New York dispatch reports James Berry, 61, once Great Britain’s official executioner, left the post after 18 years amid doubts of innocence.

His tenure included a famous case involving Mary Lesley in 1881.

Cross, twenty years ago, hanged at Shady Hall County Cork for poisoning his wife. Mr Berry criticizes state executions calling the electric chair barbarous and bungling. He claims a five-eighths inch ripe blade can kill swiftly leaving the man smiling. Berry remarks show jealousy among hangmen and he has become a noted figure.
Evengelical figure journeys to Canada after retirement
An odd exchange hints at a retired executioner turned lecturer as he heads to Canada. Lord Luaffingham and Lord Punleigh mock commoners and joke about losing livelihoods, while Puck chips in with drunken banter. The fragment suggests a satirical or theatrical scene with wry social commentary.
