a Sting He was executed in Cheapside against Milk-street end and died penitently See more at large in the Books of Nathaniel Butler and William Rogers Here followeth a True Relation of the Wicked Life and Shameful-happy Death of Thomas Savage Imprisoned Justly condemned and Twice Executed at Ratcliff for his Bloody Fact in Killing his Fellow-servant on Wednesday Octob. 28. 1668. THomas Savage born in the Parish of Giles in the Fields he was put out Apprentice to Mr. Collins Vintner at the Ship-Tavern in Ratcliff where he lived about the space of one year and three quarters in which time he manifested himself to all that knew him to be a meer Monster in sin in all that time he never once knew what it was to hear one whole Sermon but used to go in at one door and out at the other and accounted them fools that could spare so much time from sin as two or three hours on a Lords day to spend in the Lords service He spent the Sabbath commonly at the Ale-house or rather at a base house with that vile Strumpet Hannah Blay which was the cause of his ruine he was by a young man now gone to Sea first enticed to go drink there and after that he went alone and now and then used to bring her a Bottle or two of Wine which satisfied not her wicked desires but she told him if he would frequent her house he must bring money with him he told her often he could bring none but his Masters and he never wronged his Master of two-pence in his Life still she enticed him to take it privately He replyed he could not do it because the Maid was alwayes at home with him Hang her Jade saith this impudent Slut knock her brains out and I will receive the money this she many times said and that day that he committed the murther he was with her in the morning and she made him drunk with burnt Brandy and he wanted one Groat to pay of his reckoning she then again perswaded him to knock the Maid on the Head and she would receive the Money he going home between twelve and one of the clock his Master standing at the Street-door did not dare to go in that way but climbed over a back door and cometh into the Room where his Fellow-servants were at dinner O saith the Maid to him Sirrah you have been now at this Bawdy-House you will never leave till you are undone by them He was much vexed at her and while he was at Dinner the Devil entred so strong into him that nothing would satisfie him but he must kill her and no other way but with the Hammer to which end when his Master was gone with all the rest of his Family to Church leaving only the Maid and this Boy at home he goeth into the Bar fetcheth the Hammer and taketh the Bellows in his hand and sitteth down by the fire and there knocketh the bellows with the Hammer the Maid saith to him Sure the boy is mad Sirrah what do you make this noise for He said nothing but went from the Chair and lay along in the Kitchin Window and knocked with the Hammer there and on a sudden threw the Hammer with such force at the maid that hitting her on the head she fell down presently screeching out then he taketh up the Hammer three times and did not dare to strike her any more at last the Devil was so great with him that he taketh the Hammer and striketh her many blows with all the force he could and even rejoyced that he had got the victory over her which done he immediately taketh the Hammer and with it strikes at the Cupboard-Door in his masters Chamber which being but slit Deal presently flew open and thence he taketh out a Bag of Money and putting it upon his arm under his Cloak he went out at a back-door straightway to this base house again when he came thither the Slut would fain have seen what he had under his Cloak and knowing what he had done would very fain have had the Money he gave her half a Crown and away he went without any remorse for what he had done Going over a Stile he sat down to rest himself and then began to think with himself Lord what have I done and he would have given ten thousand worlds he could have recalled the blow After this he was in so much horrour that he went not one step but he thought every one he met came to take him He got that Night to Greenwich and lay there telling the people of the house that he was to go down to Gravesend that night he rose and walked about and knew not what to do Conscience so flew in his face The Mistress of the house perceiving the Lad to have Money and not sealed up said I wish this Lad came by this Money honestly The next morning he going away towards Woolliedge the Mistriss of the house could not be satisfied but sent for him back and told him Sweet heart I fear you came not by this Money honestly Yes indeed Mistris saith he I did for I am carrying of it down to Gravesend to my Master a Wine-Cooper We live upon London-bridge and if you please to send any one to my Mistris I will leave my Money with you So there were some people going to London and he writ a Note to send to his Mistris and he left the Money with the woman of the House and went his way wandring toward Woolliedge and there was in the Ship-yard about which time news came to Greenwich of the Murther that was committed at Ratcliff by a Youth upon his Fellow-servant and that a Bag of Money was taken away the Mistris of the House forthwith concluded that sure it was the same Youth that was at her house and that was the Money whereupon
