Magwitch was given 5 shillings.
The knowledge that Magwitch was making a gentleman of Pip gave Magwitch a sense of pride and purpose, as he saw Pip's success as a reflection of his own redemption and transformation. It also brought joy to Magwitch, as he found fulfillment in the idea of positively influencing Pip's future.
The judge had singled out the defendant to address during the court proceedings.
He warned Magwitch not to return to England, as that would constitute a felony and, if caught, he would be hanged.
Pip's feelings about Magwitch/Provis change dramatically throughout the book, mirroring his personal growth. He begins by being terrified by the prisoner Magwitch, then grateful that Magwitch doesn't name him as the food thief. On Magwitch's return from the Antipodes, when he's using the alias of Provis, Pip is embarrassed and alarmed at his presence, and appalled, confused, and even angry at the discovery that Magwitch/Provis is his benefactor. With time, however, and continued contact with Magwitch, Pip comes to see what sacrifices were made for his benefit, how dearly Magwitch loves him, and that Magwitch's only concern is that Pip be a gentleman. By the end of the book, Pip risks his own life to help Magwitch escape, and mourns sincerely as they wait in prison for the fever to overtake Magwitch.

Magwitch dies in prison before he can be executed, which is a result of injuries sustained during a struggle with his rival, Compeyson. He dies knowing that his wealth will go to Pip, whom he views as a son.

Magwitch worked for Compeyson, a fellow convict who betrayed him, leading to Magwitch's imprisonment.
