On the night of the 17th of October, the house of Mr. Cotton was broken into by four men with their faces blacked, who with threats and imprecations possessed themselves of very considerable property. Three of these men were apprehended, and are now in Ipswich Gaol, to take their trial at the ensuing Assizes. The sudden and terrific appearance of these villains by the bedside of Mr. Cotton, together with the idea of appearing against them at their trial, made such a deep impression upon his mind, as to depress his spirits and impair his health (before tolerably good) that little doubt remains, but that he has been thus brought to a premature grave.
