Servant Maid, just come out of Place, and that she had but eighteen Pence, which she gave them; they would not believe her, but search'd her Pockets and Bundle, and one of them was for taking the Bundle away, but another of the Rogues finding no more Money than the eighteen Pence, believed her Story, and would not suffer his Companion to meddle with the Bundle, gave her the eighteen Pence again, saluted her, bid the Coachman drive on, and wish'd her a good Night.

From thence they proceeded to Burlington Gardens , and perceiving a Chair coming along, they drew their Pistols, order'd the Chairmen to put out their Candle, hold their Hats before their Faces as before, and then demanded of the Gentleman in the Chair his Money and Watch; he handed out his green Purse, with five Guineas and an Half at one End of it, and two Six-pences at the other, but said he had no Watch; upon which they began to search him, and he handed out his Watch, saying, Here, take it; 'twas a single cased Gold Watch, with an enamelled Dial-plate, a Gold Chain, and three Gold Seals. They then bid the Chairmen go on.

After this they consulted where they should proceed next, it being about three in the Morning, and it was proposed to wait for the Stage Coaches towards Hyde-Park Corner , and rob them, but at length it was resolved on to go Home, which they did all, except Russel, to their Lodgings in Allen-street , where they got about four in the Morning, and went to Bed. Russel parted with them at Hockley in the Hole , who promised to come to their Lodgings by 10 in the Morning, which he did, and was taken. There having been Information given against them as notorious Thieves, about seven in the Morning several Persons, properly arm'd, came to their Lodgings, broke open their Door, took them out of Bed, secured them, and carried them to Clerkenwell Bridewell , from whence they were committed to Newgate .

10. JAMES YOUNG< no role > , aged 27, was born at Edinburgh in Scotland , had an Education to read and write, but was bred to no Business. Before his Parents had determined in what Method to introduce him into the World, he took himself away from them, and went to Sea . This was when he was about 11 or 12 Years of Age, and he has in general followed that Way of Life ever since. Since his being discharged the Service, he kept a House whereto Seafaring Men used to resort ; so that having an Opportunity to over-hear their Talk, 'twas no very difficult Matter for him to find an Opportunity of putting in Practice his wicked Purposes to cheat and defraud the unwary.
