He was above 20 Years of Age, of a Grave and Sober Deportment; tho', as he lay so long, and the Fact was committed some time ago, he was in expectation of receiving his Majesty's Repreive for 99 Years; but yet he no way neglected the Performance of his Duty; and excited Nunny frequently to joyn with him particular Forms of Prayer. As he was furnish'd by his Friends with considerable number of Books, he had the better Opportunity of reading instructive Things to his Companion under his Misfortunes. Frequently too he check'd those Strangers who were for a short time in the Place of Condemnation, when they us'd any vile or lewd, or indecent Discourse; nor was any Person disguised in Liquor in the Condemn'd-Hold during the whole time that he continu'd there, as I was assur'd.

The Morning of his Execution, I administred the Sacrament to him, and his Deportment then was very grave compos'd and commendable; afterwards being desired by some Gentlemen to Question him touching some Robberies of which he was suspected, I took him into my Closet, and discovering to him what I intended thereby, he with much ready and seeming Sincerity confess'd himself Guilty of the following Burglaries and Fellonies, in particular which he could now call to Mind.

A House near the Waterside, in George-street, York-Buildings .

The House of the Reverend Mr. Raymour Curate of St. James's Westminster .

A Merchant's House in Winchester-street .

Brigadier Grove's House near, St. James's .

A Stone Cutters House in Chiswell-street , and Mr. Folwell's in Spittle-Fields , and own'd to have taken thence to the value of Ninety Pounds, but did not describe the Amount of what he took out of any other House; this last was the Offence he was convicted of.

He was convey'd in a Mourning-Coach to the Place of Execution, and the other Criminal in a Cart.

An ACCOUNT of the Behaviours of the Malefactors at the Place of Execution.

RICHARD TRANTHAM< no role > own'd the Fact of which he was Convicted, and beg'd pardon and forgiveness of Mr. Folwell, and others whom he had in any Sort injur'd, and express'd much Concern, that it was out of his Power to make Restitution to the many People he had wrong'd, for that, what he was possess'd of would be very inconsiderable divided among so many; and therefore he should choose to leave the little he had to his Wife, who has one Child already, and is big with another; he recommended to the Spectators to be warn'd by his unhappy Fate and pray'd that no Reflectious might be cast on his honest Parents for his untimely Death, as they had no in no Sort countenanced him in those Practices that Terminated in untimely Death, he desir'd the Prayers of the People, and then I left him to his private Devotions. His Body when cut down was put in a Hearse to be buried at Mitcham in Surry , he having a House there.

LUKE NUNNY< no role > , who always came to the Chappel, tho' he would not joyn in Prayer, or Communion with the other Criminal died of the Communion in the Church of Rome, and asking him at the Place of Execution, whether he repented seriously of the Crime he was to suffer for: He said he knew not whether he was guilty or not, that he was so drunk at the time thau he could not Account for any thing that happen'd, that he had no Knife, and never was in the Company with the deceas'd before, and that one of the Company had affirm'd the Knife to be his. He was very earnest in his own way of Devotion, and took no notice of any Questions put by me or any other.

This is all the Account that can be given by me
