DRABS; NOVEMBER 4.

The preparations for the approaching exeentiun have
already commenced. In every- respect the tunic t
twins used on such awful occasions are to.be adhered
to as ebsely as possible. A teriop of horse will attend.
The last terrible scene will take place on the Nev
Drop in front of the prison. The executioner, a Let
,cestershire man, who formerly acted as hangman rr
Derby, occasionally visits the gaol, by way of slew
