Re: 1823 execution Coroner of Ayre
In Response To: Re: 1823 execution Coroner of Ayre ()

Dear John:

Thanks for your reply. It was a hanging - the last on the Island was in 1872 and was by the well-known London executioner William Calcraft.

This one, according to a number of newspaper reports, was by the aforementioned coroner on the grounds one from England couldn't be procured.
