An Account of the Malefactors executed at Tyburn.
1. William Maynee, suffer'd for feloniously erasing two Indorsements from Bank-Notes, the first for 25l. from a Note of 50l. and the other for erasing an Indorsement of 30l.
He was aged about 48, born in Canterbury, and well educated. When of Age he was put Apprentice to a Wholesale Grocer in Watling-street. Being out of his Time, his Mother sent him to Jamaica, to recover some Money left by his Uncle. On his return he marry'd; but on some Difference, his Wife and he parted by Consent, and he went to Norflk, intending to lead a Country Life, where he marry'd a second Wife; but leaving her, he came to Town, and being a dextrous Accomptant, was admitted a Clerk in the Bank about 8 Years since. Being deeply in Debt, he hearken'd to a Proposal made him by one W———n, of recruiting himself from the large Sums that were current in the Bank, W———n received the Money for him, and had share of it; but growing more urgent, Maynee swore he would give him no more, so carry'd on his Frauds by himself. About the Year 1724, he marry'd a third Wife. All the mony he cheated the Bank of from the Year 1728, amounted to 4420l. Sterling. Being suspected, he was stopt at the Bank, Jan. 2d, and sent to the Compter, from whence he sent ​to the Deputy-Governor of the Bank, intimating, that if he might be admitted to the mercy of Transportation to Jamaica, he would make a full Confession and Discovery; and by the Answer brought back, conceiving some Hopes, he made and sign'd his Confession, impeach'd his Accomplice, and pleaded guilty on his Trial.
At the Place of Execution, he begg'd Pardon of the Court of Directors, pray'd for the Prosperity of the Bank, and dy'd very penitent.
2. John Chapel, aged 41, born in London, after a common Education, was put Apprentice to a Barber, afterwards marry'd, but his Wife being of a crazy Constitution, occasion'd him much Trouble and Charge. She dy'd, as reported, by Poyson which he gave her; but this, with the Story of his ravishing a Girl of 6 or 7 Years old, and of his forcing a near Relation of his against her Will, he absolutely deny'd. As to the Crime for which he suffer'd, he gave the following Account, viz. That coming acquainted with Sarah Martin, a Washerwoman, he often committed Uncleanness with her, and being with Child by him, she continually teaz'd him to marry her, which he could not comply with, because his Place in the Workhouse requir'd his being a single Person, and that she lov'd drinking, and was of a base wicked Temper; and therefore resolv'd to leave her, but could not, she haunting him continually: This he said, was the occasion of his conceiving a Design of her Murder, which he thus accomplish'd. They made an Appointment to take a Walk one Evening. Going towards Hoxton, they call'd at a Publick-house and drank together. When they came thence, Chapel desir'd her to return to Town and leave him, for he would never bear her Company, But she cursing and threatning him in an outragious Manner, he, with an Oaken-stick knock'd her down suddenly, and repeated his Blows with violence. She cry'd out, O! John, John, have Mercy, save my Life, but he redoubled his Strokes, and took out his two Knives, and gave her several Wounds, and stuck one of the Knives in her Scull. When she was quite dead, he left her and his murdering Tools, and return'd to Town; but was soon apprehended—he confess'd the Fact, pleaded guilty at the Old Baily, and had such strong Impressions of his Guilt, that he form'd a Prayer for his own use, and was very penitent to the Moment of his death
3. George Wych, convicted of robbing on the highway, was near 18 years old, of a good family, brought up at Westminster school, which leaving, he joyn'd himself with whores, thieves, and such like other abandon'd wretches, gaming away his money, and sometimes his cloaths; at last he ran away from his mother, his father being beyond sea; and never appeared again till taken up for two robberies. He seem'd to have but little contrition but what proceeded from the near approach of Death.
4. Thomas Andrews, alias Anderson, aged 19 and born in Worcestershire, was Wych's companion, and suffer'd for the same Crime, and had much the same character with his associate, both in life and death.
5. William Williams, aged 30, born in Yorkshire, and partner with the other two in the same crimes; said his business was to travel the country as a chapman; that the cause of this misfortune was poverty which he was reduc'd to by his wife's sickness; and that he was in a manner sorc'd into this action by the curses, threats and imprecations of his companions and fellow sufferers; which he was heartily sorry, and forgave all injuries done him.
