would not submit, to shoot at them, which these Desparadoes refusing
to do, they accordingly fired on them, and Theophilus Dean receiving
a Shot in the Groin, dropt; then they surrender'd, and the Sheriff
instantly caus'd Bacon-Face _to be hang'd on the Arch of the Sign
Iron belonging to the Gaoler's House_, in the Sight of his
Companions and great Numbers of People; the other three were
directly put into a Cart and carried to the usual Place of
Execution, and there hang'd before seven a Clock that
Morning."--_Lond. Mag._ July, 1741, p. 360.

SATIRICAL MEDAL OF THE PRETENDER.


I am well acquainted with the medal described by Mr. Nightingale, and
can confirm his statement of the difficulties which numismatists have
experienced in attempting to explain the circumstances alluded to by
the lobster which is the badge of "the order of the pretended Prince of
Wales," and upon which, on the other side of the medal, Father Petre is
represented as riding with the young prince in his arms. Upon other
medals also the Jesuit appears carrying the prince, who is decorated, or
amusing himself, with a windmill. There is likewise a medal on which a
Jesuit is represented concealed within a closet or alter, and raising
or pushing up through the top the young prince to the view of the
people, while Truth is opening the door and exposing the imposition.
Similar representations of the Jesuit's interference occur upon
caricatures and satirical prints executed in Holland. Upon one,
entitled, "Arlequin sur l'Hippogryphe, a la croisade Lojoliste," the
