Execution of Bonet and his accomplices at Alicant, 1844. The accompanying article describes the 'sanguinary spectacle', and hopes that 'by giving publicity to this wholesale massacre, we may raise the indignation of every humane mind, and that, by a general demonstration, Spain may for ever be prevented from repeating such barbarous murders'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I.
