Mail robbery. Post boy robbed near Casterton

THE Post-Boy who was robbed of the Mail from London, of the 21st of December, was again robbed at Eleven o'Clock on Friday Night last, near Casterton, two Miles North of Stamford, of the Mail of Thursday Night, from this Office, by the same Person, as he verily believes, who robbed him before, and who opened the following Bags, viz. Lincoln, Hull, Grantham, Newcastle, Belford, Morpeth, Alnwick, Berwick, and the Bye Bag, with the Letters from Caxton, for the North, and took something out of one of them, but he does not know which, and then put the Mail upon the Cart, not suffering the Boy to alight.

The Person is now described to be middle-aged, rather more than Five Feet high, of a pale Complexion, weak Voice, dark short brown or black Hair, rather bulky, was dressed in a blue Great Coat, with two Rows of white Buttons, had on a round bound Hat, with a black Crape round it, and dirty Leather Breeches.

Whoever shall apprehend and convict, or cause to be apprehended and convicted, the Person who committed this Robbery, will be intitled to a Reward of TWO HUNDRED POUNDS, over and above the Reward given by Act of Parliament for apprehending Highwaymen; or if any Person, whether an Accomplice in the Robbery or knowing thereof, shall make Discovery whereby the Person who committed the same may be apprehended and brought to Justice, such Discoverer will, upon Conviction of the Party, be intitled to the same Reward of Two Hundred Pounds, and will also receive His Majesty's most gracious Pardon.
