Twelvemonth since, he became acquainted with one Thomas Mills< no role > , (the Evidence against him) who enticed him into wicked Practices: That those Facts for which he now stood condemn'd were committed by him in company with the said Mills and Leatherton. Upon my admonishing him to do Right (so far as he could) to the Persons he had wrong'd, by restoring to them their stolen Goods, or letting them know how they were dispos'd of, he said, That Mills sold 'em, and gave him what he thought fit for his Share, which was little enough; but now he found he had his full Reward, as he justly deserv'd.

3. James< no role > (falsly call'd Jacob) Leatherton< no role > , alias Thomas Smith< no role > , condemn'd for the same Facts with Robert Evans< no role > , to which he also pleaded Guilty. He said, he was 21 years of age, born in the Parish of St. Giles in the Fields : That his Father, a Distiller , (when alive, and since his Death his Mother) imploy'd him in that Business, which he carefully attended, till of late years happening to be acquainted with Tho. Mills< no role > , (the Evidence against him) he was enticed by him to the commission of those Facts he now stood condemn'd for. Upon my putting him in mind that he had, before now, been under Sentence of Death, and obtain'd the Mercy of a Pardon, which I was sorry to see he had so ill improv'd, he own'd it, and said he heartily repented, and earnestly pray'd God, for Christ's sake, to forgive him both these, and all other his Sins; for he could make no Satisfaction for them.
