THE Last Dying Speeches and Confession Of the Six Prisoners Who were Executed at TYBVRN This 17th of September 1680. WITH THE ACCCOUNT Of their Behaviour in Newgate and at the place of Execution With many remarkable passages worthy to be observed The Names of the Executed persons are as followeth viz. George Cole Tho. Sutton alias Browne Tibia Hog Mary Bucknall Edward Willis Edmund Dubber 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 Tryals 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 before-mentioned on the 8th of August last being Sabbath day as it is supposed having Intelligence that Mr. King and all his Family except his Maid-servant by name Joan Elge was gone to Church came and knocked at the door upon which the Maid peeping through the Key-hole demanded what they would have their answer was That they were friends of Mr. Kings and would needs speak with him the Maid replyed he was not within to which Sutton answered that his Wife and he were newly come out of the Countrey 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 Masters Cozens 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 her self till asking for a Vault she told him it was up stairs at the top of the House where going up he staid but a very short time and then coming down again went seemingly to kiss the Maid and thereupon clapt his hands to her Throat saying He came for Money at which surpriz● she crying out the Woman cry'd God dam her cut her Throat and thereupon both of them falling upon her bound her and then searching for a Knife at last found one with which they endeavoured to cut her Throat but she with strugling got her hands loose 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 Bason 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 loose though all bloody shut her self into a Room and cryed out Thieves Murther upon which several of the Neighbours coming broke open the door but e're 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 onely removed but had no opportunity of carrying it away Upon their Tryals 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 Tryed 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 cheapned several parcels of silk and thereby took the opportunity whilst they were busie 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 Tryal she denyed 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 shop-lift received Sentence with the former much lamenting her hard fate and exclaimed again her cruel d●stinies for pushing her headlong on such danger and utter ruine Edward Duffer was tried for breaking the Shop of Thomas Westwood a Barber in Holbourn and taking thence eight Razers three pair of Cizars three Napkins one pair of Beard-irons one Perriwig 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 Mary Bucknal was tried for Murthering her Male Bastard-childe 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. Sepulchres 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 her self delivered but not so secretly but that the other Woman heard some noise whereupon she asked her what was the matter to which she repli'd that she had bought the day before one pennyworth of Damsons and that by eating them she had surfeited her self the which had caus'd 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 still-born which availed her not for upon the reading of the Act of Parliament made to prevent such Cruelties she having none to justifie that is was Still-born was found guilty of the Murther And as the former so she received Sentence of Corporal Death and seemed sorry during the intervene that she dyed her hands in her own Infants Blood and that she should become Murtheress of the Infant of her Womb desiring all Women and Maids to beware how they
