STRABANE MORNING POST:

ROBBERY On the morning of Saturday last, the Shop of MR. ARTHUR BLAIR, of this town, was broken into, by some persons, who carried off Bank Notes to a considerable amount, also some tea, soap, &c. Although a diligent search was made immediately after the robbery, no trace of the depredators could be found. A large reward has been offered for the apprehension of the robbers, which we hope, will be the means of bringing them to justice |
