[John Armond was found guilty of petty larceny and sentenced to transportation] William Townley: I am servant to Mr. Driver, at a nursery-garden, in Kent Road. Coming out of Gracechurch-street, on the 13th of April, in the evening, I stopped to hear people singing; this was a little after nine. I had not stopped above two minutes, before I felt a tug very hard at my left hand pocket, in which was a shirt, a neckcloth, and a handkerchief. I turned my head immediately, and saw the prisoner's hand go from my pocket, and whip it under his coat and run. I ran after him. |
