MR. PAUNTLERoY.

The ng follows particulars respecting Mr. Fattuleroi
- • .
are taken from Bells Weekly Dispatch.
It is net true, as stated in many of the papers, that
_Mr. Fauntleroy was after his conviction fettered and
taken to a cell. He was, by the Indulgence of the
Sheriffs, permitted to return to his former a.partmems,
where he is still attended by Mr. and Mrs. Harlis,...,yht,
treat him with the greatest kindness. There are many
other false reports in circulation respecting this iinfor.
tunate Gentle Man, which we 'shall take the proper op.
portunity of contradicting.
Immediately after the publication of Nr.F4untlerny's
defence, several humane individuals recommehde.l cle
propriety of preparing petitions for public Signature;
and 'in consequence of. that suggestion, petitionc; ,
which the following are copies, have been drawn
and left for signature at several places.
TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY IN COUNCIL,
We, the undersigned, considering the peculiar cireumst,,•,,l
which led the unfortunate Mr. Henry Fauntleroy to commit the
offence for which he is sentenced to suffer the most awful punish.
ment of death, and feeling the utmost commiseration for his fate,
must humbly and earnestly supplicate your Most Gracious MajeTy
to extend your Royal clemency to the unhappy man, and met ciluily
spare his life.
And your Petitioners will, as in duty bound, for ever pray.
The private friends of Mr. Fauntleroy have also pre.
pared a petition, of which the following is a copy, and
which will doubtless be numerously signed :
TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY IN COUNCIL.
The humble Petition of the undersigned individuals,
Most humby sheweth,
That all your petitioners have been personally and intimately
quainted, many of them for several years, with the unfortunate Al%
Henry Fauntleroy, who is doomed to suffer an ignominious ticaCa
for having offended the laws of his country.
That your.pesitioners, without impugning the justice of the sen-
tence passed on Mr. Fauntleroy, venture still to implore that its sc.
verity may, in some degree, be mitigated, so far at least that his lift.
may be spared.
That your petitioners respectfully presume to interest theme:la,:
of behalf of the unhappy prisoner, from a knowledge of the bene-
volence of his heart, the liberality of his disposition, and, with the
exception of the crime imputed to ham, the hunour and tuts gtity
which he evinced in all the transactions of his life.

Your petitioners theref9ee must humbly supplicate your klajesty
to take into your benevolent consideration the sufferings which the
unfortunate prisoner must for years past have endured, and in pity
to him, his amiable and venerable mother, his respectable family,
and these numerous friends who feel the deepest interest in his fate,
graciously condescend to remit the dreadful punir‘eaent of death.
And your Petitioners, as in duty boucd,.will for ever pray.

Besides these, the wile of the unhappy prisoner has
herself written a petition, and has expressed, as we nn.
derstand, her determination, if possible, to presei.t it in
person to the King. We have been fitvoured a, ith
copy of this Lady's petition, which is as follows :
