Execution Order For William Pitt On Monday In Ghocefler
An Order arrived authorizing the execution of William Pitt on Monday for house breaking. Pitt had his sentence reprieved earlier to join two others hanged, but the king refused further clemency after learning Pitt robbed a gentleman he served. The king ordered his execution at the end of the respite to deter masters’ robberies. Canterbury reports a man named William Harrison, mayor, committed Pitt to Maidstone Gaol.
