and report to the court the circumstances OF the
hanging OF criminal and the names of all per-
sons present thereat. The sheriff is empowered
to designate twelve deputies. and no more TO

may have three relatives present and two cler-
eymen only. The sheriff is to be punishable as
for contempt OF court for allowing any other
person to witness the hanging.
