4. Mary Ship< no role > , condemn'd for robbing and stripping Naked two Infants, upon the King's Highway, on the 18th of March last . She said, she was about 24 Years of Age, born in the Parish of St. Mary Magdalen Bermondsey , and of late Years liv'd in East-Smithfield : That she often help'd her Mother, who nurs'd Children , and at other times went to Washing and Scuoring ; by which Means she got a Livelihood, tho' a very poor one; and, That it was meer Poverty (but, as I observ'd her, it was more the want of Grace) that occasion'd her committing this cruel Fact. She was very ignorant, yet not insensible of her Fault, which she said she was very sorry, and beg'd Pardon for.

5. Francis Martin< no role > , alias Cushaw< no role > , (which latter he said was his right Name) condemn'd for stealing a Silk-Gown, and other Goods of John Hillersden< no role > , Esq ; and a Callico Gown and Petticoat of Mrs. Mary Philips< no role > ; on the 9th of April last . All which Things were in a Box in a Waggon, at the Swan Inn near Holbourn-bridge . He confess'd this Fact, and another Felony he had committed, and was burnt in the Hand for, above 2 Years ago, as it was prov'd against him in the Court; and therefore, having had the Benefit of the Statute then, it was deny'd him now; which made him at first uneasy, but at last he acknowleg'd he had Justice done him. He said, he was 30 Years of Age, born in Petticoat-lane , and of late Years liv'd in Barbican , and was a Button-maker by Trade. Upon my asking him, Why he was not, when burnt in the Hand, sent to Bridewell , he told me, They would not receive him there; and that was the reason he remain'd in Newgate till the 2 Years, he should have serv'd in Bridewell , were expir'd, which were so not very long since. I further asking him, How it came to pass that he did so soon return to his old wicked Way of Thieving, he reply'd, That when he committed this last Fact, he was in Drink. I gave him the best Advice I could, and endeavour'd to make him sensible and penitent of all his Sins; and I hope he was so.

He confess'd he was guilty of all these wicked Facts, and had committed several others of this nature, which he could not make any other Reparation for, than by submitting (as he did) patiently to this Shameful Death he was condemn'd to, and had justly deserv'd. He said, he was 52 Years of age, born at Nismes in Languedoc , but of late Years liv'd at Rotterdam , where he kept a Shop , and carried on a Trade; and, That he lately came into England to sell Hair for Perruques , he dealing much in that Commodity. He told me, That he had conceal'd his right Name, because he would not have it publickly known who he was, to the disgrace of his Family, part of which were here, part in Holland , and all of them good and honest laborious People. He could not speak English, but I discours'd him in French, and gave him the best ghostly Advice I could, which he seem'd readily to receive and comply with.
