On 13 September of the same year, whilst Jonathan Sewell was cutting corn at Durdar, Ann Heslop, with Thomas Wallis and David Wilson, two yeomen from Penrith, joined him in the field and encouraged him to drink ‘large quantities of ale and spirituous liquors’, whilst yet another post chaise stood by, waiting to cart him off again. This time they’d altered the plan again and took him to Thomas Wallis’s house in Penrith, the next day moving him to Hood-Foot, where he spent another three days, after which he was moved over the mountains to Stanhope in Weardale, County Durham, where he was imprisoned in the house of John Walton.
