A full and true ACCOUNT Of a Notorious and Bold ROBBERY, commited On Hounslow-Heath on Friday last, 1700. By Jonathan Lan, and Guy Cook, Two Highwaymen.  
Particularly, How they Robbed Simon Hartcourt, of the Middle Temple Esq of 35 Guines, Ten Lewe's-d'ors, a Silver Watch, and several things of great value, as also how they were taken after a strange manner, and Committed to Newgate, by the Lord Chief Justice Holt, on Saturday last.  
ON Friday Last, Simon Harcourt Esq: having (as I am informed) been at a Country House of his beyond Hownslow, and coming over the Heath in his Coach towards the Evening in order for London, his Coach was stopped about the middle of the Heath by Jonathan Lan, & Guy Cook Two bold Fellows well mounted, who drawing their Pistols, one pulled the Coach Man off his Box while the other was boldly demanding the ' Squire 's Money, who seeing his Pistols Cocked, and finding them both of Violent Resolutions, delivered them 35 Guineas with a considerable quantity of Silver, and a Watch and making a further search, after having bound the ' Squire's Man, they sound 10 Lewe's-D'ors and other things of great value in the Coach; which they carred off, and Road directly towards London leaving the Esq and his Man bound Hand and Foot, who were presently relieved by some Persons who came over the Heath.  
Notwithstanding the Highway Men's seeming escape and safety, they were both Discovered and Taken after a strange and unusual manner, viz. a Country Farmer on Horse Back, during their Robbing the Esq stood undiscerned ●t s●●● distance, and seeing what they had done, followed 〈◊〉 which they taking notice of, they Road up to him, and with cocked Pistols threatened him with Death, if he did not desist following them: But the Country Man being a subtle Blade, Counterfeited himself Drunk, and Acted his Part so natural, by making strange Faces, Antic Gestures, etc. that they really believeed him to be no less than what he pretended, and thereupon calling him Drunken Sot, they left him and went forward, but he still followed them, and with a Drunken kind of a Tone seemed to press them to Drink a Pot or Two with him, but thinking he had been realy Drunk, they told him he had got a Pot too much already, and thereupon took no further notice of him.  
However he continued his Drunken Fancy, and followed them till they came to Cue-Ferry, where they took Water, but no sooner were they in the Ferry Boat, but the Country Man put off his Barneby 's disguise, and caused them to be Seized on the other Side, whereupon they were conveyed to London under a strong Guard that Evening, and the next Morning Carried before the Right Honourable Lord Chief Justice Holt, who Examined them concerning the aforesaid Robbery, at which time ' Squire Harcourt, and his Man made Oath against them, as did also the comical Country Man, so that having little to say in their own Defence, his Lordship Committed them both to Newgate, for the said Robbery on Saturday last being the 1 saint of June 1700, since which they are Charged with another Robbery, that they Committed on Bagshot Heath, the same Day they Robbed ' Squire Harcourt: For Robbing two Graziers, from whom, ('tis said) they took a considerable quantity of Gold and Silver.
