J Tyburn Ticket.

Y an Act of Parliament, 11th and 12th of William III,

1609, it was enacted that any one who should apprehend and cause to be convicted any person guilty of burglary, housebreaking, or horse-stealing, should be entitled to receive from the judge a certificate, usually called a "Tyburn Ticket," which should exempt him from all manner of parish and ward offices. If the owner of such certificate did not avail himself of the privileges thus granted, he might assign it once over to another person.

In the reign of Queen Anne, 1706, it was further enacted that apprehenders of burglars, &c., should have an additional reward of £40 for every conviction. Great abuses followed this enactment, and many an honest man was sacrificed for the sake of the "bloodmoney," as it came to be called. By the 58th of Geo. III cap. 70 the right to assign the certificates was abolished; and by an act passed June 1827, (7 & 8 Geo. IV., sec. I,) the section of the act of Wm. III., by which they were originally granted was altogether repealed.

The following document, (the original of which was lately presented to the Society,) is an example of a Tyburn Ticket, and as a record of the past may be interesting.

"Wilts (to wit).
