separately before the council. Thistlewood
was the first taken up stairs 10 the council
chamber. Lavender, the officer OF Queen
square, went before him and Lavender of
Bow street, and Bishop, on each side. He
walked with hurried step and appeared a
little agilated. lie was attended by The Of
icers To The presence OF the council, and was
simply told that he stood committed for high
treason aud murder. tie was then taken back
TO the room below, and Brunt was led up in
similar manner. The same course was ob
served with respect 10 all The other prisoners,
Preston excepted. Simmons was twenty min
utes be fore the council, and Monument about
the same time. The latter is a man OF very
diminutiye stature, but is said 10 posses some
intellect. On the present OCCASION he seem
ed TO be suffering under the agonies oil terror.
