two hours after the thieves had passed

citizens Of this place, who succeeded in
Overtaking the thieves at the house ofa
Mr.. Freeman, where they had stopped
for the night. They had put the horses
in the stable and were standing in the
field near the baIn, when the pursuerS

however, soon succeeded in OVerhauling
