Intelligence of the affair speedily reached the Colonel of the forces, and he immediately sent his soldiers to the place, but the rabbera akut the door of the shop, so the soldiers dared not effect an entrance on learning from the rascals that if they did so, thay (the rob bere) would kill all the assistants in the shop. The soldiers, therefore, surrounded the shop the whole of the night, and great portion of the following day. In the afternoon some of the shopmen called out that the robbers would not take anything away if the soldiers would retire and let the robbers get away from. This request was complied with by the soldiers, who re fired to a spot where they expected the robbers to pass, and ten of their number were arrested in this way.
