He behav'd always Civily in Chapel and at other Times, for what I know, except in one single Instance before-mention'd. He profess'd himself Penitent, that he believ'd in Christ, and died in Peace with all the World. As for the Crime for which he suffer'd, he absolutely deny'd it, and after all the Arguments could be used, he would not alter in his Confession; but reflected on his Prosecutor as one no less Wicked than himself: However, he freely forgave him; and often own'd to me, that for twenty Years past he never rose out of his Bed, but he deserv'd the Gallows. His Carriage was much more Modest and Civil, than that of several of those notorious Offenders useth to be.

Abraham Israel< no role > This name instance is in a workspace. , alias Jonas< no role > , of St. Peter's Poor , was indicted for feloniously stealing eight Silver Spoons, five Silver Forks, two Silver Canisters, one Diamond Ring, value 250 l. a pair of Diamond Ear-rings, value 90 l. three Diamond Buckles, and other Goods, in the Dwelling-house of John Mendez de Costa< no role > This name instance is in a workspace. .

Abraham Israel< no role > This name instance is in a workspace. , alias Jonas< no role > , 22 Years of Age, born at Presburg , in Hungary , of Jewish Parents, who, he said, gave him Education in their Way, and design'd him for a Rabbi. They sent him to a Jewish School or College, at Prague , in Bohemia , and after he had been there for some Time, he left it without Consent of his Father and came to England, where he serv'd some of the topping Jewish Families, in Station of Jewish Butcher or Cook . He own'd that they were very Kind to him, and that he got Abundance of Money, and that it was nothing but a Temptation of the D - l prompted him to rob his Master. He said that he had liv'd up to the Rules of his Religion in many Respects, although he had been guilty of several Failings. He said his Father was a very rich Man at Presburg, and that he had good Relations of his own Nation there. He reflected on his Master, and show'd a Letter he had writ to him in Hebrew, full of bitter Reflexions, and that he apply'd some Imprecations to him out of the 109th Psalm. He had more Knowledge of the Hebrew Language than many of the Jews have, and writ the Characters very well. He had wild extravagant Notions about the Messias, as that he was to come down from Heaven at the End of the World, and to make all Men happy of what Sect or Profession soever they were. He knew little or nothing of the Scripture, only he read the Psalter, and some Jewish Prayer-books, and had some confus'd Notions of the rabbinical Legends and Romances, no way founded on Scripture. He did not believe that the Messias was to be the Son of God in an extraordinary Manner, and when I urg'd him with that Text, Jehova Tzidkenu, the Lord our Righteousness Jer. 23. 6. He knew nothing of it, and could answer nothing to any Argument proving Jesus Christ to be the true Messias, only he was ready to tell some out-of-the-way jewish Fable. He own'd the Justice of his Sentence, according to Law, and died an obstinate Jewish Infidel.

N. B. There being such a Variety of uncommon Facts, in the Life of the two before-mention'd Malefactors, viz. Dalton and Abraham Israel< no role > This name instance is in a workspace. , the Jew; but being confin'd to so small a Compass, and unwilling to put our Readers to a greater Charge, we must refer them to Applebee's Weekly Journal, of Saturday next, where they may depend on an impartial Account.

Thomas Williamson< no role > , 16 Years of Age, born in the City of Chester , had little or no Education, only he said, a Gentlewoman put him to School a-while, where he learned to read a little. His Father, taught him his own Trade, which was a Shoe-maker . He confess'd that he was at committing the Robberies in the Indictments, but that it was James Nattris< no role > who broke the Houses and stole the Things, and that he was only Witness to it upon Nattris's Desire: He said also, that his Father knew nothing of the Goods being in his House. He was very Ignorant; I did what I could to instruct him, but he was slow of Understanding, and could not attain to much Knowledge. He wept and cried bitterly like a Child, when I spoke to him in Private. He repented of his Sins, believed in Christ, and died in Peace with all Mankind.

David Aubert< no role > , about 36 Years of Age, of honest Parents, within three of four Miles of the City of Bern in Swisserland , who gave him good Education at School, and instructed him in the Principles of Christianity. He was no particular Trade, but being good at the French Language he serv'd Gentlemen , and travell'd with them to France and other Foreign Places. He said, that he was obedient to his Parents, Trusty to his Masters (excepting this Instance) and observant of religious Duties. He purchas'd a small Estate in his own Country, with Money which he made in Service, to the value of 9 or 10 l. per Ann. He hath been in England for 6 or 7 Years past, at least coming and going, and had the Love of the Masters he serv'd. He hehav'd Modestly, Gravely and Devoutly in Chapel and upon all Occasions. He appeared to be of a mild agreeable Temper, and had a very honest Look. He acknowledg'd the Justice of his Sentence, but said that he never was a Thief before, nor of a vicious Life. He profess'd his Faith in Christ, his Penitence for Sin, and that he died in Peace with all Mankind.

At the Place of EXECUTION,

ABRAHAM the Jew, had some of his Nation speaking and reading a little to him in Hebrew; before I could get to pray for the rest. He said he had nothing more to say, only shew'd me a little Hebrew Prayer Book he was reading in. He seem'd to be very uncharitable to his Prosecutors when there was no Expectation of Life. I ask'd him if he freely forgave his Enemies? He hesitated upon this, and did not know if it was agreeable to their Religion, but answer'd faintly, he did. At another Time he prayed God might Reward them as they had dealt by him. Mr. Aubert had no more to say, only that he had given Satisfaction to one who had come to him several Days about an Affair. Thomas Williamson< no role > This name instance is in a workspace. said he forgave all his Enemies. James Dalton< no role > said that Neaves had committed the Robbery by himself, which he swore against Nichols, and that he got money to swear falsely against Nichols, but that he would not do it. He deliver'd a Paper to one, which was the Scroll of a Letter reflecting on a Gentleman. They were serious at Prayers and singing Psalms, and when we had sung part of the 51 Psalm, Dalton desir'd some of the Humble Suit of a Sinner to be sung, which was done. They went off crying to God for Mercy.

When I came this Morning to Chapel, in order to recommend them to God as usual, before they die; they told me, that this Morning, Hugh Haughton< no role > had tied the Sword Belt which he wore about him to the Grate of the Cell-window, and his Handkerchief to the End of the Belt; and that he tied his Neck in the Handkerchief, and had his Hand at the Handkerchief putting it in order to Strangle himself. That by the Time they came to him, he was dead, although they had been with him about twenty Minutes before, when he was with apparent Devotion praying and singing Psalms. It is to be fear'd that he was a Hypocrite, and that little of what he said can be believed.

This all the Account given by me,

JAMES GUTHRIE< no role > , Ordinary of Newgate .
