NOTTINGHAM', JANUARY 14.
Tr i§ an incontrovertible axiom—that, as Crroe ad-
•
stances in progress, so it does. in audacity.—Tit's was
nevtr more vtritled than in the outra;tes which have
so Ione! kept this town and neielibotele od in a state
of alarm; for, notwahstanding tne immense mon& r
of tramei wh-0 have been WeJtroyeJ, Curd they
amounted to forty-four List week, besides the burn-
ing of a hay-stack and a hovel,) an,f, conseque,l:ly,
the number of daring outrages, no circumstance dur-
ing the whole cntninotiorts has excited a greater sen-
-1 cation than one which took pl ice on Sunday evening,
at even o'clock, in Carter-gate, in this town. From
thirty to sixty men, armed with pistols, Reset every •
house and avenue near the seat of action, to prevent
an alarm, while a number uf their companions en.
tered a house, where, in about ten minutes, they de-
molished eight laceiii!ranr s, the holier of which

practice of paying his w:orknien p !rtly in rods.

As soon as an alarm could be given, the Chit and
frliiitary Anthozities were in action; but the LsJJdaf
were no mere heard of until list ever:hit, at Ne..v
Radford, where, with their usual andaely, they de-
molished three lace-rectors, which were making a
kind of net contrary to tk.ir ord.-r:, and then dispersed.
At our Quarter Ses4onc held yc, relay in our Coun-
ty Hall, eleven men were brow hr ttp I,r trial, char-
ged with collecting- ntmey to supplrt the frame-
breakets ; but, as no bilis were frond against them,
they were disch irged, with .an appropriate admnni-
(ion from the 11;:neli. But the iardifirer now obtain •
money in open defiance t f the let ; file they hawk
song-books and other tride,:, and the peopl_ who are
friendly to their • prceeedingc, knowing their obk-ct,
give what they please for their ware. Thies this busi-
ness proceeds, and *here it will end Gondol), knbws.

Saturday evening an atternt,t to ra4i, iccompanicd
with circumstances of ferocity, occur red on the Stony
road, nt ar Cant.-rbu• y :—Soon seien, 's Mr.
Sniitliett Spain, an dderly and respectable y&m:in
of Hearne, iviv on his return towards !ILI home on
horseback, he came up with two rr.en h.tbited as sr•l-
diets, neat the Grid of Meadow-pasture-lane, aG .ut
linty ra-'s from Vaitatiall turepike ; they were di-
vided e:i e acli side the mad, and ire one on his right,
without :my preriotts demand to st.m. or if sttzli was '
made it tva, unheaid by Mr: Sp %% lib ,f; somewhat
deaf, immediately on his rassing at him vvitn is
p'S.L.oli which wounded km on the right fide. The
flash and r•-port stai tled tl:e horse, and it sprang tor- •
ward and threw Mr. Spain on i:s neck, who in the
impulsa dropped his hat and whip, but the horse cnn-
ti:rued his
sited till It reached Starr}, %Oen: Mr.
Spain having borrowed a hat lie proceeded to his
home, and surgical ar:sis,:incc: btain6l, on ex-
attaining his wound It appeared that a ball had en-
terLd between the right rade and :11,r back, kW under
the shoulder-butte, and traversing the ribs etAipwly
under the zirm, had lodged in Vie right breast, where
it was perceptible, and from whence it ::as sv•on after
extracted ; and although he has since suffered mach
from theconseq tient oper ntinn of probing the wound,
in rrdtr to discover the parts of the wadding and
clothes that had been dr'.ven into it, we are h. ,ppv to
learn he is not in any itnnit dime danger. Intorma•
tion of the event sva, quick!), c.nn•uniiicated to the
difreteht barracks in the vicinity, and parties were or.
dered out to patrle, Ina as vet the off,:nders have
escaped w:thout detection. Two ttlliets had been
observed aL•out that part of the road forseve-
rd Lights preceding, and on Friday night about the
sane hour, copped two persons, tk.e one. a poor wo.
; man, from whr m they took a shilling the other a,
labouring roan, who fortuna:ely had nnthang to lose: •
A few mornings since, the house cf Mr. Thomas •
Theobald, of VViltstrop, was broken open at lalf-past.
tau o'clock, by three men aimed with p;stols, who
stole Banknotes to the amount of ,f r-5, pl ate, linen:,
wearing apparel, a cheese, and other property.
The house of a hosier, a feW doors from St. George's
market, Oxford-street, was bteet with thieves on Mon-
day night, but they were routed by a watchman,
after having got down one of the shop shutters.
Sunday evening, about half-past six n'clodc, the
Cumberland's Head public-house, in the City-road,
was robbed of a large japanned tobacco box, hull of
tobacco and half-pence, to the amenri:t an two shillings
and six-pence, which hind been dropped in by an aper-
ture at the top ; the Sunday n: wspaper was stolen
at the same time. A man was afterwards stopped
with tl:e tobacco box upon him, and on whom were
also found bank notes, bills, and stock receipts, to the
amount of £5OO.

The robbery at Mr. Cobb's pause, at Elstre.- Wag.
attended by circumstance's of some interest: He had
been with the greater part of his family on a visit to
a friend at Barham Wood, leaving one of his (laugh- .
terF, who was indisFised, at home, and a young lady
on a visit at his house, temained to keep her company.'
These two ladies retired to rest about twelve o'clock.
Some time after they were gone to bed, the young
lady %ilium distinctly heard people moving about
the In use, one of whom said " we want more light,"
but under an impression at its being some of the se)...
vants, slit paid no regard to It. The robbers lin,ited
their depredations to the lower part of the house.—
They found upon the side-board about sixty pounds
wouth of plate, which they seized. They got into the
house by taking out a pane of glass with a diamond,
and cutting out a piece of the window.shutteriwthere-
by they undid the inner fastenings.
7 e premises of Mr. Wrxran, Cook's-ground,
Cl:elsea, which are occupied by a wiiow-lady, were
robbed on Sattirday night. The elk :ryes did not get
into the house, but they robbed the larder and of&T
places immediately contiguous, together with al
fowl-roost.
