more to your generosity, lest you should mistake again."

The gentleman was obliged to comply, and Simpson carried off the
breeches with him to his inn, and on searching them found a gold
watch, a gold snuff-box, and a purse containing ninety-eight guineas
and five gold jacobuses.

On another occasion he robbed Lord Delamere in an ingenious fashion.
That nobleman was driving over Dumoor Heath in his coach well attended
by armed servants. Simpson rode up to the carriage and told his lordship
that he had been waylaid and robbed by some rogues, two in number, at a
little distance. Lord Delamere at once despatched his armed and mounted
escort in pursuit, and Simpson took the opportunity of their absence to
rob the nobleman of forty pounds. After that experience Lord Delamere
vowed he would never again show kindness to a stranger.

At last Simpson was taken near Acton by means of two captains of the
Foot Guards, where he attempted to rob both together. There ensued an
obstinate fight between them, and Simpson behaved with so much bravery
that in all probability he would have escaped, had not one of the
officers shot the horse on which he rode, which, falling, carried
Jonathan down with it. He had already been wounded in his arms and one
of his legs, but both his opponents were also wounded and bleeding.
Whilst on the ground he continued to resist with desperation whilst
extricating himself from his fallen horse; but the sound of the fray
had called up other passengers, and he was overmastered and sent to
Newgate, where he found the keeper so much of a friend that on this
occasion he was ready to receive him. Tyburn also was sufficiently
hospitable not to reject him, and he was hanged on Wednesday, 8th
September, 1686, in his thirty-third year.
