EXECUTIONS OF MUTINEERS.

Yesterday afternoon, Sept. 17, at half-past four
o'clock, our station (Kurrachee) was in a high state of ex-
citement, owing to its having become known that the general
court-martial assembled for the trial of the mutineers of the
21st Native Infantry had finished its proceedings; and from
seeing the gallows previously erected a some wee expected.
Very shortly after that hour, the four companies of the 2nd
European Regiment arrived on the ground, with the con-
demned prisoners on their reverse flank in slurries, escorted
hy a strong guard under an officer. Presently came the 2lat
Native Infantry, then the 14th Native Infantry, and Hone
Artillery.
The prisoners were then taken out of the gharriee, and
their names called over by the brigade-major, and the first
mono, who were condemned to be hung with the other three
condemned to be blown away, were marched to the rear of
the gsllowo, between their late regiment and that erection.
The court-martial and sentence of the court were then reed in
English by the brigade-major, and ably translated in an
audible voice by Major Goldsmith The seven prisoners for
the scaffold were then marched up to its steps, and ascended
without much assistance. One man only yoke when on
the drop. He stated, " it war his fleet offence, and It was
to tare hanging him : be had done 14 year,, nokrie." The
ropes being adjusted after some little delay, the culprits
being faced about to meet the gaze of their late corps, the
signal wee given, and the seven unfortunate rascals wore
launched into eternity. It was now found it would
not do to blow away the remaining three in the equisre when
the gallows had been erected, so the brigade war moved off
about 200 yards towards the coal/an between the Sappm'
lima, where three guns of the Hone Artillery were unlim-
bered, when the three eentenced to be blown away met with
their doom.
The brigade remained on the ground half-an-hour, during
• which time the bodies were left hanging, and then cut down
