About a Week before Execution, upon searching their Irons, they were found sawed all in two Parts, which occasioned them to be chained down to the Floor; upon which a Remose seized them, and they made Discovery of the whole Plot.

It was accordingly so done, and then the Friends of such a one was called, and when they appeared the Body was cut down and taken away; and so on till they were all cut down and taken away; which prevented a good deal of Hurry and Disturbance.
