Mary Caborne proceedingsdefend Indicted for Clipping several pieces of money . She very obscurely used to follow this too fatal Employ, when the supposed the secresie of a dark Night was her chiefest friend, and would often, to supply the craying importunities of sin, diminish the King's Coin. She had no small acquaintance of that bad profession, and would very often pay Debts and Rent in new Clipt money, her Implements for such occasions were found in her Apartments, with several new pieces of money Clipt. The Jury, upon so plain an Evidence as appeared against the Prisoner, brought her in Guilty of Treason, and accordingly she received sentence of Death , as the Law in such Cases awards.
