Some account of Barny Carrol and William King, executed at Tyburn, for waylaying and flitting the woje of Cranley Thomas Kirby, fq; on j the 7th of June 1765.

HIS crime was committed in

WOMEN.

Catharine Marquez, in effigy, having died in confinement, accufed of Judaism.

Jofepha Thereza Freire, for

horrid combinations that ever was formed against civil fociety. It confifted of boys and men; the boys were to pick pockets; and if they were detected, the men were to deliver them, by cutting the injured perfon crofs the eyes.

In confequence of this daring,

diabolical affociation, two boys, Byfield and Matthews, fallied out on the public on the evening of the 7th of June 1765, under the protection of two men, Bar by Carrol and William King. Carrol and Byfield had been together all day, and in the even ing, about fix o'clock, they met Matthews and King, at the Golden Boot in Cross-lane. The two boys had found a razor-bladed clafp knife, about nine inches long when open, a few days before, and Carrol gave them a penny a-piece for it. This knife he made sharp at the Boot; and it was agreed that Matthews and Byfield thould that night pick pockets, or fnatch hats, and that Carrol and King fhould be near to receive what they ftole, and should strike, ftab, or cut the nose and eyes of any that molefted them.

They proceeded from the Boot, down Bow-ftreet, Covent Gar den, and came into the Strand through Catherine-ftreet, between nine and ten o'clock. They croffed the way, Carrol marching first with Byfield, and King following with Matthews. Juft as they came to Somerset-houfe, Carrol faw Cranley Thomas Kirby, efq; who was returning from the Park towards Temple-bar, and, as the weather was intenfely hot, walking very flowly. Carrol thought this a good opportunity to begin their operations, and bade Byfield attempt Mr. Kirby's pocket; the boy infantly went forward, and did as he was ordered; but Mr. Kirby feeling his hand in his pocket, turned haftily round, and took him by the fleeve of his

waistcoat, for he was without a coat, juft as he was drawing his hand away.

Thus detected, and charged with the fact, the boy was con founded, and Mr. Kirby, to terrify him, told him he would carry him before a juftice, though he had no intention of doing it. He did not however ftop, but led the boy along, very flowly, towards Temple-bar. As foon as he had taken hold of the boy, he perceived Carrol come up, and fixed his attention upon him; and foon after he faw Matthews and King, whom he justly imagined to be part of the gang. He did not, however, quit his hold of Byfield, but continued to lead him along, ftill walking very flow, though he could obferve Carrol very active, fometimes behind him, and fometimes before him; and once he came up fo near to the boy, that the boy faid foftly to him, Keep. away; the gentleman will let me go; upon which he fell back; but the boy overheard him fay to King, D-n him but I will cut him.

It happened that a gentleman, whofe name fince appears to be Carr, was just going to pass Mr. Kirby as he detected By field with his hand in his pocket. Mr. Carr, prompted by a natural curiofity, ftopped to fee how it would end, and, inttead of paffing Mr. Kirby, as he was about to do, he followed him at a very little diftance. In this fituation, he faw Carrol come up firft, then Matthews, and then King; upon which he ftepped forward, and told Mr. Kirby there was a gang following him. Mr. Kirby then begged he would walk close be[1]4

hind

hind him, to prevent his being knocked down; and Mr. Carr did fo. Carrol then fell behind Mr. Carr, and Matthews and King fol. lowed Carrol, till they came near the corner of Arundel-ftreet; when Carrol pufhed haftily by Mr. Carr, having the knife drawn in bis hand, and ftopped till Mr. Kirby came up; and then stooping down, and looking up under Mr. Kirby's hat, he inftantly, with a backhanded blow, as violent as he could make it, ftruck him crofs the nofe and eyes with the knife.

Mr. Kirby wears his hat very Jow on his forehead, and he happened then to have on a very ftrong hat almoft new; this faved his life; for the blow intirely divided the hat, cutting both through the brim that was turned up, and the crown, in a direction flanting downward.

Carrol, at the moment he made the blow, cried, D-m you, Sir, let the boy g. Mr. Carr, hearing this, and feeing the ftroke, laid hold of Carrol; but Mr. Kirby, at the fame inftant, quitting the boy, and making a blow at Carrol with his cane, unfortunately miffed him, and ftruck Mr. Carr on the hand that held him, which obliged him to quit his hold. Carrol and Byfield being thus releafed at the fame moment, Byfield ran behind a coach and got away; and Carrol croffing the way, and running crofs St. Clement's church-yard, was pursued by Mr. Carr, who upon his flipping through the narrow paffage, by the chop houfe, into Which street loft fight of him. King and Matthews followed, and fo all got away.

In the mean time Mr. Kirby, who felt his nofe benumbed, by the nerves having been divided, was not aware that he was wounded, but thought he had only received a violent blow: he found his eyes dim, indeed, but he imagined they had thrown duft in them; till putting up his hand to wipe it away, he difcovered the injury he bad fuffered, by finding the blood run very profule over it.

Being then at the door of the Crown and Anchor tavern, he went into it, and ordered a furgeon to be fent for. Mr. Ingram, who lives in Aundel-fireet, came in two or three minutes, but Mr. Kirby had already lost two quarts of blood. Mr. Ingram found the two great veffels of the forehead divided by a large tranfverfe wound, beginning from the right, and going cross the right eyelid, and cross the nofe, to the left eye-lid, and terminating at the temple; the wound cross the nose was fo wide that the bone was feen naked; and it would probably have divided both the eye-balls, if it had not been for the hat.

At the fame time that Mr. Kirby fent for Mr. Ingram, he fent alfo for Dr. Morris, a phyfician; who, by the time that the wound was dreffed, came in. He found a confiderable inflammation, and thought dangerous confequences might follow. The next morning, Saturday, the 8th of June, the doctor attended again with Mr. Ingram; and Mr. Kirby, though he had no doubt of Mr Ingram's abilities, yet, being advised to call in another furgeon, fent for Mr. Pyle. from Westminster hofpital, and every thing proper was done.

They

They now began to think of taking measures to apprehend the criminals; and Mr. Kirby not being in a condition to go out, requefted Dr. Morris to go to juftice Fielding's, and defcribe them to the juftice as he himself defcribed them to him. The doctor went accordingly, and the juftice fent one Henry Wright in pursuit of them. It appears that Wright knew both Carrol and Byfield, and that he knew them to be thieves; it appears alfo that he had frequent intercourfe with them; he faw them and King and Matthews on Friday, the very day the fact was committed; Carrol and By field on one fide of the way, and King and Matthews on the other; but, as he said, on the trial, he did not trouble himfelf about them then; he, alfo, met Carrol and Byfield on the morning after Mr Kirby had been wounded, before he had received any orders in confequence of that fact: and being afterwards told that Carrol had a watch upon him, he went at seven in the evening of the fame day, to feek him in the ruins of St. Giles's, where he found him aud fearched him; fo true it is, that these wretches are known to, and in the power of those who live by hanging them. It does not appear that Wright found the watch he went in queft of, but he found the knife that had given the blow, which he delivered to Carrol again, and then left him. But going afterwards to his mafter's, the juftice's, be there received orders from the clerk, to take the perfons Dr Morris had defcribed. Accordingly, he went on the evening of Sunday the 9th, to Norfolk-ftreet in the Strand, for it appears that he always knew where

to find them, whether they were idle or at work, and presently faw. Carrol and Matthews: he immediately laid hold on Carrol, taking no notice of Matthews, probably knowing that, as it was intended he should be made an evidence, he could have him whenever he would. When he feized Carrol, he faid, You are the man I have been look❤ ing for; and Carrol immediately replied, as it appears, without any furprize or refiftance, I judged it. Now, fays Wright, fhew me the neareft way to St. Giles's round houfe, and I will not handcuff you; upon which he complied, and walked quietly to the place.

On Monday morning, the 10th, Carrol, with the two boys, Matthews and Byfield, who were admitted as evidences, were brought to Mr. Kirby by fome of the juftice's people. Mr. Kirby immedi ately knew Carrol, whofe appearance was as wretched as his life was wicked; his breeches were in rags, and he had a great coat on, that did not come fo low as his knees; he knew alfo Byfield, the boy that had attempted to pick his pocket, but was not quite fo certain as to Matthews.

On the Saturday fe'nnight, June the 22d, he went to juftice Fielding's, to give his information against the prisoners, and there he alfo faw King, who had been taken into cuftody, but when, or how, does not appear. He could not fwear to King, but believed him to be the fourth of the gang that had befet him.

Being bound over to profecute, he put an advertisement into one of the daily papers for Mr. Carr, whofe name he did not then know, but whom he defcribed as the perfon he had requefied to walk be
