DARING ROBBERY NEAR CHARLEMONT. night of Friday, the 27th ult., the boiling-house of Mr. ROBERT CORRIGAN, of Moss-Spring, near Charlemont, one of the most extensive linen manufactories in this county, was forcibly broken into, and upwards of 120 spangles of yarn stolen. Part of the yarn was in the boiler, and the rest had been only wrung out the preceding evening. The robbers forced the lock with a crow-bar, and after having effected their entrance, made an ineffectual attempt on the office, which is under the same roof with Mr. CORRIGAN¹S house, and adjoining his bed-room, and where there were 600 double webs at the time. This robbery is only one of a series perpetrated on the manufacturers of that neighbourhood, Mr. CORRIGAN¹s son, (Mr. S. CORRIGAN, of Copney [Co Tyrone]) and Mr. R. ROLSTON, of Aghanlig [Co Armagh], having both been robbed of linen yarn during the last 18 months.
