Bridgman, Lord Chief-Justice—No doubt of it; and so will many a man at Newgate frame such a story as this.
Hyde, Lord Chief-Justice—You have told a long story about Wild, that you took him by the throat, and that you were alone: what weapons had you?
Turner—None, my Lord.
Bridgman, Lord Chief-Justice—Had you a lanthorn with you?
Turner—No, my Lord.
Bridgman, Lord Chief-Justice—What time of the night was it?
Turner—Twelve o'clock, my lord.
Bridgman, Lord Chief-Justice—You staid till four, so they were four hours a-bringing of the money.
Turner—Yes, my Lord.
Hyde, Lord Chief-Justice—You took a man in the dark by the throat, that man that was guilty of such a thing, as when that you did let him go to call his companions to bring the money, brings fellows to you single; I would be glad to know, whether in this case they would not have knocked you on the head, and killed you?
