The Keepers of _Newgate_, whom the rash World loaded with Infamy, stigmatiz'd and branded with the Title of Persons guilty of Bribery; for Connivance at his Escape, they and what Posse in their Power, either for Love or Money did Contribute their utmost to undeceive a wrong notion'd People. Their Vigilance was remarkably indefatigable, sparing neither Money nor Time, Night nor Day to bring him back to his deserv'd Justice. After many Intelligences, which they endeavour'd for, and receiv'd, they had one which prov'd very Successful. Having learnt for a certainty that their Haunts was about _Finchly Common_, and being very well assur'd of the very House where they lay; on _Thursday_ the 10th of _September_, a posse of Men, both of Spirit and Conduct, furnish'd with Arms proper for their Design, went for _Finchley_, some in a Coach and Four, and others on Horseback. They dispers'd themselves upon the _Common_ aforesaid, in order to make their View, where they had not been long e're they came in Sight of _SHEPPARD_ in Company of _WILLIAM PAGE_, habited like two _Butchers_ in new blue Frocks, with white Aprons tuck'd round their Wastes. 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 Officer help'd to Enclose, and happy was the hindermost who aided in this great Enterprise. He being shock'd with the utmost Fear, told them he submitted, and desir'd they would let him live as long as he could, which they did, and us'd him mildly; upon searching him they found a broad Knife with two of the Watches as he had taken out of Mr. _Martin's_ Shop, one under each Armpit; and now having gain'd their Point, and made themselves Masters of what they had often endeavoured 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.
