NS ednesday, the lour unfortunate men who received sentence of
death at the Suffolk Assizes, viz.—Robert Bradnum, Eknjamin
Ilezelett, and John Wrieeit, for burglary, and Jahn Cheney for the
saute offence, and for horse stealing, were executed near the gaol
in Bury. Their whole demeanour, after their conviction, was
marked with the utmost propriety. They confessed the enormity
of their crimes, and the justice of their sentences, and implored
their wives and former associates to adopt a different course of life.
The number of persons assembled to witness the melancholy
spectacle of four human beings paying the forfeit of their lives to
the offended laws of their country was immense.

towards the pantry, saw a man with a basket under his arm, who

doing with the man that was talking to hint through the area win.
