Scope and Content
Benjamin Johnson informed him that he had been robbed the night before by Daniel Billington and that Robert Goddard was present. He made enquiries in the town and heard that Goddard and Billington's wife were gone toward Eaton Socon; he went after them and found them in the Nag's Head, Wyboston, Eaton Socon. As soon as he went in, Goddard said to Billington's wife 'We'll walk' and left the house and started to walk towards Bedford. On being asked why he was going back he said he had been to the overseer at Eaton Socon for relief. After this he heard that a person answering to Billington's description had gone to the Falcon at Eaton Socon and he went with Mr Day the constable to the house where Billington was arrested and searched but no bank notes were found on him.
