Carrol Said only that Hind had Sworn Several things against Her
which She Said were all false & that he was a person of an ill
reputation, She insisted She Knew him Very well for that She had often
been at his House and he often used hers (being a publick House) but
Hind being called again & asked if he knew her, after looking at her
denied positively upon his Oath that he ever Saw her before
that Moment in his life.

Elizabeth Tickbourne< no role > the prisoners other witness gave a confus'd
blind account that the day before She heard Hind Say he went to the
prisoner in custody to know what the prisoner had to Say to Him and
that Hind Said Something of a Guinea that was then called of
between him & the prisoner But what it was in particular She could
not remember which Seemed rather to import the Prisoners
Sending for Hind to tamper with him again but further said that
(She being present a conversation between Hind and the prisoner
when he was in custody) Hind Said to the prisoner he would Have
every thing Made easy or be easy or to that effect which Hind
explained by deposing that when he came to the prisoner, the
prisoner fell into a great passion and was very abusive to Him,
upon which he might use Some Such expressions about being easy
or the life.

The prisoner called no other Evidence. either to the fact or to the
Characters of the other witnesses against him; nor to his own
Character, which in such a case depending on Circumstances tho'
so Strong, had been highly material for him to do.

And the Jury upon a Short consideration of the Matter and
circumstances aforesaid without going from the Barr, found
him guilty of the Indictment.

Whereupon the Court after due consideration of the whole
matter did unanimously agree that the Judgment in the
peticon menconed Should be pronounced upon the Prisoner
(they conceiving the Same to be a legal Judgement, & in no wise
disproportionate to the prisoners Offence) which was done
accordingly and the twelve counterfeit Shillings were (as usuall)
cut to pieces in open Court.

And the Said Justices beg leave further only to add, that they have
observed of late Several instances of persons convicted before them for
the life Offence; which unless it be repressed by fitting examples of
punishment is likely to grow So frequent, as to prove very
injurious to the publick; and detrimentall to commerce
among all, but especially his Majesties poor labouring Subjects.
