The following is an article on rural Sussex, in the " Queen " :
. "There are old stories connected ".J with th.e place—notably that of tho J wife-beater, whose tombstone inMhajJH pretty old churchyard records,' iJSj sculptured condemnation, the story how John Sholtor dragged his wife v out of bed and trampled on her arm, before throwing her downstairs to her death. In the corner is Death, bending towards threatening attitude from an. acflbnt tomb.' As John Shotter, however, married again alter he had done his wife to death, just a hundred and ten year's ago, it is presumed that he escaped the punishment of the lawno lynx-eyed press being then in existence. A grimmer story is connected with a place called North Heath, which had once it 3 gallows like any ochrir civilized part of England. It stood ~ where the mail was robbM in' the early Spring of 1799, and oKt swung in chums the bodies of two brothers Drewitt, found guilty of the robbery, and executed at Horsham - one black thirteenth of April in the same year. They were then brought ■• to the place of offence, and there they swung as a terror to evil-doers, according to the barbarous practice instituted ' by the second of the Georges. To the last the younger brother asserted his inuocence, and swore that he had had no hand in the affair. Naturally he I was not believed, and the sentence took effect. Now it is almost certain that ho was not guilty, but that hjwKtd in lieu of his father, who was. 'Hffer. the execution, the miserable father spent the remainder of his days in sitting at tho foot of the gibbet on which swung the bodies of his two sons,' , Sussex, like.other places, believes in the magic 'stroke of a dead man's ; hand—now for this cure and now for i this benefit, Hero it is good for all : affections of the throat, and peoplo ~• walk long distances for the good of the . - miracle, as good as those wcjttid by Lourdes or Oropa. The younger Drewitt's body' hung a many months, be not being guilty, and having on tho new pair of deer skin breeches in which he was taken;' and while he remained there children were held up, and his ghastly hand was swung across their throats to cure the cough or croup, or -what not, with which they were afflicted, '
