Event Details
Fifteen convicts were executed on the scaffold before Newgate. They appeared devout and penitent, arriving shortly before seven o'clock. The platform dropped at a quarter before eight, launching them into eternity. A large crowd gathered, including thousands in Old Bailey from before six o'clock, with houses' windows and roofs crowded.
