Fenew and Feloniously taken away from John Gelp the King's Post at the place aforesaid c. Richard Alborrow being asked whether he was Guilty or not Guilty said My Lord I am Guilty and I Pleaded so the last time I was here and likewise that he had nothing to say material for himself but that he hoped the King would extend his Mercy and Clemency towards him seeing he was so very Penitent for his great Crime So the Court pronounced the usual Sentence against him and he was immediately taken from the Bar. Then the King's Council Proceeded against the other two viz. Oliver Hawly and John Condon and called their Witnesses the first of which was the Post-Boy who gave in Evidence that as he was Riding along the Road near Ilford aforesaid two Men Set upon him and bid him stand and took his Male and opened it and took out all the aforesaid Gold and Rode towards London with it but he did not know who they were that Rob'd him The next Witness was an Ostler who proved that he was hired to take Horses from London to Stratford by Mr. Condon and that Alborrow Hawley and Condon and one Smith who is fled from Justice came in a Coach on the Monday Morning to Stratford and the Ostler came back in the same Coach but he could say nothing as to the matter of Fact The next Witness was the Coachman that carryed them who gave in Evidence that he took up the Four aforesaid persons at the Horsbooe Tavern in the Strand and that they bid h●m Drive them to Stratford where he lest them and brought the Ostler back The next Witness was one Mr. Jones the Inn-keeper at Stratford who proved that the Prisoners and Smith Dined at his house on Monday in the Afternoon about Three a Clock and that he Le●t them two Horses to go to my Lord Peters's near ●●●●rstone as they told him and that he had his Horses again by Eight a Clock the next Morning The next Witness was one Mr Gibson an Inn-keeper at Rumford who gave in Evidence that the aforesaid four persons Dined at his house the day before the Robery was Committed but he could not tell what time they went out of his house for that he was very busie amongst his Guests The next Witness was one Mr. Wright who gave in Eviadence that Hawley and Condon were brought in before him and that he Exhorted them to make an ingenious Confession and that he did Examine them and caused them to be searched and that Condon put his Hand in his Pocket himself vountarily and brought forth about Five and Forty Pieces of Forreign Gold and some Duccatoons which were produced in Court and that he owned it to be the same Gold that was taken out of the Male as aforesaid The Prisoners both owned the Examination that it was their own Hands that Subscribed it and it was Read in Court which was That Hawley did Confess that Alborrow and Smith did Commit the Robery aforesaid And that the Money was shared in Long-Acre at Condon's House and there they devided the Spoil c. There were some other Witnesses upon the Tryal that proved the Matter of Fact very fully upon them that they were Accessary and Abettors to the said Robery and they making but a very frivolous and weak Defence for themselves speaking nothing material to the Matter in their own Defence whereby it might be made appear to the Court that they were not concerned in the said Robery And furthermore having no Witnesses on their Sides but their own Words the Court thereupon proceeded to sum up the Evidence which was performed by Mr. Justice Wythins who informed the Jury that the Case was very plain before them and that if they believed the persons at the Bar to be the persons Access●ry to the Robery then they ought to find them Guilty and that the case being so clear he would not acquaint them what was Evidence and what was not and that he would not trouble them any further but leave it to their own Consciences and if they found it that the two Prisoners at the Bar were concerned as Accessaries to the other two then they must be hanged for it c.
