Highway robbery

by

The steamer Druid was last evening towed round into the cove at Dartmouth to be fitted up into a gunboat for the protection of the fisheries.

The provincial government has offered a reward of $100 for the capture of four deserters from the 16th Regiment, who recently committed a highway robbery at Porter’s Lake, near Dartmouth.
