MIN down, and but for the Intervention
of another patrols, he must have been
in the most imminent danger. He was
secured, and it then appeared that he
had consented voluntarily to be hanged,
under the following circumstance. 1t
seems there was another man In eompa-
nv, and it turned out that the two toge..
Their had been gambling, first fer their
money and then for their cloaths bu!
the defendant having lost both his mo.
ney and cloa,hs, then staked his lite, and
agreed, that if he lost, his opponent
should have the pleasure OF hanging
him. He lost, and accordingly submit
ted to be hanged, and his adversary hav-
ing tied him up to alamp.post, left him
to his fate but the moose not having
been fixed in a workman.like manner,
it gave way, and the defendant was pre-
cipitated to the earth, and by the inter-
vention of the prosecutor and the other
officers, saved from an untimely death.
For this act of humanity the officer was
assaulted as above mentioned,
The case being proved by other wit.
nesses, the defendant was called upon
for his defeace.
He was a tall well looking young
man, a laborer, and he acknowledged
the material parts of the facts alledged
against him by Crocker, the prosecutor
and said he had been gambling on the
night mentioned in tie. indictment, and
lost his money and cloaths. and then
staked his life, which he also considered
forfeited, and believed he was in honor
bound to be hanged, and therefore con.
sented But he strongly denied that a.
nv assault wss committed on the witness
Caocker, until he, Croker, had trst as
saalted him.
The court and Jury expressed the ut
most astonishment at this singular case,
and after few words from the chair
man, he was found guilty.
AS soon as the defendant was found
guilty, his wife came into court, and
implored mercy for him, assuring their
worships that she would be answerable
for it, that he should never desire to be
hanged again!
