THE EXECUTION OF james Halloway: Who was Drawn, Hanged and Quartered at Tyburn For High-Treason, On Wednesday, the 30th. of this Instant April. 1684  
JAmes Halloway, was one of those Execrable Villains who by a late horrid and Diabolical, Conspiracy against all the Laws of God and Nature? the sacred Obligations of Duty and Allegience to so good a Prince: Plotted and designed the murder of his Most Sacred Majesty, and his Illustrious Brother the Duke of York, and the utter subversion of this Imperial Monarchy both in Church and State. But such was the abundant mercy of Almighty God, whose Divine Providence more Eminently shields and defends the Thrones and Lives of Princes (his own Vicegerents) all their damned machinations were brought to Light, and all the steps they had made in this their Hellish Conspiracy detected and prevented: And as several other False Traitors have upon their Trials been convicted, attainted and executed, according to Law, so Vengeance in due time overtook this Notorious Criminal though he had fled from Justice, and the deserved punishment of such Notorious Treasons.  
He was born at Warwick, and afterwards put Apprentice to a Linen-draper and lived at Bristol, where he always appeared a zealous man, for promoting and encouraging Sedition in the Government, and Schism in the Church. Upon the discovery of the late Plot, divers of the Conspirators having notice of Warrants issued out for their apprehension absconded themselves, and made their Escape, and amongst others, James Halloway fled to Neavis in the West-Indies, where he changed his Name, and disguised his Person: But his Correspondent there, either from Principles truly Just and Loyal, or from some heats & animosities which arose between them upon the Stateing their accounts, discovered him to the Honourable Colonel Burt Deputy Governor, to be that false Trey for James Halloway, who immediately seized him, and sent him over a prisoner to England.  
On Monday the 21st of this Instant April; he was brought from Newgate to Westminster-hall, and at the Kings-bench bar was demanded what he had to say for himself, why Execution should not be awarded against him, he standing at the same time attainted by Outlary, upon an Indictment of High-Treason for Conspiring the Death of the King, and the utter Ruin and Subversion of the Government, etc. he desired to hear the Indictment read, which was accordingly done. Mr. Attorney General, then acquainted the Court that his Majesty was graciously pleased in mercy to the prisoner to wave the Outlary, and to allow him liberty to make a defence for himself, if he were able to make any but he having nothing to say for himself, and confessing the said Indictment, the Court then made a Rule that he should be Executed on this day at Tyburn, as an Arch-traitor, by being drawn, hanged, and quartered.  
During the time of his Imprisonment, especially after he was under a State of Condemnation, he behaved himself with modesty & penitence, but very reserved, not confessing any particular but in general Terms acknowledged himself guilty of that Treason for which he stood outlawed, and the punishment awarded him by Rule of Court to be Just upon him.  
On the 30th. of this Instant April, being Wednesday, he was drawn upon a Sledge to Tyburn, and there Executed as a Traitor.
