WATSON, TO ONE OP HIS INTIMATE FRIENDS, ANN MIATELT SEQUENT TOIIIseOIIMITfAL ON TUE A AGE. a Cold Bash Fields Prison, Saturday - , Jan. 4, Is 7. 66 MY DEAR FitIE.D—I proc.N.l to comply with your desire, of obtaining from me the particui Ars of the transaction which involved me in my present si• tuation. I thank you fur your anxiety on my behalf. I feel little on my own account, but rtric:i more than can express on ace , sunt of my dear family. I trust the Public will con.ider their situation not brought on through want of sufficient care, industry, and eco nomy, on my own part or theirs, but entirely through the pressure of the times blighting the happiness of the whole nation: You will excuse any little in.iccu racies: the interruptions of this place are not calcu lated to leave me in possession of a mind tranquil enough to give descriptions satisfactory to a critic. I know, indeed, you, my friend, want only a plain tale, honestly told. 4 , At the conclusion of the fatal 21 of llnember, which appears to have been reserved to consummate all my calamities, and extinguish even the last lin gerings of hope, after having ineffntu illy endea voured to ascertain the correctness of the reports re specting my son's being taken prisoner to the House of Correction, his leading the populace, hi. crying to the people to follow to vie Mansion House and Tower, wflich I heard repeatedly stated while stand ing before the gates in Cold Bath Fields, during the space of five or ten minutes—l followed precipitately with two gentlemen to Smithfield. where we over -1 took the rear of the multitude, which then extended equally towards Little Britain and towards St. Se pulchre's Church. [ instantly decided to go enough Cloth Fair to Wood-street and Cheapside, that I might, if possible, arrest his progress ; but when I arrived there through Honey-lane Market, neither seeing nar hearing of him or the populace, we walked deliberately forward to the Mansion House, in the company wf a youth who had strewn us the nearest road. Here bne or 1 4 11/0 persons came running up to no, crying out, 44 To the Tower! to the Tower, Gentlemen!' Thither accnr- dingly we ran ; but when arrived there, seeing no thing more timid common, we went into a house for refieshment. " Being thus foiled in my endeavour to meet my son wherever I sought him, and hearing varions.nn• happy reports, one of the Gentlemen who had been with me in Spafields, and throughout our walk to the Tower,-earnestly advised me, talking all the circum stances of the case into consideration, not to remain in town another night. I was the more easily per suaded to accede to their opinion, as in fact I had determined a week before to go into the country to a friend, from whom I expected to borrow a sum of money to recommence my professional pursuits. as I had hired a house, reasonably rented, for seven years.' I delayed this intended journey from a desire to at tend the last Spafields Meeting, having been so re quested by sever4l friends, and from a desire to counteract a proposition made by an individual. which I was afraid would create confusion at the Meeting. The particulars of this shall hereafter be stated to the Public... " I knew I had to contend with an impetuosity rwhich .excited considerable alarm• in my Wltblat I was speaking in2the Yields, being repro , tedly pulled by the coat, I at length gave over, and instantly my son jumped up in my place. My aro , trisbnieut cannot be described, as I had the evening before got a promise from him not to attend• there. Thl consequences that ensued are too well known. These, with what I heard by report, induced me to follow the advice of my ewe newly-formed friends. ° After tilting some refreshment in Fleet Market, we set oft about nine o'clock for Northampton, designing myself to branch off to a friend, who, I had every reason to believe willing to afford my son protection; and having previously to my leaving town, given di. rections for' his future safety, provided he could have gone where L expected be would. When we bad proceeded as far as Highgate, I proposed we should sleep there during the ought ) but was overruled, as We should be likely, by goog on o to overtake the coaches, and get forward to Barnet. Just through the bar. we were talking of the occurrences of the day. when 'horseman passed us. looking steadily towards as. " The suspicion immediately arose in my mind that he was a highwayman. I eommanicated it to my companions. They at first ridiculed the idea, but perceiving him returning in a crouching and con cealed manner to pounce opal us, one of them ob served; Good God, be surely is a higbwaysisan.' I was outermost, neat to the supposed bighwayrnao, with a bundle in my left hand, a dirk-stick in the other, and a pistol in my breast pocket, as when I travel I nsnalli tarry arms; the pistol was placed carelessly in my . pocket, the butt-end partly out, to chew any who might be inclined to molest me, that was well prepared. Immediately after my corn panioo's observation, the man seined me by the col lar, and demanded to know where I was going ? and , instantly reaching towards my bundle, took hold of be inquiring that I had got there L I frankly an- Swered, clothes. He polled them towards him, pre senting at the same time a pistol to me. Haying 'dose this, he placed the bundle upon his saddle, seized my pistol, which was in my breast pocket and very visible. At this moment I beard a rustling behind me. My companions seeing me rubbed, and two other men mine suddenly up, apparently comrades' of the *opposed highwayman, precipitately fled.— For my own part, the shortness of the time and the Confusion, hardly enabled' me to recover from my surprise at being stripped of my property, and held, by two seeming footpads . Whilst reflecting what would be my probable fate in the hands of the ruf fians that held me, I was alarmed by the discharge of a pistol, some distance ac-head, followed by a loud and deathlike shriek. Confounded as I was before, it appeared to nit now that my very life and the lives of my friends were in imminent danger, and that the pistol just fired must • have been discharged at one 01 my companions. Having a dirk stick in my hand, I decided instantly to risk myself, and fly to prevent the murder of my friends. I drew the dirk,' and told the two men to let is go, that I could do 41t1sy them both s but being dark, they could not see ebeir danger. Had I chosen, I could absolutely have ran *era both through, lving the free Use of my stills . T h oped, however, h i tem molest meat; to get rid of the *lett, feeling convinced I ought to prevent, if possible, murder. Reason and jiaiict forbad me rettiaining any longer a passlie spectate*• of robbery and vielente I and I was well aware, that the laws of nature and of My country required me to assist in sunpressing crime. The supposed high wayman quickly returned, dinnolinted, and theci being sou-minded by several people, I mat: dragged, after a scuffle with the two Men, in which I bad ' fallen, and was covered with mud, into a house ; when there I perceived the men who held Me were inturicated, one of them to very much, that whilst I was pressed down, he stood brandishing over me at drawn dirk, which I expeeeed. es•el moment, he would plunge into my body. " A person present testra:ned hith, and . catitionc3 him to be careful riot to strike me, as I conic! looser do him no further i , j , try: I was afterOyardi hand cuffed and walked dawn to the watels=tiaice, 3 inters Town, was put into a cell; an I taken to II , w-street the next day, about twelve o'clock, troM core, in the evening, to the Secretary of S:tte'., ()lice. and afterwards was committed to this place: wivee I lay one month without farther etamination,on the charge of shooting at Charles Miel. The charge Wai with drawn and another preferred against nie for c:e:ing two persons named Rhodes and Golding. '4 If I should be found guilty tar this traheictioii, no man can it nature be secure of lift -or property. A gang of nulling may at all times stop any rnAn; rob him, and it he makes resistance and they should find themselves in clanger of detection, they "ray then charge him under the Cutting and Maiming Act.' with a malicious latent to murder them. Thus will a clAose of the Bill of Rights be rendered circa pletely nugatory, that one which allows every Eng. lishmin who is a Protestant, the right to carry arms, because, under this • Cu:ting and Maiming Act,' it will renter it dangerous for any Englishman to de. fend himself it attacked and robbed, lest should! tried for his life. Thus, my dear friend, ydu see the pernicious effect which supercedes the wisdom cf our forefathers and puts in jeopardy the lives of the most worthy characters in the kingdom on the groundless suspicions of ignorance and brutality.—l am, my dear Friend, your well-wisher.
