AN AFFECTING SCENE.—The late George Dunn, gaoler
of Kilmainham. a blunt, kind-hearted Northumbrian,
being requested to mention the incident connected with

capital punishments, which had most affected him during
his long experience, selected one so simple, and so touch-
ing, as proves him to have been possessed, not only of
very tender feeling, but of a most correct and delicate
judgment. At the last interview between a condemned
criminal and his wife, their child—a bonny wee thing, just
