EXECUTION OFtiiXMTNFOR MURDER.

From the Limerick Obserrer.l

MoodsTT, at an early hour, the manes leading to the county
gaol weretsrowded with an immense muldtede, &ennobled so b&aa
the execution of (Herne and the two Minnanes, for the murder ot
Major Hare ; and of Hawley and the two Flinn, for that of John
Hammy dnver to the Hon. Colonel Fitz•Cibbon's attars near
Abbeyfeele.
-

Precisely at twenty minutes after one aparty of the dragoon
'4lB and • small party of infantry strived at the gaol, and
ihortly after those for the murder of Major Hare walked out of
their cells, attended each by two clergymen. When find 'hey came
kit eight of the fatal scaffidd they knelt down, and appeared rery
much absorbed with their devotions. James .Illinnarte walked first,
and was followed by Greene. The last who came up was Patrick
Minnane, whose conduct and appearance indicated much fortitude
and resignation. They were all dressed in white baize, and the
clergymen who attended them were in their full robes. Whew the
executioner made his appearance, in order to adjust the ropes,
a murmur of disapprobation ran throughout the entire multitude.
After they had remained some time on the scaffold at their &se-
&ions, in which the voice of Patrick Alinnane was audible to all
around, from the clearness and distinctness with which be answered
the clergymen, they kissed each other, and bade the clergymen oral
the persons around them farewell. Patrick Minnane, whore de-
meanour throughout the entire awful scene was that of • person of
courage and piety deserving a different fate, then addressed the
crowd in nearly the following words:—
" My friends, we entreat you to implore the merry of God for
ue, through the merits of his blessed Son and of the Virgin Mary,
that he may pardon us 'sue sins and offences, and that he may have
mercy on our souls. Our advice to you is, to shun silted advice,
to avoid evil company, and not to frequent public-homes, except
on necessary occasions—avoid trivial occurrences, which will come,
by eepeution, to weightier offences. Had we all the devotion gad
Christianity which was recommended to us by our clergymen we
would not arrive at this fate—had we attended to the directions of
our Catholic clergy there would have been no occasion for this scaf-
fold and that fatal stake, or for those ropes and the multitude
before us__had we abided by their directions at the Holy Altar, it
is evident that this would not he our fatal end. On the other hand,
it is not informations, rot indictments, nor capiaus, that wail be
the means of pacifying the county of Limerick, but the advice and
the exhortations of the clergy. (I ! toy friends, avoid whiekey-
drinking, and cursing and swoaring--have nothir.g to do with
coaiblnations—be constant in attending the Holy Mass.--abide by
what your clergy say, ar.d (hod will assist you all, sad may he
have mercy on our souls."
These words he spoke in a clear, strong, and audible tone of
voice, which was heard by the crowd at the fcot of the scaffold,
on whom it is to be hoped that these few sensible remarks trona
one of themselves, in his final moments, will make a lasting im-
pression. At die conclusion of these sentences, they knelt on the
scaffold, and remained in that attitude praying fof a few minutes.
As the hangman put the rope round the neck of James Al innane,
a strong flush of red appeared in his countenance, while on Patrick,
who wan next him, and stood in the centre, it did not make the
least visible change. Greene was at too great a distance for us to
observe what effect it had on him. The executioner had descended
the scaffold, and the Clergymen were about to retire, when l'atrirk
Alinnane remarked. that Mini the looseness of the tying round its
arms, he feared that he was too much at liberty, and desired to
have himself store ti.;litly pinioned. which was accordingly done ;
and after the most solemn and awful silence for about a minute, the
fatal drop tell, and this world closed on the eyes of the unfortunate
men for ever. They died without much rruggle, except fix a very
short while; a slisht convulsive shivering was observable throughout
Ureeite's entire frame.

After hanging the usual time. their bodies were taken dowse, me.d
removed to a back-yard of the gaol.
The fatal trap was again adjusted, and the ropes arranged, whin
3lurtogh and Daniel Flinn, and Cawley, their servant, attended
by the same Clergymen. and attired in the same manure as the
three former. ascended the scaffold, where, having remairad a short
while attending to their devotions, Daniel Flinn, who spoke in
Irish. requested the prayers of the people, and declared that he
was not present at the murder, but knew before hand of its corn.
•mittal. The other two acknowledged their guilt, and beg:ld ot
all to pray to Clod to pardon them. In a minute or two atter the
ropes being adjusted, the drop again fell, and this woad and all
its eanieiew eisappeared for ever from their sight. Daniel Flinn
died wi:hout much pain ; but the struggles of 3furtogh Lasted for
a very long while—he continued to tlittnli) his breast incessantly ter
more than four minutes, and kicked very :Hued—altogether he atip
peered to have died with a great deal of p.dn. Their bullies hay-
trig hung the required time were taken Mas i. and the six were
removed that evening to the Comte Ilismizal, where they were
dissected and anatomised. The awful spectacle of this day will.
we hope, be productive of the most beneficial results on an who
the melancholy, but absolutely necessary, riatuple made
vf •
these unfortunate beings, whose fate, had they followed good
advice. might have been very different.
At the particular request of the /liana and Dawley, they have
bun attended since their conviction, by the Rey. Mr. Fitzgerald.
of Ablieyfeale, their Parish Priest. whose unremitting assiduity
and exhortations produced the most wonderful change in their
moats, and fitted them for meeting death with resignation.
The morning preceding his execution. Patrick ilinnane was
married in the roetc::y Jail, to a woman by whom he had two
children.
