had endeavoured to charge innocent people, as concerned with him in robbing the mail.

His behaviour in general, was such as became his unhappy situation, and he constantly attended the duties of the chapel in a decent humble manner. He was ready to receive my instructions and advice, and frequently shed tears when he reflected on what he had done. He desired to be instructed in the design of the holy communion, for which purpose proper portions of scripture were read and explained to him, and he was duly satisfied with my admonitions on the subject, and warned not to dissemble.

He was admitted to the Lord?stable on Sunday the 5th of July , where he behaved as with a real sense of his crimes, calling upon God to have mercy on his soul. In this humble state of mind, praying for the forgiveness of his sins, he remained till the morning of his execution. He was 27 years of age.

3. William Siday< no role > (with William Paris< no role > ) was indicted for breaking and entering the dwelling house of Mary Fisher< no role > .

It appears by the evidence of an accomplice, that they went to Mr. Brake?s, who keeps a public-house at the sign of the Sun-dial in Goswellstreet , about a quarter before seven in the morning, where they had a pint of beer. That the accomplice watched when his mother went out, and told Paris, Now it is time to go. That Paris went and opened the door with a false key, and went in, and Siday followed him; that he waited near the door, until he saw Paris come out with a box upon his head, and a great coat; that they afterwards went to Paris?s lodgings in a court in Grub-street , and there they opened the box, in which they found six guineas and a half in money, and the things mentioned in the indictment, the property of a lodger in his mother?s house.

William Siday< no role > was born in Shortstreet , near Moorfields , and served his time to a Printer ; which business he followed with diligence and attention, until within these three years; during that time he had been guilty of many burglaries. He particularly owned that he was concerned in the robbery of Mr. Greenfield, linen-draper, in Fleet-street ; and that he (with his brother, and Luke Canon< no role > , since executed) committed the robbery in the house of Mr. Stafford. Being asked, if the maid-servant, who was suspected, let them into the house or not? He declared, that she was innocent, for it was Cannon, who had been a servant to Mn. Stafford, that proposed the committing the robbery, and as he knew the house, conducted them there; that they went down into the area, and got into it.

As soon as he found himself included in the death-warrant, with the other convicts, he wept and lamented much, was exceeding sorry for his past sinful life, acknowledged the justness of his sentence, and said that he had deserved to die before.
