How it was afterwards known, that Hainam had the Jewels.
THe Gentleman despairing of ever finding them, being confident that none but Hainam could convey them thence, gets some printed Bils, which he stuck about the streets, and left at Goldsmiths shops; by the which he came to hear of one, and consequently of all the Jewels: for a Gentleman, to whom Hainam proffered to Page 28 make sail of one of the Jewels, bought it at an easie rate; and seeing those Bills, which directed to the loosers house, he hyes him thither, and shew∣ing the Jewel, it prov'd the right; so that the Gentleman very honestly returns it for the same price it cost him; and after the description of the Thief appeared evidently to be Hainam, who was then pursued.
