Bank, and the othsr.to Mr.. William Haw-
kins, have been apPrehended and secured
for robbing The bank on the 29th alt. The
manner of heir deteeaon was somewhat
singular. Tney endeavored to prevail on
a person in the employ OF Mr.. Hawkins to

had stolen, and promised him handsome
reward for his srouhle.s / his circumstance
was communicated TO Mr.. II. who imme-

Their plan seems to have been otherwise
well CONCERTED, as they had purchased a
variety OF cleathing, &c. with the intention
of going 10 sea. We have nor been abls
10 ascertain The amount Of finished notes
stolen, but understand il does not exceed
300 dolls. Notes in the sheet were found
TO a considerable amount.
