The Georgetown correspondent of
the Bath Times writes that residents
at the Cove have been much shocked
within the past two weeks to hear of
the depredations of thieves and
marauders at several of the houses
whose owners had closed them for
the winter, having left town for their
winter homes. OF the above named
Instances, one break occurred at the
West cottage on Robin Hoods Cove.

cles being found in piles, as II
sorted out to be carried away, but Tor

break was discovered TO have been
perpetrated at the Morrell house, also
situated near the Cove and thus sus-
costing the possibility that these
thieving providers visit the chosen To-
caliities of their marauding in boats.
