THE EXECUTION,

ON SATURDAY,

[The following appeared in our Extra Edition of

Saturday

The horrors of a public execution have again
been enacted in this County. Jonathan Heywood
was this day brought to the gallows, for the
murder of Margaret Jones, and suffered death in
expiation of his fearful crime against society.

When the inhabitants of Kirkdale awoke to
pursue their usual avocations, they found the
judicial preparations already made. The awful
apparatus of death had been erected on the north-
west front of the Kirkdale jail, over the walls of
which floated the black flag, indicative of the
tragedy about to be enacted.

TEN O'CLOCK

Long before this hour preparations were made
by the authorities in the usual way, and a strong
wooden barricade was erected in front of the drop,
corresponding with the area of the walls, and this
was kept by Superintendent Boyd, Inspectors
Gardiner, Hames, Hough, Morrough, Tomlinson,
Hazel, and 150 men of the force of the borough.

The crowd at this time did not consist of more
than 300 persons, and these chiefly of young
people of from 16 to 18 years of age.

The morning was very wet, and it was supposed
that this circumstance would prevent a large

crowd collecting, but as the time of the execution
approached, large streams of people began to pour
in from all quarters. There was a lady name d
Lee, the wife of a primitive preacher, and her
exertions in distributing tracts through the crowd
were very remarkable. There were also a number
of Town Missionaries, amongst whom were Messrs
Sanners, Parry; Holgate, and Sheppard, and these
addressed the crowd alternately, exhorting them
to repentance. They also chaunted psalms. The
people were also addressed by Mr. Jones, Mr.
Booth, Mr. Brown, and Mr. Radcliffe, in the same
strain.

We may here observe, once for all, that the
conduct of the people, from first to last, was
decorous in the extreme ; and we are glad of it.
If public executions are made for example sake,
as well as punishment, then it must be gratify-
ing to find that the spectators appear sensible of
such examples, and preserve the gravity befitting
such occasions. We were glad to find that the
attendance of females was very meagre, and those
who were present were of the humblest classes,
with a few exceptions where we observed well
dressed young females in the crowd.

ELEVEN O'CLOCK.

POLICE COURT.-SATURDAY.

(BEFORE ME. HAYWOOD.)

THE " SWELL-MOB " AT JENNY LIND'S CONCERT.---11;
well-dressed, respectable looking young man, who gave
the name of William Johnson, was charged by Detective-
officer Povey, under the following circumstances : Povey
stated that he was on duty on Friday night at the
Philharmonic Rooms, on the occasion of Jenny Lind's
concert, and that between eleven and twelve o'clock he
observed the prisoner loitering about the corridor and
mixing with the company wo were then separating,
Knowing the prisoner to be a pickpocket, and also
knowing that a gentleman had been robbed of his watch
just previously, Povey took him into custody, but foul"(
nothing upon him_ The magistrate asked if the prisoner
had been one of the audience ? Povey replied that he
had not, but that he had managed by some means to
push his way into the corridor. In answer to Mr,
Clough, the officer also stated that he had no ticket foi
the concert. The magistrate said that he had no doubt
as to what was the prisoner's intention, but as nothing
had been found upon him he should discharge him with
a caution.—Thomas Ferguson and Elizabeth Ward
were also brought up on the same charge, and were
discharged under the like circumstances.

FORGING A PAWNTICRET.— David Garritty, a porter,
in the employ of Mr. Valentine, boarding-house keeper,
Gorse, and John Chevens, formerly barman to Mr.
Cotterall, were charged with forging a pawntieket.
It appeared that in October last Garritty pledged a rule
for 6d., at the office of Mr. Thomas, pawnbroker, Dail
street, and that last week the same ticket, but altered ail
if it had been given for a Geneva watch pledged for 105.,
was presented by a young man. He stated that it wai
worth 10s., but as no watch answering the descrip
tion could be found, he was requested to call again,
I-Is accordingly did so, and when the forgery was then
discovered, he declared that he had purchased it from
the prisoner Chevins, who was immediately arrested,
Chevins did not deny that he had sold the ticket, bul
declared that he had purchased it as it then stood from
Garritty, for 2s. Garritty stated that he gave the tiekei
to Chevins as security for a small loan, but denied tha
he had ever altered it. Both prisoners were remanded
until this day (Monday).
(BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD.)
EFFECTS or PASSION.— A young man, named Stephex
Wright, in the employ of Mr. McKeckin, cork-cutter, o
Cooper's row, was charged with cutting a fellow appren
tire, named John Maynard, on the hand. Whil
working together the prosecutor asked the prisoner km
a little oil, and on his refusing the request, Maynard
dipped his finger into his ail cup. Upon this the
prisoner drew his cork-cutting knife, and, drawing it
across the back of Maynard's hand, cut him to the bone
He pleaded that he had not intended to wound him, bu
the foreman of the establishment stated that he was of
most ungovernable temper, and that whenever offender
he resorted to the use of the knife. He was fined 201
and costs, or in default to be imprisoned for two months.

We are informed that the East India Coal Company
obtained its certificate of complete registration under the
Limited Liability Act of 1855, on the 27th ult. The
steam engines and machinery for working the mines on a
large scale are now in course of shipment to Calcutta,
The receipts of the London and Blackwall railway fos
the half year are 35,1921, against 38,3291 for the correspon-
ding period ending Christmas, 1854. It is stated that
this decrease is in a great measure due to the transference
to Portsmouth of much of the business connected with
the government transport service. The traffic arising
from the New Victoria docks is regarded with hopeful
anticipations by the shareholders.
THE EMBEZZLEMENTS BY A SUPERINTENDENT or
POLICE.—The late Superintendent of Police at South
Shields, named Buglass, was tried at the Durham Sessions
on Monday last on a charge of having fraudulently em-
bezzled divers sums of money, the monies of the mayor,•
aldermen, and burgesses of South Shields. The jury, in
returning their verdict of guilty, recommended the pri-
soner to mercy, on the ground that " be had previously
borne a good character, and that he had fallen into difli-
cuties." The Chairman sentenced the prisoner to one
year's hard labour.
