London. June 29. On Wednesday evening last a gentleman who
was amusing himself with a walk, being drawn by the musick
in Marybone Gardens into the field behind the same, was so
delighted therewith, that staying there a little too late,
was surprized by a fellow, who putting a pistol to his
breast demanded his money, threatening at the same time to
blow his brains out if he did not instantly deliver it. The
gentleman not a little startled at being so roughly
accosted, thought it most advisable to deliver both watch
and money, and return home, though not well satisfied with
the conclusion of the evening's entertainment.
