The Virginia Gazette

On Tuesday Evening a Gentleman was stopped by four Footpads near Tyburn, and robbed of upwards of twenty Guineas and his Watch.

Yesterday Morning, as he was coming to Town, at the Time the Convicts were going to be executed, and walking his Horse through the Crowd, he imagined he saw a Face in a Hackney Coach not unlike one of the Persons who stopped him the Evening before; he accordingly took two or three different Surveys, and convinced himself it was the Person. He then rode to the Circle, and brought a few of the Civil Power, who took three of them, one having made his Escape upon seeing the Constables advance. They were carried before a Magistrate, and committed for farther Examination.
