman and Mr. Richbell had
been shooting that morning, and in an adjoining field found a
flannel jacket, which at the right breast was perforated by a
number of small shot, and bloody.
