THE ORDINARY of NEWGATE'S ACCOUNT of the Behaviour, Confession, Etc.

BY virtue of the King's commission of the peace, Oyer and Terminer, and jail-delivery of Newgate , held before the right honourable Stephen Theodore Janssen< no role > , esq ; lord-mayor of the city of London , the lord chief justice Rider, Mr. justice Clive, Mr. baron Legge, William Moreton< no role > , esq; recorder , and others of His Majesty's justices of Oyer and Terminer, for the city of London, and justices of jail-delivery of Newgate, holden at Justice-hall in the Old-Bailey , on Wednesday the 9th, Thursday the 10th, Friday the 11th, and Saturday the 12th of April, in the 28th year of His Majesty's reign, Francis Pryer< no role > , John West< no role > , William Powel< no role > , William Darlow< no role > , alias Barlow< no role > , William George< no role > , and Joseph Gould< no role > , were capitally convicted, and received sentence of death accordingly.

Their behaviour, as far as I saw, during the time between conviction and execution, was quite composed. They appeared to pray heartily, when at prayers in chapel, and attended constantly every day, when not hindered by sickness; and it has pleased God to afflict them all at times, except Pryer and West.

On Tuesday the 6th instant, the report of the six malefactors was made to the lords of the regency by the recorder of the city of London, when they were pleased to command that execution should be done of Francis Pryer< no role > , John West< no role > , William Powel< no role > , William George< no role > ,
