  • The Ordinary of Newgate's Account was a sister publication of the Old Bailey's Proceedings, regularly published from 1676 to 1772 and containing biographies and last dying speeches of the prisoners executed at Tyburn during that period. The Accounts were written by the chaplain (or "Ordinary") of Newgate Prison, recounting the statements made by the condemned during confession. Over 400 editions were published, containing biographies of some 2,500 executed criminals. Although target of many objections and criticism during the 18th century, since much of their contents can be verified from external sources, if carefully used the Accounts provide an important source of knowledge on many aspects of 18th century English history. All surviving accounts relating to convicts tried at sessions of the Old Bailey court and published under the name of the Ordinary of Newgate can be consulted on the Old Bailey Proceedings Online website.

  • The Ordinary of Newgate's Account (in italiano "Racconti del cappellano di Newgate"), noto anche come Old Bailey's Proceedings (in italiano: "Processi dell'Old Bailey") è una collezione di memorie pubblicata tra il XVII ed il XVIII secolo e contenente circa 2500 biografie e gli ultimi discorsi dei prigionieri giustiziati a Tyburn e nella Prigione di Newgate in quel periodo. I racconti vennero scritti dai vari cappellani della prigione di Newgate prendendo spunto dalle confessioni loro rilasciate prima di morire. Anche se il testo fu oggetto di molte obiezioni e critiche nel corso del XVIII secolo, molte delle versioni narrate nei racconti possono essere confermate anche da fonti esterne e contemporanee ad essi; i racconti forniscono uno spaccato di vita su molti aspetti della storia inglese del Seicento e del Settecento.
