Fortune For Forgers.

The last person to suffer death for
forgery in London was Thomas May
nard, who was executed on Dec. 81.
1929. 1t was not, however. until 1882
that tie death penalty for the crime
was replaced by transportation, though
even then an exception was made In
the case OF forging or altering
will. This exception was not removed
from the statute book until 1887. In
the days of good Queen Bess a-forger
of deeds was very severely dealt with.
He had TO stand in the pillory; his ears
were cut off. his nose slit, and he was
branded with hot irons. If he survived
these ordeals he was doomed to Inn
prisonment for the rest OF his days,
and everything he possessed In the
world was forfeited TO the crown.
Surely death would have been far
more merciful.
