On Saturday tail the bottle of Mr. Ridley, at
Pitham, near Heckfield, was again attacked by
two robbers armed with Piftoh, who tufbed into
the houfe between twelve and 6ne o'clock in the
day; the maid ferrant feting them coming to-
wards the door attempted to Phut it, but could
not effect it in time; they then called in a man-
fervent who was working in the garden, and hav-
ing fattened the front and back doors, they pro-
ceeded to rifle the houfe, and from different bu-
reaus and drawers they took fundry articles, of
gold and !liver property, with which and fome
eatables they decamped, locking the fervants into
the houfe on their departure, and threatening them
with inttant death if they came out for fome time.
Mr. and Mrs- Ridley were from home. In the
evening between nine and ten, Mr. Parfett, of
Everfley, met with three perfons near the Che-
quers there, two of whom he conceived to anfwer
the deferiptiondic had had of the robbers ; he afk-
ed them to partake of a pot of beer at the public-
houfe, which they refuted, be therefore leaped
from his horfe and felted one of them by the col-
lar, whom after a confiderable Itruggle he fecur-
ed. Mr. Phillips, a friend of Mr. Yarfett, coming
up at that time kited another okhem, but after
a hard kale, being affilled by the third, he made
his efeape. The one fecured foon confejfed the
robbery, and impeached four accomplices in this
and other robberies; and we arc happy to hear,
that through the exertions of Mr. Parfett, and Mr.
Phillips, another of them has been tinge appre-
hended, and who is identified by the fervants to
be one of the men who robbed the fame houfe on
the; ft of May left. They are both committed by the
Rev. ECUs ST. JOHN, to the county gaol at Win.l
chefter to take their trials ; and we hope foon to
congratulate our neighbours on the capture of the
other three. One James Miles, a native of Hart.
ley Turgis, appears to have been the ringleader,
and, was waiting in an adjoining coppice, whilft
tiro others committed the fall robbery.

About ten days pafl, a poor man whole name
was Harvey, and who had formerly been game-
keeper to Mr. Caro!, of Beckenham Lodge, died
at the Crooked Billet, on Penge Common, Surry.
Some aukward circumaances being publicly men.
tinned, the Coroner was fent for torn on the body.
It appeared before the Inquell, that the deceafed
had (pent the afternoon at the Gipfey Houfe, with
a labourer, but nearly double with age, of the
name of Evans—that they had quarrelled before
they left the houfe, and %vete heard difputing on
the fame fubjea afterwards; it was acknowledged
ton, that Evans had !truck him tw• blows with a
Rick on the bead and break, and that then, about
nine o'cicck at night, Evans went home. On the
fucceeding night, at ten o'clock, a period of 25
hours, Evans exprelfed a with to fomc perfons that
they would accompany him to fetch the deceafed
from under the hedge where he had left him the
preceding evening ; they accordingly went, and
found Harvey jull alive, but he expired before
medical aid could be procured. Evans alledged,
that the deceafed was in the habit of drinking
freely and aecuftomed to lie under a hedge, as a
macros for his inhumane condua in leaving him to
perith there ; and in iefped to the blows, that he,
a decrepid old man, was too impotent to hurt him.
The Surgeon who attended, declared himfelf un.
able, from the hidden putridity of the body, to
fay whether the blows were fatal or not ; but if
Harvey bad laid hisofelf down to fleep on that
(pot, either from fatigue or liquor, and had been
unable through latEtude to rife in the morning,
the lying there fo long in the heat of the fun,
might have been the caul* of his daub. The Jury
