The detective, Chamberlain by name. Upon these two sham ladies came, And said what is your little game, My beautiful he-she ladies. Oh, was it not a cruel sell, That night they must remember well, When they had to pig in Bow Street cell, What a change for them he-she ladies. When first before the magistrate, Oh, what a crowd did them await, It was a lark and no mistake, To look at them he-she ladies.

CONFESSIONS, AND COPY OF VERSES. “There’s nothing beats a stunning good murder after all.”--EXPERIENCE OF A RUNNING PATTERER.

Rutterford, at Bury St. Edmunds, for the murder of J. Hight, with copy of “Death-verses.” But the convict was NOT hanged after all. As the gaol surgeon having reported that Rutterford had a malformation which might cause an unusual degree of suffering on death being inflicted by strangulation, whereupon the Secretary of State for the Home Department ordered a special examination to be made by some medical men of the immediate neighbourhood, and on whose report the sentence of death previously recorded was commuted to transportation for life!
