session he did not know, who told him, that it was the only way to help himself, and be less beholding to his friends.

Being disappointed in the loan of a few guineas for a while, his family wanting, and the fear of being arrested, together with the fair speeches of his fellow convict, made him yield to his advice. But he should have preferred rather to be in goal for debt, than house-breaking.

He owned that he was concerned in this, and two other robberies in town, and in no more, or in any other place.

Being desired to ask him, If he knew any thing of the robbery in Bristol? he said, he was in town when it was done; and that Adshead told him, that he did it by himself. That Adshead had given him a watch (one that he had brought from Bristol) which he had pawned for a guinea; and the duplicate being found upon him, gave rise to the suspicion that he had been concerned with him. But that was the whole truth of the matter.

The general behaviour of this convict must be acknowledged was indifferent at times, as he fed himself up with a notion that his friends would save his life. He was frequently desired to tell, if he had ever heard Adshead declare who bought the things, or where they were pledged? he said, he did not, or if he did, he would not own it left that they might be brought into trouble.

Too much given like his fellow sufferer, to think that as his life was forfeited by the laws of his country, he had no right to make restitution, if in his power, to the injured party: By this manner of reasoning, the reader is left to form his own opinion on this convict's behaviour during the time of his being under sentence of death. He was 37 years of age.

Morning of Execution.

I VISITED the prisoners about half past six, when they were brought down from their cells.

Allsworth, Adshead, and Paris did not appear so serene and composed, as I could have wished to have seen them. Being asked how they did, and how they found themselves under their present alarming circumstances? Paris answered, He was very well, and found himself quite easy, indeed too much so, being little or nothing concerned, which he could not account for; but was rather sorry it was not otherwise with him. He thought he was worse now than he had been, even when the death warrant was first made known to him. After they had washed and refreshed themselves, their irons were loosened, to prepare them for going up to chapel. Being all ready we went up to chapel, with two or three christian friends, who attended. Guyant was so ill that it was with difficulty he was got up, being obliged to be assisted by two persons.

Before the administration of the sacrament, they were recommended in prayer to look to the bleeding Sacrifice, the Lord Jesus, for pardon and forgiveness of all their sins, and
