Execution For Murder.
iMondav week, at an early haur, the avenues leading to the county Paol of Limerick were crowded with an irnmense multitude, aqsern- bled to behold tihe execution of Greene gnd the two Alinnanes, fbr the murder of Major Rare; and of Dbwley and the two Flinns, for that of John llartnett, driver to the Hon. Colonel Fittgibbon's es- tates near Abbeyfeale. Precise}y at tvrenty mantes after one, a part)y of the 3d Dragoon Oeiards, and a small party of Infantry, arrived at the gaol, and shortly afi*r those fat the murder of Eiaj,ur rlare walked out of their cells, ?>ttended ea rhb twcd lergymen. When firat they came in sight of the fatal scaffoled, they kilelt down, arnd appeared very much absorbed with their devotions. Janmes Minnan- walked first, and was followed by Oreene; the last who cate up was Patrick &i- nane, whose conduct and appearance indicated much fortitude and resignation. The vwere all tiressed in white baize, and the clergy- men who attended them wefe in:-their full robes. W hen the execu- tioner made his appearanre in order to adjust the ropes1 &c., a mur- mur of disapprobation ran throughout the entire niultitude. After they iihad remained some time on the scaffold at their devotions, in whtch the voice of Patrick dlinnane was audible to all ground, fromn the clearness and distinrtnees with which he answered the clergy- men, they kissed each other, and. bade the clergymen and the per. sons around them farewell. Patrick Minnane, wvhose demea. noar througkout the entire awful scene was that of a person of courage and piety deservinig a different fate, thed addrressed the crowd ihi nearly the following words:-" My friends, weentreat you to implore the nXercy of God fbr us, through the merits of his blessed SSon and of the Virgin htary, that he may pardon us our sins and offences, andi that he may have mercy on our 8ouls. Oar advice to you is, to shan all bad advice, to avoid evil company, and not to frecquent public-houses, except on necessary occasions-avoid trivial occurrences, which will come, by repetiotin to weightier offenceg. Had we all the levotion and chihstianity which was reconmended to us by our clergymen, ve should not arrive at this fate; had we at- tended to the directions of our Catholic clergy. there would have been no oceasion for this scaflold, and that fatal stake, or for those ropes, and the multitude before us; bad we abided by their direc- *ions at the holy altar, it is evident that this would not be our fatal end. On the other hand, it is not informations, nor indictments, nor capiases, that will be the means of pacifying the county of Lime- rick, but the advice and the exhormations of thc clergy. Oh, my friends, avoid whiskyAdrinking, and eursing and swearing--have nothing to do *vith combinations-be constant in attending the Holy Mass--abide by what your clergy say, and God will assist you all, and may he have mercy on our souls 1" These words ie spoke in a clear, strong, aned audible tone of voice, which -was heard B%y tbvs-awd at the foot of tie seifold, on whom. it is to be ho ped that these few gensible remarks froni oane of themselves, in his fina moments, wiU make a iastig Jimpression. At the conclusion of these sentences they knelt on the t-9in&itl, and remained in that At- tjtude praying ior a fcw m,inutes. As tlieh-hargman put the rope round the neck of Jawnes Blinnane, a. strong fGMsh of red appeared on hit eeuntenance, while on Patrick, who was next hir-, and stood in the centre, it did not make the least visible change. Greene was at too great a distance for u s to observe what effet it had on hiin. The executioner had descended the scafold, and the clergymen wvere about to retire, when Patrick Alinnane remarked that from the looseness of the tying round his arms, he feared thlat he was too much at liberty, and desired tO have himself more tightly pinioned, wlhich was ac=erdingly done * and, after the moat solemn and awful silence for about a minute, thcfatal drop fell, and this world closed on the eyes of the unfortunate men fMor ever. They died without much struggle, except for a very short while a slight convulsive shi- vering was observable throughout Greene's entire frame. After hanging the nsual time, their bodies were taken down, and removed to a back yard of the gaol. The fatal trap was again adjusted, and the ropes arranged, when Iuartogh and Daniel Flinn, and Dawley, their scrvant, attended by the same clergyasen, and attired ih the sarne manner as the three former, scended the scafflld. w7here, having Temained a short wlile attending to their dveytisns,Dasiel Flinr.,who spoke inlrish, request- ed' the prayers of the people, and decltired that F,e was not present at the mnurder but ktnev before.hand of itS commnittal. The Other two acknowrledged theirguilt, and begged of all to pray to God to pardon thsns. In a rninuteor two after the ropes beng adjusted, the drop again fell, and this world and all its vanities disappeared for ever froin tb.ei sight. Daniel Flinn died without much pain; but the seruggles of Milureg lasted for a very long while; he continued to shpnip his breast ineessantlyfor more than fout minutes, and kiclkcd vety much; -altogether he appeared to have died with v great deal of pain.. Ther bodies havIng h thle required time, eretakendown, and the whiold site wera yemovs that evening tb the County Hos. pitel, where they were dissected aad anatomized. EXECUTION FOR MURDER.
