Mr. Brown, the jailor, was immediately re quested to bring the prisoners to the bar. In i few minutes, the clank of chains was heard, and the eleven prisoners entered the court. They were all double ironed, with the exception of Ings, who had been much indisposed since his conviction. Thistlewood came first, and advan ced to the bar. There was a melancholy rcsig nation in bis countenance He appeared consid crably alteied since the last time of his being in court.

And if any doubt should remain upon the minds of the public, whether the deed I meditated was virtuous or contrary, the tale I will now relate will convince them, that, in attempting to execute a power which. the law had ceased to harei I-was only w reaking national, vengeance on a set of wretches unworthy the-tiame and character or men. This Edwards, poor and pennylcss, lived near Picket sli ced in thc-Straud, some time ro, without a bed to he on, or s chair to sit in. Stnw was his resting place, his only covering a blanki. Owing to his bad character, andswindling con duct, he was driven from thence by' his landlord.
