I'HE DORSET COUNTY EXPRESS AND AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE, TUESDAY, AUGUST 16. 1870

One could not but feel pity for the tall, lithe.
darkeyed young man, so soon to be banished
from the world by the firm decree that
" Whosoever eheddeth inen's blood, by man
shall hi, blood be shed." He was about Mt. Sin.
high. even in the list prison slipper', which let him
walk along no noiselessly, had dark hair, and • sallow
complexion. MA was apparently in full health. His
physiere seem, el to be rather that of • morbid man,
disposed to sleg.eishness, and a desire to be let alone,
than of a Sry revengeful eliipositien. In the
pinioning yard, 10. shook h ends with the Governor, the
Deputy-Governor. Claler.ft, and all the pri .on officials,
and wished them all "Good bye." Mr. Bawler whims
pered to him " nutlet-Leath are the everlasting arms."
Ratcliffe cheerfully reeled "Ye.! Ye, !" The party then
solemnly proceeded to the eei cation yard. here the
black so.ffold had been erected, 1411,1 could not fail to
attract the convict's eye at onee ; but he looked at t
without &neither. The Rev. B. L. Watson read he
burial eervice. the convict'a lipe moved in response, SO
he joined his hand.. in the suited, of prayer. With
the greatest firmness but without the slightest show of
bravado, he accompanied Celaraft up the steps. Th.
executioner drew the white can over his face, adjusted
the rope with the 'toot under the right ear, strapped his
legs together blow the knees, and shook handi
with the convict, who Willilell him Goodbye. Left
on the drop Ratcliffe visibly shook and even
seemed about to tore r and fall. but he said not • word.
Th- preparations were WI quickly made, that the drop
fell before there was time for his evident emotion to
overcome hurt. The fall was about 2j feet, and
in an instant his head was jerked forcibly to
the left, a spasm passed over him, and in &bent two
seconds life was extinct. The muscular tremor con-
tinued for about three minutes' and shortly
after the surgeon, Mr. Good, approached
and felt the pulse, pronouncing that death
had been elnio4 iietantaneou,, and that the convict
had died very easily. There were about 30 witnesses
of the execution, and the f...et was proclaimed to those
outsile the gaol by tie boistiog of a black 11 eg. A
curious crowd as- rubled iii North-square ; but not
more than about 200.
It must be a satisfaction to the officials at the County
Prison that on the one lean I, there was no approach to
the dreadful accadent nf dessapiteting tie hots as at
Dublin, while on the other, the fall was sufficient to
destroy life with the least possible amount of suffering.
Having hung the time prescribed by Act of Perlis
mental nine o'clock the bey was cut down.and placed.
in a plain elm coffin, the lid of which soupy bore the
initials T. it, in plain black letters. An inquest was
subsequently held: It was filed for 12 o'clodr, but this
hour was &latish...lei, and the inquiry took place at 11.
Ii wit, held More G. Symonds, Esq' . coroner. and the
following jury :—Mr. JlllOO4 Henry Groves, foremen;
Mr. Thorned Vie., Mr. Joseph Voss, Mr. John Phelie,
Mr. flei.ry Mills, Mr. Henry Landschiet, Mr,
Henry White, Mr. Henry Srickland. Mr. Thomas
Wellman, Mr. John Day, Mr. Walter Welsh, Mr. We..
Colo.—The Governor of the prison, J.V. D. Lewraece,
Esq., proved the identity of the body with th et of the
prisoner Ratcliffe. and the jury found that the deceased
had been executed according to law. The inquisition
was subsequently posted ou the °aside of the gate of
prison.
A cast of the deceased's bead and fair were about
noon taken by Messrs. You and Son. The body was
in the afternoon interred in the prisoners' burial ground.
The grave is situated near the centre of the ground
and about 20 feet to the tenth +aril of Dethridge's
grave. The space around the body was filled with
quicklime, and • quantity of charcoal placed above,
the whole covered with the earth. Thus, as far as the
world is concerned, perishei Thomas Ratcliffe, one of
the rash" of modern eociety, whose slothfulness and
dislike to steady employment seems to have led him
into that course where every man's hand was against
him. until he found merciful hearts and kind teachers
in the prison, his last abode before the grave.

The writing was somewhat like that ot a schoolboy
when doing exercises. It was very legible, and ap-
parently firm, though marked with a few smears and
interlineations. Attempts at ornament of • simple kind
were not wanting, in the slope of flourishes between
the various parts of the contents.

in

the town, and shell after shell came bursting iuto the
hoin.es. A barn not more than ro yards off was set on
lire, but as there Woe happily no wind it dint not
spread fu.ther. A German gentleman and his two
sisters were aiming down from the station, and a
bomb-alien burst cl• se at their feet. They ru•hed
into an hotel for cifety. I never witnessed greater
pre+erce of mind than these two Gertosal la li"
showed whit. thiega became very dangerous even in
the hotel. I teanimed to plant myself on a window-sill
npstairs. Mere I got a aery good VibW of all that was
wing on. Th re must have been at least 6,000 French
eneased, most of them Masseurs. I ssw them um the
mitrAllenrs against • detachment of the 40th Ita.giment
who were en s ind the rdlw.y eintsink merit, hut they
I hal ho tf. et, as every shot fell sh rt, and after five
udeutes they ceased firing. As fAr as I could make
out, it took 14 torn to work this instrument and about
or many more to losd it. They turn bandies round as
in • huge coffee-grinder, and the noise is very much like
a police rattle pot close to your tar. If the shots had
reacted the detachment thy were fit ing at, they would
have lied a VI ry murderous effect. I was shortly obliged
to abandon mv position. as a bouthedhell fell into one of
the room* mitie. I came downstairs to find
e infusion arum confounded. The landlady had gone
• into hysterics, and the servants were all crying. The
only calm ones were tho two German ladies I before
mention, .1. We prevailid upon the landlord to make
all the women go into th • cellar, as shells were coming
thick into the hotel. To have gona out would have
been miming from the frying-pan into the fire ; all we
could do was to put the best face on matters. Two of
the correspondents left us and made their way over the
railway, but they told me afterwards that they wished
they had stayed with us in the hotel. One bomb-shell
burst right into our bitch, n on to the stove, and sent
the beefsteak. and potatoes flying up to the ceiling. It
was becon-inz rather too hot, so we all bolted into the
table it hots room, and we sat down and played whist
for a but of diversion till 'he firing took another
tion. The ladies looked on, and it roomed to do them
good to have something to eivert their attention. We
then west out arid found that the Pruesians had retired
and that the French were standing on the other side of
the brid.:e. I can only account for tin ir not crossing
the bridge through ih• ir fear of its being widernined.
• We thee took up 'outran' and walked off to • village
, about four miles off. We were there shortly joined by
' the rest of the correspondents whom we met at Saar-
bruck. The entire action lasted, according to my watch
• from ll o'clock until two.

AFTER TIIE BATTLE OF SAARBRUCK.
I .-:ended Forbach heights from the plateau curtly
in the centre of the Prussian attack; the hill is covered
with brushwood, and ri-es to a height of some 800 feet
abuse the Vain below. As I pasa.d on my way the
Pru...ians were.burying their dead, and I stood by and
listened to the simple funeral service that was pro.
notion. d over tie bodies of • lieutenant an 3 sergeant of
the 30th regiment, who were buried where they fell,
in one grave. As the bodies, rolled In their cloak,,
were low-rd, an au tibia sob by my side made me turn
roue& I found teat it came from a flue handsome-
looking fellow, who apologised to me for his manly
grief by sling, "Alt, sir, I can't help it • he was the
kindest friend and the best lieutenant in the regiment."
Proceeding up the hill I found the Prussians lying
thick, whilst every here and there the gray coat and red
trousers of the 24•11 French infantry appeared. On
the top of the first ridge there were little heaps of
French an.lPill4lllll.llll mined, whilst on the second ridge
the Freholi uniform., lay thickest. Upon reaching th
brow of the hill a heart-rending sight met my eyes
It had evidently been the last stand of the 24th :
for their uniforms, mingled with the Prussians,
lay to, the number of seventy-flee in • very
small space. Facing the road with a smile on
his face, I.y the major of the French regiment. In one
hand he clasped • sergeant's hand, and in the other a
lock of hair wrapped in a b;t of paper. Both the
sergeant and he must have been shot at the same time.
The woods to the left were, as I anticipat..l, fillet with
wounded, wl ose piteous cries were heart-rending to
hear. On the crest of the hill the Pin-situ uniforms
lay very thick. I counted more than 150 to about 30
of the French. This wan the hard-fought-for paint,
soul where all the slaughter took plies—l say advisedly,
slaughter, for it was nothing less. The unfortunate
men were still being parried into Searle it di at 12 o'clock
