Highwaymen of England A Lifesaving Thief and a Noble Beatdown
A Youth's Companion excerpt recalls eighteenth century highwaymen terrorizing English roads near London. One robber named Boulter, hanged in 1778, supposedly returned 30 guineas to a distressed woman to pay a debt after learning of her creditor and bailiff, then reclaimed the money when the debtor appeared. In a different encounter, Lord QC calmly handed over three guineas to a pistol brandishing robber, remarks on the nobleman’s composure and moral stance.
