as soon as they had done, if they were not guilty for which they were to suffer, Tears so stopt their Utterance, that hey made no Answer.

THE Morning they died, they all came up to Chappel, were very devout at Prayers and Singing of Psalms; they were then carried down and put into two Carts, about 9 o'Clock. The three Men in one Cart, and the three Women in the other. When they came to the Place of Execution, they had not much to add to their former Confessions: Francis Moulcer< no role > for ravishing Ann Bishop< no role > , acknowledg'd is Guilt, and that he deservedly suffer'd: Samuel Ellard< no role > own'd likewise the Justice of his Sentence, and that he had been a very wicked Youth: Richard Lee< no role > , otherwise Country Dick, own'd he had been a notorious Thief and Cheat, et was not willing downright to own the present Fact: Ann Duck< no role > This name instance is in set 3827. was in the same To, in regard to the Fact for which she died; but own'd she had been a most wicked Creature, and had done many Robberies: Ann Barefoot< no role > This name instance is in set 3829. , otherwise Wells, and Ann Gwyn< no role > This name instance is in set 4427. , both own'd the Robbery for which they died.

THEY were all very serious and devout at Prayers, wept plentifully, and went off the Stage crying out, Lord have Mercy upon us, Lord Jesus receive our Spirits.

This is all the Account given by me,

APPENDIX.

The following is an Account of the Robberies committed by ANN DUCK< no role > This name instance is in set 3827. , taken from her own Mouth in Newgate.

IT is a melancholly Observation, that notwithstanding frequent Examples are made of , and altho', to man fall by the ick Justice, and are punish'd for in the Loss of their Lives; yet such revalence of Evil Custom, and so strong the Force of wicked Habits, that the most shocking Instances of Distress and Anguish, are not sufficient to deter from Courses, which must necessarily conclude in Horror and Destruction.

Too many Proofs of the Depravity and Degeneracy of Human Nature, are generally given in these Accounts: and though the fatal Rocks are so plainly pointed out, on which Multitudes of unfortunate, thoughtless Creatures have been Ship-wreck'd; yet such is the Condition of a Mind in love with, and inur'd to Vice, that even the most firm Expectation of Shame and Ruin, is not attended with any good Effect.

'Tis worth remarking, that when these inconsiderate Wretches have brought themselves to a fatal Necessity of reaping the Fruit of their vicious Labour, their greatest Concern is, to extenuate their Guilt; and even in their dying Minutes, they too frequently endeavour by solemn Asseverations, and mean Prevarications, to persuade the World, that they are Innocent, or not so shamefully wicked as has been imagined.

IT being apprehended, that the Public would be desirous of knowing the Causes which drew on the Misfortunes of the Malefactures executed on Wednesday last, some extraordinary Pains has been taken to get such Transactions as are most remarkable in the Lives of these unhappy Persons, which are as follows, viz.

ON the 28th of December, 1741 , I and my Fellow-Sufferer Ann Barefoot< no role > This name instance is in set 3829. , being out on our Walks, as we generally were 3 or 4 Times a Week in the Evenings, we met with one Wm. Cooper< no role > , in Eagle and Child Alley, between Shoe-Lane, and the Fleet-Market : I directly laid hold of him, and cried out to Ann Barefoot< no role > This name instance is in set 3829. to come to m Assistance, which she accordingly did; when she came, we both seiz'd him, I with my Right Hand, and she with her Left; I had my other Arm round him, whilst Barefoot endeavoured to dive into the left Pocket of his Breeches, but with the Struggling, pulled out his Shirt, before she could get to his Pocket; at length she got out of his Pocket a Money-bag which contain'd 35 s. and gave it me. After we had got the Money, we cried out George! George! which we did on purpose to frighten the old
