About John Austin

John Austin was an English footpad who became the last person to be hanged at the Tyburn gallows just outside London. He was sentenced to death for the attempted murder of a labourer called John Spicer from Kent during a robbery. The Recorder of London, James Adair, described it as a "robbery with violence" that involved "cutting and wounding [...] in a cruel manner." This hanging would mark the end of Tyburn, a village in Middlesex, being a place of executions for almost 600 years.
