discharged a pistol full of swan shot into the body of the unfortu-
nate workman. For the purpose of pro.lucing a striking effect, •
scaffold is to be erected in front of the gaol, where Kean is to be
whipped on the 11th May, by the common executioner, before be•
ing taken to Botany Bay for life. The two persona who attempted
to let this criminal esesne have been sentenced to 18 months hard
labour in Bridewell—Gluene
