WHY then, Ladies, says he, what think you of a Hot Pot? With all our Hearts (continued she) nothing better. Upon which he gave Nash a Shilling to fetch it, as she did, and it was soon gone. He ordered her then to fetch another, which she accordingly did, and Watching their Opportunity whilst that was drinking, they all Three fell on him, and threw him down upon his Back. Which done, Bess Dawney< no role > set her Knee against his Throat; Ann Duck< no role > This name instance is in set 3827. sat with her whole Weight upon his Stomach, and Bess Nash< no role > kneeled upon his Legs. She then picked his Pocket of Three Guineas and Twelve Shillings; which done, she said to Ann Duck< no role > This name instance is in set 3827. and Bess Dawney< no role > , I have spoke with him, meaning, she had got his Money: Whereupon Ann Duck< no role > This name instance is in set 3827. got immedidiately off his Stomach, as did likewise Dawney from his Throat, and at the same Time gave him a Kick on the Head.

Ann Duck< no role > then cry'd, D - n the Blood of a Bitch, he is not dead. To which Bess Dawney< no role > answered, D - n him but he is, as dead as a Door Nail. God forbid, said Bess Nash< no role > , (who it seems by her own Account, was not quite so bloody minded as her Sisters in Iniquity) wherefore did you kill the Man? You should not have done so. To which Ann Duck< no role > This name instance is in set 3827. answered, without any Concern - d d - n you, what else did you bring for, but first to rob, and then murder him.

WHEREUPON Bess Nash replyed, By G - d, we shall all be jamm'd *: Which making Bess Dawney< no role > apprehensive she might blab out something of it, she cryed, D - n your E - s, don't Whiddle ?, for if you do we certainly shall.

AFTER having thus perpetrated this cruel and inhuman Murder, in cold Blood, and without any Provocation, on a Man whose Good Nature would have moved any but Fiends, they all adjourned to the House of Ann Collier< no role > This name instance is in set 3826. , who was tried last Sessions but acquitted, and called for half a Pint of Gin. Having drank this they went up Stairs to Snack the Cole, and shar'd equally One Pounds Five Shillings each; which done, they came down again, and Ann Collier< no role > This name instance is in set 3826. asked them where they had been.

Ann Duck< no role > This name instance is in set 3828. , who was never at a Loss for a Lie, answered, They had been at a House in Whitelyon court with a Man whom Bess Nash< no role > had pick'd up, for they could not prevail on him to come to hers. For how much have you flung him, says Collier. About Fifteen Shillings, answered Duck, which made Collier very angry they did not bring him to her House. D - n your E - s, said she, you might have brought him to me, for I go under the Scandal of being a Lock and a Fence, and keeping a House of ill Fame, through such Whores and B - s as you, and all to no Purpose; so pray turn our (continues she) and fetch in some Culls, for I cannot afford to harbour you, unless you bring me in the Pece.

SO they all went from thence into Chick-lane , where they consulted how they should dispose of the murdered Carcase. If you will both go with me (says Duck to her Companions) as it is now quite dark, (it being then between Ten and Eleven o'Clock) we will move it ou of the empty House to the next Door, and lay it under the Window.

THIS Proposal was immediately agreed to, and put in Execution; and accordingly the Body was there found, and no body appearing to own it, was buried at the Parish of St. Sepulchre's, Middlesex, nor was it ever known to this Day who the murder'd Person was. In Effect, it is a Question whether even thus much had ever come to Light, had not Bess Nash< no role > , who is now in Clerkenwell Bridewell , made this Confession.

* That is, Hang'd.

? That is, Impeach.
