behind the bar, he seemed to be for some moments
absorbed in the .contemplation of his awful des-

cheek,- a faint perspiratiOn was observed to
overspread it,'and all the horrors of his situation
appeared to burst on his imagination. Reviving
to a consciousness of the presence of the few indi-
viduals who surroutikled him, he made an effort to
resume his wonted Composure, and answered one

pipe ?" He replied in the affirmative, and a small
part of a tobacco pipe, not more than three inches
in length, was brought to him, which he haffuSed
before. One of the men who guarded him, ob-
served to the person who brought it, " that he
might have accomtnodated him with a clean one."
'Brandreth,7however,,.made no objection to it ; lie
'received it with an 'awkward bow of gratitude,
placed it in his mouth, and iminediately began to
smoke in the Court. •"'
Some female servants connected with the Of-
fices about the Hall, were attracted by curiosity
to gaze on the convict. His deplorable situation
moved their pity, and they asked him, " If he

added, " I do not intend to make any." The
