tinker-gypsy
Can the term "tinker-gypsy" be clarified please - are we talking about Romanis, Scottish Travellers (or Tinsmiths)? Mutt Lunker 21:57, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Date of execution
The extract from his sentence says that he was to be hanged on Friday 16th November. However the 16th of November was a Saturday in 1700 by the Julian calendar then in use in Britain, and it was a Tuesday by the Gregorian calendar.
