A Prayer by Mother Teresa
Lord, help us to see in your crucifixion and resurrection an example of how to endure and seemingly to die in the agony and conflict of daily life, so that we may live more fully and creatively. You accepted patiently and humbly the rebuffs of human life, as well as the tortures of your crucifixion and passion. Help us to accept the pains and conflicts that come to us each day as opportunities to grow as people and become more like you. Enable us to go through them patiently and bravely, trusting that you will support us. Make us realize that it is only by frequent deaths of ourselves and our self- centered desires that we can come to live more fully; for it is only by dying with you that we can rise with you.
Extreme or Terminal Illness
Lord Jesus Christ, You choose to share our human nature, to redeem all people, and to heal the sick. With this in mind I beg you to look with compassion on your humble servant ——-, support them with your power, comfort them with your protection, and give them the strength needed to fight against evil. Since you have given ——, a share in your own passion, help them to find hope in suffering, for you Jesus.
A Prayer for the Dying
Most Merciful Jesus, lover of souls, I pray Thee, by the agony of Thy Most Sacred Heart and by the sorrows of Thine Immaculate Mother, to wash in Thy Most Precious Blood the sinners of the world who are now in their agony, and who will die today. Heart of Jesus, once in agony, have mercy on the dying. Amen.
Plenary Indulgence at the Hour of Death
My Lord God, even now resignedly and willingly, I accept at Thy hand, with all its anxieties, pains, and sufferings, whatever kind of death it shall please Thee to be mine.
by a decree of the Congregation of Indulgences of 9 March 1904, His Holiness Pope Pius X, has granted a plenary indulgence at the moment of death to all the faithful who, on any day they may choose, will receive the sacraments of Penance and Holy Eucharist and make this act for the love of God.
Prayer for a Happy Death
O God, great and omnipotent judge of the living and the dead, we are to appear before You after this short life to render an account of our works. Give us the grace to prepare for our last hour by a devout and holy life, and protect us against a sudden and unprovided death. Let us remember our frailty and mortality, that we may always live in the ways of Your commandments. Teach us to "watch and pray" (Luke 21, 36), that when Your summons comes for our departure from this world, we may go forth to meet You, experience a merciful judgment, and rejoice in everlasting happiness. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Prayer for the Sick near Death

Amen.
To Our Lord for a Happy Death
Lord Jesus Christ, who willest that no man should perish, and to whom petition is never made without the hope of mercy, for Thou saidst with Thine own holy and blessed lips: "All things whatsoever ye shall ask in My name, shall be done unto you"; I beg of Thee, O Lord, for Thy holy Name's sake, to grant me at the hour of my death full consciousness and the power of speech, sincere contrition for my sins, true faith, firm hope and perfect charity, that I may be able to say unto Thee with a clean heart: Thou has redeemed me, O God of truth, who art blessed for ever and ever. Amen.
From Father Pat's Place
Prayers To Recite With The Dying Person
The following are some of the prayers that may be recited with the dying person, alternating with times of silence. Sometimes, the same prayer should be repeated many times. When the dying person cannot take part, those who are present continue to pray. The Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be are appropriate. The dying person may be signed on the forehead with the cross, as was done at baptism.
A priest or clergy person may be called. Anointing of the Sick, the Sacrament of God's strength, healing and forgiveness may be given. The entire family may join with the priest as the person is Anointed. This Sacrament is not just given when death is imminent, but when the person has a serious condition and is in need of that healing. The Sacrament may be given again as the illness enters another stage, as surgery is anticipated or when death seems nearer.
The sick or dying person may be signed on the forehead with the cross, as was done at Baptism.

May you see your Redeemer face to face and standing in His presence forever, may you see with joyful eyes Truth revealed in all its fullness.

Heart of Jesus, once in agony, have mercy on the dying.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I give you my heart and my soul. Assist me in my last agony, and grant that I may breath forth my soul in peace with you. Amen.
There once was a Pope in Rome who was surrounded by many sins. The Lord God struck him with a fatal illness. When he saw that he was dying he summoned Cardinals, Bishops and learned persons and said to them: "My dear friends! What comfort can you give me now that I must die, and when I deserve eternal damnation for my sins?" No one answered him. One of thorn, a pious curate named John, said: "Father, why do you doubt the Mercy of God?" The Pope replied: 'What comfort can you give me now that I must die and fear that I'll be damned for my sins?" John replied: "I'll read three prayers over you; I hope, you'll be comforted and that you'll obtain Mercy from God" The Pope was unable to say more. The curate and all those present knelt and said an Our Father, then the following Prayers:
1. Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ! Thou Son of God and Son of the Virgin Mary, God and Man, Thou who in fear sweated blood for us on the Mount of Olives in order to bring peace, and to offer Thy Most Holy Death to God Thy Heavenly Father for the salvation of this dying person …… If it be, however, that by his sins he merits eternal damnation, then may it be deflected from him. This, 0 Eternal Father through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Dear Son, Who liveth and reigneth in union with The Holy Spirit now and forever. Amen
2. Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ! Thou Who meekly died on the trunk of the Cross for us, submitting Thy Will completely to Thy Heavenly Father in order to bring peace and to offer Thy most Holy Death to Thy Heavenly Father in order to free ……(this person) … and to hide from him what he has earned with his sins; grant this 0 Eternal Father! Through Our Lord Jesus Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in union with the Holy Spirit now and forever. Amen.
3. Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ! Thou Who remained silent to speak through the mouths of the Prophets: I have drawn Thee to me through Eternal Love, which Love drew Thee from Heaven into the body of The Virgin, which Love drew Thee from the body of The Virgin into the valley of this needful world, which Love kept Thee 33 years in this world, and as a sign of Great Love, Thou hast given Thy Holy Body as True Food and Thy Holy Blood as True Drink, as a sign of Great Love, Thou has consented to be a prisoner and to be led from one judge to another and as a sign of Great Love Thou hast consented to be condemned to death, and hast consented to die and to be buried and truly risen, and appeared to Thy Holy Mother and all the Holy Apostles, and as a sign of Great Love Thou hast ascended, under Thy own Strength and Power, and sitteth at the Right Hand of God Thy Heavenly Father, and Thou has sent Thy Holy Spirit into the hearts of Thy Apostles and the hearts of all who hope and believe in Thee. Through Thy Sign of Eternal Love, open Heaven today and take this dying person ……. and all his sins into the Realm of Thy Heavenly Father, that he may reign with Thee now and forever. Amen.
Meanwhile the Pope died The curate persevered to the third hour, then the Pope appeared to him in body and com forting him; his countenence as brilliant as the sun, his clothes as white as snow, and he said: "My dear brother! Whereas I was supposed to be a child of damnation I've become a child of happiness. As you recited the firs first Prayer many of my sins fell from me as rain from Heaven, and as you recited the second Prayer I was purified, as a goldsmith purifies gold in a hot fire. I was still further purified as you recited the third Prayer. Then I saw Heaven open and the Lord Jesus standing on the Right Hand of God the Father Who said to me: "'Come, all thy sins are forgiven thee, you'll be and remain in the Realm of My Father forever. Amen!" With these words my soul separated from my body and the Angels of God led it to Eternal Joy. As the curate heard this he said: "0 Holy Father! I can't tell these things to anyone, for they won't believe me." Then the Pope said: "Truly I tell thee, the Angel of God stands with me and has written the prayers in letters of gold for the consolement of all sinners. If a person had committed all the sins in the world, but that the three Prayers shall have been read (over him) at his end (death), all his sins will be forgiven him, even though his soul was supposed to suffer until the Last Judgment, it will be redeemed (freed).
The person who hears them read, he won't die an unhappy death, also in whose house they will be read Therefore take these prayers and carry them into St. Peter's Basilica and lay them in the Chapel named the Assumption of Mary, for certain consolation. . The person who will be near death, who reads them or hears them read gains 400 years indulgence for the days he was supposed to suffer in Purgatory because of his guilt. Also who reads this Prayer or hears it read, the hour of his death shall be revealed to him. Amen!
Oh my God, I am heartily sorry for all my sins because of them I deserve the eternal pains of hell, but most of all because I have offended Thee my God who art all-good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to confess my sins, to do penance, to avoid the proximate occasion of sin and never to sin anymore. Amen.

Keep reading to find out what you can do to stop your cat from spraying or peeing outside his or her litterbox. Some of these solutions are free, simple, and can be done as soon as you read it. Others are not so free and require a bit more time. I hope some of these will work for you.
Get a Health Check. The first course of action you should take is to take your cat to the vet for a health check. It could be that your cat is telling you that his or her bladder is hurting by not using his or her litterbox. Once your cat is cleared from a bladder infection or urinary tract infection, keep trying these other options.
New Litterbox. It could be that your cat doesn't feel secure in your current litterbox. Some cats prefer hooded litterboxes while others prefer open litterboxes. For a hooded litterbox, I recommend the Booda litterbox. The Booda litterbox fit both my Egyptian Mau mix and my Maine Coon mix perfectly. You can also purchase litterbox furniture like this one to increase your cat's sense of security. This is especially true if you have dogs or small children running around.
Essential Oils. Essential oils may work to calm a nervous cat. Sometimes, anxiety can prevent a cat from using his or her litterbox comfortably and urge him or her to mark the territory. Essential oils can calm these anxious cats thus allowing them to comfortably use a litterbox again. Try essential oils such as chamomile and lavender in a diffuser for 15 minutes at a time. I personally use this diffuser.
Location, Location, Location. Try changing the location of the litterbox. Your cat may not be comfortable doing his or her business at his or her current location. Place the litterbox in a quiet part of your home. If you have dogs or small children, choose a place where your cat can have some privacy and quiet while doing his or her business.
Extra Help
If your cat's spraying is a bit more complicated to fix, try Cat Spraying No More. It provides even more in depth information along with an herbal recipe you can use to discourage your cats from spraying outside the litterbox.

The Truth About Astrology
As revealed between the covers of the Book of Books, the Holy Bible, there is an Almighty God who transcends time and space, the Creator of all things. And there is another, a lesser by far who would take His place, if he could. The Almighty will remain, but the one who's defeat has been prewritten in the annuls of history continues undaunted to engage in the bitter struggle. Every means at his disposal is utilized almost as though there were some hope of turning his destiny.... but he will not repent. His will is steady. His end looms before him -- destruction.
His dedication to the task of depriving the ultimate victor of the spoils of war is admirable, in a way. Admirable, too, is the dedication of those whom he has deceived into siding with him. The Host of Heaven and many lost of the Earth with skill and determined effort bend their backs and spiritual bows to the task of denying the Almighty God what he so richly deserves. Love. Honor. Worship..
This adversary is formidable. His efforts bear much fruit, but for a season. His ways are brilliant, if not very inventive. By what manner does he perform his wicked work of stealing, killing and destroying? Deceit. Deception. He pretends to be what he is not - to do what he does not - to have what he has not. The father of lies is he. Ever accusing falsely. Attempting to assume the appearance of the true God, he imitates His qualities and counterfeits His works. Meddling in the affairs of this God with his people, he continually distorts His communications, speaking twisted truths with a forked tongue. Who among us is fooled by the obvious? None but the most simple. But the subtle lays a snare for all but the most wise. His deeds are done in darkness under the cloak of ignorance and confusion.
In the great and bloody battle being waged over the richest of spoils, the souls of men, the most clever and devious of devices are being used. The weapon ASTROLOGY is such a device - wielded by the skilled to destroy the ignorant. Those without knowledge are lured by innocent sounding words which seem good to the ears and are led straight into the dark realm of the occult and witchcraft; rebellion against the most High. The battleground is strewn with the gross wreckage of mankind.
Man, for the most part, can still be seen expending his alloted time on this earth in a state of increasing corruption. What remains of his earthly abode wanes in the power to sustain him - even rising up to destroy him with the increasing fury of rending earth, tearing winds, violent floods, raging fire and wasting disease. And yet, the sin of rebellion against the one in whom help is reigns in their hearts.
In his book, The Gospel in the Stars, Dr. Joseph A. Seiss was inspired to offer his view of the influence of astrology and the original intent for this sacred domain which is the celestial heavens. "For ages this whole field has been almost entirely left to a superstitious and idolatrous astrology, which has befouled a noble and divine science and done immeasurable damage to the souls of men. But we here find it claimed to be a sacred domain laid out of God in the original intent of creation itself. And when I look at the deep and almost universal hold which a spurious and wicked treatment of this field has so long had upon mankind, I have been the more led to suspect the existence of some original, true, and sacred thing back of it, out of which all this false science and base superstition has grown, and of which it is the perversion."
Satan has counterfeited a most beautiful means of God's revelation to man in order to corrupt and distort the truths regarding Jesus Christ. Its evident that, throughout history, the Devil has continually tried to wipe out every facet of God's revealed word, including Jesus Christ himself. The only way the Devil can now attack the integrity of God's word "written" in the heavens is to alter it's true spiritual significance in man's perspective through astrology. He's pretty well succeeded, hasn't he? But yet, the Lord God is God Almighty, and no weapon forged against him shall prosper in triumph!
The following passage reveals the fate of those who dabble in the distorted half-truths of astrology. The power of the cleansing fire of God will consume them.
13 All the counsel you have received has only worn you out! let your astrologers come forward, those stargazers who make predictions month by month, let them save you from what is coming upon you. 14 Surely they are like stubble; the fire will burn them up. They cannot even save themselves from the power of the flame. Here are no coals to warm anyone; here is no fire to sit by.
Isaiah 47:13-14
As popularly quoted from Hosea 4:6, the scriptures reveal: "my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge." My friend: All that astrology is is but a distorted shadow of the glorious design of the Creator of the heavens. It is merely a shallow counterfeit, and yet what power has been displayed. If Astrology has served its master so well, imagine what the almighty God in his greatness of glory has purposed in the genuine! we should turn our eyes to look deeply upon what glorious work the creator has done in expressing His love for us through this incredible media which is, the celestial heavens!
The heavens declare (narrate) the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Psalm 19:1

The Hollywood Reporter
The Wolfpack can hardly remember where they left the groom, but not their exploits making the most successful R-rated comedy series in history.
With less than a month to go before The Hangover Part III hits theaters on May 24, castmembers Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis and director Todd Phillips, among others, sat down with The Hollywood Reporter to provide an oral history of the franchise, which has grossed over a $1 billion at the box office.
Here's a roundup of some of the conversation's most memorable tidbits, including how Lindsay Lohan and Jake Gyllenhaal nearly ended up in the movie:

1. On the Possibility of Casting LiLo: Phillips revealed he met with Lohan for the part of the stripper that would eventually be played by Heather Graham, but ultimately it was her young age (she was 22 at the time) that was the reason he didn't hire her.
"Honestly, it felt like she ended up being too young for what we were talking about," said the helmer. "People love to attack her for everything, like, 'Ha, she didn't see how great The Hangover was going to be. She turned it down.' She didn't turn it down. She loved the script, actually. It really was an age thing."
As for Gyllenhaal, before he tapped Galifianakis for the role of Alan, the brother-in-law of Doug the groom (Justin Bartha) in the 2009 original, Phillips was considering a whole different idea—and actors—altogether for the character.
"Quite honestly, we were writing the brother-in-law as a younger brother they had to take along with them—like a Jonah Hill character instead of Zach [Jake Gyllenhaal also was considered]. Then we thought it'd be so much more awkward if it was an older brother who's still at home."
2. Bradley Cooper on the Evolution of His Character, Phil: "The characters were different in the original script. I was a used-car salesman. There wasn't a Mr. Chow. I mean, Todd created everything," said the thesp.
3. On Mike Tyson's Hilarious Cameo: Phillips and cowriter Jeremy Garelick hatched the idea of bringing in Iron Mike after thinking, "What would be the craziest thing you could wake up to?"
"A tiger? Well, why would a tiger be there? Siegfried & Roy? Nah, that feels typical. Oh, you know what's funny? Mike Tyson. I once read he has tigers. They stole it from Mike Tyson," said the filmmaker.
Little did they know Tyson was still struggling with drugs at the time of filming.
"Somebody had told me something about a movie, but I wasn't coherent as to what he was talking about. They made it sound like it was low-budget, not a serious movie," added the former boxing champ.
4. Ed Helms' on That Missing Tooth: The Office star confessed he ended up having a dentist remove an implant he got when he was 15 so that missing tooth you see in the film isn't a CGI effect, it's the real deal.
"I talked to my dentist and he said, 'Yeah, we can take it out,'" said the funnyman. "He was a champ. He's in the credits."
5. Ken Jeong on His Famous Naked Scene: "Bradley volunteered for me to jump on him. My genitals and Bradley's neck are very good friends."

Thomas Revell , of St. Paul's Convent-Garden , was indicted for feloniously stealing a silver Tea Canister, two Cases of Desert Knives, three silver Caters, eight large silver Spoons, a Pair of silver Snuffers, a silver Candlestick, and Exstinguisher, a silver Bason, four Salts, three Salvers, and several other Pieces of Plate, to a great Value, the Property of the Lady Thorold , and 30 Guineas, and three Pounds in Silver, the Property of the late Mr. Sentement , and in the dwelling House of the said late Mr. Sentement, on the 28th of July last.
Katharine Broadway depos'd, That her late Master Mr. Sentement was gone to Marybone, and only herself, Mr. Charlwood the Apprentice, and the Prisoner at the Bar, who was the Coachman , were left at Home.
That on the Morning after the Robbery was committed, the Prisoner knock'd at her Door, and told her, the House was robb'd. That she went up into the Stow Room, where the Lady Thorold's Trunk stood, which was full of Plate, and found the large Plate scatter'd about the Room, and the Trunk open. That going into another Room, she found her Mistress's Cabinet, and her Master's Desk were likewise broke open, and going into the Celler, saw the Frame of the Window, in which several Bars were fasted, was broken down. That she was certain she bolted the Cellar down over Night, and that it was found open when she went into the Cellar. That a Room in which was nothing of Consequence, had a Seal upon the Door, that was never broke, upon which Observation, the Prisoner said, he believed it must be done by somebody who knew the House.
Benjamin Charlwood depos'd, That when Mr. Sentement was in the Country, he usually lay in the House, and that Mr. Sentement being in the Country on the 4th of July, early in the Morning, he was distrub'd in his Sleep, by a Noise in the House, and he believed he heard a Pistol go off, but getting up, and hearing nothing more, he went to bed again. That at Seven in the Morning, the Prisoner came and told him, there were, or had been, Thieves in the House. That he went down Stairs, and found the Prentice bound in his Bed, and unbinding him, the Disorders had been committed as mentioned by Katharine Broadway.
Katharine Hascoat depos'd, That she being a Servant to the Lady Thorold, saw the Plate mentioned in the Indictment, put up in a Trunk, and sent to Mr. Sentement's there
Thomas Dawlin , depos'd, That he being an Apprentice to M. Sentement, to long whom the Prisoner was a Coachman, the Prisoner had for a long Time endeavour'd to perswade him to be Confederate in robbing his Master; that at length, with frequent Importunities, he was prevail'd with to a Complyance. That on the Day mentioned in the Indictment, he the Prisoner, took the Opportunity of Mr. Charlwood's, and the Maid's being Abroad, and with false Keys opened several Doors, and took out the Plate from the Lady Thorold's Trunk, and the Money from his Master's Desk, and brought down his Hands full of Guineas. That he went up Stairs a second Time, and brought down more Plate, and then broke open his Master's Till, out of which he took a broad Piece, a Guinea, a half Guinea, and some Silver; that they shar'd the Money, and the Prisoner hid the Plate in the Still-Room. That in the Morning betimes, after this, he got up, and pull'd out the Frame of the Cellar Window, and then ry'd this Deponent down in his Bed to put a Colour on the Knavery, as if it was done by common Housebreakers; after which, he went up Stairs, and fir'd off a Pistol, to amuse the Neighbourhood, and Alarum the Family, with the Apprehension of Thieves and Robbers.
That some Time after, none of them being in the least suspected, and the Prisoner's Money exhausted, he consulted with this Deponent about melting down the Silver, and accordingly they bought a melting Pot, and after melting it, ran it upon the Hearth, and the Prisoner dropping it afterwards in the Dirt, perswaded this Deponent to go with him to a Silversmith, to vouch for him, That he see him find it in the Dirt; but the Silversmith being cautious, stopp'd the Plate, and very honestly, and industriously discover'd the Scene of Iniquity; and upon the first Appearance of a Discovery, this Deponent made a full Confession, and was admitted an Evidence.
Mr. Weaks the Silversmith corroborated the latter Part of this Deposition, in relating every Circumstance of their coming to him with the Plate, his Suspicion, and their being apprehended.
Several Gentlemen of Worth appear'd for his Character, who gave him an extraordinary good Word, he having serv'd some of them as a Coachman, others as a Footman, and all to the best of their Knowledge, as a faithful Servant; but notwithstanding his former Character, the Fact appear'd plain, upon which the Jury found him Guilty . Death .
William Hales , Goldsmith , of St. James's Westminster , was indicted for a Misdemeanor, in forging and counterfeiting an Indorsment on a forg'd and counterfeit Note, on which were the following Words and Figures, 800 l. pay to the Order of - Value receiv'd, Samuel Edwards . The Council for the King open'd to the Court the Nature of the Offence, and the Heinousness of the Crime, for which the Prisoner stood indicted, for first, forging a counterfeit Note of 800 l. made payable to Samuel Edwards , Esq ; and sign'd Robert Hales , and indorsing it with the Name of Samuel Edwards , which Note he drew upon a Paper he had obtain'd of Mr. Edwards, under the Pretence of a frank'd Cover, in which he said, he should send News into the Country, and thus he abused the Courtesy and good Nature of Mr. Edwards, by cutting off the upper Part of the Paper, which contain'd the Directions and drawing a Note, so as the Name Samuel Edwards , and the Word Free, should serve his Purpose in the Indorsment, and then borrowing, and receiving 450 l. of Mr. Robert Harl , on the Gredit of the said indors'd Note.
Thomas Maddox depos'd, That he being Servant to Mr. Edwards, had observ'd that for some Years past Mr. Hales had several frank'd Covers of his Master Mr. Edwards, and that in July last, Mr. Hales's Servant came to his Master's, with six blank Covers, and desir'd in the Name of his Master, that those Covers might be frank'd without a Superscription, which his Master refus'd, he always writing the Superscription, as well as the Word Free and his Name; he further said, That he never knew his Master give any promissary Notes on any Occasion whatsoever. The six frank Covers being shew'd to this Deponent, he said, He did believe those were the very same Covers that Robert Hudson , Mr. Hales's Man, brought to his Master, to be frank'd in July last.
Ann Clark depos'd, That in July last, Mr. Hales's Servant, brought a Letter for her Master, who was than in the Country, and deliver'd it to her, which Later being produc'd in Court, it appear'd, That Mr. Hales finding Mr. Edwards had refus'd to frank his Letters without writing the Directions himself, had sent three several Directions in this Letter, for the six Franks; and that when her Master came Home, she deliver'd this Letter, or Note of Directions to him, and he then said, he would not frank Mr. Hales's Letters any more; for he had both a Brother and Nephew, who were Members of the House of Commons, and could do it for him.
Mr. Philip Booth depos'd, That he was very well acquainted with Mr. Hales's Hand Writing, and did verily believe he wrote this Note of Directions.
The Contents were as follows.
To Mr. Levett.
It was likewise observ'd, That the crouded o, and the Addition, were different Ink from the F, and the Name Samuel Edwards ; and that at the Top of the Note, there were the Bottom of some Letters, which were suppos'd to be the Part of the Direction of a Letter.
A Remark was likewise made, That it is not the common Custom to write for Val. received, but Val. receiv'd; but as the Word Free could not be well ras'd out to serve the Purpose, it was made For, though done so bunglingly, as it might easily be discover'd.
Mr. Spicer depos'd, That he has been a Clerk, and wrote for Mr. Edwards, above twenty Years; that he was acquaintted very well with Mr. Edwards's Affairs in general, and never knew, or heard of any Dealings he had with Mr. Hales, and the Note being shew'd to him, he said, The Name Samuel Edwards , and the F, he did believe to be Mr. Edwards's Writing, and he made the same Observations on the other Part of the Indorsment as was made before.
Mr. Braithwait depos'd, That Mr. Hales brought a Note to him (as mentioned before, being an Order from Mr. Harl, to pay Mr. Hales 450 l. which Note or Order was read in Court) and desir'd he would give him two Notes, one for 250 l. payable to Mr. Hales, and one for 220 l. payable to Charlton Thurp, and this being above the Sum mentioned in Mr. Harl's Order, Mr. Hales gave him a Note of 20 l. to make up the Sum.
Mr. Harl depos'd, That on the 13th of June last, Mr. Hales brought a Note to him, of 800 l. (which being produc'd in Court, appear'd to be the same for which he stood indicted) and desir'd he would lend him 450 l. and upon the Credit of this Note, he drew upon his Goldsmith, to pay Mr. Hales 450 l. which Mr. Hales promis'd to pay in a few Days, and left the Note in Pledge, till it should be paid, which Note had been in his Hands ever since, and had not been alter'd but was directly as he receiv'd it of Mr. Hales. That when Mr. Hales was taken up in September last, for counterfeiting a Note of 6400 l. he went to his Goldsmith, and found that Mr. Hales had paid to him and Comp. 460 l. on the very Day he was taken up, an Account of which being found in a Memorandum, when Mr. Hales was secur'd at the Bank, the Money was attach'd, and he suspecting Mr. Hales to have counterfeited this Note, went and found out Mr. Edwards, who was surpriz'd at the Sight of it, acknowledging he did believe the Name Samuel Edwards on the Indorsment was his own Hand Writing; but for the other Part, it appear'd to him a Forgery; the Note being produc'd it was read by Order of Court, viz.
I promise to pay to Samuel Edwards , Esq; or Order, the Sum of eight hundred Pounds, three Months after Date, for Value receiv'd.
May the 13th 1728.
800 l. pray pay to the Order of -
For the Value receiv'd.
And here it was observ'd, That the Word For, was made out of the Word Free, as wrote on a Cover by Mr. Edwards for Mr. Hales, the o being crouded between the F and r, and one of the ee's at the End of Free, made to serve for the contracted the, and the other e taken into the Beginning of the y.
The Council for Mr. Hales observ'd, That Mr. Harl had his 450 l. paid him again, and therefore concluded, That Mr. Hales could not be brought under the Imputation of defrauding him; but this was answer'd, That the 450 l. which Mr. Hales paid to Mr. Harls Goldsmith, was not paid as a Discharge of that Debt, but placed to accompt, Mr. Hales being at that Time indebted in other Sums to Mr. Harl, and an Instance given. That if it had been otherwise, his Crime would have been the same, that is, If a Thief steals Goods out of a House, and does not keep, but bring them back, it is still a Felony, the Jury found him Guilty of the Indictment.
Mr. Hales was a second Time indicted, on a Statute of the 33 Harry the 8th, for obtaining Money by false Tokens from Robert Harl .
This being the 450 l. mentioned on the foregoing Indictment, which Mr. Hales defranded Mr. Harl of, under false Colours and Pretences, with the counterfeit Note of 800 l. drawn upon Robert Hales , and indors'd Samuel Edwards , the same Witnesses were call'd over again, and the Fact appearing plain, the Jury found him Guilty .
William Hales and Thomas Kinnersley (a Clergyman ) were indicted for forging and counterfeiting a Note, bearing Date the 16th of August 1727, for 1260 l. payable to Samuel Edwards , Esq ; or Order, sing'd Thomas Kinnersley , and indors'd Samuel Edwards .
The Council for the King opened to the Court, that the Prisoners being Persons of ill Fame, and having in their Custody a false forged and counterfeit Note, did publish the same Fraudulently for a true Note, knowing it to be false and counterfeit, and thereby intending to cheat and defraud Samuel Edwards, Esq; and other his Majesty's Subjects, with the said forg'd and counterfeit Writing. That it was a melancholy Scene to see a Clergyman in that Habit Mr. Kinnersley appearing at the Bar in a Clergyman's Habit, arraign'd for such unjust Proceedings, in being concern'd with Mr. Hales, in contriving counterfeiting and forging this Note, for which they stood indicted. That the good Nature of Mr. Edwards, in giving frank Covers to Mr. Hales, had given them this Opportunity to counterfeit a Note, and contrive Mr. Edward's Name to the Indorsment. That the Hand Writing in the Body of the Note was Mr. Kinnersley's. That the Paper on which the Note was drawn, appear'd to have been cut, or torn from some Writing, the Bottom of several Letters being visible at the Top of the Note, and the Note cut, and as it were indented to give the more Room for the Note to he wrote on, that the Word Free, as in all Probability, and even Appearance, was upon the Note, was chang'd to the Word For, to serve the Purpose of the Prisoners. That the Ink and in the o, which as in the other Note was crouded between the F and the r, and the additional Writing were much blacker than the Name Samuel Edwards . That Mr. Edwards and Mr. Kinnersley, if they knew one another, never had any Dealings together, nor could there be any Foundation, for a Note of such Consequence, as that of 1260 l. That Mr. Kinnersley had confess'd his Writing all the Body of the Note. That they had so managed the Affair, as to get the Sum of 750 l out of one Mr. Bird, upon the Credit of this counterfeit Note, which they deposited in his Hands. That when Mr. Bird demanded the Money of Mr. Kinnersley, he said, he was a poor undone Man, and Mr. Bird must apply to Mr. Edwards, who indors'd it, and was a wealthy Man. That when Mr. Kinnersley was carry'd before Sir Richard Hopkins , under Confusion, he seem'd minded to make a Confusion, but was hinder'd by an Attorney, when he so far retracted, as even to deny his own Hand Writing.
Thomas Maddox depos'd, as in the first Indictment, That Mr. Hales, who liv'd opposite his Master Mr. Edwards, in Dukestreet Westminster, had for some Years past frequently got frank'd Covers for Letters of his Master, &c. Ann Clark likewise repeated her former Evidence, That the Servant of Mr. Hales deliver'd her a Note, in which was contain'd three Directions to John Prat , Esq: of Bristol, Mr. Levet of Huntington, and Stephen Mitford , Esq; at Exeter, her Master having before refus'd to Frank Letters without he wrote all the Directions.
Mr. Spicer likewise confirm'd his former Evidence.
Mr. Bird depos'd, holding the Note, for which Mr. Hales and Mr. Kinnersley were indicted, in his Hand, That on the 20th of March last, Mr. Hales brought the Note to him, and on the Credit of that Note, and a promissary Note of his own, he lent him 750 l. in Bank Notes. That on the 3d of April following, Mr. Hales brought him 400 l. and indors'd it on his own promissary Note; but he never paying him any more, he sent his Attorney, Mr. Tompkins, to Mr. Kinnersley, to demand the Money. That Mr. Kinnersley came to him, and own'd the Note, saying, it was his own Hand Writing; but how it came to be indors'd by Mr. Edwards, he could not tell. That he was a ruin'd and undone Man, and must make himself over to the Fleet, if the Money was demanded of him, and that Mr. Edwards who indors'd the Note, was a Man of Substance; that the Note had been all the while since the 20th of March in his Custody, without any Alterations: The Contents were as follows,
August the 16th 1727.
I promise to pay to Samuel Edwards , Esq; or Order, the Sum of one thousand two hundred and sixty Pounds, for Value receiv'd.
And indros'd,
1260 l. pray pay to the Order of -
For the Value receiv'd.
The Indorsment being examin'd, it appear'd to the Court and Jury, That the Bottom of several Letters were visible, and the paper cut and indented, as if to take out the Ends of all the Letters, though this was not done effectually; and the Words to make as if indors'd by Mr. Edwards, were of a different Ink from F, and the Note Samuel Edwards.
Mr. William Wright depos'd, That he was before Sir Richard Hopkins, when Mr. Kinnersley was brought before him, and he then confess'd, That he wrote the Note all with his own hand, but did not write the Indorsment: Mr. Samuel Edwards being likewise there ask'd, What Business he had to draw up a Note payable to him, when they never had any Dealings together, not had he so much as seen him before that Time? To which Mr. Kinnersley answer'd, he was indebted to Mr. Hales for more than the Sum mentioned in that Note, and Mr. Hales asking him for a Note, he desir'd to know who he should make it payable too, and Mr. Hales directed him to draw it payable to Mr. Edwards; and going further, as to the Note being indors'd, pretendedly by Mr. Edwards, which he know of, and acknowledg'd to Mr. Bird, before he had seen the Note; he was stopp'd by one Mr. Mitford.
Sir Richard Hopkins depos'd, That he committed Mr. Kinnersley upon the Affidavit of Mr. Bird, who swore, That Mr. Kinnersley acknowledg'd the Note to be indors'd by Samuel Edwards, before he shew'd it him; that he examin'd Mr. Edwards, and he said, He never had any Dealings with Mr. Kinnersley; and that Mr. Kinnersley than said, He drew up the Note so, at the Request of Mr. Hales; and as he thought Mr. Kinnersley seem'd before him as if he was minded to made an ingenious Confession, but was hinder'd by the Interposition of a Gentleman belonging to the Law, whose Name he understood was Mitford.
Richard Davis the Constable depos'd, That a Warrant was brought to him, to execute on Mr. Kinnersley, and told his Inventions to take him, (too many of them to repeat) but as Mr. Kinnersley's Council made use of the most material Part of this Evidence, to Mr. Kinnersley's Advantage, it would seem partial to escape it.
The Council for Mr. Kinnersley observ'd on this Conduct of his, That he acted like a Man of Conscience, in not performing an Act so unlawful, tho' so frequently practis'd.
The Council for the King then said, they would endeavour to prove, That Mr. Hales, and Mr. Kinnersley, had for the last seven Months, before this Prosecution, frequently had private Meetings together, in such Manner, as it might be reasonably be believed they mutually agreed together to form these Designs, and doubtless Mr. Kinnersley was Guilty of this Forgery.
Thomas Babb (who keeps Peel's Coffee-House in Fleet-street) depos'd, That for the greatest Part of last Summer, Mr. Kinnersley, and Mr. Hales, came to his House two or 3 Times a Week, that the one would stay in the publick Coffee-Room, till the other came, and then they would retire, one after the other, into a private Room; that 4 or 5 Days before Mr. Hales was taken up, he was at his House, and seeing Mr. Kinnersley go by the Window, he got up and followed him.
Mr. Brooks (who keeps Brook's Coffee-House in Downing-Street Westminster) depos'd, That Mr. Hales, and Mr. Kinnersley, frequently met at his House; that Mr. Kinnersley would come first, and send a Porter, or his Servant to Mr. Hales, who would come, and then they went up Stairs, and that they have refus'd a Candle, when he sent it up by the Boy, in the Dusk of the Evening.
Mr. Janeway (who keeps Janeway's Coffee-House near the Royal-Exchange) likewise depos'd, That they came sometimes to his House, and went up Stairs, but being always in a Hurry of Business, he could not remember Particulars.
Two Witnesses were call'd, to prove, That Mr. Kinnersley was indebted to Mr. Hales a considerable Sum of Money, and Robert Burkett being one, said, He did not know of any Account between Mr. Hales and Mr. Kinnersley, but he had heard Mr. Hales say, Mr. Kinnersley ow'd him Money; the Weakness of this Evidence, and the other not appearing, made Mr. Kinnersley's Council confess, That one Witness was quite lost, and the other had better never been found.
However, some Witnesses appear'd, who prov'd; That Hales and Kinnersley had Dealings together, and transacted Affairs for each other; but this did not clearly prove, That Mr. Kinnersley was really indebted to Mr. Hales.
Others were call'd in Behalf of Mr. Kinnersley, who would have taken off the Strength of the Evidence of Sir Richard Hopkins , and others, in mentioning the Interposition of Mr. Mitford when Mr. Kinnersley seem'd inclin'd to make Confession, and Mr. Kinnersley call'd the Living and True God to witness for his Innocence; yet this, without positive Evidence, was of little Effect, though he had the Indulgence to be heard. The jury found them both Guilty .
William Hales was again indicted, for procuring 750 l. by false Tokens , of Thomas Bird , and some of the same Witnesses being examin'd, the Fact appear'd plain against him, and the Jury found him Guilty .
William Hales and Thomas Kinnersley were once more together indicted, for counterfeiting and forging a false Note, or Writing purporting, That a Note of 1650 l. was drawn by Samuel Edwards , and sign'd by him, made payable to Thomas Kinnersley , dated March the 30th 1728, and indors'd Thomas Kinnersley .
The Council for the King, made the same Observations as before, on the other counterfeit Note, that they were wrote on the Covers, frank'd by Mr. Edwards, and by crouding one Letter, and obliterating another, it had been so order'd, as to pass for a true Note; and it being in the Hands of Mr. Hales, on the 22d of May last, he carry'd it to one Mr. Thrup, and upon the Credit of this false counterfeit Note, Mr. Thrup lent him in Notes to the Value of 400 l.
Mr. Maddox, Mrs. Clark, Mr. Booth, and Mr. Spicer, depos'd as before, to prove the Methods made use of by Mr. Hales, to procure frank Covers of Mr. Edwards, &c. And then,
Mr. Thrup depos'd, That on the 22d of September last, Mr. Hales brought this Note to him (holding it in his Hands) and desir'd him to lend 400 l. in Notes on it, which he did at that Time, reposing so much Confidence in Mr. Hales as to think he could not be Guilty of so vile an Action; that the Money was not yet paid, nor had the Note been alter'd.
Mr. Thomas Williams depos'd, That he being Churchwarden to Mr. Kinnersley, had seen him write, and looking on the Note, said, he did believe it to be Mr. Kinnersley own Hand Writing, and produc'd the Parish-Book, to compare it with what Mr. Kinnersley had there written, and being compar'd by the Court, the Jury believ'd to be the very same Hand Writing.
Mr. Lenton depos'd, That he had likewise seen him write, and he did believe this Note to be his Writing.
Then by Order of Court the Note was read, viz.
March the 30th 1728.
I promise to pay to Mr. Thomas Kinnersley , or Order, six Months after Date, the Sum of one thousand six hundred and fifty Pounds, for Value receiv'd.
Per me Samuel Edwards.
It was observ'd by the Council for the King, That the Body of this Note, was all wrote in Secretary Hand, except the Name Samuel Edwards ; and the visible remains of the Word Free, which was round Hand, and this alone, would be a sufficient Evidence of the Forgery, but it was further prov'd, by substantial Circumstances, and the Jury found them both Guilty .
William Hales was then indicted singly, for forging and counterfeiting a Note of 4700 l. payable to Samuel Lee , or Order sing'd Samuel Edwards , and fraudulently publishing the same, for a true Note, knowing it to be false and counterfeit . This Note, with the Name of Samuel Edwards , appear'd to be likewise counterfeited, on the same Foundation with the others, and the same Alterations; which was likewise confirm'd by clear and positive Evidence, with several aggravating Circumstances; in Particular this.
Mr. Hales being under an Arrest this Time twelve Months, sent Mr. Kinnerslay to Sir Bibey Lake , and desir'd he would be his Bail, which friendly Office Sir Bibey Lake perform'd, and last July, Mr. Hales sent to Sir Bibey Lake again, and desir'd he would be Bail for him again, to a Writ of Error, which made Sir Bibey Lake hesitate, and say, if he was Bail to a Writ of Error, he should be oblig'd to pay the Money; however, at Mr. Hales's Desire, he went to Peel's Coffee-House, in Fleetstreet, and there met him and Mr. Kinnersley, and Sir Bibey Lake insisting on Security, Mr. Hales gave him this Note of 4700 l. for his Security, and then Sir Bibey Lake went with him, and gave Bail before the Right Honourable Sir Robert Raymond .
This Note was read by Order of Court, viz.
March the 30th 1727.
I promise to pay to Mr. Samuel Lee , or Order, the Sum of four thousand and six hundred Pounds, six Months after Date, for Value receiv'd.
Per me Samuel Edwards:
And at the Back indors'd:
Witnesses being call'd, who knew this Samuel Lee , it appear'd, That he was a poor indigent Fellow, and had never any Dealings with Mr. Edwards, not could his Dealings with Mr. Hales be extraordinary, though his Wife was Nurse

The new labour laws in Spain were quickly hurried through Parliament last Friday. In effect the major point of them is that they make it easier to get rid of employees as you no longer need to pay them so much to sack them.
As a measure to reduce unemployment does that seem sound to you? If the only thing that has stopped companies sacking people was the fact that it is extremely expensive to do so then making it cheaper and easier short term can only do one thing: Increase Spain's already unsustainable 23% unemployment rate even more and even faster!

These photos were taken at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York which I visited this week. It's fascinating how food always seems to be incorporated into museums of any kind. As a born and bred New Yorker and a life-long Yankee fan I couldn't pass up these photos. The same food is still the standard in most ballparks although there are many more choices available, too. It's nice to know that vendors tossed bags of peanuts then as they still do now. Sort of traditional ballpark behavior, isn't it?
