who is now at the Bar was one of those Men, and he
believes Sanders Alexander< no role > also present, to be the other
Man-Armstrong on the Tuesday, preceding the day
whereon the barglary in Winchester Street was committed
told Informant that the Prisoners Sanders and
Abrahams (whom Armstrong called Lipe) were concerned
with him in every thing he did, and no body else
Informant saw Armstrong stand at the bakers door
the Prisoners Abrahams was standing by him, and
Sanders on the opposite side of the way-Informant
then went homeWaterson and Thompson two
Men whom Armstrong wished to see, were at Informant
house, and had got half a gallon of Beer, and he stayed
with them 'till it was almost drank out-the two Men
then began to be uneasy, saying, they had a long way
to go, and requested this Informant to go again to
Armstrong-he accordingly went thro' Floyd's Yard
by the Citemakers; into the same house where he had
before been with Armstrong-as he was going in at the
door, he saw a man in a great Coat coming towards
him-Informant went in, the other followed directs
the Caller was Armstrong-it was now near six O'Clock
Armstrong went up into his Room and took a brace
of Pistols; they were short ones; he examined them;
and one of them, he unscrewed, and perceiving they
were charged said, "they will do-Armstrong went
immediately into another Room, unlocked a Box, and
took some keys, which Informant imagines were
pick Cock keys, out of a bag within the box-Informant
has seen pick lock keys in Armstrong's hands-his
hand shook, and trembled very much, whilst examining
the pistols-he said to Informant "go carry this
great Coat home, and tell them two young men, "I shall
be with them soon" he told Lazarus, she might as
will go with Informant, as he was going home
Armstrong then went out, and Informant told
Lazarus, she might be damned, for he would go by himself
home-Hannah Sanders< no role > was then in the Room
