Eight Men, viz. Richard Brabant< no role > , Philip Lipscomb< no role > , John Cassody< no role > , Robert Hant< no role > , Robert Parsonson< no role > , John Davis< no role > , Robert Birch< no role > , John Tims< no role > , and three Women, viz. Ann Lucas< no role > , Dorothy Middleton< no role > , and Hannah Robinson< no role > , were by the Jury convicted of Capital Crimes, and received Sentence of Death.

Whilst under Setence, they, having been very vicious, and many of them very ignorant, and very young, were instructed in the first Principles of Religion, and afterwards in the whole Christian System of Salvation through Jesus Christ, suitable to their Circumstances and Capacities.

The great Injustice and Villainy of Theft and Robbery, was insisted on, how disagreeable it is to, and how destructive of human Society, and how near approaching it is to that execrable Crime of Murder, such Rogues never standing at Murder in case of Opposition in their villainous Attacks.

They were all exhorted to a lively Faith in Christ, and a sincere Repentance for all their Sins, which is the only Way to be delivered from Sin, together with all the direful Effects thereof, as the Wrath of God, and eternal Damnation.

Whilst these and many such like Exhortations and Instructions were given, all of them attended in Chapel, were attentive to Prayers, and appeared serious in Devotion. John Runsberg< no role > came to Worship, behav'd decently, was sick sometimes, and very desirous of Prayers and Instructions, but sorry, being a Foreigner, he could not understand our Language well. Joseph Huddle< no role > This name instance is in set 38230. lay a-bed most of the Time, in a miserable Condition, pretending Want of Cloaths, but when provided with some Necessaries, he attended with the rest. Daniel Jackson< no role > came up but two or three Times before and after Sentence, being desperately wounded, of which no one had the least Intimation till the Day before he died; but he always appear'd confus'd and very disconsolate. Coates was up only once or twice, continuing sick till he died. Nash was very ill a long Time, but when he recovered, he constantly attended with the rest, and behav'd with Decency. Quail was very quiet and conformable, and did not absent himself from Chapel though he was of the Popish Communion , as was likewise Ann Greenhall< no role > and John Elwar< no role > . Charles Shooter< no role > was a very little Boy, about Thirteen or Fourteen Yeaas of Age. John Catt< no role > , Mary Young< no role > , and Elizabeth Davis< no role > , behaved well and in a Christian Manner. Mary Young< no role > wet sometimes in Prayers and Singing of Psalms. Philip Lipscomb< no role > , was a poor, quiet, disconsolate Creature. Cassody and Hurt attended, but was both inclined to the Romis Persuasion. Davis pretended Sickness, but when I visited him, seemed desirous of Prayer and Instructions. Parsonson expressed a deep Penitence, and his Behaviour was very decent and commendable. Richard Brabant< no role > expressed by his sober Behaviour a sincere Repentance, and seem'd truly affcted with the melancholly Circumstances of his most unhappy Condition. Thomas Davis< no role > continued sick all the Time, and unwilling to give any Satisfaction. Dorothy Middleton< no role > and Hannah Robinson< no role > , were always sick, but when I visited them, they behaved well. Ann Lucas< no role > , tho' an infamous Creature, sat very quiet.
