Robbery of Western and Portsmouth Mail near Bagot
The Post-Boy bearing Western and Portsmouth Mails from Bagot to London was attacked by two highwaymen early this morning. They disarmed and bound him, seized the horse and mails, and rode off. The Post-Master General offers a £200 reward for each robber and anyone aiding discovery or apprehension, with a royal pardon for accomplices on disclosure. Authorities invite public assistance and promise pardons on safe evidence and surrender.
