being made against him before a Justice of Peace, for rescuing one Holt from Custody, he was obliged to keep out of the Way as much as he could, and so went over to the Brill in Holland ; and says, he was there when he heard of his being outlaw'd. However, he could not be off his old Employment, but made frequent Trips from Holland , and other Places, to the Suffolk Coast, with Tea, Brandy, &c. and was concerned largely for other Smugglers. The Fact laid against him in the Information he never would own, but denied it to the last, saying, he was in Bed at Carbold's House at Yarmouth , at the Time the Rescue was sworn to be made. His Sentence, in Consequence of the Proceedings and Issues arising from the Information and Outlawry, he own'd to be very just, but could not help reflecting upon the Informer for some Time; and afterwards, being persuaded to think better of the Matter, he said he would forgive him from his Heart, and hoped that God would, tho' he had done him great Injury and Wrong. He said further, that he did not remember he had ever had any Ill-will or Quarrel with any Man, and could safely declare with his last Breath, that he died free from Malice and Hatred, and that he was to die in Love and Charity with all Men. His Behaviour (though quite illiterate) has, in Newgate , been uncommonly civil and quiet.

3. JAMES SUNDILAND< no role > , otherwise SCOTT< no role > , aged 26, was born at Westram , and lived eight Years with a Master in that Town.

He owns he was a Smuggler in the general, but says, he never was of any particular Gang, though shrewdly suspected of it. About two Years ago he was taken by a Party of Soldiers, and charged before a Justice of Peace with Smuggling in general, but no particular Fact laid against him; upon which Account however the Justice thought proper to commit him to the New Jail in Southwark . There he was confined a Prisoner for about a Fortnight, for further Examination, and in the Interim was several Times before the Justice, and nothing material appearing against him, some Friend of his applied to have him discharged; but this could not be brought about till a Petition in his Favour being drawn, was sent down to Westram, and returned back again, signed by a great Number of the principal Inhabitants of that Town and Neighbourhood, and then it was thought fit to set him at Liberty, as no particular Fact was laid to his Charge. Being thus discharg'd, he for some Time made good Use of his Enlargement, followed his Butcher's Business, and kept close to his Shop, his Courage being cooled for a while by his late Confinement. But as Fire that has Water thrown upon it, is abated for a while, and some Time after recovering, burns with
