Description: A MALEFACTOR CONDUCTED TO EXECUTION.
The convict is fettered, and, if he uses abusive or inflammatory language, gagged. His arms are pinioned behind his back, and he bears a board, on which are written his name, his crime, and his sentence. If he hesitates to proceed, he is driven to the place of execution by some inferior officers of justice.
-----------------------------------------------------------
MALFAITEUR CONDUIT POUR ÊTRE EXÉCUTÉ.
Le criminel, atteint et convaincu, est chargé de chaînes, et s'il profère des paroles outrageants, on lui met un bâillon dans la bouche. Il a les bras liés derrière le dos, et sur le dos une planche, sur laquelle sont écrits son nom, son crime, et sa sentence. S'il s'arrête, et refuse de marcher, quelques bas officiers de justice le traînent à la place de l'exécution.
