Alarming Robberies
A short time since, a traveller was robbed of nearly one hundred pounds in guineas and notes, in a road called the Dark-lane close to the town of Ormskirk, at nine o'clock in the evening.
Also a few days since in the same town the premises of Mr R HART cotton manufacturer, were broken into and property to a considerable amount stolen.
And in the night between the 2nd and 3rd instant, some villain or villains broke open the shop of Miss Helen FORSHAW grocer in Burscough street Ormskirk but the extent of their depredations on her property is not known, as she was found in the morning on her bedroom floor in a senseless state, tied to the bedpost with her mouth stopped. Hopes are entertained of her recovery, but she has not yet been able to give any account of this dreadful affair-she is delirious and occasionally asks "if those black men have gone" There are however a quantity of Bank of England notes in the house, which the robbers did not find-she has since in a great measure recovered. The notes above mentioned which were probably the chief object of the plundering, had been removed the day before
A case of Hydrophobia
On the 17th ult, died of the Hydrophobia, Henry RIX a youth, son of G RIX, a waterman of Southsea. He was bitten in the cheek and over the eye by a mad dog on the 25th March last. He continued very well until Friday morning the 13th inst, when he complained of being indisposed. His friends gave him a cordial, with the hope of relieving his pain, but he grew worse and complained of great thirst. It was with difficulty he was prevailed on to take medicine. He complained exceedingly of violent pains in his chest and throat: and on seeing water that was brought into the room, his agony greatly increased. he foamed at the mouth sufficiently to wet many cloths and would frequently exclaim "O Father is that from the dog?" He retained his senses until within a few hours of his death, when the effects of this disorder were extremely violent but the paroxysms abated about an hour before he expired.
