what you please. They then searched his pockets, and
took out some surgical instruments, :3 pair of lancets,
some money, and keys, &c. One of them searched for his
watch, and not finding it, exclaimed, the fellow has got:
no toy; they then took his hat mid neckcloth; the man
that took his hat said, now give him a rum one. . They
then untied the rope and ran away ; the prisoner Charles
Downs held his left arm. Hawes stood at his right arm, the

keys returned, as they could be of no use to them. The

seven or eight persons concerned in it : he was well ac-
quainted with their persons previously having seen them
in the vicinity of Whiteciapal. On the following day

under any apprehension ; it was not dark when the occur-
rence took place, he could not observe the man who had
,been at his left arm; called on llawes's father some time
after and made some enquiries respecting lancets.
