A short narative of the execution of the unfortunate Tea
above-mentioned. About 8 o'clock in the evening, a gallows
was erected in the middle of the street opposite Mr. Weed's
tavern; a large concourse of people soon collected, and were
joined by a number of the soldiery quartered in the town, a
grand procession soon began. . . [5 more lines] and after
parading through part of the principal streets with drums
beating and fifes playing a most doleful sound, they came to
the gallows, where the common hangman soon performed his
office to the general satisfaction of the spectators; as it
was thought dangerous to let the said Tea hang all night. .
