and some his arms; Carr, with the assistance of the two waiters, held him down, and swore if he made the least resistance, or noise, he would cut his throat from ear to ear; then took the money out of his pockets, and ring off his finger; the money he put into the prosecutor's hat, which lay on the floor; he took ninety-three guineas, and about eight or ten shillings in silver; then gave him liberty to sit in a chair, while he saw Carr distribute his money among the people in the room; they said he seemed to be much surprized; and Carr ordered the waiter to go down for a couple of bottles of wine, from which they filled a glass nearly holding a pint, which they forced him to drink off; then a second, both filled to the brim, and part of a third; then undressed and forced him into bed, and left him, swearing if he made the least noise they would return, and cut his throat to prevent his telling tales. Mr. Quarrington lay till about nine or ten in the morning, then rose and secretly left the house; and applied to a magistrate for a warrant to apprehend the parties; but they were fled, and the house shut up; however, remembering Carr's name being mentioned in the course of the transaction, he traced him to his

He was executed at Tyburn, January, 18, 1737-8.
