day night and Monday morning the counting-house at
Messrs. R. and W. Johnson and Co.'s ironworks, at Brad-
ford, near Manchester, was broken into by some thieves,
who pulled down an iron safe from its resting place, charged
the lock with gunpowder, and blew open the door. They
then attempted, but failed, to open a drawer which con-
tained some money, after which they made a search in ano-
ther part of the premises, and succeeded in finding £4 or
£5, which they took away. Messrs. Johnson eemziozosa
