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, cud
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
petsuaded that he was the Somersetahire highwayman.
On inquiry he found that he was living at East Langton,
and dealt largely in horses. He hesitated to arrest him,
not knowing but that he v:ight have been tried for his an-
cient offence, and punished according to law. The police-
man therefore trade tie 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 w•as living in good credit at
Ea!! Langton, with his wife. His protestations, however,

le was taken into Sornersetshire,
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

in rot

to East Langton, from Bristol, to prosecute bins for
bigamy ; but she, having (it is supposed) been bought off,
suddenly discl•peared from the village. He resided on
his own property, and kept several servants, but was not
so happy as to enjoy

e esteem of his noighbours: they
I will not be sorry,'; says the Chronicle, " if he should
never return to Langton."
