| From January 1, 1830, to December 31, 1857 (twenty-eight years), thirty-seven persons had been sentenced to be executed, on convictions had in the criminal courts of the county. Of this number, sixteen were executed; the sentences of thirteen were commuted to imprisonment for life; one was pardoned; one committed suicide; in four cases new trials were ordered--two were subsequently convicted of manslaughter and one discharged, and two under sentence. |
