Highwayman Attacks Near Penrith and Kendal Trademan
Newcastle reports a highwayman fired a ball into Mr Wyberg's leg as he rode from Penrith toward his house. He escaped on a well mounted horse. A Kendal tradesman repelled the robber near the same area and saved about sixty guineas. West warehouses have recently faced attempted break ins by suspected accomplices. Canterbury notes John Johnson and Edward Thomas were jailed at Maidstone for deserting the ship Dreadnought and taking a boat, amid suspicions of wounding and murdering several sailors.
