with fuch, aggravating circumflarrees, that it i
hoped the whole gan will be brought to.punifit
ingot...46one one o'clock on the Monday morn
into the inhabitants of foratfiatti were alarbted b
the cries of aiming man, whei.had.boen Tebbe
'bent two tailor from therneowthe Romford Tow
by fourfootpads, who toolrfrom him a watch an
cie,guinca and a half irrg., after which one
the mot desperate prepared to fhoot the poor fel

would Puffer the young man to proceed a
dillance, and by hitting 'his mirk, prover hind'
food: fihut. He had not proceeded many, pike
when a pelted was ddeharged, Notith fottinatety
milled him. It was then in.cnntemplation to ritife
a party of the neighbours to purfue them, 19ttt
fuppofing that after committing fools a defperate
ad they would no longer contiaue on the read; the
plan was abandoned until . about an -hour after,
when a perfon came to Stratford, and Hated, that
as be was coming •to town with a cart, be 'was
flopped by four footpads, who after taking all the
money he had, fired upon him after he had pro-
ceeded fotne dift-ance, but the fhot did not take'
effeff. It was then agreed by the four Watchmen ll
of Stratford, who were young men, to go in quell
of the footpads, and for that purpofe they armed
theinfelves wkth guns and piftols. When they bad
proceeded about -three miles on the Field• Road,
joining the Romford Turnpike Road, they heard
a noilc, which proved to come from the tour foot-
pads in the ad of robbing a man with a cart.--;
rhe Watchmen made up to them, when one of
the villains difcharged *pith)), but at tar great a
ditlance to do mifchief. One of flit 'Watchmen f
returned the fire with a gun loaded• with floc;:, ;
and lappofes he wounded tome of the gang,. from,
a try that lie was much hurt. The footpads how-
ever made the heft of their way, each-taking tlif-
ferent roads, and the Watchmen alfo kirarated
and purl ued them. The Watchman who had fired
his piece followed the footpad who had airchiti ged ;
his piftol, and overtook him after crofling a field,'
when a defmate battle enfued. The Watchman'
at length fecured the footpad, by knotiringtim
down with the butt end of 'his gun. The .reff
efcaped. The next day however the one in cutlo-
dy made a difeovery of his accomplices, who, lie
find, were Hillman, and in the habit of working
for farmers in the neighbourhOnd of Ead Ham ;
where, on the Monday, three of the fame Watch-
men took another of the gang in a field at wot k,
who defended himfelf with a (harp weapon Which
he had been ufing. Both the Prifoners are now
confined in Barking Gaol, and will undergo an
examination at Stratford on Friday next.
GENT us.—Sometimes fathions are quite reverted
in one age from chore of another, but the Patent
Stay will be worn down to the latest period, and
without any alteration, as it is impollible to make
any improvement either in advantage to die shape
or comfort of the wearer ; for notwithflanding
Stays have been worn many centuries pall, yet
the ideas of the inventors were Co contracted as ne-
ver to form the Stay to the human frame ; conte-
qttently, no pertbn whatever, in any country, has
produced the article upon the right principle, and
no!withflanding the many bate infringements upon
this valuable invention in this metropolis, and every
other principal town in this kingdom ; yet the per-
fons treljutfling upon this Patent will be found not
only deceiving the public, hut themfelves : alto,
for even were they appointed t i fell the Stay and
have them from the Patentee, they would then
be at a lots to fit the body : except judgment and
proper ideas could be conveyed, what Stay
will fit the figure i as this Stay is made upon inch
a principle to require as accurate judgment to
give e.tfe and elegance, as for an artitt to take a
carted likenefs.
