, DEATH IN THE DOCK.
On the 2Sth of April, 1794, a messenger
from th Chief Secretary' ofTwe, with four
policemen, entered Hyde'i Coffee house, College-green,
Dublin. The entrances to the
house had been watched through the night,
and the appearance of the messenger had
been anxiously awaited by at least one re
sident in the hotel. Thia person was a London
attorney named Cokayne, who had arrived in
Dublin on the 1st of April with a friend of
ten years' standing, the Rev. William Jaok
lon, a clergyman of the Church of Ireland, but
apparently without a cure. Jackson slept in
the room next to that occupied by Cokayne,
and opening on the same passage. The mes
senger addressed a few words in whispers to
Cokayne, who, pale and trembling, met him
on the Stairs. The rart proceeded to the cor
ridor, with which JackBon's room communi
cated. Cokayne begged leave to remain out
side. The messenger and his assistants en
tered. The noise awakened Jackson. Starting
up he endeavored to seize some papers piled
upon a table beside his bed. He had cleared
that table the night before, and now
saw at a glance that treachery
had len at work. The messenger
caught Jackson's hands, and motioning to his
assistants to secure the papers, read aloud a
warrant addressed to Tresham Gregg, keeper
of Newgate, directing him to hold in safe cus
tody the Rev. William Jackson, clerk, late of
London, charged with high treason, and, spe
cially, with inducing the king's enemies in
FraBce to invade his realm of Ireland.
Jackson had proceeded to France three years
before to collect evidence in the famous case of
the Duchess of Kingston. That business
brought him into connection (with some
cf the leading spirits of the revolution,
lie remained in Paris in habits of inti
macy with some members of the French
convention, and either at his own sugges
tion, or through their inlluence, was com
missioned to ascertain the sentiments of the
lower classes in England and Ireland towards
the French republic, and should he find them
favorable, to prepare C9rtain agents of the
French convention in both countries for the
landing of an invading force. A relative of
Jackson, named Stone, had been long settled
in Paris, and engaged iu business there. He
had a brother, resident in London, and an
assistant, bearing the name of Bereaford,
married to the sister of Archibald Hamilton
Rowan, who, when Jacktson arrived in Ireland,
was lying in Newgate under a charge of sedi
tion. Stone furnished Jackson, on his de
parture from Paris, with' letters of introduction
to Home Tooke and Doctor Crawford. Armed
with these credentials, Jackson reached London,
and immediately proceeded to execute his
commission. He renewed his intimacy with
Cokayne, and employed him as his agent and
confidential secretary. Jackson's communica
tions with the convention were addressed at
first through Stoue, and then through Co
kayne, to Monsieur Chapeaurouge, marchand,
Hambeurg, under cover to Messrs. Texier,
Angeli, and Massay, Amsterdam, in a third
envelope directed to Monsieur Daubadus
caille, Hambourg. The letters were written
in commercial style. "Business" meant
Jackson's enterprise; "goods" denoted pro
visions for the expected army of invasion;
"Magnett" stood for the French department
of marine; "the baby" was the young repub
lic; and so on. These letters were copied out
by Cokayne, Jackson alleging that he owed
money in England, where his own handwriting
was well known. Throughout the corres
pondence Stone's name was transposed into
Knots, and Jackson named himself Thomas
Popkins.
Two celebrated despatches from Jackson to
rfar interest in reference to the recent r e-
nian conspiracy. They are written with great
ability, and, as far as England is concerned,
bear the impress of candor and truth. As
the result of long-continued and minute in
quiry, Jackson states that although the Eng
lish people were weary with a war against
France, which brought the nation hol
low fame but substantial loss, they
entertained a deeply-rooted hatred
towards the French "republicans. Ho
declares that ninety-nine men out of every
hundred would start to their feet in Mills to
drive an invader of the sacred English land into
the sea. Any invasion of England would unite
all classes and parties in determined opposition,
and no sacrifice would be considered too great
to protect the inviolability of the soil. He
artfully recommends the convention to disarm
the hostility of the English people by liberating
atonce, and without conditions, all English
prisoners, to restore to them their property,
and to transmit them with all honor and
respect to England. He suggests that tho con
vention should proclaim their anxious desire
for peace, and their desire to live on terms of
amity with the British nation. But under no
circumstances did he think it possible to set
the populace in array against their Govern
ment and Constitution.
But in Ireland Jackson believed the Con
vention had the fairest prospeots of success.
The organization known as that of the "United
Irishmen" prevailed in every part of the
kingdom, and possessed agents in the army,
the navy, and all publio departments. The
servants in private families of power and in
fluence were members of the fraternity. Theo
bold Wolf Tone had just accomplished, as it
Seemed, the difficult task of ell'eoting au alli
ance between the Dissenters of the North and
the Reman Catholics of the south. Jackson
estimates the Protestant Episcopalians at lour
hundred and fifty thousand, the Dissenters at
nine hundred thousand, and the Roman
Catholics at three million one hundred aud
fifty thousand an enumeration which proves
hi sagacity and knowledge of the country
at the time. The Dissenters, under which
name he includes the Preubyternians of the
north, were, he asserts, to a man, re
republicans. The Roman Catholics of
the south were thoroughly discontented and
disloyal, ready to welcome any invader. The
preat mass of the people would receive the
French into fraternity the moment they ap
peared, because while the Government of Eng
land was thoroughly national, that of Irelaud
was provincial. In addition to the naturul love
of charge, the great bulk of the nation was
actuated by hatred of the English name. The
gentry aud clergy were mora tyrannical and
aristocratic than the nobles whom the repub
licans had annihilated in Frauoe. The Eng
lish Government was solely a Government of
force in Ireland, and would crumble to pieces
before any power of adequate strength at the
first collision. The people had received arms
fiom France, and were eini;ieutly drilled. Their
organization was complete, aud they awaited
with ill-concealed impatience the arrival of a
force sufficiently great to give them confidence.
The moment such a force appeared, Ireland
would be in a blaie, and the i.ngllsu dominion
st nn end.
On the 1st of April, tho day of Jackson's
arrival in Dublin, Danton and his colleagues
were murdered in Paris, and the eauguinary
Robespierre ruled the French republic. JacUsuu
was boou acquainted with this change of mas

ters, and believing that Robespierro in the
first flush of power would gee tne advantage
of distracting England by exciting a rebellion
in Ireland, redoubled his activity. He and
Cokayne were hospitably received by a Mr.
MacNally, a barrister, who took a foremost
place in defending prisoners arraigned for
high treason. Through this gentleman, an
arrangement was effected for the introduction
of Jackson to Archibald Hamilton Rowan.
The letters addressed by Stone to Home
Tooke and Dr. Crawford had never been
delivered, and tbey now served as
certificates of Jackson's fidelity to "the
cause." A long and anxious deliberation en
sued in Rowan's "lodgings" in Newgate.
Jackson nsed all means of persuasion to induoe
Wolfe Tone to proceed as the envoy of the
Irish republicans to Paris. Tone hesitated,
and at last persistently refused. He hinted
something about live hundred pounds, but
Jackson replied that the "French nation was as
fenerons as brave." This did not satisfy
one. Then a Dr. Reynolds was appealed to,
also in vain; and at last Jaokson penned those
two reports on publio feeling in England and
Ireland, which condemned him.
But almost from the moment of his landing
in England, every movement made by Jaokson
was known to the Government. Cokayne fur
nished Pitt with complete copies of Jaokaon's
correspondence. The more recent letters were
written as if in reference to a lawsuit in which
Jackson was engaged, but Cokayne possessed
the key and sold it. He assured Mr. Pitt that
he was induoed to brtray his friend through
motives of the purest patriotism, but he said
something more. Alleging that Jackson owed
him a debt of six hundred pounds, whioh he
could not afford to lose, he reasoned that if
Jackson should be executed through his in
formation, the debt would never be reoovered.
William Pitt understood the hint and the man.
He assured Cokayne he should be no loser by
his patriotism. From that hour Cokayne ac
companied Jackson as his shadow. He never
left his Bide. Every letter, document, or word
of Jackson's was immediately communicated to
Government. The moment the paper on the
state of Ireland was penned, and placed in
Cokayne'a bands to be copied like the rest for
transmission through the post office, Cokayne
conveyed it while Jackson slept to Mr.
Hamilton. Private Secretary to the Lord
Lieutenant. He took a press copy of the
original, aud then returned it to Cokayne,
directing him to post it in the usual way.
The letter was, by order, intercepted, and
then the authorities struck the meditated
blow.
The arrest was made, aud Jackson was
lodged in the jail at Newgate, on the 28th of
April, 1704. The indictments were not for
mally laid until the 23d of June. On the 30th
of June Jackson pleaded "Not Guilty."
Then the trial was deferred until
the 7th of November. It was
again postponed to the 20th of January,
1795, and once more to the 23d of April.
Nearly a year had elapsed from the arrest of
Jackson, and so long a delay was unusual in
those troubled times. It was expected, pro
bably, that in the interval seme damnatory
evidence might be procured against Hamilton
Rowan and others suspected of complicity
with Jackson's design. But Hamilton Rowan
escaped from Newgate in November, 1794,
through the agency of a government informer,
and then, at length, preparations were made
for Jackson's trial.
The court was formed of the Earl of Clon
mell, Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench,
Mr. Justioe Dovnes, and Mr. Justice Chamber
lain. Mr. Justice Bond was absent. The
names of the leading counsel for the aocused
are remarkable in Irish history. Amongst
them are found those of John Philpott Curran,
George Ponsonby, L. MacNally, and Thomas
Addis Emett. The case from the first was
clear against the prisoner. There were the
letters and reports, originals and copies. It
was proved, indeed, that Cokayne swore his
last deadly information before the privy
council under a menace from the Lord Chief
Jufctice. "Remember, sir, you are in our
power aa to committing you if you do not
swear." The case against the prisoner
hinged upon the evidence of Cokayne;
but the court decided that in Ireland
one witness was sufficient to condemn
a man of treason, though two were
required in England. At 4 o'clock in the
morning of the 20th of April the jury found
Jackson "guilty." They recommended him to
mercy; but tue Lora ciiiei justice exciaimea
that they had done so "only" through com
passion! a plea not mnuenuai wuu sucn a
judce. Turning to the jailor, wno 3tOoa be
side the condemned, lie said, "jailor, take that
man away, and let him be brought up here in
four days."
The four days slowly but surely passed hour
by hour away, and then, on the morning of the
dOth of April, Jackson was conveyed to the
Court of King's Benoh to hear his doom pro
nounced. He had made some allusions to
suicide, and therefore was guarded strictly.
His food was always cut in pieces for him, the
jailor fearing to entrust him with a knife and
fork. "Tne man wno did not lear deatu," said
Jackson, "can never want the means of dying.
bo Jong as ins nead is witnin reaun oi tne
prison-walls, he can prevent his body being
suspecded to scare the community." A par
tisan of the Government of the day saw Jack
son as he passed on his way to the Court.
This percan remarked to one of Jackson's
counsel, "I always said Jackson wa3 a coward,
and I am not mistaken. His fears have made
him sick. I observed him, as the coach drove
by, with his head out of the, window, vomiting
violently." His friend hurried to the court
only to witness a most appalling soene.
Jackson's frame quivered, rather than trem
bled, but his mind was firm and collected still.
With clammy and nerveless fingers he tried
to press the hands of his counsel, and
sadly smiling, whispered the words of Pierre.
"We have deceived the Senate." The Chief
Justice, perceiving the condition of the pri
soner, thought of remanding him, but the Attorney-General
prayed for judgment. Then
"the Reverend William Jackson was set for
ward." All eyes were directed towards him.
His bo3y teemed with profuse perspiration, the
steam rose from his hair, the muscles of his face
twitched in convulsions, his eyes were nearly
closed, and when at intervals he opened them
the dull dry light of death glared out of them.
Ordered by the court to stand up, his mind
strove to command his tailing body. He rose,
but tottered and reeled as if about to fall. At
last he crossed his arms tightly over his
breast, and, rocking to and fro, awaited the
traitor's dreadful sentence of doom. When
the clerk of the court directed him to hold up
his hand, he strove to raise it, nut the power
less arm dropped instantly at his side. When
the clerk demanded, in the usual form, "what
he had now to say why judgment of death
and execution thereon should not be awarded
egf.inst him according to law," Mr. Curran
rote and moved an arrest of judgment. A
leal argument of some length ensued. All
the while the prisoner grew worse and worse;
he presented the aspect of a living corpse.
Mr. Curran proposed that he should be
remanded, as his State of body ren-
dered communication ueiween una ami
count-el impossible. Lord Clonmell
thought it would be lenity to dispose of
the sentence with all speed. They opoued the
windows of tho oourt, and the cold air oame
rnshlng in. But the spirits of death gathered
closer round him, and now he fainted. He
sank down in the dock. The crowd heard the
hollow sound of his convulsive movements
gainst the panelling. The closing soene is
thus described:
Lord Clonmell: "If the prisoner Is in a
state of insensibility, it is impossible that I
can pronounce the judgment of the oourt upon
him."
Thereupon, Mr. Thomas Kinsley, an apothe
cary, who was in the Jury-box, said he would
go down to him. He stooped down over the
dock, felt Jaokaon's pulse, and then turning
round towards the judge, declared that the
prisoner was certainly dying. By order of the
court, Mr. Kinsley was sworn.
Lord Clonmell Are you in any profession f
Mr. Kinsley I am an apotheoary.
Lord Clonmell Can you speak with cer
tainty of the state of the prisoner ?
Mr. Kinsley I can; I think him verging to
eternity.
Loid Clonmell Do you think him capable
of hearing his judgment f
Mr. Kinsley I do not think he can.
Lord Clonmell Then he must be take
away. Take care that in sending him away no
mischief be done. Let him be remanded until
further orders; and I believe it is as muoh for
his advantage, as for all of yours, to adjourn.
But the further orders never were delivered;
the case of the prisoner had been already trans
ferred to another tribunal. The sheriff, pale
and horror-stricken, informed the oourt that
the man was dead.
AU rose and hurriedly left the court. The
jailors laid the oorpse straight on the floor of
the dock, and hastened away. Many a man
dead by the execution of the law had they seen,
but never such a sight as this. All through
the night, the dead lay there, a guard of sol
diers keeping silent watch. There is a story
that at midnight a weeping woman stole in
like a spirit, kissed the cold lips, clasped the
rigid hands, and vanished. Next day an
inquest was held; the body contained a large
quantity of metalllo poison. The jailor swore
that on the preceding day, a little before the
prisoner was brought np to court, he found
him, with his wife, greatly agitated, and vo
miting violently. "I have taken some tea,"
said Jackson, "which has disagreed with me."
He had died of poison, and baffled the law.
Whether it was to save himself and his family
from the shame of an ignominious execution,
or to preserve his property from confiscation,
he had hurried to the final Court of Appeal.
In his pocket, as he lay dead, were found
come passages from the penitential Psalms, in
his own handwriting.
Such a scene could never be forgotten by
those who witnessed it. Few, however, could
imagine the effect it had upon the judge. Here
is his "note," written with his own hand ou
the very night of Jackson's death, when the
eyes of the corpse were rigidly fixed upon the
ceiling of the Court:
"April 30, 1795. Recolleot the death of that
Jackson, at the moment that judgment was
about to be pronounced upon him. This should
make a new judicial era in your life. As to
regimen, diligence, and exercise, remember to
ride and walk as much, toeat and sleep as little
as possible; to read law as muoh, to idle as
little as you can, and never to fret at all; to
laugh and smile as much, to frown and sulk as
little as may be. Never to be drank. Put
yourself into no person's power. Live as long
and as happy as you can. Turn each moment
to the best account, and make the most of
each good occasion, and the best of every bad
one. Look to God and yourself only."
