CRIMINAL TRIBUNAL AT ZURICH. hl man of thenauserf James Mag was tried for rob bery, at the assizes at this place, , He bad repeatedly been tried and sentenced betnre, Cuf - ;had alWitys found means of escaping from prison. In 1820 he had been condemned to hard labour' and •impsisonment ; in 1822 to the r Moly, to breabranded, attain twelve years' imprisonment in irons; in 1828 to sevetal months'ioli tary confinement in a dungeon, and to 14 yek's im prisonment in ittons;' in 1824 to the pillory, to be again brandid,"and to 16 years imprisonment in irons. - He bad, linweier t found means tot escape a few months Otter sentence from each of these. Condemnations; by breaking out of `prison. The fast titne'(on , the '7•111-of Aug. 1821), aftei having broken out of prison, be immediateli*eominitted a robbery at a goldsmith's, of money, jewels, Ste. to the Value of 8,000 florins; and after 'having committed seven ether robberies; he again fell into the hinds of justice on-the 4th of Aptil, 1628, and was committed to the ftmourcaaleof Helfenberg, froth Which he had also escaped, when he was stopped by a sentinel. The trial excited the greatest curiosity throughout'Swilzerland, as it was expected that the Magistrates of Zurich'wduld at last overcome their re pugnance to sentence this hardened criminal to 'the punishment of death, as he had so I hien escaped from • thetvengeanceof the law, and had commined sohnany atrocioui crimes. • • ' The punishment of death yet existed at Zurich, but in consequence of its being applied so rarely, it was considered to have fallen into a state of desuetude, and to have been thus in fact abolished. The Court at last, by t majority of two-thirds, pronounced the sentence of death 'upon him. Nag was executed after the manner of his country: They did not make him place hit head on a . billet, but he was seated with his knees against a block of wood. As soon as the Chapliin had concluded his ei hortatinni to hits, the executioner, who stood at some cht. - - 4 tansFbehind, advanced, drew his sabre from its'sheatb, and, with 'a back stroke - separated the head from the body. A Zurich jour t nal i , L'Obserixtleur Suisse, in an stiey to the objections of the opprinenti of capital ptinish- Meni, says, "What could have been done' with Mag ?_ 041PCisims are so miserably weak, that escape is yen deredextremely easy. Thire Was tin other' choke thati eiilier of chaining Mag dawn in a dungeon, the effects . or *fiich:iiould have produce d death from ' .scurv y in lesi than a s year, or he must • have tren citntinal as heretofore, .and he certainly_ would again'esCape.
