The disgust felt society ,
conduct of these wretches occasioned many thoiminds
to become spectators of their punishment. At an
early hour the Old Bailey was completely blockaded,
and the increase of the mob about twelve o'clock pat
a stop to the business of the Sessions. The shopsfrom
Ludgate Hill to the Haymarket were shat ip, and
the streets lined with people, waiting to me **offen-
ders pass. Four of the latter had been rensowid from
the House of Correction to Newgate on Wednesday
evening, and being Joined by Cooke and Amos. they
were all ready to proceed to the place of punishment.
About twelve o'clock the Sheriffs and City Marshals
arrived with more Than 100 constables mounted and
armed with pistols, and 100 on foot. This force
was ordered to rendezvous in the Old Bailey Yari,
where a caravan, used occasionally for eonveying
prisoners from the jails of London to the Hulk.,
waited to receive the culprits. The caravan was
drawn by two shaft horses, led by two men, armed
with a brace of pistols. The gates of *Old Bailey.
Yard were shut, and all strangers turned nat..
'.The miscreants were then brought out and placed in
the. caravan. Amos began a laugh, which induced
his vile companions to reprove him, and they all sat
upright, apparently in a composed state, but having
cast their eyes upwards, the sight of the spectators on
the tops of the houses operated strongly Cu their fears,
and they soon appeared to feel terror and dismay.—
at the instant the church clock went half past twelve,
the gates were thrown open. The mob at the same
time attempted to force their aay in, but they were
repulsed. A great sortie of the police was then made.
About 60 officers, armed and mounted as before de.
scribed, went forward with, the City Marshals. The
caravan went next, followed by about 40 officers and
the Sheriffs. The first salute received by the offend-
ten was a volley of mud, and a serenade of hisses,
hooting, and execrations, which compelled them to
fall fiat on their faces in the caravan. The mob,
and particularly the women, had piled up balls of
mud to afford the objects of their indignation a warm
reception. The depots in many places appeared like
pyramids of shot in a gun-wharf. These were soon ex-
hausted, and when the caravan passed the old house
which once belonged to the notorious Jonathan Wild,
the prisoners resembled bears dipped in a stagnantpooL
The shower of mud continued during their poser
to the Haymarket. Before they reached half way to
the scene of their exposure, they were not discernible
al human beings. If they had had much further to
go, the cart would have been absolutely filled over
diem. The one who sat rather aloof from the rest
was the landlord of the house, a fellow of a stout batk,"
-figure, who could not so easily stow himself away as
the others, who were slighter ; he was therefore, as
well as on account of his being known, attacked with
double fury. Dead cats and dogs, offal, potatoes,
turnips, &c. rebounded from him on every side, while
his apparently manly appearance drew down penises.

the cart prevented ins being killed on the spot. At
one o'clock four of them were exalted on a new pil.

The remaining two, Cooke and Amos, were honour-

ry alone. They were accordingly taken back in the

and buckets full of blood, offal, and dung, which
were brought by a number of butchers' men, from St.
James's market. These criminals were very roughly
handled ; but as there were four of them, they did n k.
stiffer so much as a less number might. When di,

conveyed to Cold Bath Felds prison, through St. Mar-
.thes-lAne, Compton-street, and Holborn, and in their
journey received similar salutes to what they met with

bola the pillory, the butchers' men, and the women,
who had been so active, were plentifully regaled with

upon the spot. In a few minutes, the remaining two, .

Fox, Were desired to mount. Cook heist his heed to
his head, and complained of the blows he had already
receivesti'and Amos made the same complaint, and

before, and in one minute they appeared a complete
heap of mud, and their faces were much more bat-
tered than those of the former four. Cook received
several hits in his face, and be had a lump raised
upon his eyebrow as large as an egg. Amos's two
eyes were completely closed up; and when they were
untied, Cook appeared almost insensible, and it was
necessary to help them both down and into the cart.
when they were conveyed to Newgate by the same
road they had come, and in their passage they coati-
nued to receive the same salutations the spectators
had given them in going out Cook continued to lie
upon the seat in the cart, but Amos lay down among
the filth, till their entrance into Newgate sheltered the
wretches from the further indignation of the most
enraged populace we ever saw. As they passed the,--i•
end of Catherine-street, Strand, on their return, a
Coachman stood upon his box, and gave Cook five
or six cuts with his whip:
