L ATV INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, APRIL I.
A Bankrupt named Hall, was brought before
the Loan CH ANCE tun, removed by habeas corpus
from Newgate, where he had been committed by
the Commillioners of Bankrupts, for not having
given fati.faelory anfwers to queftious put to him
refuelling his bankruptcy.
It appeared that he had kept a book in. which he
had placed his accounts in trade with a perfon
named Hamilton, the whole of which accountshad
been dellroyed by cutting out the leaves on which
they were written.
To the interrogatories put to him refpatingfuch
a mode of proceeding, he had Rated, that his af-
fairs in the above book were extremely confuted,
and that, having occalion for a fhop book, he had
made life of that in quellion, after having cut ont
the leaves of it to prevent a young man who at-
tended in the flop from taking any notice of it. 1
Such an affertion not being confidered by the Corn-
milfioners as fatisfaitory, or a fair account, he was
committed.
Mr. Coax Paid, that the condua of the bankrupt i
appeared to him to be fair, and that the motive he
had aligned for tearing out the leaves of the book
in quedion was a reafonable one ; and if his Lord.
fhip did not proteet the man by his authority, he
would be forced to remain in a gaol, or confefs
that he had been guilty of perjury to tiled his get-
ting out.
The Conrail on the other fide contended, that
the conduit of the bankrupt wore a very fufpicious
appearance, and that he had not appeared to have
ailed in a fair anti honourable way.
His Lordfhip laid, that the bankrupt had origi.
nally made his Raiment upon oath ; it however
appeared that his conduA was open to fufpicion,
but as the CommifGoners were not in poffellion of
documents to prove that his affections were falfe,
the oath made by him mutt be confidered as a good
one. He was therefore ordered out of-tuflody.

Yefterday morning at an early hour, the crowd
began to affemble in Horlemonger-lane, to fee the
execution of feven out of the eight unfortunate
malefaCtors who were to fuller death. A refpite
of ten days having arrived on Sunday afternoon
for M'Connel (who was to fuffer for forgery) on
account of his former Cervices, particularly agxinft
fmugglers. At an early hour five of the unfor-
tunate men attended at Chapel, and were joined
in prayer by about ten other prifoners now under
fentence. They all behaved with the greateft de-
corum, and all received the faeranient, after which
they all joined again in prayer, which being end-
ed, Mr. less, the keeper, came in, and the prifo-
ners were condnaed into the prefs yard, where
their irons were knocked off; they were then
pinioned ; and the two Iri(hmen who were to ful-
ler for fetting a barn an fire, were brought from
their cell, accompanied by a Catholic Clergyman.
At about half paft eight, the Sheriff arrived, and
&only after the feven unfortunate men were con-
dulled from the prefs yard to the lodge, where
they had to afeend up two flight of Rone Rains,
and then a Rep ladder, to the flat over the lodge
where the drop was ere led ; the two Irifhmen af:

previoufly ; they behaved all the time remarkably
penitent. The next that afcended was Stephens,
a youth of about ill pars of age, for burglary, his
appearance was manly, mild, and engaging; the
fourth another young man under so, for horfe-
Reeling ; Rofe the waterman was the fifili ;—the
fixth was a lad of about 57. in a foldier's red jacket;
the feventh was the genteeleß looking; his crime
was returning from tranfportation. The laft five
afcended, accompanied by the Ordinary of the pri-
' fon ; they all behaved becoming their unfortunate
fi:uations—after prayers they joined in a hymn
at about a quarter pan nine as the Rev. Mr.
WINCRWORTH was about to leave the drop, die
Catholic Clergyman informed him that the two
Irifbmen wifli fay a few words. Mr. Ivss
was applied to by the Rev. Mr. Witicewoare,
and the requeß being granted, one of them Rep-
ped a little forward, and faid—
Geed people, I die innocent ; I confers, in the prefenee of
Goo, I had neither suft, nor part, in the crime for which I am
about to fuffer, nor the renmeeft knowledge of it. I forgive my
caemist,ane I hope I die happy."
The next man to him, which was the other
Iritliman for the fame crime, then faid—

" I 'lfs die innocent : neither of us had the lean. knowledge
of it. I hope we .ire happy ; the Loan have meaty on as."
The Clergyman then defcended from the drop,
the executioner pulled their caps over their eyes,
which time the lift man who went up, whofe crime
was returning from tranfportation, cried out loud-
Ilr(until the drop fill) a the LORD have mercy on
I me, 0 Loan have mercy on me !" At about so
minutes paft ni ie they were launched into eternity;
fume of them struggled vcry,hard, particularly the
lad in the red jacket; he was obfer red todravr breath
about a couple of minutes; after hanging the ufual
time, their bodies were cut down, and brought into
the lodge to be taken away by their friends.
