About nine o'clock
The chapel was crowded to excess . But here , -- even here , the demon was suffered to intrude , and Jack 's thoughts were distracted by Jonathan Wild , who stood at a little distance from him , and kept his bloodthirsty eyes fixed on him during the whole of the service . On that night , an extraordinary event occurred , which convinced the authorities that every precaution must be taken in conducting Jack to Tyburn , -- a fact of which they had been previously made aware , though scarcely to the same extent , by the riotous proceedings near Westminster Hall . About nine o'clock , an immense mob collected before the Lodge at Newgate . It was quite dark ; but as some of the assemblage carried links , it was soon ascertained to be headed by the same party who had mainly incited the former disturbance . Amongst the ring-leaders was Blueskin , whose swarthy features and athletic figure were easily distinguished . Another was Baptist Kettleby , and a third , in a Dutch dress , was recognised by his grizzled beard as the skipper , Van Galgebrok .
