Mail robbery. Post boy robbed between Langford and Stapleford

A Mail Robbery.

NOTICE is hereby given, that last Night, about Eleven o'Clock, the Boy, carrying the Cross-Country Mail from BRISTOL to PORTSMOUTH, was attacked between Langford and Stapleford, by a short thick Man, on a black Horse, dressed in a Smock Frock. who tied the Boy's Hands and Legs, and afterwards ROBBED THE MAIL, by breaking open many of the Bags, and taking out various Bills contained in the Letters; and who also took away the MAIL HORSE, which was a Dun-Coloured GELDING, about fourteen Hands high, with his Knees broken.

Ample Rewards are at all Times given by his Majesty's Post-Master General, for apprenhending and convicting Persons guilty of such Offences.

N. B. From the general Appearance, Expressions, and Conduct of the Man, he is apparently the same as robbed the Mail in June last, but a few Miles distant from the same Place.
