THE Ordinary of NEWGATE his ACCOUNT Of the Behaviour, Confessions, and last dying Words of the Malefactors that were Executed at Tyburn, on Monday the 24th, of September, 1722 .

AT the Sessions House in the Old-Bayly, were condemn'd to Dye, (on Wednesday, September the 12th , 15 Men, and 3 Women); of these, Thomas Etheridge< no role > and Edward Raymond< no role > , for Robbing on the Highway; Isaac Hulman< no role > , for Horse Stealing; Margaret Fisher< no role > This name instance is in a workspace. , for picking Daniel Macdonnel< no role > 's Pocket of thirteen Guineas, his Wages at Sea; Walker Green< no role > , for robbing her Mistress, M. Bugby, of two Gold Watches; (being three Men and two Women) received his Majesty's Reprieve; Anne Morris< no role > This name instance is in set 8520. , condemn'd for the Murther of her Bastard Child; dyed in the Prison, after confessing she was deliver'd in a Celler of a Female Child, begotten by one she had often conversed familiarly with before, without such a sad Consequence; adding, that she believ'd it would have been a healthful Child, but she kill'd it as it came into the World, before she threw it down into the Vault; and that the Child-Bed Linnen she held in her Hands, to shew at her Tryal, was provided in Newgate, in order to bring her off. Sometime before she dyed she lost her Reason.

During the Time they lay under Condemnation, they did not behave themselves any way unseemly at the Prayers; and tho' Wilson, and Lincoln (I was told) were both careless in the Condemn'd Hold, none but Oxer was unruly, or ever once molested their Prayers: Wilson, indeed, pretended to question the Being of a God, and would talk as if there was no Futurity, believing he should dye like the Bruits, but never in a violent way, to the Disturbance of their Prayers in that Miserable Place. I was assur'd that Benjamin Shambler< no role > made it his Business to read to Oxer, and others, who were wholy Ignorant; and he told me, that he often excited Matthias Brinsden< no role > to joyn with him in Prayers, and Psalms that he set; Brinsden, being (at first) continually in Bed, and regarding little but eating and Dozing, complaining of the Hardness of his Case, to be condem'd to dye for accidentally killing (as he said) a Woman, his Wife; and scorning; (as seem'd to others) to speak to, or pray with, Robbers and Plunderers.

Before their Execution, I spoke to some of the Pareiculars of their Case, from Duter. 32. 41, 42.

If I whet my glittering Sword, and my Hand take hold on Judgment; I will render Vengeance to mine Enemies, and will reward them that hate me.

I will make mine Arrows drunk with Blood, (and my Sword shall devour Flesh) and that with the Blood of the Slain, and the Captives.

From whence we consider'd,

First, The Resentment of the Almighty, that naturally pursues the Ungodly, and those who indulge in sensual Pleasures.

Secondly, If Vengeance naturally follows Sin, The Patience, and Submission, that ought to appear in the Sufferers, for their Vices.
