Note 206 — ANNALS (continued 3)
Reading edition
Hanging on the triangular gallows at Tyburn was effected by placing the sufferer, with the rope round his neck, on a cart. This being drawn from under him, he was left hanging. Elsewhere the usual way was to make the sufferer mount a ladder, which was turned, so leaving him suspended. When several persons were executed in this way, they were hanged, not simultaneously, but one after the other.
