On Friday the 17th instant at Morris Town in East New-
Jersey, was executed, David Reynolds, a native of Ireland,
about 32 years of age, for counterfeiting the money bills
of credit of that colony. . . [55 lines describing history
of the crime, and the action on "the fatal day", including]
At the place of execution, Reynolds sung and prayed very
earnestly, and in a short but pathetic speech, warned the
people to avoid the vices that had undone him. . .
