At the Place of Execution.

THE Morning of the Execution, they all (except those attended by Romish Priests) received the Holy Sacrament, and devoutly joined in the Prayers;after which they were put into the several Carts, and in the following Order were convey'd to the fatal Tree, viz.

In the first Cart were Quail, Legrose, and Huddle; in the second, Nash, Sheriff, and Elver; in the third, Middleton, Mahon, and Fox; in the fourth, Hunt, Birch, and Davis; in the fifth, Tims and Lipscomb; in the sixth, Parsonson and Cassody; in the seventh Brabant, Catt, and Stracey; and lastly, in a Mourning Coach, attended by the Rev. Mr. Broughton, came Mary Young< no role > , alias Jenny Diver< no role > ; each Cart being guarded by a File of Musquereers with their Bayonets fixed to their Firelocks, and two of the Light Horse with their Swords drawn. After the Coach came eight more of the Light Horse, and about forty of the Foot, arm'd as before.

In this Manner were they convey'd through a vast Multitude of People of Tyburn, some of whom, notwithstanding the Guard of Soldiers, were very rude and noisy, hallooing, throwing Brickbats, Mud, &c. at the unhappy Prisoners, as they passed.

One Cart, not being sufficient to hold them, they were put into two, the Rev. Mr. Broughton praying for them in one, and myself in the other. They seemed very devout, and joined heartily in the Prayers and singing of Psalms; though we were interrupted on both Sides by different Persuasions, on the one Side was a Papist, praying loudly to the Saints, whom I was obliged to rebuke, by telling him he acted contrary to the Laws of our Land, and might be complain'd on, upon which he became silent; on the other Side was a Methodist, who by his Behaviour seemed rather crazy than devout, whom we also silenced, and went on with our Prayers.

Thomas Nash< no role > , being on the opposite Side of the Cart, behind three or four Papists, and not able to hear, earnestly entreated me to pray for him by himself, which I did, at which he seemed greatly affected, and was very devout and penitent.

Most of them adhered to their former Confessions, and added no more, than that they died in Peace with all Men, and hop'd for Mercy from God, through the Merits and Intercession of our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

John Catt< no role > , (who was greatly affected and very penitent) desired me to clear Mr. Nixon of the Aspersion thrown on him, of having a Hand in the late Attempt of the Smugglers to break Goal, deciaring that Mr. Nixon had no Hand, directly or indirectly, in the Affair, nor knew any Thing of the Design, but that Catt himself was the chief Director thereof.

Priscilla Mahon< no role > This name instance is in set 1293. was very serious, and so desirous of Prayers, that she call'd me out of the Coach to pray by her, and behaved very penitent, as did likewise Mary Young< no role > and Elizabeth Fox< no role > . Stacey declared he had been a very wicked Youth, and was not only guilty of those Robberies for which he was justly condemned, but of many more. He further declared, that Dennison and Lineham were innocent thereof. He had Hopes thro' the infinite Goodness and Mercy of God, and desired that all there would take Example by his fatal End, and shun their evil Ways.

Mr. Monk, with the Rev. Mr. Mason, following me to the Cart, John Davis< no role > declared with his dying Breath (as he had before done in Newgate to me, and several others) that he was put upon Swearing against the deceased Mr. Calcot, and Mr. Monk his Son-in-Law, and that they were entirely innocent.

Our Devotions being concluded by singing a Penitential Psalm, the Carts were drawn away, and they went off the Stage crying out, God be merciful to us! Lord Jesus receive our Spirits!

This is all the Account given by me,

JAMES GUTHRIE< no role > ,

Ordinary of Newgate.
