HIGHWAY ROBBERY
As Mr Thomas Byrd of Aldington, near Evesham, was returning home from market on Monday night, two fellows rushed upon him and knocked him down in the ditch, when they rifled his pockets, taking his watch, money and umbrella, which latter was found on the following morning near the place where the ruffians effected their purpose, on the Bretforton Road.
