London, Febr. 29.  Tuesday last were brought into Lincoln
Goal the two rogues who murder'd the young man in the
chaise.  They are named Hallam, being brothers:  On entering
Lincoln they were treated with the utmost ignominy and
reproach; one of them was for murdering all they attacked,
and when taken upbraided the other with hindering him from
doing it, as the chief cause of their being apprehended. 
They forc'd a post-boy on the road to blow his horn told him
it was his death peal, and immediately cut his throat, and
that of his horse.  The post-boys greeted them as they
pass'd through Lincoln, in the same manner, sounding their
horns; on which one of them wept.
