they open'd the Parlour Window and got into the Street, and so went of.

Robert Blake< no role > , and Henry Geahogan< no role > , alias Gorgan< no role > , of St. Brides , were indicted for High Treason, in counterfeiting and making 13 Pieces of Money, call'd Shillings, of Copper, Tin, Brass, Pewter, and other mix'd Metals, bearing the Stamp, and made after the Likeness and Similitude of the current Coin of Great Britain, and for making six other Pieces of Money, call'd Six-pences, as aforesaid, and knowing the same to be false, base Money, and Counterfeit, putting off the said Money for the current Coin of Great Britain.

Henry Geahogan< no role > , 30 Years of Age, of mean Parents, his Father having been a Coachman, left him Young upon the Care of his Mother, who educated him at School, and who, after he had acquir'd some considerable Skill in Writing a fair Hand, commenc'd a Writing-master in the North of Ireland , where (as he said) he got pretty good Business, and liv'd there a considerable Time, retaining the Character and Reputation of an honest, industrious young Man; but either his Business failing, or he loving a travelling Life, and desirous to see the World, went to Foreign Countries, and visited France , Spain , Germany , Holland , and other neighbouring Kingdoms and States of Europe; and as he was in Flanders two or three Years ago, one of his own Countrymen taught him the curious Art of coining Money, which, when he came to England , his Business failing him, he intended to follow and improve his Art and Skill that way. He said, that another Countryman recommended him to Mr. Blake, for being his Usher, and Assistant in teaching young Gentlemen to fence with the small Sword, in which Art both of them profess'd themselves to be great Masters of Skill; But when Mr. Geohagan went to Blake's School near the Temple , not one Schollar appeared, after they had attended for some Days; then Geahogan took himself to his other Business of coining Money, and told Blake what a dextrous Hand he had in casting of fine Pieces, which they might pass for good Coin, and by that Means they might live easily and perhaps acquire Riches, by imposing upon all the rest of Mankind. But that Proposal soon fail'd them. He had been a very wicked Fellow in Drinking, Swearing, Whoring, disobeying his Mother, who had educated him, and many other Vices. He beat and drag'd his old Mother, who was try'd with him for High Treason, and acquitted, very unmercifully, and for doing so he was put and kept in Bridewell a long Time, and by this Imprisonment having lost what little Credit he had before, when he was set at Freedom, he apply'd himself with his Accomplices to the counterfeiting and passing off bad Money, and for that end provided himself in Moulds, Files, Crucibles, and other Materials fit for his wicked Purpose, as appear'd by the Evidence which was given against him. He was miserably Poor, sick, and destitute of Cloathing. He constantly attended in Chappel, behav'd himself Gravely and decently, and profess'd himself Penitent for all his Sins. He was very unwilling to forgive his Prosecutor, and shaking his Head, when that was propos'd to him, at different Times, he said, that he would not do till the last; accordingly, on Saturday before he died, with much Intreaty, I got him freely to forgive all his Enemies. He declar'd, that he believ'd in Christ his only Saviour, repented sincerely of all his Sins, and died in Peace with all the World, and in Communion of the Church of Rome .

John Edmonds< no role > , of Harrow-on-the-Hill , was indicted for feloniously stealing a black Gelding, Value 4 l. on the 15th Day of February last , the Property of Miles Lewis< no role > .

John Edmonds< no role > , 25 Years of Age, born near Harrow-on-the-Hill , of mean Parents, who were not Capable to give him much Education, liv'd by serving of Gardiners , and Husband-work in the Country. He had been accustomed to pilfering and stealing of small things, but had not committed any great Robbery, excepting the Horse which he stole, and for which he died, and which he did not deny. He was Disobedient to his Parents, and did not keep the School well, was grosly Ignorant, and seldom frequented the Church. He was Silly and Foolish, and spoke like one void of all Sense. I endeavour'd what I could to instruct him, but he was of such a slow and dull Apprehension, that he was scarce capable of understanding any thing at all. He constantly attended in Chapel and appear'd attentive, but was so full of Stupidity, that it could not be expected he could profit much. He declar'd himself Penitent, that he believed in Christ, and died in Peace with all the World.

William Lythe< no role > , of St. Georges's, Hanover-Square , was indicted for feloniously stealing two Geldings, Value 50 l. on the 23d of January last , the Property of John Sentamore< no role > .

William Lythe< no role > , 45 Years of Age, born in Yorkshire , of honest Parents, who gave him good Education at School, and instructed him in the Principles of Christianity. He was not of any particular Trade, but marrying a Wife, he had some Children, and kept a publick Inn on the Road, and failing in his Business, he was oblig'd to leave his Family and come up to London , where he serv'd for two Years past, till he fell into the sad Misfortune, for which he died. He said, that he never was a lewd Liver, but kept a good Family with his Wife and Children in the Country, read the Word of God, went to Church, and that he had frequently taken the Sacrament; neither was he ever a Thief or Robber, but that he always liv'd in good Character and Reputation. As to the Fact for which he died, he said, that he did not steal the two Horses, but that he own'd that he gave the Key of the Stable to another Person, who had gone off with the Horses, by the Persuasion of two Men. I told him, that he had no Body to blame but himself for his Misfortune, if it was so, but this Account of the Matter seeming improbable, I exhorted him to make a free Confession, and to glorify God by so doing. He would not acknowledge any more, but as I daily visited him in the Cell, (for he was so afflicted with Sickness and Lameness, that he never came to Chapel) he appear'd very Devout, and was very attentive to Prayers and Exhortations. He died Penitent in appearance, believ'd to be sav'd only through the Merits of Jesus Christ, freely forgiving all Injuries done him, as he expected Forgiveness from Almighty God.

Peter Kelly< no role > , alias Owen< no role > , alias Nisbit< no role > , of Thomas-street , Drury-Lane , was indicted, for that he not having the fear
