LORD FERRER'S TRIP
TO "TYBURN TREE. ;"
Present Park Ian, in London
Was Tsblrn Lane in the Days OF
Ferocious Murderer of Servant.

Park lane, in London, was Tyburn
lane, and it seems as If the gallows-
described in an old document as
"movable"-at one time stood at it's
east corner. In that case the stealthy
burglar of Mr.. Wertheimer's snuff
boxes must have trodden very near
the ignominious dust of many a pio-
neer in his own profession.
But whether it be Mr.. Wertheim-
er's or Lord Battersea's house that,
stands on the site of Tyburn Tree, or
that carefully groomed house at the
beginning of the Bayswater road,
upon whose walls hangs the narrow
cage from which lark's song ascends
over the din Of the motor bus, the
Marble Arch, itself a movable"
marks the region of many a martyr
dom and many an execution. 1t was
there the ferocious Lord Ferrers was
hung in 1850 for numbering his SER
want Horace Walpoles words paint
the picture well.
"He shamed heroes. He bore the
solemnity Of pompous and tedious
procession of about two hours, from
the Tower to Tyburn, with as much
tranquility as if he were only going
to his own burial, not to his own exc
cution."
And when one of the dragons of
the procession was thrown from his
horse Lord Ferrers expressed much
concern and said, II hope there will
be no death to-day but mine"
On went the procession, with a
mob about it sufficient to make its
progress slow and laborious. Small
wonder that the age o; Thackeray,
with Thackeray's help, set up it's
scaffolds within four high walls. Ask
ing for drink, Lord Ferrers was re-
fused, for, said the sheriff, late regu-
lations enjoined him not to let pris-
oners drink while passing from the
place of Imprisonment to that of exc
cution, great indecencies having been
committed by the drunkenness of
criminals in the hour of execution.
"And though" said he, "my lord,
might think myself excusable in over
looking this order out of regard to
your lordship's rank, yet there is an
other reason which, ! am sure, will
weigh with you; your lordship is SEN
sible of the greatness of the crowd;
we must draw up at some tavern; the
confluence would be so great that it
would delay the expedition which
your lordship seems SO much to de-
SIRE"
But decency-so often paraded by
those who outrage it-ended with the
murderer's death. The executioners
fought for the rope, and the one who
lost it criei-the greatest tragedy, to
his thinking, of the day!
