The life and adventures of Ambrose Gwinett, apprentice to an attorney at law, who for a murder which he never committed, was tried, condemned, executed, and hung in chains, in Old England, yet lived many years afterwards, and in his travels found the man in the West-Indies actually alive; for the supposed murder of whom he had been really executed. Demonstratively proving, that condemnations upon circumstantial evidence are injurious to innocence, incompatible with justice, and therefore ought always to be discountenanced especially in case of life and death.
