The last dying speeches and confession of the six prisoners who were executed at Tyburn this 17th of September, 1680: With the acccount [sic] 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.

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, a∣bout 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 Examina∣tion 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 Cor∣poral 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 are tempted to lustful deeds, and unlawful desires, that may be instrumental to bring shame and ignominy not onely on them, but on their whole posterity.
