lON OP eOOPER, THE HIGHWAYMAN'
AND MURDERER.

The executi n of Thomas Cooper, for the murder of
Timothy Daley, a policeman, at Highbury, took place on
Monday morning at the usual place of execution in the Old
Bailey. The authorities of the gaol, by the orders of the
Sheriffs, refused admission to every stranger who applied.
Mr. Sheriff Rogers arrived at the gaol about seven o'clock,
and an application was made to him by the reporters to be
allowed admittance. He replied, in answer to the applica-
tion, that in consequence of some errors that had appeared
relative to statements alleged to have been made by Mr.
Sheriff Magnay at the last execution, it had been resolved
not to allow any reporters to be present on this occasion ;
but he said he would go and consult Mr. Magnay upon the
subject, and an answer should be sent. He also very

politely told the reporters that the Sheriffs did not wish to
prevent them from seeing the execution, and at the same
time pointed to the Old Bailey, intimating, no doubt, that
they might choose a positi6n among the crowd. He then
went into the gaol, promising to send an answer, but none
arrived before the execution took place, and the reporters
then retired, without having had any opportunity of obtaining
the facts connected with the execution.
The following particulars have been obtained from various
sources. The culprit had latterly, to a very considerable ex-
tent, abandoned his former reckless demeanour, and bad evi-
dently been affected by the exhortation of the chaplain ; he
also expressed contrition for the offence he had committed,
and admitted the justice of his sentence. He slept about
three hours on Sunday night. He got up about six o'clock,
and shortly afterwards Mr. Carver was admitted to his cell,
and remained with him until the hour of execution. The
culprit appeared to be very weak ; indeed his legs almost
failed him, and it was necessary to support him through the
passages of the gaol to the scaffold. Here he appeared some-
what to rally, and walked up the steps leading to the drop,
and the executioner immediately proceeded to perform his
duty. The wretched culprit again became very faint, and
just as he seemed on the point of falling to the ground the
bolt was drawn, and he appeared to die almost instantly.

The crowd assembled was very inconsiderable when corn-
red with those to witness the execution of Good and

TO THE ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIESTS OF THE
CITY OF DUBLIN.

REV. GENTLEMEN,—I have had the honour of enclosing

your Directory, are placed at the head of your respective
places of worship in this city—copies of the following peti-
tion to the Houses of Lords and Commons, which, though it
has been printed before, I now reprint, that the Roman Ca-
tholics of Dublin may know it is placed in your hands, and
may again read it with due deliberation :
