WE have here witnessed a most distressing
scene, which has eAcited sensations that no
ing to the Oath regiment, having committed
SOME depredations here, were brought to tiisl
and two Of them condemned to suffer death,
Only one of them hovever, yas left for ex-
ecution, named lsalfs. Saturday last was the
day Gxea on for his ex scsitisn. When he had
hung about a minute AMI q half, the cxecuu-
cEei. taking hold Of lis scnysslses body, sus-
pended himself On it, by whose additional
weight the rope gaze way ia such manner,
that tie miserable sufferers feet touched tie
ground He eyecuaonsr saen pulled him
sideways IN order to stransle MIN and being
unable to effect it in sflis. way, got upon his
shoulders. Q the e'o.st s;lgprise CT all who
witnessed this. dreadful scene, tie poor crimi-
nal rose strait UPON his feet with the iansman
On his shoulders, and Immediately loosened
the rope froIf, his throat With ais fingers. No
language CAN describe tii..e sensations which
were excited among tie hystanders by this,
shocking. scene. The sheriff ordered another
rope to BE prepared, huttlle spectators inter
fered, and the slsefsd, distressed beyond de-
scription by the shocking spectacle, agreed
that, before proceeding to the execution OF
the sentence, he Mo.!d wait till the will Of
the Tnagistracy should be known. The civil
magistrate net icing in town, orders were
sent by the commender in CHEF to carry the
man back to gaoi. 9sy the time this order ar
rived, the Eoor fellcw had recovered his sem
ses. The interest Nh;ea the scene excited
cannot be described--a.l became deeply inte
rested in the mans fate. Captain Nicolls and
another gentleman took hin under the arms
to conduct Kim. aid by their assistance he
was abls,,to walk back TO prison. The court
is now sittingg1to decide. he poor mans fate.
MAY the voice of mercy prevail.
= p. s.. Foyen my letter to inform you, that
I The court has decided, taat tie whole mater
reaativs to poor Hales snail be transmitted to
the king, art hssea eepton Of the sentence,
IN consequence, is suspended till his majes-
tvs pleasure be khswll. Petitions, | under
stand, are isEepasSng by the inhabitants, to be
forwarded t. lis majesty; SO that we have
now veryaaope that what the poor man has
already suffered, ard his apparent contrition,
will obtain for him his majesty's most graai-
oas pardon.
