Sorry I should have explained a cutpurse is indeed another name for a pickpocket. Dates from the early Middle Ages when people didn't have pockets as such, but tied their purses to their garments with leather or cloth thongs. A cutpurse would then come along and cut the thongs taking the purse and leaving the cut ends behind. Smile
