JAMES ASHLEY

JAMES ASHLEY, a brandy-merchant, residing in
Bread-street, London, in the year 17-52, was brought
into considerable notice by a transaction which
took place between him and Henry Simons, a
Polish jew, who represented himself as being robbed
by a person named Joseph Goddard, a publican, at
Cranford-bridge., of five hundred and fifty-four ducats,
which he had brought to England, for the purpose
