HANGING.
The following letter tends to rectify an error which very generally prevails, namely, that it costs only thirteen-pence halfpenny to be hung. It is copied literatim et verbatim, from one made out by Mr. Ketch himself, and proves that a man cannot be hung for so mere a trifle:—
"Silvester. s. d.
Executioner's Fees............ 7 6
Stripping the Body............ 4 6
Use of Shell.................. 2 6
1813. ______
