.81y dear, of the anxiety and regard which I have foe you and
the children. I know not how to explain myedf ; but I must die
according to law, and leave you in a-land full of corruption. where
justice and liberty have taken their Sight from, to other distant
shorts. My dear, I have heard men remark that they would not
zany a widow, not without her husband was hanged. Now my
dear. I hope you will bear in mind that the cause of my being
consigned to the scaffold was a pure motive.
" 1 thought I should have rendered sly sterving fellow-men
women and children, a service; and my wish is, when you make
another choice, that this question you will put before you tie the
knot. My dear, it is of no use for me to make remarks respect-
ing my children. lam convinced you will do your duty as far as
lies in your power. My dear, your leaving me but a hew hours
before I wrote these few lines. I have nothing more to say.—
Farewell, farewell, my dear wife and children, for ever. Give
my love to your mother and Elizabeth. I conclude a constant
lover to you and your children. and all friends. I die the same,
but an enemy to all tyrants.
" JAMES INGS."
" P. S. My dew wife. give my love to my father and mother,
brother and sisters, and aunt Mary, and beg of them to think
nothing about my unfortunate fate, for 1 am gone out of a very
troublesome world, and Ihope you will let it pass like a summer
cloud over die earth.
" Newgate, four o'clock, Sunday afternoon, April 30, 1820.

kind love and affection. once more. for ever. and adhere to these
my sincere wishes. and recollect. though in a short time, you will
have nothing more of your tether. l.et me entreat you to be
loving. kind, mild obedient to your poor mother, and strive all in
your powers to comfort her. and assist her whilst you exist in
this transitory world. and let your conduct thiougnout life be
that of virtue, honesty. and industry ; and endeavour to avoid all

well. fare well, my dear childnal, your unfortunate father,
"To Will. Stone logs and his sisters. " JAMES IN GS."
TO HIS SON.
" My little dear boy, Wm. Scone Ings, I hope you will live to
read these few lines when the remains of yr. poor father is
mouldered to dust. My dr. boy. I hope you will bear in mind
the unforte. end of your father, and not place confidence in any
person or persons whatever ; for the deception. the corruption,
and the ingenuity in man lamat a loss to comprehend—it is
beyond all calculation. My dear boy, I hope you will make a
bright man in society ; and it appears to me the road you ought
to pursue is. to be honest, sober, industrious. and upright in all
your dealings : and to do unto ad men as you would wish they
should do unto you. My dear boy, put. your trust in one God;
and be cautious of every shrewd, designing, flattering tongue.—
My dear boy. be a good. kind, and obedient child to your poor
mother, anti catmint her, and be a loving brother to your sisters.
