s1xrrRy PERSONS SENTENCED TO BE HUNG.
We are indebted to the New York Com
mercial Advertiser, for the latest lntelli-
gence from Canada. The correspondent
of that paper, in writing from Toronto on
the 9th. states that on Friday, August 4th,
sixteen persons were condemned to be
hanged. Four are Americans, and IL
British subjects. The sixteen prisoners
some of whom had been convicted, ana
some of whom had plead guilty, we're 'ae,
brought into court for sentence. Sons OF
them were mere boys--all were we'll dres-
sed, Millerin black. From the appearance
ofno one of them, would an untavourable
opinion of them have been drawn, as to his
character.
The Solicitor General then moved that
sentence be passed upon the following per-
sons, convicted of high treason; Samuel
Chandler, Benjamin Wait, James Gambol,
John Grant, Murdoch McFadon, ]. James
McNultv, George Buck, David Taylor,
James Wagner, Garret Van Camp, John
Vernon, and Alexander Mcleod The
counsel fer Wait moved that the verdict
in his case be set aside, as one of the jury
which rendered it was not British subject.
The court decided that it was too late to
enter that plea: and the Judge proceeded
to sentence. He told the prisoners that
to some of them-to whom no one knew;
mercy would probably be extended; urged
upon them all the Importance Of prepara-
ton for another world, and then pronounc-
ed the following sentence { after calling
each by name y "That you and each of
you be taken to Jail from whence YOU came,
and that on the Goth day ofthe present
month of August, you and each of you be
drawn on hurdle to the place of execution
and that you be there hanged by the neck
until you are dead; then your bodies are
to be quartered; and may God have mercy
on your souls"
That relic of barbarism, "quarte, ing" we
are astonished to hear pronounced from
British judgement seat, at this day. IfI
carried into execution, it will quarter the
empire. The correspondent of the Gazettee
states that the many persons present in
GLIDING bailfs and other officers, were
melted to tears. Sixteen persons, whose
average age ives not more than 25, SEN
fenced to death, by an earthly Judge; aud
that after the lapse of three weeks.-Bul-
