I had heard that the most likely Place to find 'em at, was a scandalous House, a Harbour for Rogues in Bird-Cage-Alley, in the Mint, 'tis the Bell and 7 Stars, or the Bell and Garter, I forgot which, but 'tis kept by - Fitzgerald, and Irishman. I took Assistance, went thither and found 'em both, the same Night.
