tleship Temeraire, now in Davenport
dockyard, will be dispatched February

Double Execution at Nana1mo, British

NANAIIo (B. c., Jan. l6.-A double
execution took place here this morning,
the criminals being a Chinaman named
Sing Kee and an Italian, Dominica Tar
agnello. The execution, which took
place in the jail-yard, was almost pri-

tives and the jury being present.
The executioner soon pinioned them
and fastened the moose and covering
around the head. Taragnello was sup-
ported by an officer. Suddenly the drop
loosened and the bolt shot beneath. The
Italian died almost instantly, but ths
Chinaman swayed about for over two
minutes. He tried to loosen his hands
and legs, kicked about and nearly loose
ened his legs. He uttered groan, and
then all was still. The bodies were kept
hanging several minutes and then cut
down and the usual inquest was held.
