TRURO, APRIL to.

The awful solemnity of a public execution, wh:ch,
thanks to the portion of morality and good order
that still remains among us, is seldom seen in this
county. drew together a numerous assemblage of
people on Wednesday last, at Boomin, to witness
the death of lere Inao,meee and yam,. Jayee,
demised at rive late assizes at Laonceston, for break-
ing into, and robbinz the house of Mrs. I'yeth of
that war.leA M.ore. whose execution was also
appointed for this day, had received a respite from
the Sheriff, for fourteen days longer. The unhappy
viaims of the injured laws being of the Roman
Catholic persuasion, had been sedulously attended
by Mons. Moriland, a French priest from the nun-
nery at Laoherne ; and they were evidently indebted
to the zeal and humanity of that gentleman for the
religious fortitude wish which they met their fate.
About one o'clock they appeared on the drop plat-
form of the gallows, ereded without the prison
wall. As they passed through the prison court,
Willia.mson,looking up to thewi ndows of the keeper's
apartments, exclasmed. with religious gratitude,
,s Gad bless M►. and.MT, Chapple and their family,
for their kindness towards us." Mons. Moriland
attended them to the scaffold, where they knelt
Down and communed with him for some minutes i❑
a low voice, frequently laying their hands on their
hearts in token of their sincerity, and crossing them-
selves in sign of their faith and reliance on the
Freat atonement made for the sins of mankind.
I. he priesthaving performed his office, they stood up:
and Joyce addressing the spectators, confessed the
justice of the sentence under which they suffered,
declaring that he was the projedor of the robbery,
and that Williamson had agreed to join him; but
that no falser person whatever was concerned in it.
Williamson then made a similar declaration ; and,
alluding to a suspicion which had gone abroad,
that he had been concerned in the murder of
Lord Kilwarden, affirmed that he never had
been concerned in any murder, nor in any rob-
bery but that for which they were condemned to die.
He ascribed his unhappy fate to a habit of driuk:ng,
to gratify which he had been induced to commix the
offence for which they were about to suffer. 'L'hry
mingled their declarations with earnest intreaties to
their hearers to pray to God to have mercy upon
them, and with exhortations to avoid such crimes
as had brought them to this miserable end ; parti-
cularly drunkenness, the too frequent bane of virtue
and happiness. While the executioner was tying
them up, and drawing their caps over their feces,
they continued incessantly in prayer to God to have
mercy upon their souls, and when the fatal moment
was come, they communicated to each other that
they were ready, Joyce dropped his handkerchief,
as a signal to the executioner—the drop instantly
fell—and they were launched into eternity !
