Re: 1823 execution Coroner of Ayre
In Response To: 1823 execution Coroner of Ayre ()

I don't know, I'm afraid, but I wondered what sort of execution? Hangings were usually carried out by the Coroner of Glenfaba, who remained the Island's hangman until capital punishment was abolished. However, an 'execution' as usually (and still today) executed by a Coroner is a Court order requiring the payment of money under a Court judgment.
