a moil refpesiable gentleman on the Circuit, arid
is fuppofed to have obtained a reprieve from bans
known to molt of the Gentlemen at the Bar in this
fituation ; a favour which his demeanor little en-
titled him to, as it was highly nidecorous. even
immediately on coming out of Court after his con-
demnation.

Ingram, conviaed of dealing a large quantity
of potatoes, when the Jul y pronouncenim guilty,
and acquitted tht youth who was indided with
him, very earneftly entreated the attention of the
Judge, raying he had one more favour to atk of his
Lorclfhip ; tt was to beg that his Lordfhip would
order Lim payment for his lots of time ! This re-
quell excited a fmile in Court, and can no other-
wife be accounted for than by fuppoling that the
prifoner miltook the verdiEt.

T. Elms, C. Vincent, J. Davis, and A. Lock, re-
main fix execution on Tuciday the 24th inttant,

obtaining a uepticse in the interval.
At the Mixes of Hertford five prifoners receiv-

for robbing his matter of two !beep was left for

man four days on a charge of ftealing a pail of

The affixes for Effie doted at Chelmsford on
Friday morning. laft, when out of the long calen-
dar of t t 7 criminals, the following twenty. fight re-
ceived fentence of death, having been convided of

ful Writings of Tom Paine, which had anfortunatc-
ly fallen into his hands !"
At the Chelmsford affixes tlB prifoners were
tried, 28 of whom received fenteece of death.
When Robert Jewell, for burglary, received fen-
tence, he addreffed the Court and begged to be
heard for a few minutes. He laid, he was a far-
mer's fon, in Norfolk, and was decently educated.
Until the age of 3s, he led a virtuous and fober
life, fearing GOD and honouring the King, when
he had the misfortune of becoming acquainted with
perfons who were admirers of Paine's writings,
which were put into his hands. He often read and
confidered them, and the planfibilicy of the afier-
tions and arguments fo far over-powered his rea fon,
that he became a convert to Paine's dodrines, an
confidercd the Scriptures as cunning fables, invent- ,
cd to impale upon and deceive the generality of '
mankind for the benefit of a few. Having married
and become the father of a family, and the hard-
nefs of the times obliging him to work early and
late, he took that courfe of life which had b might
him to the gallows. He was under great obliga•
lions to the Chaplain attending the pri ion, fur open-
ing his eyes and convincing him of the dangerous
opinions he had imbibed, and teaching him the
true doctrine of Chriftanity ; he thanked Goo he
was flopped Ihort iu his wicked nr,urfe, before he
had committed the et ime of murder, and hoped,
through the merits of his S ‘v:OUlt. to be raved.
But he did not defpife life, and it mercy could be
extended through the recommendation of his s Lord-
(hip, he would continue to pray to Haar ha for his
gracious Sovereign, and endeavour again to be a
ufeful and loyal fubjed; but if not, he would meet
his fate with Chrifiian refignation, humbly uniting
in the mercy of Gon, and begging moft earneftly
that his children might be taken care of.
Mr. Baron Hos- aa sr fluke to the prifoner in a
humane and affeding manner, and concluded with
telling him that mercy here could not be extended
to him, confillent with the due adminiftmtion of
the law, and that he mull prepare himfclf to meet
that awful moment when lie mull appear before
another Tribunal, where fincere repentance and
contrition might induce him to hope to meet with .
that mercy which could not be extended to him in
this world.
