An Account of the Conversation Behaviour and Execution of WILLIAM ANDERTON PRINTER Who was Condemn●d at the Old Baily on Thursday the 8th of June For High Treason and Executed for the same at Tybourn on Friday the 16th of June 1693. Licensed according to Order SUch has been Their Majesties Incomparable Clemency since their Accession to the Throne that among the many Lives Forfeited by the Law on the account of Treasonable Books and Pamphlets their boundless Mercy has taken but One as a great Lawyer has excel ently observed It was only Their Majesties Goodness toward many others to call that a Misdeamenor which the Law calls Treason The Treasonable Libels that this Man suffer'd more particularly for being but two of above two Score several sorts that have been disperst since the Year 1691 in divers of which are contained as many and great Treasons as it was possible either for the Malice of the Devil or the Corrupt and Treasonable thought of Blood-thirsty Men to invent Containing ' Treasons against the King in his own Royal Person against his Government both Ecclesiastical and Civil full of Treason against the Queen Scandals against all manner of Professions both in Church and Kingdom of Magistracy and Ministery It is therefore no more wonder to find those People Distemper'd that are entertain'd with Poyson instead of wholesome Nourishment than to see the Sea Rage when the Winds blow Thus much said may seem to give the Disaffected and Murmuring Party a greater Reputation then Convenient were it not that their main Design of shooting these Paper Pellets according to Old Prines Phrase has lately suffered so fatal a Disappointment that many of them are at this Instant under a Course of Justice Others in Custody and Expecting it And the Residue neither in Humour nor condition to Prosecute the Quarrel being so fully satisfied of the Vigelance Power and Activity of their Majesties Friends which in Effect are as many as either Love the Publique or themselves that they find it morally Impostible for them ever to bring any Villany to perfection upon so desperate a Bottome Besides they have Undeceived the World and made appear to their Sacred Majesties that all Mercy is lost upon them Mr. Anderton The Subject of this Narrative was by Birth a North-Countrey Man and tho' but of Indifferent Estated Parents yet he was well Educated as to Grammar Learning From the School he was put Apprentice to a Printer serving his time with one Mr. Miles Fletcher a Person of considerable Note of that Trade after which for several Years From a Printer he became a Corrector of the Press which Imploy he chiefly followed till the late Abdication and Revolution after which he took to his Printing again but in Holes and by Corners only Mr. Anderton has been known to have been an Old Offender against the Government in Printing Seditious and Treasonable Libels being generally thought to be concern'd in most of the most Treasonable Pamphlets that have been Dispersed for some Years past Notwithstanding he was Indicted and Convicted but of two of them the manner of his Apprehending was as followeth Mr. Robert Stephens Messenger of the Press having formerly taken many Private Presses wherein our Mr. Anderton was a Chief Manager more particularly one at Hogsdon near More Fields and another near So-ho Yet Anderton had the good Fortune always to Escape with his Person But on the 2d of May last Spying two Journty-Men Printers whom he had missed from publick Printing Houses for above six Months before he followed them and saw them go exactly into the House of one Skudamore where Anderton was found and where be had reason to think he worked privately So having the Beadle and some other Persons to his assistance he Apprehended Anderton there but not without a great deal of trouble and abuse Mr. Stephons and the others made a particular Search and in the Chamber where Anderton Lodged at the back of his Bed they t●und a private Door which led them into a R●●n where Mr. Stephens found a Printing Press ●●●ers c. and searching farther he found in an O●●●●●●nk a great Quantity of Libels and Libellous Pamphtel one Entituled A Caution to the Navyl a 2● 〈◊〉 Historical Romance on the Wars an other A Secon●●etter to the bishop of Salisbury and there was an Errata and an c. found set in the Press the same that were in the Book called Remarks upon the Confederacy And in the Chamber where he lay there was a Desk which Mr. Stephens knew well to be the Prisoners because he had seized it before in which there was found the Two Libels that he was afterwards tryed for and divers others of the same sort which Desk the Prisoner owned to be his these they seized and conveyed with the Prisoner to the Lord Chief Justice Holts Chamber He was Examined by my Lord and committed to Newgate for High Treason On Thursday the I June in the Afternoon Mr. Anderton was brought to the Bar where an Indictment of High Treason was read against him for that he did Compose Print and Publish Two Malicious and Treasonable Libels The First Entituled Remarks upon the present Confederacy and late Revolution in England The second Entituled A French Conquest neither desirable nor practicable In which two Libel there were contained the Rankest Vilest and most malicious Treasons that ever could be Imagined by any man to be put in Paper in short the Design of them was merely to incite all the Kings Subjects to stir up and raise War and Rebellion against him and to restore the late King James After the Indictment was read the Prisoner Pleaded not Guilty And such was the tenderness of the Court towards him not only in the large Allowances of freedom and favour while he was upon his Tryal but upon his request ordered him a Coppy of the Pannel and gave him time till Saurday to prepare for his Tryal that he might want nothing for his Defence Acco●dingly on Saturday morninst about nine a Clock he was again brought to the Barr where upon a full hearing and Evidence he was found Guilty
