THURSDAY MORNING,

nocence up TO the very moment OF his execu
ton. Within a twevemonth afterwards. Bru-
nell. the master OF Jennings, was himself taken
up for robbery committed on guest in his
house, and the fact being proved on trial. be
was convicted and ordered for execution. The
approach of death, brought on repentance, and
knowledged that he had been guilty Of many
highway robberies, but owned himselfto have
committed the very one for which poor Jen-
nngs had suffered.
The account which Brunell gave, was. that
after having robbed the traveller. he had got
home before him, by swifer riding and near
er way. That he found a man waiting for
him. and to whom. not having enough of 9TH
er money in his pocket, he gave away one of
the twenty guineas which he had just obtain
ed by the robbery. Presently Game in the
robbed gentleman. who, whilst Brunel. not
knowing of his arrival, was in the stable, told
his tale, as before related in the kitchen. The
gentleman had scarcely left the kitchen before
Brunel entered it, and there, to his consterna.
ton, heard ofthe facts, of the guineas Icing
marked, he became dreadfully alarmed. The
guinea which he had paid away, he dared not
ask back again, and as the affair Of the robbery
as well the circumstance Of the marked
guineas, would soon become publicly known.
he saw nothing but detection, disgrace and
death. In this dilemma the thought of accus-
ing and sacrificing poor Jennings. occurred 10
him. The state of intoxication in which Jen-
nings was, gave him an opportunity of conceal
ing the money in the walters pocket. The rest
of the tale the reader knows
