Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of Daniel Defoe, Vol. 1 of 2
If I swing by the string, I shall bear the bell ring, And then there 's an end of poor J enny.
The gloomy sadness of Newgate we see, on the other hand, on the day when some of the criminals are to be executed. The next morning there was a sad scene indeed in the prison. The first thing I was saluted with in the morning was the tolling of the great bell at St. Sepulchre's, which ushered in the day. As soon as it began to toll, a dismal groaning and crying was heard from the condemned hole, where there lay six poor souls, who were to be executed that day, some for one crime, some for another, and two for murder.
