He was afterwards conveyed to a hospital.
A correspondent, under the head of ‘"Outrageous,"’ asks ‘"where are the night watch?"’ and adds; "On the night of the 12th instant, about 8 or 9 o'clock, three scoundrels, in uniform, hired a hack to take them to the
Manchester hospital, and when crossing the covered bridge over the dock, ordered the driver, a negro, to get down and open the door, as one wished to get out a moment; which he unsuspectingly did, and the three miscreants robbed him of $4 or $5 and his watch, and drove him away from his horses, while they absconded.
