Excerpt from The Genuine History of the Inhuman and Unparalleled Murders of Mr. William Galley, Vol. 10: A Custom-House Officer, and Mr. Daniel Chater, a Shoemaker, by Fourteen Notorious Smugglers, With the Trails and Execution of Seven of the Criminals at Chichester, 1748-9 But how monstrous and unnatural soever the facts here related appear, yet they are certainly true every thing is related just in the manner it was acted, without the least aggravation to set it off. I have set down nothing but what the witnesses themselves declared upon their oaths, except in some few circumstances which Steele declared on his first examination, but was not examined upon his trial. And therefore, upon the whole, I affirm that the following account is genuine and authentic. A reverend writer says: In order to deter mankind from the perpetration of notorious crimes, nothing can be so effectual as to represent, in the most striking colours, the punishments that naturally attend them. The fear of shame as often preserves a person from the commission of a crime, as the expectation of a reward for his con tinning in the paths of virtue. Mr. Pope also says.
