(Extract from the acts of the Legislative Committee， session of Floréal 3， year III. Restitution of the confiscated property of Alexander Long to his son.) Dartigoyte， at Auch， did what Carrier did at Nantes. "It follows from the above abstract duly signed that on the 27th Germinal， year II.， between eight and nine o'clock in the evening， Alexandre Long， Sr.， was put to death on the public square of the commune of Auch by the executioner of criminal sentences， without any judgment having been rendered against the said Long." - In many places an execution becomes a spectacle for the Jacobins of the town and a party of pleasure. For instance， at Arras， on the square devoted to executions， a gallery was erected for spectators with a room for the sale of refreshments， and， during the execution of M. de Montgon， the "？a ira" is played on the bass drum. (Paris， II.， 158， and I.， 159.)A certain facetious representative has rehearsals of the performance in his own house. "Lejeune， to feed his bloodthirsty imagination， had a small guillotine put up， on which he cut off the heads of all the poultry consumed at his table. . . . Often， in the middle of the repast， he had it brought in and set to work for the amusement of his guests." (Moniteur， XXIV.， 607， session of June I， 1795， letter from the district of Besan？on， and with the letter， the confirmatory document.) "This guillotine， says the reporter， is deposited with the Committee of Legislation."
