Mr Burrows is a shareholder in a new mill recently built at Bradshaw Lane, and it had been his practice to go to the mill every Thursday, sometimes taking with him considerable sums of money, with which to pay the contractors.Shortly after six o'clock on Thursday night [30th January 1856], as he reached the junction of Illingworth Road and Bradshaw Lane, he was attacked and robbed on the highway, near Bradshaw, by three men, having their faces blackened.
One of them knocked him backward over his horse, causing him to fall head first onto the road, the other two held him by the arms and attempted to strangle him with his scarf; the other rifled his pockets, finding only a few shillings, some keys and a knife. Disappointed at finding their booty so small, they kicked him in his side.
Bleeding from his mouth, nose and ears, he called out for assistance. His assailants heard the sound of footsteps approaching and ran off.
Mr Burrows endeavoured to remount his horse, but the saddle girths had been cut and he fell to the ground. He is very badly injured, but it is hoped, not fatally
