That he was proclaimed with others in Consequence of that Information in the Year 1746, he was sensible, and in Consequence of it was obliged to leave his House, and for the best Part of the Time since, he says, he has chiefly been lodged in Woods and Fields; and that in Winter Time he has many a Time drove the Cattle from where they have been laid down, and laid down in theirPlace, not daring to go Home for Fear of being taken by the Soldiers, or others. In such Distress, having a Wife and Children, whom he was not able to assist, he entered into Combination with others, in Manner as by his own Account follows.

1st, He says, that he, Thomas Fisher< no role > , John Cunningham< no role > , and James Allington< no role > , did rob one Mr. Vaughan of 30 l. Money that had been collected for the King's Tax.

2dly, He, Thomas Brooks< no role > , Francis Mayhew< no role > , Thomas Fisher< no role > , John James< no role > , and Thomas Cunningham< no role > , were the People that robb'd Mr. Josiah Stubben< no role > , as mentioned in the Proclamation.

3dly, He, John Cunningham< no role > , Francis Mayhew< no role > , Thomas Fisher< no role > , and Thomas Brooks< no role > , were the People that robb'd Mr. John Hempsted< no role > mentioned in the Proclamation, and the said Cunningham and Brooks were the People that fractured the Skull of Mr. Hempsted's Son.

4thly, He, James< no role > , John< no role > , and Thomas Cunningham< no role > , Thomas Fisher< no role > , Francis Mayhew< no role > , Thomas Fidget< no role > , Jonathan Barton< no role > , and Thomas Brooks< no role > , robb'd Mr. Fulcher. The Means of this being contrived, was; Fisher's Father was a Carpenter, and had been at Work in Mr. Fulcher's House, and having assisted in moving an Iron Chest, thought it was full of Money, and mentioned it in some Club, where the Son was present; he went and informed his Comrades; they shared 15 l. a-piece, besides the Share of some Effects, that was to come afterwards, when they were disposed of. The Man, he says, that is now in Ipswich Gaol as an Evidence, did clap a Pistol to the Head of the Maid Servant, and swore he'd blow her Brain out, if she did not let him enjoy her, which he forcibly did by that Means, in Presence of his Companions. And he further declares himself to be the Man that first hindered them from cutting Mr. Fulcher's Head off with an Axe, and afterwards cut him down, when his Companions had hung him up by the Neck.

He says further, that he had heard, and could be very certain in saying, that James Brooks< no role > , Thomas Brooks< no role > , Thomas Fidget< no role > , Francis Mayhew< no role > , T. Fisher, J. and T. Cunningham, robb'd the Reverend Mr. Hall; that James Cunningham< no role > was not there the first Time, but had Share of the Booty.

He says that he has heard, and can be very sure in asserting, that John< no role > and James Cunningham< no role > , Charles Blomfield< no role > , Jonathan Burton< no role > , and James Brooks< no role > , robb'd Madam Lemon; but who else was there he cannot tell with any Certainty.

He says he has heard, and can safely assert, that James< no role > and Thomas Cunningham< no role > , and Francis Mayhew< no role > , were the People that robb'd Mr. Ventris, as in the Proclamation.

He says that John< no role > , James< no role > , and Thomas Cunningham< no role > , T. Fisher, Francis Mayhew< no role > , and Thomas Fidget< no role > , were in a Field together belonging to Cunningham's Father, when James Cunningham< no role > or T. Fisher did say, Let us enter into Articles, to have no others than ourselves concerned for the future: And they accordingly did enter into certain Articles immediately, the Penalty of which was, to be
