With the Account of their Crimes for which they suffered.  

FIrst Thomas Sutton and Elizabeth Browne, pretended to be his Wife, were Arraigned and brought upon their Trials, for Breaking and Robbing the House of Mr. Richard King, a Mercer upon the Bridge, in the Parish of St. Olives Southwark; the manner of the Robbery was as follows: The two persons , on the 8th of August last, being Sabbath day, as it is supposed, having Intelligence that Mr. King and all his Family (except his Maidservant, by name Joan Elge) was gone to Church, came and knocked at the door; upon which, the Maid peeping through the Keyhole, demanded what they would have? their answer was, That they were friends of Mr. Kings, and would needs speak with him: the Maid replied he was not within: to which Sutton answered, that his Wife and he were newly come out of the Country, and that the Air was not agreeing with her, she was taken sick coming over the Bridge, and that if she would open the door, they would stay till Mr. King come home; upon which she opened it and let them in, they telling her that they were her Master's Cousins, and seemed much to admire the Furniture of the House, commending it above whatever they saw in the Country; the Woman still feigning herself sick: and so cunning were they, that they would not believe the Wench, though she several times affirmed there was none at home but herself; till ask for a Vault, she told him, it was up stairs at the top of the House, where going up, he stayed but a very short time, and then coming down again, went seemingly to kiss the Maid, and thereupon clapped his hands to her Throat, saying, He came for Money; at which surpriz● she crying out, the Woman cried, God damn her cut her Throat, and thereupon both of them falling upon her, bond her, and then searching for a Knife, at last found one, with which they endeavoured to cut her Throat; but she with struggling got her hands lose, and wrested the Knife out of their hands, upon which they binding her faster, upon promise she would no more cry out, left her, and went to breaking open the Trunks and Chests, and got one Silver Basin, six Silver Plates, two dozen of Spoons, two Tankards, one Sugar-dish; and then breaking open the shop-door, got a hundred and ninety seven pounds in money; but in the time they were plundering, the Maid got lose, though all bloody, shut herself into a Room, and cried out Thiefs, Murder; upon which several of the Neighbours coming, broke open the door, but e'er they came into the House, the now Prisoners were got out of the Cellar-windows upon the Piles, where the Woman was taken, and shortly after the Man, who was got off in a Boat; upon searching of him, there was about fifteen pounds found in his breeches, the rest they only removed, but had no opportunity of carrying it away Upon their Trials they pleaded both guilty to the Felony, and were by the Jury brought in guilty of the same, and received Sentence of Death. But Elizabeth Browne upon being asked what she could say to stay Execution, pleaded she was with Child, the which by a Jury of Women was found to be true, and she Reprieved till she shall be Delivered. Sutton alias More, according to Sentence Executed; his Behaviour was very meek, and seemed to be very sensibly of his latter end, and with much bewailing of his desperate and deplorable condition, continued till the Execution put a period to his days.   

Tibia Hog was Tried for stealing two pieces of Indian Silk from Thomas Sutten Indian gown seller in the New Exchange in the Strand: she coming to his shop, cheapened several parcels of silk, and thereby took the opportunity whilst they were busy, to slip two pieces under her Coats, valued at ten pounds; but being perceived by a youth that stood in an opposite shop, who told Mr. Suttel of the same, he went to search her, whereupon she dropped the same. Upon her Trial she denied that ever she touched, or had any such parcel of Silk; but the Evidence was so plain, that the Jury brought her in guilty of the Felony. And having been known to be a notorious shoplift, received Sentence with the former, much lamenting her hard fate, and exclaimed again her cruel destiny's, for pushing her headlong on such danger and utter ruin.   

Edward Duffer was tried for breaking the Shop of Thomas Westwood a Barber in Holbourn, and taking thence eight Razers, three pair of Scissors, three Napkins, one pair of Beard-irons, one Periwig, and several other things. The Felony and Burglary were both proved against him by his former Confession, and by a Witness whom he sold one of the Razers to, though Newgate had taught him the impudence to deny his former asseveration; yet upon the testimony that was given against him he was brought in guilty of the Felony and Burglary, and for the same received Sentence. After which, for some time he seemed resolute; but when he saw there was no hopes for life, his courage failed him, and he desired the hearty prayers of several that came to visit him, and so continued till death.   

Marry Bucknal was tried for Murdering her Male bastard-child on the 24th of August last; the manner of the Fact according to the Evidence was as ensues. She living in the Parish of St. Sepulchers, and lodging with another woman, about two of the Clock in the Morning found her pains come fast upon her, arose, (the other being so fast asleep that she perceived it not, as she swore) and was by herself delivered, but not so secretly but that the other Woman heard some noise; whereupon she asked her what was the matter; to which she replied, that she had bought the day before one pennyworth of Damsons, and that by eating them she had surfeited herself, the which had caused her to Vomit; upon which answer her Bed-fellow went to sleep: she taking the opportunity thereof, thrust the Child between the Bed and the Mat, where it was afterwards found: Upon Examination she denied that she any way made away with the Child● but that it was stillborn, which availed her not; for upon the reading of the Act of Parliament made to prevent such Cruelties, she having none to justify that is was Stillborn, was found guilty of the Murder. And as the former, so she received Sentence of Corporal Death, and seemed sorry during the intervene, that she died her hands in her own Infant's Blood, and that she should become Murtheress of the Infant of her Womb; desiring all Women and Maids to beware how they are tempted to lustful deeds, and unlawful desires, that may be instrumental to bring shame and ignominy not only on them, but on their whole posterity.   

George Cole, of Bishop's gate-street London, was tried for a Felony and Burglary, for robbing his Lodging, breaking open the Doors and Desks therein, and taking thence three or four pair of Flaxen Sheets, two calico Pillowbeers, two Tablecloths, several Curtains and Valens, besides Apparel, as Petticoats, Scarves and Hoods, as likewise Thread and Gimp, all to the value of seven or eight pounds; this he effected one Morning before any of the house were stirring, carrying them clear off without the least discovery, leaving one that he pretended was his Wife in bed the mean while. And also several Pick-lock Keys were found that would open all the House-doors, Trunks, Chests, and other fastenings in the house; and was so impudent as not long after to send a Messenger for them, and some other things he had by over-haste forgot, whereupon by the directions of the Messenger he was apprehended, and now upon Trial denied the Fact; but Mrs. Davis who lost the Goods, and several belonging to the house, attesting he only had the Key of the Room and no body else, the Jurors gave their Verdict against him as to the Felony; but upon enquiry, there being a Record found of his formerly being burnt in the Hand, he was also Condemned to Die, seeming to be very obstinate and careless for two days after, as if stupefied or amazed with the sense he had of deaths near approach; but by the persuasions of several pious persons who came to visit the poor afflicted wretches, that then, no doubt, lay under Agonies, to think how dreadful the King of Terrors was, he began to reflect upon Eternity, and was persuaded to prepare himself for death.   

Edward Willis being apprehended for Stealing several Sheep near Highgate was committed to Newgate, where he remained till he took his Trial in the Old Bayley, and there it was Sworn against him by a Fell-monger, that he had bought ten Skins of him, and gave him nine Pence a piece for each of them: And the man that lost them finding his Mark upon the Skins, He Challenged and Swore them to be his, so that the Prisoner being Cast, was upon his being found to be formerly Burnt in the Hand, Condemned. He begged hard for his Life, but several notorious things being alleged against him, he could obtain no Mercy, but was Executed with the rest, behaving himself like a dying man, till he changed for Immortality.   

Thus may we see how the Devil deludes such as give credit to his wicked Suggestions, but at last brings them into Misery, and then leaves them to shift, when least able.  
On the Eleaventh of this Instant, being Saturday, between three and four of the Clock in the Afternoon, was Elizabeth Cellier brought upon her Trial, being taken up the day before by a Bench-warrant, granted for that purpose by the Justices of the Peace for the County of Middlesex, for publishing a scandalous Libel, entitled, Malice defeated in which was not only several private men scandalised, but also the whole Government and Laws of the Nation. Several Witnesses came in against her to prove that she was the Author of it, and that she handed the Copy to the Press, paying ten shillings a ream for printing of it. The Printer swore that he printed several of the Ssheets, in which were contained the matter and substance of the Indictment, which was long, importing that she the said Elizabeth Cellier, Wife to Peter Cellier, of the Parish of St. Clement's Danes, had published in her said scandalous Libel, that Racks and Tortures were used to make the Catholics confess a Plot when there was none; and that Prance and one Corrale a Coachman were so served in Newgate; farther laying the inhuman Murder of his late Majesty to the charge of the Protestants; and that the King's Evidence were Devils, and not men, with several Reflections upon some Peers of this Realm: to all which she pleaded Ignoramus, and that she was not the Author of the Book, though the day before she had confessed and owned that she did it, but as to the proof of that, one John Peny swore in Court, that he bought two of them of her at her own house in Arundel-street in the Parish aforesaid, giving for the same the sum of four shillings, and that she owned to him that they were her own, that is, that she was Author of the Libel; upon which, after her having made a long Apology for herself, the Court gave the Jury their Charge, who going out and staying about half an hour, brought her in guilty of the Misdemeanour or Trespass, and she was ordered into Custody under the jurisdiction of the Keeper of Newgate, and all the said Libels that could be found in her house or elsewhere appertaining to her, were ordered to be secured.  
She is Fined one Thousand pound to the King, to be kept in Prison till that be paid; she is to stand Three several times in the Pillory, First, by the Maypole in the Strand, Secondly, in Convent-garden, Thirdly, at Charing-cross; her Books being to be Burnt in her view; and after to find Sureties for her good Behaviour during Life.
