•We hear frequent talk of the mercy hu

were wholly obliterated from memory and

What fort of a go Vermnent, and what

and humane M. Howard (hew* Certainly

attached to the deflorate of Hanover is the
bishopric of Ofnaburgh, (i. c. it was when
what we are about to quote was written.
“ Greatly to my astonishment, (f«ys)
Mr, Howard in his biftory of foreign prisons
—I found that the lack, torture , and dun
\ grout, are employed in other countries be
sides Spain and Portugal. At Ofnaburgh ,
a mode of torturing it used, which is so
highly excruciating , that it it didinguifhed
by the title of the Ofnaburgh torture ! and
the executioners are so expert at their bellifh
buftnefs, that whenever an excess of veh
geanee is intended! any delinquent In another
fate, they are confiantiy fe»t for, At Hano
ver also, the execrable practice of torturing
pfifdneh is uled in a cellar, where the en
gine is kept. In the year 1779, a criminal
(that it\a ferfon charged with a crime)
Coffered the Ofnaburgh 4or litre, twice in
this city of Hanover. The lad time, at
putting the third quefHon to him, alter the
executioner bad tom item his head, bread.
«kc. he conffffed , and was executed.'* Thus
far Howard.
Another traveller fays*=—having heard
ranch of the mode of torture praffifed at
Hanover, Called the Ofnaburgh torture, and
which is applied by executioners purpofdy
sent for from that bfhopric, (the duke of
York was then bfhop of Ofnaburgh) I ap
plied to be admitted to the cellar in which
the engines of torture are kept.—as my in
trodufliOn was by a high officer of the court.
I had the honor of a feat near die judges.
The person who was put to the torture that
day, happened to be a female, of family and
rcfpeflahle connexions, whose hufbandftood
charged with Come Crime,, but had escaped
from his exccotioners-.-they feixed his wife
—to compel her by the torture of Ofnaburgh
to criminate him and his Connexions.
“ She was of the mod exquifue beauty,
and the judges fcaded their eyes with a
view of her person, already disfigured by
repeated qut front, as flic lay extended ert
the rack, imh only a loose garment thrown
over part of her body.—The Ofnaburgh
torture was applied in the manner that is
related in Mr. Howard's narrative in all
its exquiftte refnementt—Skc perfided in
her innocence... Her judges, the representa
tives of the elector of HaWover, celebrated
tor his domtdic and social virtues, fat un
moved, either by her beauty, differing*,
or proteftacions. They ordered the excco.
tioners to vary her tortures-..the cords were
drawn to the fhorfed. She wat a mother I
...From her beauteous and lovely but ag
onizing breads, forced by the extreme of
her torments, blood spouted, and covered
the faces and cloths of her judges. She dill
asserted her innocence—executioner, in
