HE was concerned in breaking open a Stuff Shop (he thinks) in Queen-street by Golden square, between Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, and took a large Quantity of Stuffs. There were to that Shop two Bars, with Hooks at the End of them, that fix into another Iron. They straitned they Ends of the Hooks with an Instrument made of harden'd Mettal, [some of those Instruments are 3 Foot long, and others 11 or 12 Inches long and an Inch broad, to carry in their Pockets] and with these they could take the Bars off, and take the Shutters down. They took such a large Quantity of Stuffs from thence, that they could not carry them Home, but hid them in a Dunghill in Silver-street , just by Carnaby Market , and on Sunday Night Cole, and Bess Cane< no role > , and some other Women, fetched them away in a Basket.

HE and Jack Exelby< no role > broke open a Linnen Draper's Shop near the Windmill in Silver-Street, about 12 o'Clock at Night, and took a great Quantity of Printed Linnens, Scotch and other Handkerchiefs, by pushing back the Shutters and breaking the Glass. This was owing to the Groove not being rightly fixed, for they drew away a Piece of Wood which was fixed at the End of the Groove.

THEY commonly take a View of the Place in the Day Time, that they intend to rob at Night. Sometimes a Boy will hollow out to them from under the Counter; but that does not make them withdraw, unless they have got a great deal to do, or unless any body gets up, and then sometimes to prevent the Door being opened, they tie a Rope to the Knocker, and fasten it to a Post, or any Thing they can fix it to; and sometimes he has had Things drawn out of his Hands, as he has been trying to get them out of the Window.

THE next Shop they broke open, was a Slop-Shop, a little below Turn Stile, in Holborn , and took the Shutters down, although there was a Watchman over-against the Door, who lay with his Elbow upon the Bulk, smoaking his Pipe (he could not say the Watchman saw them at Work) they saw him all the Time they were doing this; and as they were returning for more Things, after they had carried some Home, the People had discovered it, and were endeavouring to put up the Shutters, so they were prevented from doing any Thing farther; Cole went to the Watchman, pulled hold of his Coat, and said, What are you asleep, there's a House broke open over the Way, then the Watchman rose up out of his Sleep, but whether he went over the Way, he could not tell, for Cole went forward; but he observed, that in a Day or two afterwards the People were run away; they sold these Goods to Bess Cane< no role > for five Guineas.

HE and Jack Exelby< no role > broke open a Silver-Smith's Shop in Barbican , and took several Corrals and Snuff Boxes, a half Pint Mug, a Silver Waiter, some Coat Buttons, and other Things.

HE and two more of his Companions broke open a Silver Smith's Shop near Red-Lion-Square, and took several Things of Value, which they sold to Bess Cane< no role > . She bought them at a very low Rate, for she always kept Liquor by her, that they were commonly drunk when they sold them, and hardly knew what they did.

THEY broke open a Stocking Shop in Brick-Lane in Spittlefields , by drawing the Shutter back, and took out a great Quantity of Stockings, which were rough as they came out of the Lomb. These they carried to Bess Cane's at two different Times.

THEY attempted to break open a Linnen-Draper's Shop in the Borough ; but the People called out and disturb'd them, before they could complete their Work.

HE and his Companions broke open a Linnen Draper's Shop facing Five-foot Lane , by taking down a Shutter, and took out a great Quantity of Goods out of the Window with their Hands, they lay so near them, and sold them to Bess Cane< no role > ; he said they were more plagued with these Things, than ever they were with any in their Lives; for they went to a Womans House, who keeps a * Case at Rotherhith just by the Waterside, and when they came out of her House, they mistook their Way, and went to Deptford instead of coming to London.

THEY broke open a Linnen Draper's and Stocking Shop against Dock-Head, and took a Quantity of Linnen and embossed Petticoats.

HE and Exelby broke open a Linnen Draper's Shop at the Golden Key near Princes Stairs in Rotherhith , and took a Parcel of Tureey Cottons, Manchester Cottons and Handkerchiefs.

* A common Brothell, or Bawdy House.
