On Tuesday evening, about eight o'clock, a daring
robbery was committed by two fellows, dressed as sailors, on the
person of Mr. Jones (a gentleman residing at Islington), on that
part of Spa-fields leading from Baker-street to Amwell-street,
Pentonville. He was first knocked down by a severe blow on the
head, which completely stunned him ; and, on recovering him-
self, he found both his hands tied together with a strong cord, and
his pockets completely ransacked of their contents, which, amongst
other articles, contained his pocket-hook and 10/. in gold. A
gentleman residing in Baker-street, passing by just afterwards,
assisted Mr. Jones to disentangle his hands from the cords,:wbich
were severely injured by the tightness of the pressure. :No traces
of the thieves have been discovered. A number of robberies of a
similar description have been committed during the winter within
a few yards of the same spot.

There appears to be a regularly organized band of
house-breakers at present committing depredations between Wa-
terloo and Blackfriars-bridges, on the Surrey side of the river.—
In addition to the burglary which was committed in the house of
Mr. Taylor, surgeon, of Stamford-street, and another in a house
in Hatfield-street, from both of which a good deal of property
was taken, several attempts have been made in other houses in
that vicinity. The thieves are most daring in their proceedings.
On Sunday week, about dusk, an inmate of one of the houses in
the Commercial-road, on proceeding to the yard, discovered a
man attempting to enter the first-floor window by means of a lad-
der. The thief made hie escape, leaving the ladder behind.—A
second attempt was made on the same house a few evenings since,
when a female, on opening the yard-door perceived another lad-
der placed against the bed-room window, and a man in the act
of entering the room. She was so terrified that she fainted, and
in the confusion the robber again made good his escape by jump-
ing over the wall.—The second ladder appeared to have been bor-
rowed for the purpose from some of the new houses at present
being built in the neighbourhood. The robbers, in all these in-
stances, appear to have acted in such a manner as evinces how
little they fear interruption from the watchmen.
