 John Swift Nick Nevison - Highwaymen and Highway Robbery
The Newgate Calendar entry on William (John) Nevison forms the basis for most modern biographical entries, although it doesn't mention the feat for which he is best known - the fabled ride to London that was later attributed to Dick Turpin.
The Lord Mayor could prove Nevison was in York at 8pm on the day of the robbery and the court refused to believe that a man would have committed that time in Kent and ridden to York by 8pm the same day.
Nevison was sentenced to transportation to Tangiers, but returned to England (or escaped before the ship disembarked from Tilbury) and once more took to highway robbery.

 Yorkshire history
What ever the reason, Nevison based his highway robberies along the Great North Road between Newark and Huntingdon where he is supposed to have provided some sort of 'protection racket' for drovers who frequently used the highway to move their cattle to the markets of London.
Stabling the courageous horse at an inn in York, Nevison then changed from his travel worn apparel, whether he had such a change of clothing in his portmanteaux, or whether he had to purchase new is uncertain, but if the former, then this adds yet more to the possibility that the whole exercise was planned.
Whether Nevison was indeed one of that very rare breed, a Gentleman Highwayman, or simply a romanticised mugger it is hard to tell after the passage of time, and the changing standards of society.
