From the time of his sentence he behaved himself very penitently in Newgate , bewailing his ill-spent time, which now was like to bring him to a sorrowful and shameful End; owning that he had received much Benefit from the painful Endeavonrs of Mr. Ordinary, to whom he confess?d he had been Guilty of many Robberies on the High-way, but disowned that ever he was Guilty of Murder.

On Monday, between Seven and Eight in the morning, he was brought out of Newgate, put into a Cart, and drawn to the Gibbet that hath for some Years stood at Stamford Hill, near the great Road which leads to Ware

When there, besides several Answers and Confessions he made to the Sheriffs Officers and other, he desired the Assistance of a Minister; one being sent for, asked him several Questions, viz. If he had Repented him of his Sins? What Hopes he had of a future State? and what Religion he died of? To which he answered very readily and properly; and as to his Religion, That he hoped he was a true Catholick of the Church of England, a Protestant Catholick, or such like Words.

The Minister again ask?d, If he had confess?d all the Outrages that he had done? for that without Confession and Repentance, there was no Remission to be expected: that he would do well disburthen his Conscience, whether he did kill the Man, &c. To all which he answe?d, That he was in the Company when he was kill?d; That they were Four in all which had at that time been several hours upon the Road. Two of which were since taken and hang?d; That the Man who kill?d him, viz. one William Hancocke< no role > , is yet alive, and, as he supposed, in Warwick Gaol ; That the Constable, or he that was kill?d, come up, and took hold of Hancocks Bridle, who then discharged a Pistol, and kill?d him; That he himself was very near when it was done, but had no hand in his death.

He consest himself to have been Guilty of Adultery, Fornication, Swearing, Sabbath breaking, and other great Sins, for which he hoped he had repented: He de the ter to pray with him, and after that was ended, he went to the ad desiring the Prayers of all the Spectators, and soon after was truned off When ead, his Body was cut down, and put into a Frame of Iron fitted, as usual in such Cases, afterwards hung up again upon the Gibbet, where it now remains hanging.
