These unhappy Persons have most of them constantly attended the Chapel every Day, and, in the general, behaved with great Decency, and serious Devotion, as Men ought to be affected with, whose Folly and Vice, have justly rendered them obnoxious to the Punishment due to gross Offenders, against the Laws of God, and their Country: Only Dewick, being prevented by great Illness most part of the Time; and Whittle, and Taylor, sometimes, by Illness, being obliged to stay away, were visited in their Cells. Shehan being born and bred in the Romish Persuasion, never attended, but was visited by a Roman-Catholic Priest.

On Thursday the 27th of September , Mr. Recorder made the Report to the Lords Justices, assembled in Council, of the fifteen Malefactors, when they were pleased to Order William Smith< no role > , Richard Wright< no role > , James Macklean< no role > , Henry James Saunders< no role > , John Griffiths< no role > , George Taylor< no role > , John Dewick< no role > , William Tyler< no role > , Anthony Whittle< no role > , Thomas Shehan< no role > , George Lloyd< no role > , and William Wright< no role > , for Execution, on Wednesday the 3d Instant .
