The Manner of the EXECUTION Of Eleven NOTORIOUS OFFENDERS Who received Sentence of Death at the SESSIONS-HOUSE IN THE Old-Baily, On the 8th of this Instant December, For Robbing on the Highway, House-Breaking, and other Capital Offences.  
TOGETHER, With an Account of their Penitent Behaviour in Newgate after Condemnation, and their last Sayings at the Place of Execution, all very Remarkable and worthy the Observation.  
NOtwithstanding the frequent examples of Justice upon offenders, yet so hardened are those wretched Miscreants for the most part, that terror has not power to opperate on their stuped Reasons, but the more ruin threatens them, the more they seem hardened, not regarding a future state, till they stand Tottering on the utmost Verge of Life, nor are many of them then so concious as to look towards Eternity, being hardened in Guilt, by perpetrating reiterated Crimes, which by often use, become a Second Nature, yet ought they to be pitied especially upon their Exeunts to another World; but not to dwell long upon the Introduction, I shall proceed to what is material as to matter of fact, and give the Reader an account of the behaviour and suffering of these Miscreants, whose Egregious Crimes hasted them to an untimely End.  
John Fauster, alias page., alias King, an Old offender, several times tried for his Life at the Sessions holden it, the Old-Baily, for the City of London and County of Middlesex and Goal delivery of New-Gate, being some time before the Sessions, sent up from the County Goal of Sarum, by virtue of a Writ of Habeas Corpus in Order to his being tried, an Indictment was preferred against him for a robbery upon the High-way upon the persons of Samuel Doughty and Andrew Meal from whom he, together with his complices took a Horse, money and other things to a considerable Value, he pleaded not Guilty, but full Evivence being given to the Jury, they found him Guilty of the felony and Robbery: there was also another Indictment found against him for setting upon on e Mr. Tibber a small distance from Malbourough, and taking from him such moneys as he had, which was not considerable, as also a Horse Valued at five pounds.  
His Companions in the aforesaid Robberys, who took their trials at the Sessions aforesaid, w●re these following, viz. Richard Brown, Thomas Harris, alias Piget, Henry Layfield, and John Davis, who were upon the same Evidence found Guilty, though they objected many allegations in their own behalf, being all Lusty young Men, some of them 'tis said having formerly Lived well in the World upon their Industry in honest employments, but the World frowning, and they not having the fear of God before their Eyes, sell into desolate Company which brought them to undertake such Evil courses.  
After they were Convict, and had received Sentence of Death, they seemed much dejected as being desirous of longer Life, some of them greatly Lamenting their untimely End and earnestly begging Transportation.  
Jo●n Hurching an Old offender, having as the former been brought from Ch●lmsford goal in the County of Essex by Writ of Habers Corpus as having committed the Robbery in this County, Robing one William Johnson of a Ste●l Box, a Handkercheif and Five pounds in money some considerable time since between Miling-Green and Bow upon the Road▪  
The Indictment being red, he pleaded not Guilty, as likewise did his Companions who were with him in the Robberys, viz. Joseph Redwell, alias Kedwell, Henry Pafet, Richard Kent, and Thomas Williams, who being put upon the same Jury and the fact being sworn, it being a light Night in which the Robbery was committed, and therefore the Prisoners the more taken notice of, as to their feature Linnaments and habit, and they not being able to give a good account where they were at the time the Robbery committed, nor indeed of their Life and Conversation they were all found Guilty and received sentence with the former, and continued under the same Consternation at the near approach of Death, knowing in the latest Exegent how to value time that preciousest of things on this side Heaven  
Abraham Casteel, and Robert Mason, were tried, and upon full Evidence Convicted of felony and Burglary for Breaking into the House of Elizabeth Moreton in the Night time at Newington-Green, and putting her in Corporal fear of her life, taking from thence likewise Goods to a considerable value.  
Robert Mason, having three Indictments against him for felony, viz. for Robbing John Ady, Daniel, Sitherdel and Robert Skemton; all which appearing upon evidente he was Convicted upon each p●rticular Indictment, having been an Old Offender, yet sh●we ●●t the bar much penetence and promises of amendme●●●, but too late, for not taking timely warning of Merc●, w●ic● had been indulgent toward him in h●pes of his amendment was past, so that receiving the d●eadfull sentence of Death with the rest of his accomp●ices, some of which he decoyed into the fatal snare he run, the same Esq; being forced to undergo an untimely and Ignominious Death.  
These miserable Wretches according to their Merits having Received Sente●ce to return from the place from whence they came, and fr●m thence to be drawn to the place of Execution, and there severally to be Hanged, by the Neck till they were Dead, were conveyed to the Hole in Newgate Loaden with Irons, whither for the Consolation of their Souls and to fit them for another World, several Pious and charitable disposed Ministers Resorted, giving them saving Council, and such Instructions as were most Suitable to their deplored conditi●ns; earnestly Exhorting them to Repent of their former Sins, and by Faith to lay hold on the Merits of Christ our Blessed Saviour, who at the point of Death condescenced to save the Thief upon the Gross, and therefore by having a lively Faith and confidence in him they need not doubt of Salvation even at the last Period of their Lives, for God is a God of Mercy and with him there is nothing Impossible.  
These and such like Pious Exhortations wrought upon them so far as to make them bewail their past offences, and by Tears and Earnest Supplications, seek God whilst they were yet in a State of mortality, that so when Death had made a separation, their Souls might find a Habitation of Rest  
On Tuesday the Warrant for their Execution was brought to the Prison, and the next Morning the Sheriffs Officers came ●o Receive them at the Prison-Gate, in order to their Execution, where after their Chains were knocked off, they being brought Down, were put into the Carts that attended, and coming to St. Pulchers Church, had the usual Ceremonies Repeated to them, by the Bell-Man, and then passed on to the place of Execution, where Arriving, Mr. Ordinary and others Prayed with them, and again at the last moment of their Lives Exhorted them to call for Mercy, which several of them did, with Audible Voices, confessing that they had been grievous Sinners, and in their Progress of uncontrolled Theivery, had wronged many Persons, but now all they could do was to ask them Pardon, not having wherewith to make them Restitution, and that for those and many other Heinous Sins Gods judgement had overtaken them, or to this effect, then looking wishfully about some of them 'tis supposed expecting a Reprieve, they again Prayed, and held up their Hands▪ in a Devout manner, till the Ropes being Tied up straight, and then in few words exhorting the People to take Example by their untimely end, they were turned off and committed to the mercy of the Righteous Judge of all the Earth.   

Entred according to Order.
