ers is offered and we learn that the posse
conatatis of Middlesex are in pursuit of
them. All the rufhans were well armed with
long knives two OF them were tall, AID two
short and one Of the latter wore short
jacket and irowscrs. Mr.. D. Gould and his
sister we're both wounded with the knives.
The faces OF three of the robbers were
BACKED, but their hands were seen to be
white. This murder ar! robbery is almost
unprecedented in our country, and we doubt
not, from the exertious made TO detect the
mu derers, that they will be speedily APP
pretended.
