THE ORDINARY of NEWGATE'S ACCOUNT of the Behaviour, Confession, and Dying Words, &c.

BY virtue of the King's Commission of the peace, and Oyer and Terminer for the City of London, and at the General Sessions of Gaol Delivery of the City of London and County of Middlesex at Justice-hall in the Old-Bailey , before the Right Hon. Sir Matthew Blakiston< no role > , Knt. Lord-Mayor ; the Hon. William Noel< no role > , Esq; one of the Justices of the Court of Common Pleas ; Sir William Moreton< no role > , Knt.

DONALD CAMPBELL< no role > , was indicted for falsely forging and counterfeiting a certain bill of exchange, with the name of Peter Dacey< no role > thereunto subscribed, for the payment of one hundred pounds; and for publishing the same, with an intent to defraud John Calcraft< no role > , Esq; August 18th .

He answered short, "that wou'd appear when his trial came on." This was a trifling and vain reserve, as every servant about
