opened that door likewise, that they both of them forced themselves into the chaise, and took from them the things mentioned in the indictment. The fact was further confirmed by one Francis Gore< no role > an accomplice, who deposed, that he, with the prisoners, did stop the chaise and robbed the prosecutor; that afterwards they went to Duke?s-Place in order to dispose of that watch and another, and meeting with one Aaron Meyers< no role > , they asked him, If he would buy a gold watch, and a pinchbeck one, with a gold dialplate? or if he would help them to some body that would, they would give him something for his trouble; that as he was going along with them he met John Lyons< no role > (since transported) who asked him what the prisoners wanted? that he told them that they wanted to sell two watches; that Lyons desired him to take the prisoners to a public-house, and that he would come to them; that they went to the Crown in Camomile-Street ; that Lyons came there and looked over the watches, and asked what they would have for them? they asked five guineas for the gold watch, and a guinea and a half for the pinchbeck one; that Lyons offered them six guineas for both; that at first they refused it, but they went away with Lyons, and took what he had offered them.

John Devine< no role > was born in Dublin , of honest and industrious parents; who, when of age, bound him apprentice to a shoe-maker . When he had served his time he came over to England , and worked at his trade; but meeting with Gore, his countryman, he was soon led away, and by his insinuations agreed to follow his wicked course of life. He confessed that he had been concerned with him and Dempsey in two robberies, and no more. Though he was a member of the church of Rome , he was ready and willing to receive my instructions, and frequently joined in the prayers of the church with the other convicts. He was 24 years of age.

Morning of Execution.

On visiting the prisoners, about half past six, I found them in a mind very suitable to their unhappy circumstances. Being asked how it was with them? they answered, Quite easy and resigned. Their irons being partly unloosed, we went into the little room adjoining the pressyard, to spend a little time with them in prayer; a very respectable and valuable young clergyman also attended, who prayed with, and exhorted them, in a moving and pathetic manner. After which we went up to chapel; but Devine who was of the Catholic persuasion, did not communicate with his fellow convict, Lovell; but, what was very remarkable in him, after the communion, he, by his own particular desire, came up, and joined in prayer, which was a matter of thankfulness to all present, giving thereby an opportunity of speaking freely to him, and that, 'tis hoped, with blessing to his foul.

Service being over, we sung a suitable hymn, and once more recommended them to mercy, desiring them steadfastly to look to the Lord
