Tues. Jan 19, 1819,   Edenton Gazette January 19, 1819
                      MAIL ROBBERY
   -- Was brought to town, last evening in irons from Lumberton, ESAU BOLAN, 
and committed to the jail of the County, on a charge of robbing the mail of 
the United States. Several halves of hundred dollar bills were found in his 
possession which with a variety of other circumstances leaves but little doubt 
of his built. BOLAN had, for a considerable time, been the mail carrier 
between this place [Fayetteville] and Lumberton, on which line the Robbery was 
committed. It is presumed he will be sent to Raleigh in order to stand trial 
at the Federal Court. --There have been several robberies of the Southern mail 
in the course of last summer, and very lately, of which it is highly probable 
that of which it is highly probable that this man and others concerned with 
him, were the perpetrators.
