On Sunday evening the 24th ult. the house of Mr. R. Bond, at Frampton-upon-Severn, was broken open and robbed of 13l. in money, some articles of plate, and other property.—And yesterday se’nnight, the shop of Mrs. E. Cook, of Minchinhampton, was burglariously entered, and cash, bills, and other property, to a considerable amount, stolen thereout. From the circumstance of a great quantity of blood having been afterwards found in and about the premises, it is conjectured, that one of the robbers must have met with some dangerous accident.—See advertisements.
The counting-house of Mr. Clutterbuck, of Minchinhampton, was also, on Thursday last, broken open. Fortunately however, the villains were disappointed of their booty, as, since the preceding night, 700l. were removed to a place of safety; and they only found some penny-pieces to the value of about 15s.—We have also the satisfaction of adding, that on Saturday, Robert Daniels, charged with being concerned in the above robbery, was committed to our county gaol, by P. Sheppard, Esq.
Since our last have likewise been committed to the same prison, John Pill, for breaking open an outhouse, and stealing two geese and three fowls, the property of Mr. F. Millard, of Tetbury;—William Perry, for stealing five bushels of malt and a sack bag, from a boat lying on the Stroud Canal, at Stonehouse, and belonging to Mr. Miller;—and Thomas Brown and Charles Millard, for embezzling a pair of trowsers and a jacket, belonging to his Majesty’s stores, deposited with J. P. Dyer, Esq. Agent to the Transport Board.
