The result of using the written examinations was that on two successive mornings the citizens had the cost and trouble of placing a man bearing a halbert at every door in the line of way of two dreary processions , in which blanched bound men , riding on wheelless sledges with their backs to the horses , and hangmen and their assistants with naked weaponslooped haltershideous flesh

, , forks , and cruel knives , facing their victims , played prominent parts . The procession on the first day halted at the West End of St . Paul ' s Cathedral , and after it had performed its business there , a cart , followed b y a howling mob , proceeding from that spot , drove up the Old Bailey to Newgate . Its destination was what afterwards became known as Jack Ketch ' s kitchen in

that cheerful building , and its contents I would rather not describe . The next day the second procession took a longer journey . It wended its way to the Palace Court Yard at distant Westminster .

This individual , when he had reached the roof , stooped to a companion below , who passed up to him certain very nasty looking black masses that appeared to be quarters of

When the spikes had been duly crowned with these "block ornaments " which the adorner contemplated with much satisfaction , the good soul enquired of a nei ghbour whose disjecta membra had been thus elevated .
