"It is believed at Sheffield, that the executioner of Charles I., was a person of the name of William Walker, a native of Darnall, near Sheffield.

The executioners were a certain José Guzman (alias Pepin, a nephew of Dimas) and Cayetano Pérez.

The chief executioner was a tall and bony man, extremely ferocious.

The executioner was the Abbé de Cinq-Pierres, for Gavroche is as logical as he is ingenious.

There is a want of dramatic unity in the whole; the figures are introduced in an accidental way, and their relative proportion is not accurately preserved; the executioner, for example, is head and shoulders larger than anyone else, whilst the two figures standing on the steps of Solomon's throne are in marked contrast.

The word kaishaku it should be observed, is one to which our word executioner is no equivalent term.
