" OULD TOM CHESSIIIRE"-TUE HANG

MAN.

" Ould Tom" leas" gone the circuit" many sears;
has been as far north as Lancaster, and has occasion-
ally executed the, lasting duties of his enviable office
as the-epigram of the law in this and the adjoining'
counties, for along time. ". Tom" is nearly 70 years
of age, and looks the character which he plays in the
great drama of the world admirably. -Nye do: not
profess to be intimately initiated into the sapient
mysteries d craz:Ology, but we really think ifa human
creature ever
.pce;scssed the " blimp" -of hangmaiti-
tiveness, it 'is developed most conspicuously o.
" Tam's" cranium. th: deduces his descent from a
family, of course `` of the higheSt respectability," in'
the county of Worcester, and in his younger days
served his, country, in the support of those la-air
which he nowfini.thes, in the navy.
On the morning of Saturday last whilst the
wretched convicts, Field, Burnett, and White, were
ruminating, in the dark and cola solitude of their
cells, on the few 'minutes left to than of- mortality,
" Tom" .was amusing the turnkeys, in a room near
to the drop, in the detail of a few of the incidents
which have marked his eventful life, till Mr. East-
staff entered tlm room, and a new halter was shown
to the orator.. He examined it with r. scrutinizing
eye, and untwisting a partef it,applied it to hie nose,
—for,: no doubt the smell of a well. t‘visted rope is
as-pleasant to Tom's olfactory nerves as " the sweet
breath of the south stealing o'er a •hed o violets."
.Twice and thrice was the rope snuffed at, when at
last he held it at arm's length from him, and broke
out into the following eloquent cord criticism; " Vy
1 say, master, it smells o' junk, and ben't twisted as
banter should be; now here's one (making an ex-
•tract from his pocket). Summut like; it ' cost me-
eighteen-pence. I've tried all them there ropes with
my own weight, at a three-foot or three4oot-two
drop; and they'll bear an) chuck." Then turning
round, and addressing a respectable builder of the
town, he added, "I'm a droll hand to • go loose."—
There, seemed to be a general coincidence of opinion,
In this remark.
Tom Was asko how ninny of
.hiS fellow-creatures
lie had relieved of their lkorldly cares ?
" Vy, I've knocked .off somewhere about five hun-
dred and fifty, and never had a haccident, because I
always carries a good rope.. These three (adverting
to the unfortunate sufferers.about to be consigned to
his merciless hands) makes three more, and then I've
another at Oxford, and three more a' Wensday at
Nevegate-!--so it's busy work." A loud yell, which
Tom, nol doubt, would call a laugh, marked the
wretch's exultation at the thriving state of his
I trade.
In the course of the morning " Ould Tom" had
made an inspection of the dreadful machine on which
he was about to operate. He was asked whether
lie approved the plan of it ?
" I calls it a foolish sort of thing; it's like going
up a church steeple to get a top on .it." It was in-
timated to him—for " Tom" has always an eye to
business,--sthat Field had a good watch ,in his
pocket, which, by the bye, was not the fact, and was
named solely to excite his unfeeling rapacity. " Then
it belongi to me, and as soon as he's off, I'll bone it.
I don't much mind their clothes, and if their friends
want 'ern, they shall have 'can for a fair price."
Tom now thrust his legs nearly into the ash-hole
of the fire-grate, and rubbing them with his hands,
(which seemed not to have come in contact with soap
for the laSt year), with an expression of the highest
satisfaction at his exploits, lie entered into a long
narrative of some of the, principal executions at
which he had attended :—" I did the business for
Mester Fontilry (Fauntleroy) in style ; every body
said I did it well; and it was a good job, for I got
above 3/. for his clothes. I tucked up Thistlewood
and all them chaps, and held all their heads (another
yell) in this here hand,"—spreading out his arm.
" There was a lot on 'em ; -they never complain after
me !" Tom, of course, judged this to be a palpable
hit, and its excellence' called forth a reiterated howl
of exultation. •
In this heartless way did " Mister Thomas
Chesshyre,"—so he designates himself, proceed, till it
was announced that the prisoners had finished their
ihnoi°rrnibtlheenmm, (Nisei with
lifea n
w alacrityas to
o
last devotions in the chapel—and then lie hurried
othuatttholips
him which
realsh opllvecad-
sure !—When asked where he lived, he gage in the
following notification of the locus in quo of his do-
micile :—" I ar'n't shamed of my name—it's Mister
Thomas Chesshyre, and I lives at No. 2, St. James'S-
I street, Oliver Mount, Shoreditch,Lunnon."-.—Berks
Tonicle.

The Ladies PAGET have been pleasea to
signify their intention to patronize a Ball, to take, place on
Easter Monday, in behalf of the funds for relief of Sick and
Indigent Room-keepers.—Dutlin Evening Post.
lhe HOrticultural Society have, it is said,
abandoned the idea of giving a public breakfast this season,
because many of the visitors were nearly starved at the last.
,'Twas a shabby zoncern, and a worse act out.
