Add to basketSingle sheet slipsong, illus. v.g. 24.5 x 9.5cm. This printing by Watts is not recorded on Bodleian Ballads online. The BBTI records Watts as being at this Snow Hill address between 1838-49. 'In Newery town I was bred and born, At seventeen I took a wife, I loved her dear as I loved my life And to maintain her fine and gay A robbing went on the highway. I robbed Lord Goldin I do Declare Lady Mansfield in Grosvenor Square, Shut the shutters bid e'em good night, And went away to my heart's delight. Till Fielding's gang did me pursue, Taken I was by the cursed crew.' Lord Mansfield is thought to be William Murray, first Earl of Mansfield, 1706-1793, who was Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench from 1756. Fielding is either the Author Henry Fielding or his brother John, the 'gang' presumably being the Bow Street Runners, founded by Henry Fielding as the first police force in England and refined by his brother John after Henry's death in 1754.
