SUFFOLK ASSIZES. At these Assizes, which concluded on Saturday se’nnight, the following prisoners were tried before Mr. Serjeant Bosanquet:— Robert Wade, aged 20, was convicted of setting fire to a barn in the occupation of Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, Tattingstone. This was the only prisoner upon whom sentence of death was passed, and, as it was considered a warning of his doom, the ceremony was awfully solemn. Morning Advertiser, 4 Aug 1823. -------------------------------------------------- JACK KETCH DISAPPOINTED Ipswich, Aug. 19. — 0n Thursday, obedient to the order he had received, Foxton, the executioner employed by the Corporation of London, proceeded by the Colchester van to Ipswich, to execute Robert Wade, convicted at the last Bury Assizes of the crime of arson, at Tattingstone, in the county of Suffolk, he having set fire to the barn of one of his neigh- bours. It turned out, however, that a messenger of mercy had arrived at Ipswich before the minister of justice, who bore a respite of execution until Saturday next (the 23d inst.). In consequence of this suspension, the hangman had nothing to do but to return to London. Having drank until he was in an unbecoming state of inebriation, Jack uttered expressions of disappointment, on account of which the proprietors of the Telegraph coach refused to convey him to town, especially as he had implements of death in his possession; hence, as a dernier resort he was obliged to be an outside passenger on the Royal Mail, which overtakes the Telegraph, between Brentwood and Romford when they accompany each other for several miles. The passengers on the roof of the Telegraph recognised the man who had lately wished to be their associate, and set about making a gallows with walking slicks, which they fixed to the luggage, having done which, a cord with a noose was attached. They then uttered language which was directed to the coachman and guard, to their great annoyance; and it was long before they were able to get were able to get rid of the clamour, by extraordinary speed. Morning Post, 21 Aug 1823.
