WINCHESTER, FIIIIDAY Molurucc.

This morning, at eight o'clock, Thomas Jackson,
seed 19, a private in the7Bth Highlanders, who was convicted
►$ the recent ►rhes held here before Mr. Justice Williams,
at the wilful murder of John Dickson, a sergeant of the same
regiment, at Atlershott, suffered the extreme penalty of the
law at the bands of ralcraft, the common hangman, on the
pllows meted over the principal entrance to the County
99611.

Up to the last the criminal steadily refused to pay any
attention to the chaplain. and on the scaffold he was pei•
fectly U12100,1A. He died without a struggle.
Singularly enough, just as the bolt was withdrawn
a bugle call was sounded, and, ringing through the clear
frosty air, the sound bad a peculiarly mournful effect.
The morning was particularly floe and clear, but the oum.
ber of persons present did not number :100, of whom only
15 were soldiers. The criminal was clothed in his milit►ry
trousers and • fustian jacket, the same in which he was
tried.
