ARREST OF A HORSE DEALER FOR A HIGHWAY
ROBBERY COMMITTED 16 YEARS AGO.—Mr. John Brit-
ton, the Leicestershire horse dealer, after realising a com-
petency, and establishing himself in the world with every
appearance of solidity, has been committed for trial on
a charge of highway robbery, perpetrated in Somerset-
shire sixteen years ago! At that moment the county of
Somerset was infested by a gang of highwaymen, led by
John Britton, alias " Gipsy Jack," and a man named
John Burton. On the occasion of Priddy fair, the at-
tacked and robbed several persons on the high road, and
all but murdered two men named Hedge and Bartlett.
Burton was taken, tried, convicted, and in August, 1827,
executed at Taunton. Britton escaped and it was sup-
posed that he had left the country or committed suicide.
But, about a month ago, a policeman saw Britton, the
Leicestershire horse dealer, in Smithfield market, and felt
persuaded that he was the Somersetshire highwayman.
On inquiry be found that he was living at East Langton,
and dealt largely in horses. He hesitated to arrest him,
not knowing but that he might have been tried for his an-
cient offence, and punished according to law. The police-
man therefore made the matter known to his inspector,
who instituted inquiries, and then had him apprehended
at Waltham fair. He most positively denied that he was
the man, asserted that Britton the highwayman had been
executed, and stated that he was living in good credit at
East Langton, with his wife. His protestations, however,
availed him nothing; he was taken into Somersetshire,
fully identified, and committed for trial. Fourteen years
ago. says the Leicester Chronicle, he married Miss Mar-
tha Wo• dford, of the Coach and Horses Inn, Kibworth
Harcourt; and, eight years afterwards, another wife came
to East Langton, from Bristol, to prosecute him for
bigamy ; but she, having (it is supposed) been bought off,
suddenly disappeared from the village. He resided on
his own property, and kept several servants, but was not
.
so happy as to enjoy the esteem of his neighbours : they
ill not be sorry,"
says the, Chronicle, " if he should
never return to Langton."
