London.  July 27.  Yesterday an odd affair happened among
the Palatines at Lambeth . . . [5 lines regarding an
incident in which a man accused of being a thief was tried
and convicted by an ad hoc court and sentenced to be hanged
in 3 hours].  Two hours he was allowed to pray, and one to
sing, before his execution . . . [8 lines follow describing
the arrival of the civil authorities to save the man as the
noose was around his neck].
