which so much surprized the whole Court, that the Magistrate before whom the Affidavit was sworn was immediately sent for; and after some little Enquiry, the whole Affair was unravelled, and proper Report thereof being made to his Majesty, he was justly and deservedly included in the next Dead-Warrant, and suffered accordingly.

All these Affairs to be sure drained Sir John's Pocket, it having cost him during his Confinement upwards of Twelve Hundred Pounds; nevertheless, 'tis said, that his Companions have publickly declared that they would give a Thousand Pounds still to save him.

MARY ALLEN< no role > , otherwise SMITH< no role > , aged about 26, was born of honest and reputable Parents, living in Goswell-Street . She appeared of a surly obstinate Disposition, and was resolved to give no Account of herself, she said, because she would have no Speeches made about her when she was dead. She said also it was Grief enough to her Parents that she suffered such an ignominious Death, and she did not choose to say any thing to be repeated after her Death to add to their Afflictions for her unhappy End. It were Pity, indeed, she had not been always of that Way of thinking, then she had not been an Instance of the Resentment of the Laws, and the Cause of the Parents Grief had been taken out of the Way. She confesses the Facts for which she suffers; says she was sorry to have been so long, as till the Warrant came down for her Execution, fed with vain Hopes of a Pardon. She dies however, she says, in Charity with all Men, and hopes for Salvation through the Merits of Christ.
