DOUBLE EXECUTION AT CORK.

The double execution of Thomas Crowe, for the murder
of Patrick Hyland, and Christos Bamboo, the Greek, for
participating in the mutiny and murder on board the
Caswell, when the captain and three officers were
massacred, took place on Friday morning at Cork. The
morning was very fine, and the sun shone brilliantly as
the unfortunate men proceeded to the gallows. They both
slept during the night, Crowe soundly, but Bamboo was
rather uneasy. They were attended by their respective
chaplains, who engaged with them in prayer. Crowe spent
the last two hours of his life in the Roman Catholic
chapel, where he heard mass and received communion.
Bambos was for that time also occupied in devotion
attended by Archimandrite Stratule, of the Greek Church,
Liverpool. It was anticipated that mass according to the
Greek ritual would have been said, but it appeared there
was no power to celebrate it outside the Greek Church.
The service called "holy Communion preconseerated"
was offered instead, and Bamboo received communion at
the hands of the Archimandrite. At ten minutes to eight
the unhappy men were summoned to the gallows, a call
which they obeyed without hesitation, and without any
faltering in their steps. Outside the gate loading into
the execution yard llarwood pinioned both prisoners after
which the procession resumed. They then for the first
time had a view of the scaffold. Crowe was still unmoved,
and walked with extraordinary firmness. Bamboo, how.
ever, betrayed some weakness in his gait, but as he
reached the steps leading to the scaffold he became again
firm, and walked steadily on the drop. Immediately
after both men joined most audibly in prayer with their
chaplains, who stood by them. With marvellous rapidity
Idarwood made the final arrangements, and in less than •
minute from the time they first laid ryes on the gibbet
both men were hurled into eternity. Crowe',, death was
instatitaneoua, but liani'em struggled Ilan( for half •
minute, and several minutes after his body moved quite
pemptibly. llis neck was short and very muscular. Ile
was a young man of only twenty-live years. Ifis compan-
ion in death has reached his sixty-fifth year, and be was a
small man of weak frame. To the last Bamboo; declared
his innocence. Ile did not blame the judge or jury, but
his prosecutors; and he said he would give them up to
God. It was at first decided that the reporters should not
witness the execution, but it seems that flambee made •
special request that they they should be present, and his
desire was acceded to.
