A Christial Snuff-box 3 l. a Sword 3 l. and 42 l. in Money; James Carrick< no role > stopping his Chair; and puting a Pistol into it, while Molony repeated Carricks demand, Your Money, Sir, do you triffle?

The Account that he gave me of himself, was that he was born in Dublin in Ireland was sent to Sea when Young, with the Queen's Letter; served in Spain, and was upon the Coasts of Sicily and about Messina when the War lay there; but their Ship being lost, he was call'd to Account with the other Sailers concerning the Ship. After this, being on board a Privateer, they had success in taking the Pirates, and acquired several Sums of Money, which had he been soberly inclined, he said, would have put him in a prosperous way.

He said also, that being order'd into England the Wages he receiv'd from the Ship, were insufficient to maintain him, so that having recourse to the Gaming-Houses, &c. he there became acquainted with several of his Countrymen, but denyed that he knew James Carrick< no role > above three Days before the Robbery, but as they danced and fenced together, at the House where they found one another, it was no wonder they soon became acquainted. He asserted that he was at some distance before Carrick and Carrol, when they committed the Robbery. He said that he was earnest in his Duty of Repentance, according to his Notions and Sentiments of Religion.

5. JAMES CARRICK< no role > , was also found Guilty of Assaulting William Young< no role > , Esq ; on the Highway, and taking from him a Gold repeating Watch, a Christial Snuff-box, a silver hilted Sword, &c.

This Prisoner was about 27 Years of Age, born in Dublin in Ireland , where his Father being a Gentleman, as having left off his Business, and being desirous of having his Sons the same, obtain'd for one a Commissioners Post, for a Another a Cornet of the Horse, and made this James an Ensign in which Capacity he serv'd his King, leaving Ireland when he was Young. He said he was a while in Spain , where with other Officers he indulg'd himself in various Extravagances which the Climate prompted him to; the Female Sex having a sort of Regard to him, on Account of the Briskness and Gaiety of his Temper. He added, that having gratifyed his Inclinations so far in Spain, he naturally followed the same Excesses in England, frequenting the Company of every leud Woman, whom he either liked, or could acquire any thing by.

He also said, That being reduced, notwithstanding the Assistance afforded him by certain Ladies of Pleasure, he became acquainted with Smith, his Country Man, and they engaged to venture to take a Purse on the High-way, Robbing afterwards with Butler, since executed, and Butler being apprehended, and informing against him, he with some Difficulty then escap'd, being made an Evidence against Butler, who intended to be Evidence against him. He said that his Friends being made acquainted with this, entreated him to return Home, and his Brother promis'd to meet him, and conduct him to Dublin, and there obtain a Place that would soberly maintain him; but having tasted of the Gaities of a different Life, he car'd not to be under the View and Restraints of Friends, so pursued his former Courses, on Bagshot-Heath ,
