, were capitally convicted, and received Sentence of Death accordingly.
The Behaviour of these unhappy Wretches, as far as I can answer for it, was not otherwise than would become People in their Circumstances. Boroughs, Bertie, Grover, and Atkins were present at Divine Service every Day, unless Sickness prevented, and appeared attentive and devout. Carr. Butler, and Carney, being of the Romish Persuasion
, were attended as usual by a proper Person.
