Robbery near Pancras church and Old Bailey sentences
Between five and ten blocks a man and a young woman were robbed by two footpads near Pancras church road. They seized four guineas from one man and about five shillings from the woman, striking and disfiguring a victim to silence cries. Sessions at the Old Bailey followed with several defendants transported for thefts including an anchor, a silver watch, a mug, a gown, and a tankard, while others were acquitted.
