Execution at Norwich Castle for Samuel Yarham
In Norwich on a crowded fair day Samuel Yarham was hanged for murder after attempts at commutation failed. The scene drew about 20,000 spectators, with 1800 train passengers from Yarmouth. The chaplain tended him in his final hours, and Yarham maintained silence on the scaffold, denying nothing and insisting on innocence when asked about guilt. Royal and Mepes, acquitted co-accused, were present. Royall faced crowd hostility after the execution. The report notes the unprecedented aspect of a murder defendant offering testimony on accomplices before a capital verdict. The piece also references a political note on a requisition for Mr. Ley to run in the next election.
