And wears further allured, that the- Prifoner has fincc confefs'd himfelf to be Turpin. We cannot help obferving upon this Oec'. fion, that each of the Magiftrates before- mentioned have afted with great Prudence and Affidairy in Difcharge of their Truft, and deferve the Thanks of their Country for bringing fo notorious and dangerous a Rogue to his due Puniffintent.
