About this time a huge pile of bricks, situate near the
front of the Gaol, fell with a tremendous crash, and a

Walter desired Andrews to follow him; the unhappy
man arose, assiited by tv o of the turnkeys, and walked
steadily and upright. At the door he was met by sonic
ilficers of the Sheriff, and his aims were pinioned by
Jack Ketch. -He then was led back into the Chapel.
Buckley was then pinioned in the same way. This
part of the proceedings being complete, Me. Abbott
►n d his officers, with white wands, quittei the Chapel.
The Chaplain commenced reading ilo .d the Burial
Service, and the two criminals were conducted to the
scaffold,

" With an the silent dignity of woe,
With all the mournful inaisety of death,
neural and soknus to their awful fate!"
At the door kadinf to the yard the sledge was drawn
up, and the executioner stood with a drawn sword.
Buckley looked up at the gallows, and trinshled for a
rpoment, he then stepped into the sledge, and sat down,
followed by Andrews, who exclaimed rapeatedly,44 Oh,
GOD, be merciful! CHRIST save us!" The executioner
got into the machine, and, grasping Andrews by;the

around, and ascended the scaffold instantly, And while
the hangman was adju►ting the rope, he looked round
in every direction with a sharp inquiries eye, and ap-
peared to regard the preparations for his death with
some curiosity. Mr. Walter *book hands with him and
back him good bye. Andrews was then placed by his
side; he commenced singing a penitential psalm, and at
its conclusion, ejaculated frequent entreaties so Heaven
for mercy. The Chaplain and Mt. Penn were net the
platform with some others, and after a few minty.s
occupied in prayer, all retired from the staff std. The
Chaplain had scarcely descended the last steps leading
to it before the drop fell, and they were left 'impended,
and were almost instantly dead. After hanging an hour,
their bodies were cut down, and conveyed into the gaol.
