Anne, soldier, belonging to the marching rogi-
ment which was chartered in the city OF Worces.
ter taken up for desertlon. and being tried by
a corrt martial, was sentenced to he shot. The
Colonel and Lieutenant Colonel being at the time
in London, the command of the regiment had de-
scended In to the Major most cruel and In
human man. The day on which the desers.r WAS
to be executed having arrived. the regiment, is
usual on these occasions was drawn ont to see the
execution
1t Isl the custom on these occasions TO draw lots
from the several corporals for this disagrceabe of
fce; and when every one expected to these lots
rs usual, they were surprised to find that the Ma
jor had giren orders that the prisoner should die
by the hand of his own brother, who was only a
private in the same company; and who, when the
cruel order arrived taking leave of his unhap-
nv brother, and with tears fast flowing. that ex-
pressed the anguish Of his sonl was hanging for the
last time about his neck.
On his knees did the poor fellow beg that he
might not have hand fn his brothers death; and
the poor prisoner forgetting for the moment his
petitions to heaven, begged to die by any hands
than those of his brother. The unreenting officer
however, could by no means be prevailed on to re-
yoke bis cruel sentence, though entreated to do
By every officer IN the regiment: on the contrary
he swore that the brother, and no only should be
the executoner lift were merely for example
to make Justice appear more terrible. When much
time had been wanted In fruitess endeavors IL sof
ten the rigor of this inhuman sentence the prison
sr preparei to die, and the brother to be the exc
cutoner.
The Major, strict to the maxims of cruelty stands
close to see that the piece WAS properly loaded
which being done, he directs the third motion oi
his cane shall be the signal to Are. Accordingly
at the third motion, the hajor-instead Of the
prisoner-recsiysd the bullet through his own head
and fell lifelsss to the ground.
The man no sooner discharged the piece, throw
ing il ON the ground, exclaimed:
''Iie that can give no mercy, no mercy let him
receive. Now. submit, ! had rather die this hour
for that mans death than live hundred years, and
take away the life of my brother"
No one seemed to be sorry for this unexpected
piece of Justice on the inhumsn Major, and the man
being ordered into custody, many gentleman pre-
sent who had been witnesses to the whole affair,
ioined TO entreat the officers to defer the execution
If the other brother till the Queens pleasure
should be known.
The request being complied with, the city cham
ber that very night drew up very feeling and
pathetic address to her Majesty setting forth the
unparalleled cruelty of the deceased officer, and
hninbly entreated her Majesty's pardon for both
the brothers.
The brothers were pardonsd and discharged from
the army.
