Saturday, Nov. 22.
London.
Wednesday morning about four o'clock, a fellow was discovered coming out of Lord Grantham's house, at Whitehall, going towards the water side; a waterman interrogated him what he had been doing there; the other having his party in view, threatened him with instant death if he obstructed him; he accordingly went to a boat, which instantly rowed off. A few hours after the family was in confusion; all the jewels, gold medals, rings, &c. as well as the wardrobe of his Lordship and Lady Grantham were missing: happily the thieves missed the plate, (or the loss must have been still more considerable) as it was all packed up in a private place ever since Saturday evening, when there was a feast, on the christening of his Lordship's third son.
