knocked him down with his stick, struck him upon the mouth with his fist, and when he lay upon his back threatned to murder him if he stirred. That then they took from him the things mentioned in the indictment and went from him; that he thereupon got up and followed, crying, Stop thief! that they did the same. But a watchman in Great Queen-Street knocked the prisoner down, and he was taken; he had dropt the wig in running, and his companion threw away the hat and got clear off. This evidence was confirmed by Thomas Neal< no role > the watchman ; and the prisoner said in his defence that he accidentally met with a young fellow who said he was locked out, and would give him a pint of beer if they could find a night-house; that as they were walking the prosecutor ran by crying Stop thief, and the watchman took him.
