THE Ordinary of NEWGATE his ACCOUNT of the Behaviour, Confessions, and Last Dying Words of the Malefactors that were Executed at Tyburn, on Wednesday the 14th of March, 1722 .

AT the Sessions held at Justice-Hall in the Old-Bayly, and which began Feb. 28th, were Convicted of Capital Crimes, 13 Persons; viz. W. Burridge; J. Roberts; J. James; T. Picket; J. Applebie; R. Winter. E. Claxton; G. Bishop; J. Lanman; S. Armstong; W. Edwards; R. Drumman; T. Plowman. Three of these being young Boys, and Four others being found proper Objects of His Majesty's Clemency, the six First were order'd for Execution, agreeable to the Sentence pronounc'd upon them by Law.

Some of them during the Time that they lay unde Sentence of Death, frequently complain'd of the great Interruption and Disturbance, occasioned by those who had an assur'd Expectation of a Reprieve, which prevented the hearing William Burridge< no role > when he read the Scriptures and Prayers to those who desir'd him; adding, that they could not but regret their great Misfortune in having no Place or Corner to retire unto, or to be private in, from the foolish and idle Clamor of some of their Companions. But some of those who were certain of a Reprieve, found themselves dismally diceived, when the Warrant was carried to the Prison; yet so strongly had their Friends flatter'd them with the Hopes of Life, and so deeply was the Assurance settled in their Minds, that they could not credit the Account, or make themselves immagine they should suffer Death, tho' they were not without those among them, whose filthy Distempers occasion'd by their Vices and Lewdness, made this Life as Uneasy to them, as the next must be fearful and terrible.

They were advised not to trouble their Minds with difficult Questions, tho' of some Importance, but considering the great Work they had to perform, and the time they had to compleat it in, to set ernestly about the main and necessary Duties of Repentance and turning to God. This
