Last Friday a pretended Press Gang took a Countryman near Broad St. Giles's, who were compos'd of Money-Droppers; they told the Fellow if he had any Money to give the Lieutenant he should be discharged, on which they got from him two Guineas, and a Pair of new Buckskin Breeches, and was set at Liberty: Soon after he met a real Press Gang, who told him that he must go along with them, on which he related the above Treatment, and went with them to a Publick-House in Vine-Street, St. Giles's, where they found the Cheats, six in Number, who were impress'd, and forced to return the Countryman his Money and Breeches.
