Details
The gibbeting of James Cook took place on 11 August 1832 on the edge of Leicester, on the Saffron Lane-Aylestone Road junction near the Aylestone tollgate. Cook was a 21-year-old bookbinder who was convicted of murdering John Paas, a brass instrument manufacturer to whom Cook owed money. Cook was convicted of the murder on 8 August, hanged on 10 August and gibbeted (also known as hanging in chains) the next day. The execution saw around 40,000 onlookers and the gibbeting was watched by over 20,000. The gibbeting was derided in the press.
