A dreadful warning to disobedient children : being an awful account of the life, trial, confession, and execution of John Harrison, aged 20, of Wigton, near Carlisle, who was executed for the wilful murder of his father, mother, and servant maid; for robbing the house and setting fire to it, with an intent to hide the crime. With the manner of the discovery, his being apprehended, what confession he made before the magistrates. How the ghosts of the dead bodies appeared to him in gaol. Together with his dying speech at the place of execution; with several other things worthy the observation of young people.
