      THE AFFECTING CASE OF THE UNFORTUNATE THOMAS DANIELS.

      LONDON

      THOMAS DANIELLS.

      Sworn this 23d of November,

      1761, before me

      W. ALEXANDER.

      THE

      AFFECTING CASE

      OF THE UNFORTUNATE

      THOMAS DANIELS,

      WHO WAS

      Tried at the SESSIONS held at the OLD BAILEY,

      September, 1761,

      FOR THE

      Supposed MURDER of his WIFE;

      By casting her out of a CHAMBER WINDOW:

      And for which he was sentenced to die, but received his MAJESTY'S

      most Gracious and Free Pardon.

      IN WHICH IS CONTAINED,

      A circumstantial Account of the Behaviour of that unhappy Woman,

      from her Husband's first Acquaintance with her, to the Day of her Death.

      Drawn up and authenticated by the said Daniels himself;

      And faithfully prepared for the Press, by

      An IMPARTIAL HAND.

      LONDON:

      Printed for E. Cabe, in Ave-Mary-Lane.

      MDCCLXI.

      THE AFFECTING CASE OF THE UNFORTUNATE THOMAS DANIELS.

      The calamitous circumstance of having been condemned to death by the laws of his country, for the most hateful of all crimes; and his most extraordinary deliverance from an ignominious fate, and being restored to liberty unconditionally and free! will naturally render the case of Thomas Daniels a subject of eager curiosity and warm debate. That persons in the superior stations of life should sometimes find means to evade the punishments incurred by infringing the laws of their country, and by disturbing the order of society, does not greatly excite our wonder; an experience of the manners and customs of the world, occasions our hearing such instances as things of course; we make a natural reflection or two on the occasions, and think no more of them. But when a person in one of the lowest classes of mankind, by a fatal accident, appears before a court of justice with apparent evidences of guilt, sufficient to influence a jury of his impartial countrymen to sentence him to the most severe penalty the law can inflict; when this man, meerly
