Upon his Return to London again, he became a Chief among his old Comrades, and Partners in Iniquity; and various are the Robberies in which he has been concerned, by the Confessions of Accomplices, tho', according to the Advertisement he published soon after he was apprehended, he never would own a Fact, left he should destroy that Innocence he then pretended to: But notwithstanding all his Pretensions, there isno Doubt, but Feild's Days have been chiefly spent among Thieves, Gamblers, and lewd Women, which has brought him at last to the Gallows.

The Fact for which he suffered was committed in May last, with Anthony Whittle< no role > , executed already, and Thomas Pendergrass< no role > , now in Custody, having appeared several Times already, at the Bar of the Old-Bailey ; and others, whose Names are up in the World, but not for their good Deeds. This is not the only one 'tis plain, for Saunders, executed, had put Field into an Information, which he made before his Trial at the Old-Bailey .

Several Warrants were Abroad for apprehending Field a long while before he was taken, but the Officers were afraid of him, and it they met him in the Street, they pass'd by him without Notice; and at last, perhaps, he would not have been taken, but being surprized, and off his Guard, was overpowered by Numbers, his old Acquaintance and Friends being Abroad.

Upon his Trial he used base Means, by suborning others as bad as himself, to swear to the Truth of what himself must know to be false, After Conviction he behaved very quietly to the last, nor gave any fresh Offence to any Body; what he had done, he said, was enough for him to answer for, but nothing wou'd he particularize further.

A Gentleman was robbed some Time ago in Red-Lion Square , Holborn ; of a Gold Watch, &c. Value 30 l. besides other Things, was informed by one that is now in Custody, that Field was concerning in the Robbery. This Fellow told the Gentleman all the Circumstances of the Fact so plainly, (which he was before but too well acquainted with) that the Gentleman thought proper to ask Field about it; he did do so, but Field's Answers were evasive, and prevaricating, and the Truth of the Matter we could not come at from him. He owned somewhat of a Watch, taken from a Gentleman in Lincoln's Inn Square , but prevaricated in declaring what became of it; so that had it been the Watch enquired for, he would not have had from his Answers any Hopes to recover it again. However, he died a Roman Catholick , scare without a previous Absolution.

At the PLACE of EXECUTION.

ON Monday the 11th Instant , about 9 o'Clock in the Morning, William Vincent< no role > , Anthony Westley< no role > , and Thomas Clements< no role > , in one; Daniel Davis< no role > , and Edward Smith< no role > , in another; Thomas Applegarth< no role > , and Michael Soss< no role > , in a third; James Sullivan< no role > , James Field< no role > , and William Parsons< no role > , in a fourth Cart, went to the Place of Execution. When there, some Time was spent in Prayer, and they were turned off the Cart, calling for Mercy on their Souls. The Whole was carried on with what Decency the Nature of such Affairs will admit, without much Hurry; and there was no Disturbance, or Tumult among the Populace.

This is all the Account given by me, JOHN TAYLOR< no role > , Ordinary of Newgate .
