THE ORDINARY of NEWGATE his ACCOUNT, Of the Behaviour, Confession, and dying Words of the Malefactors, who were executed at Tyburn, on Monday the 1st, of this Instant June, 1730 .

AT the King's Commission of Oyer and Terminer, and Gaol-Delivery of Newgate, held (before the Right Honourable Sir Richard Brocas< no role > , Knt . Lord-Mayor of the City of London ; the Hon. Mr. Justice Page; the Worshipful Mr. Serjeant Raby; and others his Majesty's Justices of Oyer and Terminer, and Gaol-Delivery for the City of London, and Gaol-Delivery of Newgate, holden for the said City and County of Middlesex) at Justice-Hall in the Old-Bailey , on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, being the 13th , 14th , and 15th of May, 1730 , in the third Year of his Majesty's Reign.

Two Men, viz. John Doyle< no role > and John Young< no role > , and one Woman, viz. Anne Bambrey< no role > , were by the Jury convicted of capital Offences, and receiv'd Sentence of Death.

In order to prepare for Death, they were exhorted to consider Seriously what a great Change they were to undergo, that they were to pass from Time to Eternity; from a known to an unknown State, to a State of eternal Happiness, or never ending Misery; and therefore it nearly concern'd them, and it was their greatest Interest, to secure to themselves a Portion in that everlasting Kingdom, which is prepared as an Inheritance to the Saints in Light, and to chuse that better Part which could never be taken from them, since upon the Improvement or Mis-improvement of their few remaining Moments, no less depended than their eternal Happiness, or everlasting Misery in another World. They having given themselves to a lewd and dissolute Manner of Life, and consequently not having much Knowledge in Religion, whether as to Speculation or Practice, I instructed them in religious Principles, necessary to be known by us, both as Men and Christians. I insisted upon the Evil of Theft and Robbery, shewing them how contrary to reasonable Beings, how Destructive of all Order and Society, and of what pernicious Consequences it was to those, who, because of their vicious Inclinations, were so far abandon'd of God, as to betake themselves to such villainous Courses, entailing Misery and Infamy upon themselves, bringing Disgrace to their Families and Relations, and a shameful and ignominious Death on them in this World, and, which is infinitely worse, provoking God to pour forth his Vengeance and fiery Indignation, which shall devour the Adversary upon their Souls and Bodies in the Life to come, if Repentance and a sincere Resolution of new Obedience and Holiness in all manner of Life and Conversation, by the Grace of God, prevent it not.

John Young< no role > , having not only robb'd, but unmercifully beaten and left Mr. Stinton for dead to perish in a Ditch, into which he had thrown him, I took Occasion to shew them, that Theft and Robbery was commonly attended with innumerable other, the worst of Sins; such as a tendency to, and frequently an actual Commission of the Sin of Murder, and a continual Practice of lying, drinking, whoring, with many other infamous Vices: Whence it appears, that they who addict themselves to such wicked Lives, are most vile abandon'd Wretches, and averse to every thing which is good. I insisted upon the great Evil, the Barbarity, the Cruelty, the Inhumanity of Murder; and particularly in the Case of attacking People upon the Highway, whom they had never seen, at whom they could not entertain any Grudge, as altogether unknown to them, and whom they set upon without any the least Provocation; and yet Young's Case was still more aggravating, who decoy'd an innocent Person, his Friend and particular Acquaintance, who trusted and put Confidence in him, who had been in his Company for two or three Days before, and who led him out of his Road into a private Place, where he took the Advantage of him, knock'd him down unawares in a barbarous manner, shot him and push'd him into a Ditch, where he must needs have perish'd, if the Providence and Goodness of God had not favour'd him. I instructed them in the Nature of the Christian Sacraments, both of Baptism and the Lord's Supper, how they are Seals of the Gospel Covenant, and Pledges of all those Blessings procured to us by the Sufferings and Death of our Lord Jesus.

When these and many like Exhortations were us'd, they all attended punctually in Chapel, and Young and Doyle made regular Responses, and the Woman was very attentive, but could not read. Doyle did not seem so deeply affected as the other two, yet, as I preach'd upon Faith, Repentance and Death, and some such serious Subjects, all the three shed plenty of Tears, and appear'd mightily affected with their miserable Circumstances. They behav'd much more civily and modestly, than most of those notorious Robbers and Highway men use to do. Doyle having been under some faint Hopes of a Reprieve, because he alledg'd, that there was something Singular in his Case; yet when all Hopes vanish'd, he took things so much to Heart, that his Body was on a sudden seiz'd all over with Pains; but of this he soon recover'd, and the Reason why he was so much troubl'd, might have been, because he saw one of his nearest Friends neglect his Business, and refuse to take any proper Methods for procuring any Favour to him; but this he never spoke of, and did not in the least resent.

Upon Thursday the 28th of May , the Report of the three Malefactors under Sentence of Death in Newgate, was made to his Majesty in Council, when Anne Bambrey< no role > , of St. Sepulchre's , for privately stealing two gold Rings, value 12 s. a silk Handkerchief, value 1 s. and a Waistcoat, from the Person of Roger Smith< no role > , the 30th of April last , receiv'd his Majesty's most Gracious Reprieve. The other two, viz. John Doyle< no role > and John Young< no role > , were order'd for Execution.

John Doyle< no role > , was Born in the Town of Carrlough in the Kingdom of Ireland and of very honest Parents who
