the three days he wax resident in the prison on the occa-
sion, among the items in which are "one bottle of brandy,
one bottle of whisks-, and one dozen of bitter beer," being
a bottle each for the first two days, necessary, no doubt,
to fortify him fi his disagreeable work on hand, and a
dozen of "bitter" for the third day, as indicative of his

in the account for "one bottle of brandy, one bottle of
whisky, one bottle of sherry, and one bottle of port," said
to have been used on the morning of the execution. As
Mr. Grant had no authority from the magistrates to incur
any such expense, the Council refused to pay the account,
and remitted the matter to the treasurer for inquiry.—
