At the PLACE of EXECUTION.

ON Monday, December the 31st , between 9 and 10 in the Morning, Darby Long< no role > , John Richardson< no role > , and Catharine Connor< no role > , in one Cart; Thomas Proctor< no role > , and John Ross< no role > in another; John Watling< no role > , William Tidd< no role > This name instance is in set 1128. , and William Dawson< no role > , in a third; John Foster< no role > , Anthony Byrne< no role > , and John Carbold< no role > , in a fourth; Little Will , Benjamin Beckenfield< no role > This name instance is in set 3571. , and John Newcombe< no role > , in a fifth Cart; and William Baker< no role > in a mourning Coach; went from Newgate to the Place of Execution. They all behaved very decently all that while, except William Tidd< no role > This name instance is in set 1128. , who, I presume, for want of Consideration what he was about, shewed some Levity, unbecoming a Person so near his last Moments. When the Executioner had tied them all up to the fatal Tree, some Time was spent in recommending them to the Divine Protection; and then the Carts were drawn from under them, incessantly, while Breath lasted, calling on God, and Jesus Christ, to hear their Cry, and to receive their Souls. When they were cut down, their Bodies were delivered to their Friends; Mr. Baker's was carried away in a Hearse, Watling's and Carbold's in another, were carried down to their own Country; only Connor, and two others, 'tis said, were taken for the Use of the Surgeons. And the Execution was done with as little Noise and Disturbance as the Nature of so tragical a Scene will admit.

This is all the Account given by me, JOHN TAYLOR< no role > , Ordinary of Newgate
