for him in Smithfield, on which he immediately
rode off to Croydon; there he entered a chaise and
four, which was also in readiness to receive him;

embarked on board a vessel there waiting to carry
him to France. It is supposed that he was out of
the kingdom in five hours after he left the prison.
