There is another famous bailiff on record, named Jacob Broad; and of him it is narrated that, ‘being employed to arrest a Justice of the Peace living near _Uxbridge_, he went down there very often, and had us’d several Stratagems to take him, but, his Worship being very cautious in conversing with any of _Jacob’s_ Fraternity, his Contrivances to nap him prov’d always abortive. However, a great deal of Money was proffer’d by the Creditor to take the worshipful Debtor; so one Day _Jacob_, with a couple of his Followers, took a Journey in the Country, and, being near the end of their Journey, _Jacob_ alights, and flings his Bridle, Saddle, and Boots into a Thick Hedge, and then puts a Fetlock[45] on his Horse. The Followers tramp’d it a-foot, to one of whom giving the Horse, he leads it to a Smith at _Uxbridge_, and, telling him he had lost the Key of the Fetlock, he desir’d him to unlock it, whilst he went to a neighbouring Alehouse, where he would give him a Pot or two of Drink for his Pains. Accordingly the Smith unlockt it, and carried the Horse to the Alehouse; and, after he had drank Part of half-a-dozen of Drink, return’d to his Work again. Shortly after, came the other Follower to the Smith, inquiring if he did not see such a Horse come by that way, describing at the same time the Colour and Marks of it, and how his Master had lost him out of his Grounds that Morning. The Smith reply’d, that such a Horse was brought to him but a little before, to have a Fetlock taken off, and that he did imagine the Fellow to be a Rogue that had him; but, however, he believ’d he was still at such an Alehouse hard by, and might be there apprehended. Hereupon the Smith and Follower went to the Alehouse, where they found the Horse standing at the Door, and the other Follower in the House, whom they call’d a thousand Rogues, and charg’d with a Constable for a Thief. In the meantime, came _Jacob Broad_, who own’d the Horse to be his, and the Town-People, being all in a hurly-burly, they carried him before the Justice whom _Jacob_ wanted; but no sooner were _Jacob_, the supposed Thief, and the other Follower entered the House, but charging the Constable to keep the Peace, they arrested his Worship, and brought him forthwith to _London_, where he was forc’d to pay the Debt of two hundred and thirty-four Pounds before he could reach home again.’ Another story is related of Jacob Broad.
