Wager arrested

Twas as much as we could do to get Wager Home, though: I made a Man ride behind him, for he was very unruly, pulling the Horse about, making Motions with his Hands at every Body that came near him, as if he was firing a Pistol, crying Phoo!

From The Old Bailey Proceedings, deposition of James Barnes (arresting officer) to the court December 8th 1736
