Description of "Villains" in the "Boston Post-Boy," Dec. 12, 1763.

Tuesday last a Gang of Villains were apprehended at a House in
Roxbury, and brought to Town & committed to Goal, they have been
concerned in the late Robberies here, and 'tis suspected in some
of those towards Pennsylvania, for which Reason it will be proper
to advertise their Names, with some Description of them, which
are as follows, viz.

_William Robinson_, a tall slim fellow, about 5 Feet 7 inches
high, wears a blue Surtout Coat with metal Buttons, and his Hat
commonly flopt before, and an old laced Waistcoat, has short
curled black Hair; when he speaks he seems jaw-fallen and very
effeminate, is about 35 Years of Age, walks much like a
Foot-pad, and has a comely Woman with him whom he calls his
Wife.----_John Cassady_, a middling siz'd Fellow much
pock-broken, square-shoulder'd, wears a Wig upon the yellow
cast, and has a very guilty Countenance, is about 40 Years of
Age, and calls himself a Shoe-maker.--_John Willson_, a short
young Fellow, about 21 Years of Age, wears a blue Surtout Coat,
and short black Hair, of a pale Countenance, and calls himself a
Sail-maker.--_George Sears_, a well-set Fellow, with a comely
Face, black Hair twisted with a black Ribbon, and says he serv'd
3 Years to an Attorney in England.
