iIeu of Coed Hearts.

"MOre men are hangsd in England In one
year than in France in seven, because the
English have better hearts," So said Chief
Justice Fortescue, who presided over the
Court of Henry VI, and who lived and
learned in the days OF that joviaI King Hal.
whose princely folles and royal deeds are
so galy and graphically told by Shakspes<e
In Shakspeare's own day; bluff King Henry
the Eighth managed 10 hang 10000 in his
reign, (twenty on one gibbet at once--so
Sir Thomas More, his chancellor and victim
wriles,} }and the appetite of The Virgin Queen
was satisfied with 400 a year. This was
whilst Bacon wrote and Spencer sang
There were some variations in this sanguiu-
airy mood but in The reign OF George the
Third the number OF offences punishabls
with death amounted TO 23o! passing alt
nalions in bioodiness of it's code-"for lho
English have better hearts !"
