Miss Gill says that she was alone in the house when she heard a noise sad called out, "Father, is that you ?" Some one said "Yes," and caught hold of her. Before she could scream out two men caught hold of her, drew large quantities of hair over her °ape and gagged her with it and some cloth. They tied some scarves round her throat and almost strangled her, and threatened her if she did not show them where her father kept his money. Whilst she was doing so the servant came to the door twice, but as she could not make anyone hoar she went away. The miscreants then thrust Miss GUI into a cellar, from which, however, she quickly escaped by a window, and seeing the fellows walking towards Bromley, she caused s mounted messenger to go in EtTita The messenger met a constable at the int and gave particulars of the outrage, I:W.onel-the constable had seen two men answer. lug the description pass, instead of pursuing them kadbenisi it MS duty to go to Gleciframmon Park or i further particulars, n consequence of which delay the thieves were able to get clear 'way.
