Executions at Tyburn 1705 – 1714.

 

With special thanks to Mr. Dave Mossop for allowing me to publish the results of his years of painstaking research thus enabling this unique insight into 18th century crime and punishment. If you would like more detail on some of these cases or wish to view the trial transcripts, have a look at the Old Bailey on-line website at http://www.oldbaileyonline.org/

 

446 death sentences were passed during the decade, on 280 men, 112 women and 54 people whose details were not recorded.  Of these 142 men, 36 women and possibly 3 other people were duly hanged at Tyburn and 1 woman burned at the stake. At least 2 of the men were quartered after hanging.  Overall reprieve rate: 59.87 %. Male reprieves: 49.29%.  Female reprieves: 66.97%.  Reprieve rates are based upon executions at Tyburn only.  6 men and 1 woman were hanged in other locations and 1 woman burned at West Smithfield.

 

Where women pleaded pregnancy, which a very large number did, they were examined by a panel of matrons and if found to be “quick with child,” they were respited until after they had given birth.  If not “quick,” they could be hanged.  Most of those respited were reprieved although you will see cases, e.g. Deborah Churchill, where they were called to former judgement and subsequently executed.

 

1705

There were a minimum of 9 men (see December below) and 7 women executed at Tyburn, plus a woman at West Smithfield.  The fate of 14 other condemned persons is not known.

22 men, 10 women and 8 persons, whose sex was not recorded, were sentenced to death at the Old Bailey during this year.

 

The Sessions held on the 15th of January resulted in 4 men and 2 women being sentenced to death of whom 2 men were reprieved and the 2 women found to be “quick with child.”
