James Pratt and John Smith
James Pratt (1805–1835)〔 also known as John Pratt, and John Smith (1795-1835)〔〔 were two London men who, in November 1835, became the last two to be executed for sodomy in England.〔Cook ''et al'' (2007), p.109〕 Pratt and Smith were arrested in August of that year after being observed having sex in the room of another man, William Bonill.
==Arrest==
William Bonill, aged 68, had lived for 13 months in a rented room at a house near the Blackfriars Road, Southwark, London. His landlord later stated that Bonill had frequent male visitors, who generally came in pairs, and that his suspicions became aroused on the afternoon of 29 August 1835, when Pratt and Smith came to visit Bonill. The landlord climbed to an outside vantage point in the loft of a nearby stable building, where he could see through the window of Bonill's room, before coming down to look into the room through the keyhole. Both the landlord and his wife later claimed they both looked through the keyhole and saw sexual intimacy between Pratt and Smith, so the landlord broke open the door to confront them. Bonill was absent, but returned a few minutes later with a jug of ale. The landlord went to fetch a policeman and all three men were arrested.〔(Old Bailey Proceedings Online ) (www.oldbaileyonline.org, version 7.0, 08 March 2013), September 1835 (t18350921)〕
