with this essidnendadon, application was made to the proper quarter,

sued to administer to him the comforts of our faith. In the early part
of the night he is described as having been in a very districted

when asked to compote himself, be laid be could not help it ;
towards however, his mind became seeded. Exactly
at eight of:GeV/dm Magistrates took their places se the bench in
the Court Hall, and the prisoner was brought up dressed in black, with
white glom. Though considerably paler than at the time of his trial,
his looks and step wee quite firm; and his eye had lost mine of its
quickness. He looked round on those near him with perfect calmness,
and readily understood and followed every and= of the dlicial per.

Monday following his apprebenslee, though he was doubtless much
more emaciated. A lgrinse of wine was held to his lips, of which
he sipped a small quantity. The ceder was then given by a wave
of the hand from Bailie Robertson, the sealer magistrate, and
the prisoner was led to the scafibld, supported by es alert on

Fisher, Chaplain to the Usol, and Wither Gentleman. lUD masse was
