1 Dominick White< no role > , aged 28, born at New-Market near Limeric in the Kingdom of Ireland , was bound Apprentice to a Butcher in Limeric , whom he served about four Years and a half, but thinking to do better at Sea , he took the Opportunity of entering himself on Board the Ship of War called the Lime , then cruising on the Irish Coasts. He was on board this Ship about six Months, and was turned over to the Cambridge Man of War , which was then order'd for the Mediterranean, and on Board her, the Buchingham and the Dunkirk he has spent his Time, which is about nine Years from the Time of his going to Sea to last May, when he was discharged from the Dunkirk. He says he has worked since at Times in Rope-walks at Deptford , and other Places; but in general has led a loose and idle Life, Pilfering, and Stealing, whatever he could lay his Hands on. He was of a morose Disposition, and would scarce suffer himself to be talked to: He at first said, he was bred a Protestant, but afterwards was determined to die a Roman Catholick , and the only Reason he would give for so doing was, because he had often been to hear Mass in Ireland . As to the Fact for which he was convicted, he said he neither did, nor thought of any Harm, tho' he had a Pistol in his Hand charged with a large Slug, and about 20 Shot which he held right against the Persons who went down into the Cellar to take him; that Horner broke open the Cellar Window, and went down; and not coming up after he had called to him several Times, he went himself down to fetch him up. I leave it to the Reader, whether a Man could mean any Harm, who had the above Pistol, and a Bottle with Gunpowder; besides a Sword or Tuck, and a Piece of Iron, an Instrument made use of to splice Ropes with, with which 'tis very probable the Door was wrench'd open. Thus accoutered, and found in a Cellar, broke open, his Intentions could not be very harmless; and nothing to be sure, but being seasonably detected prevented his carrying his evil Designs in Execution. He was armed for doing great Mischief, and seem'd to have a Will fit for such Enterprizes.

2. William Horner< no role > , aged 21, born near St. John's Church in the Borough of Southwark , was put Apprentice to a Carman ; and says, being a wicked idle Boy, and getting into bad Company has brought him to this miserable and unhappy End thus early. He has been so ill, almost ever since he received Sentence of Death, as to be in great Measure deprived of his Senses; so that I could but just bring him to a Sense of this Offence, and that he should repent of all evil Courses, before it pleased God so to afflict him. He owned he broke the Cellar; said he was sorry for it, and hoped God would have Mercy on his Soul,

3. David Davis< no role > , aged 21, was born in Dublin , and bound Apprentice when very young to a Carpenter , a Man of great Note in the City of Dublin. He served the greatest Part of his Time very faithfully; his Master dying, he continued in the same Manner with the Widow, 'till the seven Years were expired. During which Time his Master having a Job in the Repair of St. Andrew's Church in Dublin , for Conveniency got the Liberty of another Carpenter's Yard
