that on parting with Sir William, Mr. Wood was
furronnded by a number•of women of the town,
at the corner of neen•tlreet, Cheapade, one of
whom attempted to rob Mr. Wood of his watch ;
that on his kizing her by the arm, with intent to
fecure her, a man named Abrahams, a Jew, at-
tempted to releafe her ; on this Mr. Wood feized
Abrahams by the collar, and conveyed him to the
watch houfe. At this watch honfe Crofts was

the Conliable of the Night, 'who rcfufed to take
charge of Abrahams, but, on the contrary, differed
him to depart, and detained Mr. Wood, without
any given charge, and wonid not differ him to
fend to his family, though repeatedly requefted fo
to do. Mr. Wood was afterwards conveyed to
the Compter, where he remained in confinement
till eight o'ciock the next morning. Mr. Wood
brought two refpedtable witneffes to prove that
he was perfally tither when on his-way home.
On the part of the defendant, Crofts, it was at-
tempted to be proved, and !wore to by four watch.
men, and Abrahams, the Jew, that Mr. 'Wood
was' fo very drunk, that he did not know what he
did; that he gave no charge of Abrahams; that
he never mentioned his name or addrefs ; and
fwore that he would go to the Compter. Unfor-
tunately, however, for there upright guardians, the
Allftant•Clerk at the 'Watch hotife, though, in
other things, agreeing with the watchmen and the
Jew, yet he let out fame truth. He fiid that Mr.
Wood repeatedly fail, " I am Matt!.ew Wof,d, of
Falcon dpiare ;" and that Crofts au fwcred, " :have
heard offuch a perfon, but whether you ar.: Matthew
Wood, of Falcon-fquare, I neither know nor care."
—On crofs.examination of this witnefs, it came
out alfo, that no charge againti Wood was entered,
till after the return of Crofts and his men from
conveying Mr. Wood to the Compter.
The Jury found Crofts guilty ; and the Com t
