Persons might receive Satisfaction, as to the Persons who robb'd them, at least, if not as to their Goods lost: And being told farther, that 'twas in vain for him to fancy his Repentance was sincere, unless he was Candid and Ingenious, and took the shame due to his Offences upon himself; (whatever Ill-designing People might tell Malefactors to the contrary;) he, upon this, said, he was ready to give any Account of his Robberies that should be required of him.

He declar'd, That he robb'd a Man of 4 Pounds of find Snuff, and of his Hat and Wig, by Pancrass , but being very Drunk, as he was going to rifle the Man's Pockets, he slipt backwards, and the Man ran away; he had no Pistol. The same Evening, he robb'd a Person of a Watch, near the same Place. Two Days after, they robb'd a Man and a Woman between Highgate and Holloway ; the Man of 2 s. and some Copper; the Woman of a fine Hat and Holland Apron; from whence they ran cross the Fields, and over the Ditches, fancying they should be pursu'd; but finding it otherways, they fell to robbing again about Kentish-Town .

He also said, That before his Comrade and himself robb'd Mr. Cowel by Islington, he begg'd his Companion not to attack him, for he thought he knew him, and after they ad robb'd him of his Hat and Wig, was for throwing the Hat away, for fear of Discovery. The Robbery, he said, that afford'd them most Booty, was a little above 6 Weeks ago, between the Bowling-Green and the Burying Ground beyond Lambs Conduit; where they took from a single Person a Watch, some Money, a Plate-button'd Coat, a Cane, and a Wig, in value about 10 l.

He remaind very desirous of taking upon himself the Robbery committed on Thomas Ackersly< no role > , of his Hautboy and Flagelet, as he came from Kentish-Town ; declaring that he robb'd him and threw the Haut boy away near the Road.

Tho' he had an uncommon roughness in his Aspect and Deportment, as well as a natural Surliness in his Temper; yet when the Prospect of Death was immediately before him, he appear'd very desirous of making his Peace with God, and informing himself in the Requisities to Repentance; never that I know of Absenting from the Prayers, but preparing himself with much Care for the Reception of the Holy Sacrament before he died.
