Old Bailey Ordinary's Account, 23rd November 1757. Reference Number: OA17571123 THE ORDINARY of NEWGATE'S ACCOUNT of the Behaviour, Confession, and Dying Words, Of the NINE MALEFACTORS, Who were executed at TYBURN, On WEDNESDAY the 23November1757; and on FRIDAY the 31March1758, BEING THE First and Second EXECUTIONS in the Mayoralty OF THE Rt. Hon. Sir CHARLES ASGIL, Knt. LORD-MAYOR of the CITY of LONDON. ? On Thursday, March 23, the report of 11 other malefactors was made to his majesty, when eight were ordered for execution on Friday 31st of March, viz. William Green, Jeremiah Bailey, Joseph Wood, Joseph Wheely, Alice Davis, Samuel Ong, John Davis, John Allen, who were executed according to their sentence. Richard Benham for sheep steeling, Elizabeth Allen for a felony, and Edward Humphrys for a burglary were respited, and also Elizabeth Tomkinson and Margaret Larney being found pregnant by a jury of matrons, on the day of sentence being past. ...3. Jeremiah Bailey was indicted for that he, on the king's highway, on Ann Roystan widow , did make an assault, putting her in corporal sear and danger of her life, and taking from her person, one serge gown, value five shillings, six linnen aprons, five linen-caps, value two-shillings, one ivory comb, two ribbands, two ounces of worsted, two pair of worsted stockings, two pounds weight of sugar, one quarter of a pound of tea, one half pound of butter, two linen handkerchiefs, one half guinea, and eight shillings in money number'd, her property, 18November. On the trial the fact was proved very strong against him, so far as the evidence of Ann Royston can go; confirmed by the circumstance of William Weaver coming up to her immediately after the fact, on hearing a woman's voice, and finding her stamping and crying; and that she told him the matter, as deposed in court, describing the man, but naming no name: Confirmed also by the evidence of Thomas Stanley, who gave the prosecutrix a good character, she being nurse to his wife, and had left his house that evening with the money and goods of which she was robb'd; that he has known the prisoner about ten years, that within two months past,....He was born at Ashwell in Hertfordshire; but has lived about Edmonton for twelve years past: he lived partly by labouring work , and partly by higling , was wholly illiterate, and being deafish it was no easy matter to instruct him, and bring him to a right disposition.... In the account of Jeremiah Bailey, it was omitted to be mentioned, that after evening service on Easter-day he desired to speak with me, and said, he had endeavoured to make his peace with God to the best of his power, and forgave all the world, as he hoped on be forgiven; (particularly his prosecutrix, which he found very difficult, and could not do before) but declared solemnly, as he was a dying man, he was innocent of the fact for which he was to suffer; and begged earnestly that all juries might be warned against rashly finding persons guilty who may be innocent: he repeated the same request to mr. Akerman before he was carried out to execution, and begged the caution should be given to courts and juries. He had often been told that great caution was used by them in taking evidence and detecting false witnesses, that the ought to have produced his witnesses in his defence, Etc. And being again pressed to a confession, if guilty; he answered do you think I could stand out in a lie after all the good words I have heard? He was resigned, and expressed a lively hope of his salvation.... The hurry and surprize, occasion'd by Wood's death (for he died about 8 o'clock) and Wheely's hiding himself, delay'd their setting out 'till half an hour past the appointed time, which was 9 o'clock, when they were carried out: Six in two carts, viz. William Green; Jeremiah Bailey and Joseph Wheeley in the first; in the second, Samuel Ong, John Davis, and John Allen; and on the sledge Alice Davis, and the body of Joseph Wood. At the place of execution, they were again ask'd singly, if they had any thing particular to say, or farther confession to make Bailey still asserted his entire innocence of the fact for which he died, as he had done ever since his sentence, he repeated his request, that jurries might be warned from him, to be very careful. what evidence they believed. for as he often said, " Other poor men may be in my case."... After this, poor Bailey, made his, last request, that as he was friendless the Ordinary would take care to have him buried, which by help of a small contribution made for that purpose by the humane and compassionate beholders, was carefully performed.
