Tuesday se'n.night, about nine o'clock, as Mr. Nor-
rish, grocer, of Exeter, was returning from Chud-
leigh to that city, he was attacked on Halsdown by a
single highwayman, well mounted, who rode up to
him, uttering in a desperate manner, " d-n you!
stop, and deliver your money." Mr. Norrish rode
on, and struck back his whip with all the force pos-
sible in the highwayman's face, across his eyes, who
as soon as he recovered himself fired his pistol at Mr.
Norrish, which fortunately missed him. Mr. Nor-
rish rode on full speed, and the highwayman pursued
over the Down, near two miles, but could not over-
take him within pistol-shot till he gained the brow of
the hill, when he again fired, and happily missed him.
Mr. Norrish then rode furiously down the hill, and
escaped at the hazard of his life. Mr. Norrish had
about £2OO in cash with him, from the Widow's
Fund, which had been advertised in the public papers
a week or two before.

The forgery of the dividend warrant, which I-as
been brought home to dirt:limp, a clerk in the Consols
office at the Bank, who has fled from justice, was com-
mitted in July, 1809, and the discovery made with
respect to Armitage occurred in a most unexpected
way. A very few days since some forgeries of five
pound Bank notes had been detected in the Pay Office,
and were traced to a man at Lambeth, who was, in
consequence taken into custody, and brought to the
Bank. This man, to save his own neck, proposed to
the Directors, that on condition of the prosecution
against him being dropped, he would make a disco-
very of considerable importance, in which some per-
sons in their own establishment were principally
implicated. His proposition being accepted, he
then acknowledged that he himself was the person
employed by Armitage to apply at the Pay-office for
the payment of the forged warrant ; the signatures to
which were so well counterfeited that the payment
was made without hesitation. He next went in pur-
suance of his instructions, into the Bank-hail, and, in
the name of an eminent banking-house, obtained
small notes for the two 1121000 notes which he had
received in payment ; and for this agency he received
a considerable douceur. The rmarlring of the large
notes facilitated all the advantages of the fraud to the
principal, though he was never, in the most distant
degree, suspected, but remained in his employment
until the apprehension of his agent for the other for-
gery; but the moment this man was brought pri-
soner to the Bank, Armitage fled, and has not been
since discovered.
