During the Time of their Confinement in the Cells, they willingly attended at the Chapel, and to outward Appearance joined with me in Prayer; but yet none of them were so seriously and deeply affected with a Sense of their deplorable and undone Condition, as they ought to have been, and as would have become Reasonable Creatures, under such Melancholly Circumstances.

Ann Armstrong< no role > , (convicted for stealing a silver Tankard in the Dwelling-House of Mr. Coster, in Grub-street ) behaved with more apparent Signs of some Sense of her Condition, than any of the rest.

Arthur Bethell< no role > was very thoughtless and foolish; he and John Clark< no role > , alias Jack the Catcher, frequently behaved ill, and gave Offence to others, but upon their being reproved, their Behaviour was more decent.

Samuel Badham< no role > was seized with an Illness which continued upon him three or four Days: When I visited him he told me he was sensible of, and penitent for the Murder he had committed; but notwithstanding his Declarations, he was not duly affected with his unhappy Condition.

On Tuesday the 29th of July , Report was made to the Lord Justices of the Seven Malefactors then under Sentence, when their Excellencies were pleased to reprieve,

Ann Armstrong< no role > , who was convicted for stealing a silver Tankard in the Dwelling-House of William Coster< no role > , in the Parish of St. Giles's, Cripplegate , May the 16th .

Arthur Bethell< no role > , otherwise Bethwin< no role > , otherwise Barwin< no role > , for assaulting Edward Edwards< no role > on the Highway, putting him in Fear, and taking from him a Silver Watch, value 3 l. and 3 s. in Money, April the 26th .

Susannah Brammah< no role > , of St. George's, Hanover-square , for stealing a Parcel of Linnen, Rings, and Money, to a con
