this City, and a composition in the Office OF this
paper has in his possession very interesting MS
to5cal relic: a small embroidered cambria pocket
handkerchief which was used by Charles |. upon
the scafod, and is stained with bis blood. 1t came
originally from John Fenwicke, who was Major OF
cavalry in Cromwelrs army, and in that capacity
was required TO be present at the execution OF the
unhappy monarch. The relic passed from his fam
y to that OF Jacob Lyell, whose wife emigra.ed to
NewJersey near the close Of the 18th century, and
was connected with the Fenwicke family. She
gave it to her daughters who kept it with the great
est care, and at their death 1t passed INFO another
branch of tho family, and has finally come into pos
session Of Mr. Thompson. It's authenticity seems
to be clearly traced and proved beyond doubt. The
handkeTche is Of small size, and tue hgurs oil the
Scottish thistle is embroidered around the edges.
Upon one corner is g very small figure o.. Tn.
IL is thickly stained with dark spots OF which
are as large as a dolar-the others smaller. The
linen s considerably discolOred By time. IL seems
TO have beer roned bGt 10. washed.
