death w. rrant and the unfortunate man was de•

Thurtell was attired in a brown great-coat, &r. and wore
his hat, and white handkerchief. He appeared perfectly
calm and collected, and no apparent difference of coonte•
name pr demeanonr seemed to have taken place. His arms
were pinioned. Jack Ketch Now made his appearance on
the platform, with ropes, &c.,on which, Thut 01, gave his
bead a twist, as if to prepsre himself for the rope bring

perceived a gentleman, with whom he was slightly acquainted•
god bowed to him, and he observed the same ceremony to Mr.
Pierce Fgen, who was near the place of exrention. While
Jack Ketch was placing the rope round Thurtell's Peek (the
night cap being placed over his countenance), he requested
that P sufficiency of rope might be supplied, and he turned
up bi:4 eyes to see how it was adjusted. The
ha notan replied, " You'll find it all right, Sir," brd
Thurtell, after: paying great attention to the ceremony,
appealed to Mr. Wilson to see that the hangman's duty
might be performed well. Mr. Wilnon assured him that
every thing should be done properly. The parties
now al ouk hands. Mr. Wilson shook hands with
him, and, while crying, said, " God bless you,
Thortell." and quitted the fatal spot. He then immediately
gave the signal, the bolt was drawn,mstl the unhappy man
was forced into eternity. On dropping, his head and
shoulders were to be seen. Atter strugglinga short period,
he gave* heavy sigh and expired. The crowds began
gradually to decrease, commiserating the unfortunate
man's fate, and after the body had bnng the uml time it
was ent down, and delivered to the county surgeon for
