Middlesex to wit

The Information of John Etheridge< no role > of Hendon in the County
of Middlesex Farmer taken before me this 23rd.. day of
June 1781.

Who being on Oath says that on Tuesday night last the 19th. instant
as he was riding home from London about half past nine o'Clock,
at a Place called Golder's Green , he was pulled off his horse by a
Man in a light coloured Coat and wore his own hair, who knocked him
down with a Hedgestake and forcibly and feloniously took out of this
Informant's breeches pocket a Purse Containing eight Guineas
one of them a Light one, twenty Six Shillings in good Silver
and two bad Six pences and one bad Shilling. That after the said
Man had taken this Informant's Money (he this Informant then
lying on his side on the Ground) he beat this Informant very
unmercifully with the Hedgestake now produced, then threw the said
Hedgestake upon this Informant, and said "Da [..] ye take that
and Walk home''. Says that at the time he was pulled off his
horse he thinks he observed another Man standing at the Corner
of a Hedge at a little distance from this Informant; who seemed to
be dressed in Brown Cloaths.

Sworn before me this
23rd. day of June 1781.}
