AN ACCOUNT OF THE Proceeding to Sentence AGAINST MILES PRANCE, FOR Wilful Perjury; Who was Sentenced in the COURT of King's-Bench, Westminster: UPON A Conviction, by his Own Confession, on the 15th. of June, 1686. In Wilfully Forswearing Himself at the TRIALS of Robert Green, Laurence Hill, and Henry Berry, &c In Relation to the MURDER of Sir Edmundbury Godfrey.  
MILES PRANCE, a Silver-Smith, having been the last Easter Term, Arraigned upon an Information of Wilful Perjury, Exhibited against him in the Court of Kings-Bench; for Wilfully Forswearing himself, against Robert Green, Lawrence Hill, and Henry Berry, etc. In Relation to their Murdering Sir Edmundbury Godfrey, and for which, upon his Oath, etc. they were Executed for the said Murder at Tyburn; and he, Confessing himself Guilty of the Perjury, specified in the said Information, was, on Tuesday the 15th of this Instant June, again brought to the Court of Kings-Bench, to receive his Sentence. The Court, having a while considered the heinousness of the Crime, and putting him in mind of it, told him it was well he was so sensible of his Offence, it being so great a one as to extend to the taking away the Lives of Innocent Persons, which did aggravate it; though One that had before him been found Guilty of two notorious Perjuries in that Court continued obstinate to the last; and, for aught appears, has not hitherto shown any remorse. Yet seeing he (meaning the Prisoner) was sensible of his Crime, and had Confessed it, the Court had considered his Condition, and would have some Compassion on a true Penitent.  
The Sentence of the Court was,  
That he should pay a Fine of One hundred Pound to the King.  
That he should appear before each Court in Westminster-hall, etc. with a Paper upon his Forehead, expressing his Crime.  
That on Monday next he should stand at Westminster in the Pillory, between the Hours of Eleven and One, for the space of an Hour. On Wednesday, the like, before the Exchange; and, on the following Monday, at Charing-Cross.  
And, he was likewise Sentenced, to be Whipped from Newgate to Tyburn. And he to continue in Prison till all was performed.  
Prance, upon the aformentioned Exhortation Declared, That his last Confession was the Truth; and that he was very sensible of, and sorry for what he had done; upon which the Court desired God to continue him so.  
The Sentence past, the Keeper of the Gatehouse was ordered to take back his Prisoner, which he accordingly did, conveying him to the Gatehouse Prison, where he now remains in Custody.
