2. Malicious Mischief. Bridges
he has had his hand , & then every body sees he cannot swear falsely as he would before.
But let him do what he will in the way of mischief to the Bridge called London —
Bridge, so there at Westminster & Fulham, be it, Man or Woman, he they must die.+
+ That is an improvement for by the first Act it was only Felony
He is welcome however to do what mischief he pleases to any of the works, except to
those of London Bridge, where he might as well demolish the whole
I am a rich Man — I have half-a-hundred Ragamuffins without shoes to
their feet to pull down one of the Arches of Blackfriars: they will
forfeit be sure to all their Estates Real & Personal: If they are out of luck they will get a singed hand; But
I will give them 5 Guilders a piece smart money.
All this I may do & welcome; I shall should be liable indeed if I staid in England to
make good the Damages or to pay a fine — But I chuse to go and reside in France
[Qu. Outlawing intend to Plantations Ireland Scotland] & 1 I shall take myself off Certainty at my leisure convenience
which 2 my Attorney is reading the Indictment or the Declaration.
I may do the same with any Bridge that is or was shall be built — Blackfriars
indeed being built with Stone it could be rather make rather a troublesome resistance awkward going about: But
---page break---
Walter & a number of [the] others being happily of Wood to Men with a little Stone &
a few chips would do the business as well as one two hundred.
I would recommend it to the French Duc d'Angouleme if the Law in this behalf is not alter'd to lose
no time, but to send somebody on this errand.
Only London Bridge that clumsy & unseemly Pile is sacred: wants not be thought procuring & asking is there &
there alone, the source
Practical Ironical perhaps one or two
It being such a trifling question whether a Man is to be hanged or not — few none of these
Acts but .... are taken in to [Pickerings] The and Qu 3 Editor of the Statutes.
