negro fellow apparently six feet high, remarkably
lat in the face, and probably So or 81 years OF ags
who Immediately ordered Mr. L. to glye up his mn

brandishing long two-edged knife and approach
ing Mr.. L. who continued to keep his seat in the
chair. Mr. L at first told the fellow that his trunk
contained all his money, which he might take but
the fellow Immediately replied that he "licd," for
he knew ne had other money, but proceeded 10 IN
lash the trunk from the rear of the chair. While
he was busted in taking off the trunk, from the
threats he continued TO use, Mr.. l. found it prudent
10 take out bundle of notes which he had in his
pocket and hand it to him. requesting him to open
them and tell him the amount, for he intended to
publish the circumstance as soon as he reached
Norfolk, which the fellow said he was welcome to
do, and to say that his name was Pom,h While the
fellow was in the act of oyerhauing the notes, Mr.
l.. being all the time armed (of which, however,

Mr. l.. dlsmounted and gave him blow or two on
the forehead with the butt Of his pistol secured his
trunk again in the rear of his chair, repossessed
himself OF his money which Pomh had taken from
him, and drove on. At distance OF about 1.s
miles from the place, he met couple of men on
loot, to whom he communicated the circumstances

which would have been great detrment TO him.
he being anxious to get to this place.
MIR. Langly understood at house at which he
stopped the night previous to this rencontre, that
some countrymen, who were returning from mar
ket had been robbed at the same spot by three run
away negroes, which circumstance put Mr.. L. more
luiy on his guard and gave an opportunity of dis
PLAYING that presence of mind which so completely
defeated the object of the robber, and to which he
was probably indebted for the salvation Of his own
lille and property.
