[329] It should seem that, at this time, a journey offifty miles through the wealthiest and most populous shires of Englandwas as dangerous as a pilgrimage across the deserts of Arabia. TheOxford stage coach was pillaged in broad day after a bloody fight. [330]A waggon laden with fifteen thousand pounds of public money was stoppedand ransacked. As this operation took some time, all the travellers whocame to the spot while the thieves were busy were seized and guarded. When the booty had been se...cured the prisoners were suffered to departon foot; but their horses, sixteen or eighteen in number, were shot orhamstringed, to prevent pursuit. [331] The Portsmouth mail was robbedtwice in one week by men well armed and mounted. [332] Some jovial Essexsquires, while riding after a hare, were themselves chased and run downby nine hunters of a different sort, and were heartily glad to findthemselves at home again, though with empty pockets. [333] The friends of the government asserted that the marauders were allJacobites; and indeed there were some appearances which gave colour tothe assertion.
