Presence of Mind in Highwayman Encounters
In Ralph Nevill's Sporting Days and Sporting Ways two early 19th century highwayman incidents are recounted. A 1819 August episode sees Lady Stanley traveling with a maid, a bottle of ginger beer pops its cork and the highwayman flees in alarm. In Berkeley’s case a coach pauses at Hounslow and a highwayman is shot dead after the robber glances over Solr shoulder and Lord Berkeley fires.
