cuted in front of the Debtors'-door of Newgate-
The unfortunate individuals were convicted !t
the last Old. Bailey Sessions, and ever since Wl'
condemnation have behaved with the utmost Pre:
priety, and paid every attention to the religi°°-
consolation and advice of the Rev.. Mr. Covrori"
A. little before eight o'clock, Mr. Sheriff
NABLES, and his attendants, proceeded to t.',l
Press-room, where the two persons were seat'.
with the Ordinary and Mr. BAKER.—John TYe,i
'for passing forged notes, was then called on, 3i;
during the time of knocking the manacles fr°,
his limbs, maintained the most persevering OW;
turnity, and appeared perfectly. resigned. t
was long known as an offender of the first class,
merely for passing simulated paper, .but as an ut;
terer of bad. coin..—Edw. Risers, the youth, vf!
also for a similar offence,; and suffered the suni":
ignominious death. This ill-fated youth apPear:
to have been made the dupe of more designie"
offenders ; his conduct was firm in the estrew.ei;
On the approach to the drop, while Tye was.,h,
the hands of the executioner, Mr. BROWN, ve,...a
his accustomed humanity, asked Rivers if he ow
any request to make, to which he -replied, " tell
my sister I wish her to follow me to the gravel
Upon his making this reply an individllact
whom it appears Rivers had lived with, stePPe
forward and inquired of him if he knew a;
thing of a robbery that had been committed iltat
unhappy criminal appeared much disconcerteu,
his attempt to embitter his last moments, but ex
claimed, with considerable emphasis," So help Imto
God I knew nothing of it on the Saturday oig,h.on
This person's conduct excited some intlignalire
amongst the few respectable individuals that Wetbe
present. The lad was then placed upon ,hir.
scaffold, and _Mr. BAKER, whose praisew"`4,l
attentions did not cease until the drop
tended him to the platform. On the preparatit lo•
being completed, after a few minutes span ~ed
devotion, the unhappy culprits were re01i"...„.
from this world without haidly a .strugg, ;la` crowd, was not so numerous as on
occasions.
