ATTEMPTED ROBBERY IN PRICES-STREET.

m Messrs. Milner and Son,
"Gentlemen,—l am glad to inform you that the -Safe I pur-
chased from you eight years ago, defeated the most violent
efforts of some thieves who obtained access to my premises last
night. They had cut a large hole in the outer plate, and tried
to force off the lock, or to force open the door, with a powerful
"jemmy" (which they left behind them,) but without success,
as we found the Cash and Books " safe" this morning. Please
send me another, the same-size, of your improved make.

"DAVID MgCLIMLAN

Price-street, Liverpo May 26th, 11331.'—
Note.—The Safe alluded to above was one oftlir weakest and
lightest make—strong plate-iron tin upon many
yearazgo.—T. M. and S.

"Sir,—My pr ses, in Oldham, were broken into on the
night of We sday last, and strong, but lam glad to say
unsuccessful efforts made to get at the cAitents of the Milner's
" Holdfast" Safe you supplied mewvith some two years ago. I
am glad to be able to bear this testimony to their value- You
are quite at liberty to make what use you think proper of this.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
"HENRY EVANS.

"Mr. Davies, Agent for Milner's Safes
" 28, Market-street. Manchester."
NOTE.—We supplied Sir. Evans with the above No. 3 Hold-
fast for Oldham, and a No. 6 Holdfast, and two Chests, for
March. in Jannary, 1848. P. R. D.
THOMAS MILNER and Sox have great:pleasure in publishing
the above so imrn-Nliately after the following :
TO BULLION DEALERS, BANKERS, AND ALL HOLDERS
OF CASH, PLATE, AND VALUABLE PROPERTY.
ExtraordiTary .and Successful Resistance to Robbers.
of
MILNERS'S "HOLDFAST" AND FIRE-RESISTING SAFE,
the Strongest Safeguard against Robbery and Fire.
Early last year, Messrs. Wm. Watson and Co., (late Watson
Brothers) applied to Thos. Milner and Son to eonstruct for them
one of their strong Holdfast Safes or Chests, to contain 10,000
dollars in silver, for its safe conveyance over the mountains
from the mines to Tempico. The gentleman writing for the
Safe was at the time lyir, confined to his bed, from a bullet
and two bayonet wounds be had received in an attack of the
Mexican robbers on a valuable convoy, in which the Safe he
then used was broken up, and plundered of a large amount of
specie. The Safe and Waggon constructed for it were exhi-
bited at our works, and to several Liverpool houses, and met
with great approval from several of our engineers and practical
men, and doubtless will be in the recollection of the public;
and we have great pleasure in announcing that we have re-
ceived the following polite and unsolicited note from Mr. Wat-
son, who has since given us permission to publish it :
" Liverpool, Derby-buildings, '2oth Sept., 1850.
" Mr. Watson presents his compliments to Mr. Milner, and
has to communicate to him the following extract of a letter,
dated the 11th ultimo, from his partner at Tampico :
` The iron waggon ana safe (ex Josephine), with sixty bars of
silver, was attacked by forty-rocbers between Catore and San
Luis Potosi, and they worked twelve hours to open the chest,
and they did not succeed; meantime assistance came from San
Luis Potosi.'
`This is very satisfactory, and does you credit, and will, no
doubt, lead to further orders.' "
The whole of the outside of this safe was half-inch wrought
iron, proof against sledge-hammers, chisels, or any other
violence, and well it did its duty.
We have at this time a number of large Banker's and Mer-
chant's Safes in course of construction—one for a Diamond
Merchant in London—to which we invite the attention of the
Public. Our Wrrks are the most extensive and complete of
their class in the world, employing more experienced workmen
(upwards of 100, assisted by the most approved and powerful
machinery), than all the Safemakers in England together—a
Lancashire Workshop well worth looking over. Its whole
operations—from the cutting up and working of the Wrought-
iron Plates and Bars, from the tickness of:half-a-crown to that
of its diameter, to the building up of these superb and massive
Safes—the filling of their chambers with the Fire-resisting
Materials—the arrangement of their powerful Hinges, Bolts,
and -impregnable Locks—altogether are well worthy the study
of the mechanic and the man of science.
The ire-resisting reputation of Milner's Safes is founded
upon experiments of scientific men, and facts; by the former
their superiority to others has been proved; and something
better than the merely negative fame of never having been
tried is elicited from the following among hundreds of in-
stances:—
Fires At Blecicaller's ship chandlery stores, Liverpool; at
Messrs. J. and W. Walker's, builders, Birkenhead; at Messrs.
Garniss and Co.'s, outfitters, Liverpool; at Plimsaul Brothers,
chandlery stores, Plymouth ; at S. and R. and Thos. Brown's,
Queen-street, Glasgow; at Ker, Doering, and Co.'s, Glasgow;
at Charles Boyd and Sops, Clyde-street, Glasgow; at Mr. Thos.
