place Directed, desiring the Tapster to Apprehend such Person as should come for it, which in same short time afterward was called by Brian O Cane< no role > , who declared he came from his Master John Watts< no role > , and being accordingly staid, gave Directions to find his Master, who was taken with the said peter Barnwell< no role > at Chelsey , and the Horse found at the Bear-Inn in Westminster , which was owned by Watts, and several of the Goods were found about Barnwell: Upon which the Evidence being plain against them, they were found Guilty

The Ordinary repaired to the Chamber of the said Watts and Barnwell Daily, for that they alledged they could not with so much Conveniency in preparation for Death appear in Publick with the other Criminals: Yet it proved more Effectual to them than to the Rest to appeared more Publickly, not. by reason so much of that Privacy, as because they had a better Temper of Mind, therefore the more fitted to receive the Impression of Divine Truth: For they had both of them better Education, and consequently were not so Ignorant in the Principles of Religion.

The said Persons stiled themselves Captains, having been Officers in War in Forreign Parts; when they were acquainted by the Ordinary that they were in the Warrant for Death, they received the Report not so much with a Romantick Courage, as with a true Christian Fortitude: And this he was the rather induced to hope because they did not seem to Repine that his Majesty?s sparing Mercy was extended unto others who stood under the like sentence of Condemnation with themselves. The Ordinary endeavoured to Convince them of the Greatness of their Crimes, in Robbing on the Highway, and thereby Distressing, and perhaps Ruining of others to supply their Extravagant and Soul Destroying Lusts.

Upon this, they replied that they never made Robbery a Custom, nor were they guilty of the Blood of any Man, their Natural Temper being far otherwise inclined; in as much that they utterly abhorred such Barbarity. They were very attentive to good Counsel, and much affected with several Prayers formed suitable to their Condition, several times Weeping, especially Captain Watts in the sense of lus Sins: Which the Ordinary observing, he commended him therein, in that it became him so to do: In as much as David tho a Man of War from his Youth, yet greatly Humbled himself before the Lord, wasting his Beard with his Tears: He said tho he were but 26 Years of Age, yet he was not very fond of his Natural Life, because he said if he Lived longer, greatly feared he should Offend God, in returning to his former vain Courses, contrary to his present Resolution, and thereby Increase his Account to God above.

II. Richard Jones< no role > , Who was Indicted for the Murder of Elizabeth Fairbanck< no role > Widdow ; in a Cellar she lived in at Pickadilly . The Evidence against him was that he the said Criminal, together with John Wise< no role > , who was Executed the last Sessions for the said Murder, and Confessed the same at the Gibbet, and one Charles Tooly< no role > , who since Died in Paris , did enter in April last on a Sunday in the Evening, about Nine of the Clock at Night in the Widdows Cellar, and there Barbarously Murdered her, by Breaking her Neck, and Grievously Bruising her in several parts of the Body; taking with them in Money and Goods, to the value of 60 l. several of which Goods was proved upon the Criminal, so that he had nothing to offer in his own Defence but was found Guilty.

After his Sentence the Ordinary having several times Exhorted 'him to a true and serious Repentance for the great and horrid Crime of Murder which he was plainly found Guilty of, not only by the proofs against him, but the Dying Words of Wife one of his Confederates therein, he strove to extenuate the same, as that he was tempted thereunto by Tooly, with whom he sled for the same into France, and where he was proselyted to the Romish Religion . Upon his return from whence he was quickly Apprehended, by the meanes of a Person whom he had formerly Robb'd of several Perruques, and for which he had been burnt in the Hand, same few Sessions since; the said Person coming into a Coffee House in Bishopgate-street near unto Bedlam where the said Jones was Drinking who espying the said Party made off as fast as be could but being persued was taken between Moregate and Crippelgate. So loud is the Cry of Bloud, that it seldom or never goes unpunished in this World. He did not express any great signs of Penitence but seemed rather in a dull and hardned Temper of Heart in which he continued to his Death.
