on 'the Surrey side of iVaterioo Bridge (as is cos-
tr,mary all night, for the purpose of receiving the
toll), when two men, with black crape over their
faces, rushed in and seized him by his arms and
legs, and held him down, while they rifled his
pockets of 11. ss. One of them stood over him,
threatening to put an end to his existence, if
he made the least noise or resistance, while the
other villain went to the drawer and took out 71.
Moorhouse heard a third person on the outside of
the toll-house during the time the two men were
plundering the inside, to whom one of them con-
veyed the property, and a watchman's rattle
which was kept in the toll-house for the purpose
of summoning the patrole in cases of emergency.
The thieves ran off after the robbery down the
steps on the left hand of the toll-bouse, and cross-
ed the stone field ; anti there being no watchman
or pat role stationed there, they escaped. The
rattle was found as soon es it was light by one of
the bridge patrule.
