[Constantine Macguire was found not guilty of assault and robbery on 5 December 1744] Q. When did you take him up? [Robert] Clinton. He robbed me the 23d, and he was taken the 26th at night, in Parker's lane by Drury lane. Prisoner. I went to drink with him, and he got a Constable, and took me. […] Q. What was the reason you could not apprehend him in Parker's lane? Clinton. I would not pretend to do it there, I should have been afraid of my life, there are such a pack of villains there; and at the Golden Hart in Parker's lane, there was such a crew singing and making a noise, that I was afraid to stay there. |
