with the Wife of Woolford, who had been before Wise to one Louder that was hang'd in Chains at Holloway, and cohabited with her in an Illegal Manner.

The Morning before he dyed, he received the Sacrament with much earnestness and devotion; and the Moment of his Death had an undaunted Resolution and Intrepidity, Confessing his Crime, and advising the Spectators to take Warning by him, and beware how they listened to the Tongues of Women.

3. WILLIAM COLTHOUSE< no role > about 34 Years of Age, Born in Yorkshire , was Convicted of Assaulting ROBERT HARLE< no role > on Hounslow-Heath , between 5 and 6 in the Evening, and taking from him near 4 l. by catching hold of his Bridle as he was turning out of the Road for a Chaise which he thought the two Highwaymen belonged to.

He was besides Convicted of Robbing Benjamin Burrows< no role > just after, of a Watch, and two Rings, which he took off his Finger, and 4 s. in Money; these Robberies he committed in Company with one Sinnament, on the 20th of September in the fifth Year of the King .

This Will. Colthouse< no role > had a good Education, being well Instructed in the Principles of his Religion; but for seditious Words against his Majesty was put into Newgate , about 6 Years ago, where instead of being terrify'd at the Miseries that Vice occasions, as thinking Men would be, he was desirous of acquiring a wicked Acquaintance, which asserted he improv'd to his utter Ruin. After this, he said, he lived like a Gentleman for a very short time, but, was more deeply wretch'd than any Beggar; till his Brother and he, were pursued on Hounslow-Heath , for a Robbery; where his Brother was taken and Executed, but he shelter'd himself from his Chacers in an Hollow-Tree: He said also, that he went to Oxford , intending to alter his vicious way of Life, and work'd sometime as a Joyner there, but perceiv'd at length his ill Inclinations too forceable for his best Inclinations.

He added, that he was very sorry that his remaining Brothers should be both suspected of being Highwaymen, for two, nay, one out of a Family was enough to come to a shameful Death; that he really believed his Elder Brother was no Rogue, but his Youngest he was sure was a Child of very virtuous Principles; and that he had left them a Paper, entreating them to mind nothing so much as Reading and going to Church, and to Work hard at their Callings, because six Pecne well got would go farther than a Pound obtain'd by Fraud.

Being ask'd if he murther'd a Farmer's Son in Philpot Lane in Hampshire, he denyed it, and said, what made People suspect him, was, because the murtherer had two Scars a-cross his Hand; and he had a Scar on his Face; but he added, that this Scar was occasion'd by a Quarrel at Tuthil-Fields , which happen'd upon a Man's saying the Prince was Par-Blind; in which Quarrel some Soldiers laid his Face on a Red-Hot Gridiron, and burnt up his Cheek, and the lower Lid of his Eye.

Before his Death, he appear'd Earnest in his Devotions, denying that he gave Consent to the Design of Burgess and Shaw, of making their Escape with Pistols in Hand; however, he received the Holy-Sacrament with all the Tokens of a real Repentance; and at the Place of Execution, beg'd to be forgiven by all Men, requested their Prayers, and hop'd that they would be so warn'd, as not to follow him, as now to the Place.

4. JONAH BURGESS< no role > , of White-Chappel , was condemn'd for stealing from W. Fluck, 60 l. on Sunday in the Afternoon, Septem. 7 . by breaking open a Chest, it being the House where he had lodg'd six Weeks.
