attempt at robbery, followed by the commission of gross violence
upon a young and delicate female, took place in the shop of Mr.
Fox, a haiNdresser, in the Strand. His daughter, who is 16 years
of age, and in rather precarious health, was sitting alone in the
parlour at the back of the shop, when she heard a noise like the
rattling of silver in the shop. She went out immediately, and
saw a man on his knees behind the counter, with both his bands

ran up to him, and seising him by his shoulders, called loudly
for hdp. The thief, seeing to whom he was opposed, endeavoured
by a jerk to loosen himself ftom her grasp, but she held him last,
and the ruffian swore &desperate oath that he would murder her if
she did not let go her hold, and at the sane moment gave bee a
heavy blow with his fist upon her face, which had nearly
her to the ground. Still, however, the courageous girl krPrie
