Sarah Douglas proceedingsdefend was indicted for assaulting Thomas Cooper proceedingsvictim (a boy ) in the High-way, and robbing him of two Holland Half-pence, and 18 pence , October 3 .

Thomas Cooper < no role > thus depos'd. About 10 at Night the Prisoner met me near Aldgate , and thrust me up in a Corner and swore she'd cut my Throat if I did not give her all that I had about me. A Man belonging to her (as I suppose) came up to us. I was Sadly frighted, and gave her 2 Holland Doits and 18 Pence; and then seeing a Man coming along with a Lanthorn, I called out for help! The Woman was brought to the Watch-House, and the 2 Holland Pieces were found upon her, but she denied the 18 Pence.

William Bishop < no role > thus depos'd. The Boy calling the Watch, I went up to him, and found him with a Man and a Woman; he said the Man had rob'd him. I carried the Man to the Watch-House, and then the Boy told me I should have brought the Woman too, for he knew not which of 'em it was that had got his Money. Soon after he had spoken, the Prisoner came in of her own accord, and said, Are not you a wicked young Rogue, to say that I rob'd you, when you gave me these two Copper Pieces to go down an Alley with you. The Man was cleared before the Justice, and the Jury acquitted the Prisoner.
