ABSTRACT
The circumstances attending the prisoners case attracted an unusually large attendance of spectators and after the execution a number of persons fell down or were pressed down in the crowd at a small street called Garners Hill which leads out of the main street and is situate at a distance of about one hundred yards from the place of Execution. The Execution of William Saville, tried at the late Nottinghamshire Assizes, before Lord Denman, for the murder of his wife and three children, was appointed to take place in the street called High Pavement fronting the County Hall at eight o’clock. The County Gaol being in the County of Nottingham and under the charge of the sheriff of the County altho’ surrounded by the Town of Nottingham is certainly in point of law the right place for the purpose in question.
