The last SPEECH AND CONFESSION, Of Peter Caesar, a Portugal, at the Place of Execution: Together with his Confession at Justice-Hall in the Old-Bayley, who in a most barbarous and bloody manner, shot his own dear Lord and Master a Portugese through the Head, as he sate at Dinner in his Chamber. With the manner how he put him into a Chest, and afterwards cast his Body into the River of Thames: As also, the miraculous Discovery of this Bloody Mur∣ther; and the Sentence of Death pronounced against him.

Likewise, the Tryal of the French-men, for Ravishing a Gentlewoman near Holborn, and af∣terwards most inhumanely to put a Flaming Torch up in∣to her Body: Together with the Sentence and Execution.

As also, a true Relation, concerning Mary Smith who cut off her Childs Head; with her Ex∣amination and Confession before Justice Swallow; and the wonderful Discovery of that cruel Murder, by Streams of Blood running down the River of Thames, betwixt Ded∣ford and Blackwall.
