Sentence Of Tay.

This notorious rugular h as been sentenc.
ed at Toronto TO twenty years hard labor
in the Provincial Peniteniiary. He was
found guilty on two indictments, and con-
demned 10 ten yeers' imprisonments on
each. When brought up to hear the judg-
ment of the Court, he was asked if he hnd
anything to say why the penalty OF the law
should not be pronounced against him.
He replied as follows:
mo my Lord have violated the laws
of my country. ! have been tried by an
impartial jury and convicted, and | hum
bly, bow TO their decislon-,hrowing my
self entirely upon the leniency of the
Court. There are, however, two favors
which I would ask, if felon in the dock
dare ask favor; first, that, ns have no
means of my own, though portion of the
money taken from me belonged TO myself,
the Court would see my Counsel properly
feed. since he has ably, though unsuccess-
fully, defended me. The second is, tha,
when am sent 10 the Penitentiary, they
would in,ercede, and have me taught a
trade or profession, in order that, should |
ever be released from it. | may be able 10
earn an honest livelihood. | attribute my
present circumstances TO the fact that was
never brought up to any trade. Should |
