General notes

On their way to burgle Westwood House, Ince, Wigan, Ford and Houghton stopped at the Hare and Hounds for a drink, and Houghton stole a pair of quarter boots. Later they met up with the other two, and carried out the crime for which three of them were hanged in 1815; Ford gave evidence against the other three and was freed.
