Genuine memoirs of the lives of George and Joseph Weston : who were executed September 3, 1782. The first for forgery; the latter for shooting at John Davis, and wounding him in Cock-Lane: including a particular account of all their adventures, exploits, manoeuvres, forgeries, travels, amours; and intrigues of different kinds. From their infancy to the present time. With a curious and authentic description of the manner of their being taken, very different from what has hitherto been represented. To which is now added, An account of their escaping from Newgate on the second of July, 1782, and the manner of their being re-taken. With their trials at the Old-Bailey, on Saturday, July 6.
