Upon _Sheppard's_ seeing _Langley_ a Turnkey at _Newgate_, he says to
his Companion _Page_, _I see a Stag_; upon which their Courage dropt;
knowing that now their dealing way of Business was almost at an End;
however to make their Flight as secure as they could, they thought it
adviseable to take to a Foot-path, to cut off the pursuit of the
_Newgate Cavalry_; but this did not prove most successful, _Langley_
came up with _Page_ (who was hindermost) and Dismounting with Pistol in
Hand, commands _Page_ to throw up his Hands, which he trembling did,
begging for Life, desiring him to _Fisk_ him, _viz._ (search him,) which
he accordingly did, and found a broad Knife and File; having thus
disarm'd him, he takes the _Chubb_ along with him in quest of the
slippery _Ele_, _Sheppard_; who had taken Shelter in an old Stable,
belonging to a Farm-House; the pursuit was close, the House invested,
and a Girl seeing his Feet as he stood up hid, discover'd him. _Austin_
a Turnkey first attach'd his Person. _Langley_ seconded him, _Ireton_ an

for, they came with their _Lost Sheep_ to a little House on the _Common_
that sold Liquors, with this Inscription on the Sign, _I have brought
my_ Hogs _to a fair Market_; which our two unfortunate _Butchers_ under
their then unhappy Circumstances, had too sad Reason to apply to
themselves. _Sheppard_ had by this time recover'd his Surprize, grew
calm and easy, and desir'd them to give him Brandy, they did, and were
all good Friends, and Company together.

They adjourn'd with their Booty to another Place, where was waiting a
Coach and Four to Convey it to Town, with more Speed and Safety; and Mr.
_Sheppard_ arriv'd at his old Mansion, at about two in the Afternoon. At
his a-lighting, he made a sudden Spring; He declar'd his Intention was
to have slipt under the Coach, and had a Race for it; he was put into
the Condemn'd-Hold, and Chain'd down to the Floor wi
