Icennot say; I ' am unwilling to encourage any hopes which may not be realised; rather let me earnestly entreet you to turn your thoughts to another world.

Seek the aid of the Ministers ot'Iteligion—pray earnestly for par- don ofyour sins,—do as your unhap- py victim did; you have time. which he had not. All that is left for me is to pronounce the Judgement of the Court. Thejudge then rose— ’l‘he sentence of the Court, upon you Francis Fullerton,for the murder of which you have been convicted. is. ‘ that you be taken from hence to the place from whence you came; that thence. on MONDAY,tho Thirteenth day of October next, you be taken to the place of ettecntion, and that you be there hanged by the neck until youare dead. And I earnestly pray that Almighty God may of his infinite mercy, thro’ the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ our Sac viour,aavo your soul iothe ’last Great Day. from that destruction to which your body is on earth subjected.
