Mail robbery. Mail robbed between Aylesbury and Hemel Hempstead

THE Post-Boy bringing the Mail from Ailesbury to Hemel Hempstead, containing the Bags of Letters from Ailesbury, Winslow, Tring, Wendover and Berkhampstead for London, with the Bye-Letters from Ailesbury and Tring, was stopt between the Hours of Ten and Eleven o'Clock last Night by a Man on Foot, who appeared to be lusty, between Berkhamstead and Hemel Hempstead, who seized the Bridle of his Horse, and made him dismount. The Robber then fastened the Horse to a Gate on the Road, and took the Boy into a Field at some Distance, where he tied his Hands, blindfolded him and fastened him to a Gate, and afterwards rode away with the Mail and Horse.
