The Sun. — 1826-11-29 (London, England)

MORNING.)  The following young men, convicted at the last September Sessions, were this morning executed before the debtor's door, in the Old Bailey, namely, Jahn Hayes, 25 years of age, for a burglary ; George Nicholls, aged 24, for highway-robbery ; James Goulby, aged 18, for highway-robbery ; John Robinson, aged 19, for higbvray-robbery at Bethnal-green, and Robert Mug, aged 21, also for a highway-robbery.  At about a quarter to eight o'clock, the sheriffs, Messrs. Farebrother and Winchester, accompanied by their under. sheriffs arrived at Netvgate, and repaired to what was formerly denominated the press.roo'nt, in which many an unfortunate culprit has been relieved of the weight of his irons, prior to being led to the place of execution. However this ignominy is now abolished, and a poor convicted culprit no longer hears the rattling of fates, or the jingling of chains. On our entering the room, Hayes was standing at the table engaged in prayer with the Rev. Mr. Devlrettx a Catholic Minister. He had sat up during the night pith two of his friends, and was joined by the Rev. Gentleman at half-past five o'clock this morning. On receiving the intelligence of his being ordered for execution, he was greatly agitated; but now, owing most likely to the attention paid him by his friends and confessor, he was quite composed, and during the time occupied in pinioning his hands and arms, he behaved in the most becoming manned. This sad duty being completed, he was placed on a bench on one side of the room, and most earnestly joined in prayer with Mr. .Deveretix. Ile was attired in a seaman's jacket, duck trousers, and had a black silk neckerchief tied loosely round his neck. After the lapse of a few mimes, Nicholls entered the room ; he bowed respectfully to the Sheriffs, and Hap* made a slight inclination of the head to him : being pinioned, he took a seat on the bench next to his fellowsufferer.  Goulby, who is only 1$ years of age, next entered the room, his extremely youthful appearance, excited the attention of all present. He appeared ready to faint. Robinson, one of the Bethnal-green gang, on entering approached the Sheriffs, and addressed them and Mr. %Vontner. He then advanced with a quick step to the officers, and being pinioned, said in an audible voice," God bless you." Boyce next entered. He took but little notice of what was going on. He appeared completely absorbed in thought, and opening his pinioned hand to the officers, faintly exclaimed," God bless you all." King was the last of the wretched culprits. He entered the room, crying bitterly, and seemed lost to all religious consolation, lie, as well as the other culprits, with the exception of Hayes, retired to rest at an early hour last night. The whole arrangements being completed, the awful procession moved on in the following order :- The Sheriffs, Under-Sheriffit, Chaplain, Hayes, attended by the Rev. Mr. Devereux, Nicholls, Omlby, Robinson, Boyce, and king, Followed by the Rev. Mr. Halter and the Officers. On arriving at the outer lodge, Hayes was immediately conducted on to the drop, accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Cotton and Mr. Davereux, while the executioner was engaged in adjusting the rope to the beam and placing Hayes over the drop, Mr. Baker was unremitting in his attentions to the other culprits, who were led to the scaffold one at a time.  On the falling of the drop, Goulby, owing, We believe, to some mistake in placing the rope, struggled dreadfully, and, notwithstanding the exertions of the executioner and his assistants, he was not dead till nearly ten minutes after the falling of the drop. Several among the crowd called out " Murder!" and, indeed, the feelings of the whole multitude may be better imagined than described. Owing to the number executed, the assemblage of persons in the Old Bailey was exceedingly numerous, and a great number of Spiwitields and Betimal-green weavers were collected there as early:aa .91.cleek in the morning. ~rep,llo
