Smith owned the Fact, and every Circumstance of it; but continued to the last to insist, that he never had before or since been concerned in a Robbery. How far this his Declaration is to be credited, I won't pretend to say; but tho' I told him, the Circumstance of the Stockings being brought to his House, and there lodged, till they could conveniently make Sale of them, seem'd to argue he was no Stranger to these Things, and gave Cause for Suspicion that he was not only a Thief, but a Receiver of stolen Goods; yet he still persisted to say the same. And moreover, he said, he would not have been concerned in this had it not been at a Time when he had been drunk, and continued so for some Time, and that every one who knew him in the Neighbourhood, respected him, as a civil, harmless Fellow. He behaved always after Conviction very quietly, and resigned, and shewed as much Appearance of Contrition as any of his Fellow-sufferers; and tho' he was illiterate, would ask several pertinent Questions, with Regard to Salvation and a future State.
