An account of the Death of Philip Jolin / who was executed for the murder of his father, in the Island of Jersey, October 3, 1829

A clergyman documents the final eleven days of a young man condemned for killing his father, presenting both the criminal act and the subsequent religious exchanges. He recounts the man's background of chronic drinking, domestic abuse by his father, and the immediate incident in which a thrown brick fatally wounded the elder. The narrative follows the prisoner's behavior, the ministrations he received, debates over the authenticity of late repentance and the propriety of administering sacrament, and the hymns and scriptural comforts offered. The account aims to show how sincere conversion may or may not appear in a condemned person's last hours and to guide pastoral visitors.
