JAMES GUTHRIE< no role > ,

Ordinary of Newgate .

APPENDIX:

The following Account Jesse Walden< no role > gave of himself a few Days before he died.

I AM now about 27 Years of Age, and was born in the Parish of St. Leonard Shoreditch , of reputable Parents, who gave me a good Education, and put me to School to one Mr. Child, in Shoreditch , and afterwards to Mr. Pattison in Grubstreet . I continued at School till I was nine Years old; then I served Mr. Willan a Hosier, in Cornhill , as an Erraand Boy ; but upon his failing, I quitted that Service with a very good Character, and was put Apprentice to William Thompson< no role > , a Butcher in Shoreditch, with whom I serv'd 5 Years very honestly, and then I absented from him, and entered on board the Mountague Man of War , where I staid about 8 Months, from thence I transferred myself on board the Rippon, in which Ship I went to Lisbon , and was there with the Fleet under Sir John Norris< no role > . From thence I came to England , and served the Remainder of my Apprenticeship, and my Master was so generous as to allow me all the Pay which was due to me on board the above Ships. When my Time was expired, I work'd Journey-work with several Masters, and the first Acquintance I ever had in ill Practices was, with one Tom Easter< no role > This name instance is in set 3520. , who lived in Shoreditch , and with whom, (after having drank pretty freely together) I agreed to go upon the Highway.

Accordingly Easter, another Person, and I, robbed Mr. Evans, and Mr. Smalt, in a Chaise near Newington Green Turnpike , on the 19th of June, about the Close of the Evening. We took from them a silver Watch, and about ten Shillings in Money.

After this, Easter and I went into Goodman's-Fields , and after we had lain there all Night, I got one Jack Rigby< no role > to pawn the Watch for us, and he accordingly did pawn it for us in his Father's Name, at a House in Angel-Alley , for 2 Guineas.

Rigby was afterwards, through his own Folly, taken up for this Robbery, and put one Tom Brown< no role > into his Information, who was entirely Innocent, and I don't know that he ever committed any Robbery at all.

However, Rigby not being able to prove his Information clearly, the Justice committed him and Brown, and they afterwards received their Trial at the Old-Bailey , when Brown was acquited, and Rigby capitally Convicted; but afterwards was reprieved for Transportation.

After this, Tom Easter< no role > and I committed another Robbery near Sir George Whitmore< no role > 's at Hoxton , on a Gentleman, from whom we took a silver Watch, which I pawn'd for 2 Guineas and eight Shillings in Money.

The next Robbery I committed, was with Easter's Assistance, on a Gentleman near the Pindar of Wakefield , whom we robbed of 15 Guineas and 30 s. in Silver.

Easter and I then parted: he went down into Norfolk , and I into Kent , where I might have lived very well, and maintained myself by following my own Trade; but having a great Inclination to be near the Place of my Birth, I could not make myself easy, so I came to London again. I, after this, went to Harwich in Essex , and shipp'd myself on board a Collier, John Longdon< no role > , Commander , who was then confined in Harwich Goal for running down a fishing Sloop, belonging to one Moore, and for which he was afterwards tried and honourably acquitted.
