It has since been reprinted by H. Beigel for the Philobiblon Society, London, 1864-1865. It gives abstracts of the confessions and an account of the court interrogatories.

The young men spent a dull, dawdling, stupid, unprofitable day; and toward dusk Mr.

On Wednesday the three fugitives they had passed the night in a field of unripe wheat reached Chelmsford, and there a body of the inhabitants, calling itself the Committee of Public Supply, seized the pony as provisions, and would give nothing in exchange for it but the promise of a share in it the next day.
