hive all pia fair-}ianclid, and impartial trials, and
the offended Laws.. oryomiChuntry now hold you
forth as dreadful examples of their just yengeance.
Lis with great concern my situation obliges me, as
organ of those Laws, to pronounce. the awful' sen.
tence which your Crimes have justly incurred.—
Your consciences, Priso,n,ers,.at the moment of pet.
~ .
pc,trati6n, must have warned yOu of,theinevitable
consequences of your condo& ; happy would it have
b2en for you had, you attended its dictates.
" The voice of Society, and the violatc..d Institu-
...
;ions of your Countik, have at length brought You

to the shame and ignominy *hikh you know must
follow. IVIly the dreadful fate that now await;
you, be a warning to such amongst you, as by the
Grace. of the Soreteign„ may escape the extremity
of punishment ;, and may you, by -a strid adherence,
in future, to the dithres of Morality and Integrity,
make reparation to the Public, and furnish examples
to others.

"-And you, unfortunate. beings", whom SoCiety
rejeffs, as incompatible with its. safety, I most
s,tri iusly recommend to you, to employ the short
time allotted to yoU in this world, in- repentance
and prayer ; as nijthing but true repentance -will
avail with that just judge before vllose. awful 'Fri.,
bunal you are shortly -to appear, N?ilting now
remains to me, Prisoners, but loT.3ss,the dreadful
Sentence of the Law, which is: That. you .shall
severally be taken from hence to the place frorri
whence you came, and. from thence be taken to the
Place of Execution, where' you shall severally be
hanged by the neck until you shall be dead.-;,-And
may the God of all Mercies, have Mercy upon your
Souls." •
