At length he was tracked to a house near Saint James's Street, where he was known by a feigned name, and where he passed for a working jeweller.

A messenger of the press went thither with several assistants, and found Anderton's wife and mother posted as sentinels at the door.

The women knew the messenger, rushed on him, tore his hair, and cried out "Thieves" and "Murder." The alarm was thus given to Anderton.

He concealed the instruments of his calling, came forth with an assured air, and bade defiance to the messenger, the Censor, the Secretary, and Little Hooknose himself.

After a struggle he was secured.
