TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

DIRE

To shew the extent of depravity of which the
human mind is capable, and to prove that With Out a
sense of religion " the-heart iscallcus," you are re_
quested to insert in your useful paper the following
extraCt from she Annual Register fur the year 5771,
page John Chapman was executed fur rob.
ping Martha Hewitt : on setting out.for the place
of execution, a hook was put into his hands by the
hangman, Which he no sooner received than he
threw amongst the populace ; a Clergyman then got
into the. cart, and enhorted him to behave with
more decency, and to think of his sudden change :
instead of attending to his admonition, hg got up
in the cart, and (being pinioned) drove his head
into the Clergyman's belly; and tumbled'him out of
the cart ; after this, he flung himself out, but was

prevented escaping by the irons with whk , was
loaded, he was then seized and tied by ropes in the
cart, and so carried to the fatal tree ; at his arrival
there, he refused either to hear prayers, or to pray
himself; two men with the hangman attempting to
lift him up with the rope about his neck, he by
some means gOt the hangman's thumb into his
mouth, and almost separated it from his hand ; he
was at length tied up, and died exulting in -his
offences." This wretch, however, did not by. a
seditious harangue, endeavour to seduce others to
follow his miserable-example.
