An Account of the Sentence which passed upon TITUS OATS (Upon Conviction of Horrid Perjuries) At the King's Bench-Bar, Saturday May 16th. 1685. ALSO, A Relation of his Behaviour in the King's Bench-prison ever since his Convictions, (viz.) May 8, & 9 YOu lately had some account of his Convictions for Perjury, and also the clear proof that was against him; But here (together with an account of his Punishment,) is a true Relation of his Behaviour both Then, and since, (viz.) He was first brought by Coach from the Prison with a strong Guard, and carried to the Sun Tavern in K. street, where he stayed till the Court sat; then to the Hall where (during the whole Trial) he behaved himself most impudently: Then he returned to the same House, and refreshed himself; From thence he took Coach for his return to Prison, but the Rabble soon espied him, and followed him with huge Exclamation, crying aloud, Hang the Rogue, let him go no further; O the bloody Villain that hath been the death of so many Innocent Men, besides the Ruin of so many poor Families; and so continued till they came to Ivey bridge in the Strand, where they began to abuse the very Officer that guarded him from their Fury, insomuch, that with hazard of their own lives; they got him out of the Coach, and clapped him into the next Boat, and so got him safe to the Prison; where he no sooner came, but he again began his old way of Raillery against the King and Government, and was in so great passion, that for that Night he slept little; And the next morning being brought up by Water, (for they would not venture themselves by Land,) and catryed to the same House, he still retained his old Impudence, and carried it along with him even into the very Court, as appeared by his impertinent Questions, and Reflections upon those worthy Persons who gave Testimony against him. Upon the second Conviction, he withdrew again to the Sun-tavern, where, to avoid the tumult, they stayed somewhat late, then slipped him into a Boat, and so conduct him safe to the Prison; where he remained very sullen, and more abusive than ever, his old Cronies hardly escaping his ill language, etc. He held up his Table daily to Two good Dishes, and a plentiful supply of good Liquors, often saying, They shall never make him refrain his Meat and Drink, etc. He is grown very malicious, insomuch that they watch him every night, lest he may have hid a remnant of the Poison he gave the Keeper's Dog; But as for the 35 Fathom of Rope, That is reserved for him, against he has occasion to make use of part of it. On Saturday the 16th. instant, this famous swearing-master was again brought by Water to the Sun-tavern, and as soon as the Court sat, was brought in; where he seemed somewhat abated of his former Insolence, and pretended Four several Errors, (as he would have them) and begged time for 3, or 4, days to Argue them; But was Answered he had longer time than the Court usually allowed; Then he begged till Monday, but that the Court did not allow, being altogether Impracticable; Then the L. C. J. most Learnedly set forth the Sin of Perjury, as also the dreadful Consequences, and Dire Effects it lately wrought upon these 3 Kingdoms; telling them, that in former Ages, Perjury was present Death; But after (for some Reasons,) was mitigated to cutting the Tongue, etc. But since That, it was again mitigated, not but the Crime was as great as ever; It never being supposed that any Person could be so damnably Impudent, as falsely to swear any Man out of his very Life, or Estate. When this was ended, they pronounced Sentence, which was thus, (viz.) That he should for ever be Degraded, and forthwith stripped of all his Priestly Habits. That he should stand in the Pillory before Westminster-hall-gate on Monday the 18th. instant, one hour, (between the hours of 10 and 12,) with a Paper on his Head, written, Perjury, Perjury, twice; and walk round the Hall with the said Paper on his Head. On Tuesday the 19th. to stand an hour in the Pillory, (between 11 and 1) before the Royal Exchange, with the same Inscription over his Head. On Wednesday the 20th. to be Whipped from Aldgate to Newgate. And on Thursday the 21th. to be Whipped from Newgate to Tyburn. On Friday the 22th. to stand in the Pillory at Tyburn, with the same Inscription of Perjury over his Head, his Face towards Tyburn. And for these Two Perjuries to pay a 1000 Marks for each Perjury, and to abide in Prison. And when he hath performed this Ceremony, he is to stand in the Pillory Three times Annually, (viz.) On the 9th. of August, at Charing-cross, with his Inscription, etc. On the 22th. of September over-against the Templegate, with the same Inscription over his Head. On the 24th. of April at Westminster-hall-gate, with the Inscription over his Head, etc. Perjury, Perjury, etc. Note, He is to perform these three last shows Annually, and be kept a close Prisoner during Life.
