told Of George White, a notorious thief
in Westchester county. He was once
arrested for horse stealing, when it was.
supposed that he "a connected with an
extensive gang, which was levying on
tributions on all the stables around about.
Many inducements were held out to
White to reveal the names of his ASSOC

silence. An assurance from the court
was at last obtained that he should be
discharged upon which he made oath to
reveal all he knew Of his a~ccomplices,
The Jury were accordingly suffered to

he was called upon for the promised rev.
