DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY. —On Wednesday
se'nnight, about half-past six o'clock, as Mr. Sim-
cock, of the Branch Bank of England, was on his
ro ad to his residence at Arrow, in - Cheshire, in
co npa►.y with a young gentleman, the gig Was
stopped near Preston Brook, about a mile on this
side the village of Wbodchurch. A gang of seven or
eight men completely occupied the road, and having
stopped the vehicle, one of them seized him, and dragged
them backwards out of the gig. They then proceeded to
jalunder the purses of both Mr. Simcock and his friend,
Neither of them offered any resistance, such being
perfectly useless, nor was any further violence used
by the robber,s, who were armed with bludgeons.
They took ten sovereigns, some silver, and a ring,
and tearing off one-half of Mr. Simcock's waistcoat,
carried it off, doubtless expecting to find a watch in
it, but in this they would be disappointed, as they
took off the wrong half. The young gentleman was
less fortunate, his gold watch being carried off. The
police are diligently in pursuit of this daring gang.--- _
