re- Account of the patriot Brutus ac-
ting as the Judge of his sons detected in
q conspiracy against the liberties of their
country.
The day of trial came. Brutus sat up
enyoys. the mobiles, and his own sons
were brought before him The testimo-
ny was carefully produced and weigh
ed. The ENJOYS, the mobiles, and his
own sons were found guilty of the char
ges preferred against them, and Brutus,
with firm voice sentenced them, all to
scourging and to death. The lictors inn
mediately seized and bound them for pu-
nishment; one by one, their backs were
numerically beaten by the rods, and their
heads struck off by the fatal axe When
in turn, the sons of Brutus were brought
forward to suffer the sentence, the people
in compassion for their youth, and willing
to spare the anguish of their father MUIR
INJURED in their behalf, and sought to have
them pardoned; but Brutus was inffexible;
the bosom of a magistrate was no lodging
place for the feelings of father, and wa
wing his hand in disproyal of their wish
es, he ordered the lictors tofproceed.-
Without leaving his seat or moving his
/ eyes from the Bloody scene, he watched
the faithful executioner of the law, and
the headless bodies of his own sons pas
sed in turn from the hands of the lictors.
The execution being o.er, Brutus still
seated on his throne, caused the slave
who had discovered the conspiracy to be
brought before him. Exhibiting him to
the people, he spoke of the inestimable
benefit which he had conferred upon the
State, and exhorted all, in imitation of
his example, to have a Jealous eye for
the public good: then taking the yindica-
tn, or rod, he seized the slave, strd ok him
on the back, and Immediately letting him
so, exclaimed. eel pronounce this man
free The lictors forthwith took him,
shaved his head, presented the cap of IL
6erty, and entered his name among the
freemen of Rome. a. ta
