DEATII OP JACK KETCH.

A few days ago Jack Cheshire, one of the pub;, d
executioners for the metropolis, breathed his last r ll
his lodgings in Dell-court, Giltspui-street. Ile i A
said to have been one of the must expert men .. ri
the dreadful trade, and has ahvaya spoken of k,, 1
.::.?
performance. on the platform, when Thistlewoud ;'.i.,. :i4
his companions were despatched, as a ttstele ,
skill, steadiness, and tact. There are no feWer ilia
Five candidates for the vacant °nice, which will b. l':-
disposed of in a Committee of Aldermen in 11, c
course of the week. It is suggested to Aldem;,
Wood that it would be proper to raise the ciht.,
from a guinea a week to 255., on account of the co . 0
tinuation of the pentety of death • foe forgery ; toi '..:
the Alderman refuSed to make any propaalial , ''!:
the kind, in the conviction that the Comnit,tee ,:,.]

Bankers ought to remunerate any future "itnitil4. 17,7
demolisher," in consideratiou of the addiional job. PI,
which their indefatigable labours provided for hit:, et
Cheshire always had the greatest term,. if the
surrectionmen, and %vas often told by thoso of 'fv,
class who at list fell within his clutches, thA
" trade" would have him ut any rif,k when
mortal career should be terminated. His last I,vor,

, ,
were upon this subject. He requested that b 1,,
bleshing might be given to Mr. tVontner, the G, r,
vernor of Newgat', and that gentleman's famii) A
accompanied by the solemn entreaty that , his 1-;";
mains should be bullied in Netvgate. It lots, bov 6,
ever, been thought proper to give him " Chrik.ti,e
burial," and that St. Sepulchre's churchyard 1.1-,, l'.l
receive the body of the most ingenious of exec o. 'IA
tioners. His wife, in the apprehension that, L.' ;7i
attempt woula be made to t,teal ti,e corpse, tictuail, t;

the noise of soma of the " snatchers," who at f)
tempted to pin tin entrance at the two-pair of fotai.
window. When Cheshire officiated at 110r4,4•

monger-lane laol, be was obliged to pedort» tL
whole ceremony, and the manner in which be pi.;
formed part of it was truly appalling.. After i 6, ..,.
bolt is pulled, it is usual for the functionary to tal 11
hold of the body, in order to render the passage t i:4l
the other world us quick as possible. Cheshire,
