ndon of these operations, was their first
victim, being shot when returning from
market, about six o’clock in the after-
noon of the 28th April, by four persons
concealed in a plantation. So atrocious
a crime, roused the indignation of the
magistrates, and in a few months,
sixty-six persons were committed to
prison on various charges connected
with these disturbances : a special com-
mission for the trial of the offenders,
was held at York, when seventeen of
the prisoners, including three of the
murderers of Mr. Horsfafl, were exe-
cuted ; six were transported for seven
years, and the remainder liberated on
bail. So terrible an example crushed
the rising insurrection, and since that
period, Luddism has quietly expired.
Some persons may possibly think, that
it would be better to suffer such melan-
choly events to sink into oblivion; hut
it is at least satisfactory to pay the meed
of applause to successful courage; and
it may he useful as an example, to shew
in such desperate extremities, that the
most efficacious, and after all the most
merciful remedy, is a prompt, vigorous,
and impartial administration of justice,
