riXTRAORDINAR,Y and SUCCESSFUL RESIST-
/ ANCE to ROBBERS of MILNER'S " HOLDFAST"
and FIRE RESISTING SAFE.

THE STRONGEST SAFEGUARD EXTANT AGAINST
ROBBERY AND FIRE.

Early last year, Messrs. Wm. Watson and Co., (late Watson
Brothers,) applied to Thos. Milner and Son, to construct for
them one of their strong Holdfast Safes or chests, to contain
10,000 dol'ars in silver, for its safe conrewinee over the moun-
tains from the mines to Tampico. TilfGentleman writing fur
the Safe was at the time lying,c6nfined to his bed from a
bullet and two bayonet woun he had received in an attack of
the Mexican robbers on Noble convoy, in which the Safe
he then used was brok up and plundered •f a large amount
of specie. The Sat nd Wagon constructed for it were ex-
hibited at our wor s' and to several Liverpool houses, and met
with great appr6Val from several of our engineers and prac-
tical men and doubtless will be in the recollection of the
Public, and we have great pleasure in announcing that we hay*
received the following polite and unsolicited note from Mr.
Watson, who has since given us permission to publish it.
--" Derbg Buildings, 20th September. 1850.

"Mr. W.-TSON 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 and Safe, (ex Josephine,) with Sixty Bars
of Silver, was attacked by Forty-five Robbers, between Catore
and San Luis Potosi. and they worked twelve hours to open the
Chest, and did not succeed ; meantime assistance came from
San Luis Potosi.
"This is very satisfactory,
doubt, lead t° further orders.'
The whole-of the outside of this Safe was half inch wrought-
iron, proof against sledge-hammers, chisels, or any other •vio-
lence, andweli it did its duty. We have at this time a number
of large Banker's and Merchant's Safes in course of construc-
tion—one fora Diamond Merchant in London—of which we
invite the attention of the Public. Our Works 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 Safe-
makers in England together—a Lancashire Workshop well
worth looking over. Its whole operations—from the cutting
up and working of the Wrought•iton Plates and Bars, from the
thickness of a half-crown to that of its diameter, to the
building up of these superb and rnassi.;'e Safes—the filling of
their chambers with the Fire-resisting materials—the arrange.
ment of their powerful Hinges, Bolts, and il-npregnable Locks
....altogether are well worthy of the study of the Mechanic and
the Wan of science.
