John Hull proceedingsdefend , James Hull proceedingsdefend , and Hugh Jones proceedingsdefend , were all three Indicted for stealing 17 Pieces of Broad Gold, which on the Twentieth of June last they picked out of a Gentlewoman proceedingsvictim s Pocket as she was standing in St. Georges Fields : So that the Robbery being done in another County, it could be laid as only a Felony in Middlesex . But the Circumstances as they appeared in Court were these, she finding her Money gone, went to the Thief takers, and for a promised Reward, got them to bring several Pick-pockets to see if any of them were those she suspected, amongst which the two former were brought, whom she presently remembred to have seen at the time; she lost her Gold, and charged them to have taken it, whereupon one of themconveyed 15 pieces under the Carpet, and then bid her look, perhaps it might be there, which she did and found the 15 pieces, as for the other three they desired her to be silent, and they would make her satisfaction that night. These their Confessions, and the Evidence of one of their Gang, with the corroborating Evidence of the Prosecutor, were such plain proofs that the Jury found the two former Guilty , but as for the latter he being only taken in their Company was acquitted .
