, where were four men, and I had a person along with me. The two prisoners came running up, and presented a pistol to my mouth, and demanded my watch. I said I had none; they said, Blast your eyes and limbs, keep down your hat, or I'll blow your brains out. Lewis jobb'd his pistol against my teeth, and made my gums bleed, the other s tood with his pistol to my ear. They rifled my pockets, and took two gold rings, one shillings, two six-pences, one penknife, and three-pence in halfpence. I had met them the night before; the other two robbed the man that was with me; then I came home. After this I went to Mr. Pentelow, the headborough of our parish, who assisted in the taking them.

deposed, That upon the prosecutor's describing the prisoners, he knew them, having seen them before, being the person who took Lewis on my Lady Albemarle's account. (See No. 200, 201. in the last paper,) and that Lewis snapt a pistol to his breast twice; that he took Lewis in bed in Newtoner's Lane, and that he with the others with him, went and took May at infamous house, the Crown and Cannon in St. Giles's, and that in his breeches he found one of the Prosecutor's rings. It was produced in court, and swore to.

, March 21, about 7 at night, Lewis came and laid hold of my shoulder, d - n'd my eyes, and bid me deliver my watch, or he'd blow my brains out. May came up and repeated the same Words. I said pray gentlemen, use me well; they took my watch, and let me go about my business. Hambleton was with them, they had a pistol each, and made use of terrible threatening words. I stood and saw them rob Mr. Matevae who was in company with me.

Hambleton's Defence. On the 21st of March I was taken very ill with a pain in my side, I went to bed and lay there till the 22d at night; I had some parched oats put to my side: On the Friday morning the 23d, I was going to be blooded, when these people took me up and carried me to the Round-house.
