_Capital Punishment_ (Vol. vii., p. 181.).--Your correspondent S. Y. may
find the date of the last instance of capital punishment for exercising the
Roman Catholic religion in Bishop Challoner's very interesting _Memoirs of
Missionary Priests_: Keating, 1836. Every reader of Fox's _Book of Martyrs_
should, in fairness, consult the above work. There is another earlier work,
_Théâtre des Cruautés des Hérectiques de nostre temps_, Anvers, 1588; but
it is unfortunately very scarce.
