Mail robbery. Post-boy robbed between Daventry and Coventry

Whereas the Chester Mail was on Friday last set upon by a Person on Horseback between Daventry and Coventry, who unhorsed the Boy after having wounded him, and broke open the Mail and tore most of the Letters, which it is supposed was done to steal out some Letters or Writings of Consequence. The said Person had black bushy hair, and wore a grey Coat with a black Hat, and a Scymiter, and rid without Boots on a little Horse, with a white slip down the Face, and was seen to ride through Dunstable towards London, on Sunday last in the Afternoon. Whoever gives Notice of the said Person at the General Letter Office in London, so as that he be secured, shall have 20 Guinea's Reward.
