They demanded the name of this hero, "My name it is Johnson," said he, When the captain laid hold of his shoulder, Saying, "Nevison thou goeth with me." Oh! then in this very same speech, They hastened him fast away; To a place call'd Swinnington bridge, A place where he used to stay. They call'd for a quart of good liquor, It was the sign of the Black Horse, Where there was all sorts of attendance, But for Nevison it was the worst. He call'd for a pen, ink, and paper, And these were the words that he said, "I will write for some boots, shoes, and stockings, For of them I have very great need." 'Tis now before my lord judge, Oh! guilty or not do you plead; He smiled into the judge and jury, And these were the words that he said, "I've now robb'd a gentleman of two pence, I've neither done murder nor kill'd, But guilty I've been all my life time, So gentlemen do as you will. "Its when that I rode on the highway I've always had money in great store; And whatever I took from the rich I freely gave it to the poor. "But my peace I have made with my Maker, And with you I'm quite ready to go; So here's adieu! to this world and its vanities, For I'm ready to suffer the law."

Roseberry, or Rosebury Topping, originally, it is said, called "Ottenberg," is a conical hill, situated at the north-west angle of the Eastern moorlands known as the Cleveland hills, near the village of Newton, about one mile to the east of the road from Guisbro' to Stokesley. It is about 1488 feet above the level of the sea, and, by its detatched position and superior elevation, it commands in all directions a prospect at once extensive and interesting, and serves as a land-mark to navigators.
