EXECUTIONS TO;MORIiOW.

On Sunday the six wretched men who are ordered for
execution on Wednesday next, attended divine service in
the Chapel of Nevvgate, when the Ordinary, the Rev. Mr.
Cotton, preached the condemned sermon.
They appeared serious and attentive. One of them
(Hayes) was most distressingly agitated. Some of the
other prisoners, particularly the females, were deeply at-
fected. It is understood that three of the condemned
tnewassert their innocence of the crimes of which they
were convicted, namely, King and Robinson!, for aueault-
ing• and robbing the beadle of the Episcopal Chapel, at
Bethnal-green, and Boyce, for committing in that neigh.
bourhood the like offence, upon Mr. Fuller, a surgeon ;
he was also convicted on another indictment for h►ghway
robbery..

Ilayee' who was convicted of, stealing goods in the
dwelling-house of Captain Pascal!, at Poplar, is a, man of
an astonishingly athletic forM, and. appears to be a sea-
man. He by no means expected to suffer death for his
offence, and when the awful tidings were communicated
to him by the Rev. Ordinary on Thursday evening, he fell
senseless 'on the floor of the cell. lie is a native of he-
land, and being a Catholic, has been attended by the Rev.
Mr. Devereux, a Catholic priest; and the other two un-
fortunate men are Nicholls and Goulby, who were found
guilty of a , robbery upon a poor. man at Hackney-Wick.
Nieholls has a wife in an advanced state of pregnancy,
and three children. Goulby is a poor, forlorn, orphan lad,
about 18 years of age, and has,no appearance of: ferocity
about him.

It is understood, that in. consequence of the dreadful
acts of violence and robbery which have for some time past
been committed by gangs of bullock-hunters, as they are
called, in the neighbourhood of Bethnal-green, it was re-
commended by the• Magistrates• and others, that the exe-
cution of those who were convicted 'of ..the highway rob-
beries should take place near that quarter. This proposi-
tion underwent the consideration of Qovernment, but it
was upon the whole deemed most expedient that the usual
course should not be departed from.
