DRATH SENTENCE IN ENGLAND,
The present agitation in England to abolish the pronouncing of the death sentence in cases where it is patent that capital punishment will not follow will probably meet with the approval of most people who desire that the law should tose nothing of its dignity and at the same time have nothing of unnecessary horror added. The Lord Chancellor pleads for the retention of the form, saying that the passing of the death sentence will act as a deterrent. James I, juggled with death sentences in this manner and got himself rather badly disliked for it. Over the plot in which Raleigh, Cobham, Grey and others were implicated he had the less puissant ones put to death and "every bloodily handled." Cobham's brother was beheaded "like a gentleman," The Bishop of Chichester, with the blood of the latter will upon Him him went then to Lord Cobham. the Bishop exhorted to confession. Other prelates were similarly engaged with Sir Walter Raleigh and Lord Grey. Meantime Markham, another of the conspimiors, had been placed upon the scaffold and was about to bow his head to the axe when the Sherift was called away by a Scoich hireling, and the
