for the said City and County of Middlesex) at Justice-Hall in the Old-Bailey, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the 15th , 16th , and 17th of January, 1735 , in the Ninth Year of his Majesty's Reign.

One Man, viz. Thomas Bulker< no role > , was by the Jury found Guilty of Capital Crimes, and condemn'd to die.

While under Sentence, they were instructed in the Christian Faith, how as Christians we are strictly bound to a new and holy Life, being early dedicated to God in Baptism, to deny ourselves to all Ungodliness and worldly Lusts, to the World, the Flesh, and the Devil, and to obey the Laws of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in every Thing.
