Hatton, who is here to give his evidence, took the liquor in his hand, and said it was all sludge; then he asked for change for sixpence; I took the drawer out; while I held the drawer and 3 d. in my hand, Harrington held a pistol to my head, and said he'd blow my brains out if I would not deliver all I was worth; they were all in the shop at that time; I said, children, what do you mean by coming in this manner, and ran behind a Vessel and screamed out, thieves and murder; they ran out at the door, and took the drawer away; there were in it four silver pocket pieces and a silver groat; these were pieces that were pledg'd, I don't know the value of them.
