On Hounslow Heath a company of horsemen, with masks on their faces, waited for the great people who had been to pay their court to the King at Windsor.

Lord Ossulston escaped with the loss of two horses.

The Duke of Saint Albans, with the help of his servants, beat off the assailants.

His brother the Duke of Northumberland, less strongly guarded, fell into their hands.
They succeeded in stopping thirty or forty coaches, and rode off with a great booty in guineas, watches and jewellery.

Nowhere, however, does the peal seem to have been so great as on the Newmarket road.
