a pistol to us, and demanded our money or our lives; I said not a word; the other man took the watch out of my pocket, and then the prisoner said, your life or your money! then I swore an oath, seized the prisoner, and threw him down, and swore he should have my life before he should have my money; he got up and I threw him down again; he got up I believe again, and I threw him down, and kept him in custody till I got assistance; I don't know what passed between the young woman, and the other man. I took Lovell to Battle-bridge, and enquired for a constable; going along he tried to get away, but I said he should not get away from me; when I collared him, he gave his hand a twist, and threw the pistol over the rails into the grass; we looked for it that night, but could not find it.</p>
