The Death Sentence in England

The present agitation IN England
to abolish the prorouncing OF tn"
death sentence in cases where 1t is pa
tent that capital punishment will rot
follow will probably meet with the
approval OF most people, who desire
that the law should lose nothing OF
Its dignity and at the same time have
nothing OF uunecess AIRY horror added.
The Lord Chancellor pleads for the
retention OF the form, saying that the
passing of the death sentence will act
as deterrent. James |. guggled
with death sentences in this manner
and got himself rather badly dis'iked
for IL. Over the plot in which Raj
eigh. Gotham. Grey and others. were
implicated he had the less puiss mt
ones put to death and very bloodily
handled" Gotham $ brother was be-
headed like a gentleman. The
Bishop OF Chester, with the blood OF
the latter still upon him. went then
to Lord Ctbham Him the bishop
exhorted to confession. Other pre-
lates were similarly engaged
with Sir Walter Raleigh and Lord
Grey. Meantime Ma khan, another
OF the conspi' a,ors, had been placed
upon the scaf1old and was about to
bow his head to the ak when the
Sheriff was called away by a Scotch
hireling, and the prisoner lett to con-
template the ak for an hour. Then
he was led away and ted to prepare
for death at the end of two hours.
Crews turn was next. He prayed
half an hour before the block. then
raised himself to die-and was led
away, the King sending word that
the order OF execution had been
changed. So forth came Gotham,
aud having male his last declaration,
prepared to take farewell OF the'world,
when the Sheriff stayed the execution
and brought forth Markham and
Grey-all three thinking that the
other two had been executed. They
were told, after having suffered the
agony OF all but death itself. that
their lives would bespared Raleigh's
experience was similar. That was
how they used to make death SEN
