Monsieur d'Alger: Los verdugos de la República Francesa
En 1870, la República de Francia abolió a todos los verdugos locales y nombró al verdugo de Argel, Antoine Rasseneux, Éxécuteur des Arrêts Criminels en Algérie, que se convirtió en la denominación oficial de Francia para el verdugo de la ocupación argelina. A partir de entonces, solo habría un verdugo encargado de ejecutar las sentencias de muerte en toda Argelia. Dado que el verdugo de la colonia debía residir en Argel, pronto se le empezó a llamar «Le Monsieur d'Alger» («El hombre de Argel»). Tras su nombramiento, Rasseneux pudo elegir a cuatro de entre los antiguos verdugos locales de Francia y Argelia para que fueran sus ayudantes.

Brasil
Después de 1808, durante el Reino Portugués-Brasileño (1808-1822) y el Imperio (1822-1889), cuando los estados de Brasil todavía se llamaban " provincias " y la moneda se llamaba "reis", Brasil había abolido de hecho la tortura, pero era un país donde se aplicaba con frecuencia la pena de muerte . El método de ejecución era el ahorcamiento público mediante una caída ultracorta de aproximadamente 90 cm (2' 9 1 1/2"), en la que el verdugo, tras activar la trampilla o empujar al condenado, según la estructura de la horca, subía por una escalera y se lanzaba hacia abajo con la cuerda, golpeando los hombros del condenado con su peso. Los verdugos generalmente eran seleccionados entre los condenados por delitos capitales cuyas sentencias de muerte habían sido suspendidas indefinidamente o incluso conmutadas por cadena perpetua sin libertad condicional, y que, a cambio de dichas suspensiones o conmutaciones, debían llevar a cabo las ejecuciones ordenadas por la ley. Siempre que era posible, los verdugos eran seleccionados entre los esclavos condenados por un delito capital. Y, excepto en la provincia de Rio Grande do Norte , los verdugos debían ser obligatoriamente de ascendencia africana. Como condenados con sentencia suspendida o conmutada, los verdugos vivían como reclusos en las prisiones de las respectivas ciudades donde estaban destinados. Cuando se debía llevar a cabo una ejecución en otro lugar de su área, el verdugo era transportado al lugar. de ejecución encadenada y dormida en la prisión local; después de un intento de asesinato contra Fortunato José en 1834, las prisiones comenzaron a separar a los verdugos de los demás reclusos. En la provincia de Rio Grande do Norte , el verdugo siempre debía ser el convicto programado para morir después de una ejecución, por lo que la última ejecución en esa provincia tuvo que ser llevada a cabo por un pelotón de fusilamiento, después del necesario cambio de emergencia del protocolo de ejecución. En el estado de Río de Janeiro , después de la Independencia el 7 de septiembre de 1822, también hubo verdugos libres de ascendencia africana que, al tener que viajar, eran contactados por mensajeros con las órdenes de ejecución. Los verdugos, incluso cuando eran esclavos, recibían un pago por sus ejecuciones; por ejemplo, en la provincia de Minas Gerais , podemos establecer que el pago era de entre 4.000 y 12.000 dólares (4.000 a 12.000 reales) por ejecución. La última ejecución de un convicto libre en Brasil fue la de José Pereira de Sousa el 30 de octubre de 1861 en Santa Luzia. (actualmente Luziânia ), GO . La última ejecución bajo la ley en Brasil. fue la del esclavo Francisco el 28 de abril de 1876 en Pilar , AL . Brasil abolió la pena capital oficialmente con la Proclamación de la República el 15 de noviembre de 1889, y por ley con su primera Constitución republicana de 1891 y el Código Penal del 22 de septiembre de 1892.

Monsieur de Paris: The Executioners of the French Republic
In 1870 the Republic of France abolished all local executioners and named the executioner of Paris, Jean-François Heidenreich, Exécuteur des Arrêts Criminels, which became France's official description of the executioner's occupation. From then on, there would be only one executioner to carry out death sentences for all of France except Corsica, which would follow in 1875. As the Republic's executioner was required to live in Paris, people soon started to refer to him as "Monsieur de Paris", "The Mister from Paris". At the occasion of his nomination, Heidenreich could choose four among France's former local executioners to be his aides.

Before that, bakó(executioner) belonged to the status of the county, the city, the larger estate, now five executioners will be enough throughout Hungary. Later he abolished even the capital punishment(except in the military cases)but in 1795 Emperor Franz I. reintroduced.[6]

The next day, 28 April 1825, two anonymous convicts of whose names have not appeared records so far, if there are any surviving somewhere, refused the "job" either and so persisted when being shown the gallows and in front of them announced they'd be hanged there later; they preferred their own hangings

Nem tudjuk, önként vagy utasításra vonult-e nyugalomba harmincegy év után, de 1849-től új, szintén brünni származású hóhér, Both Ferenc váltotta fel őt. Mintha az elnyomó osztrák hatalom még a büntetés-végrehajtókban sem bízott volna a forradalmi időkből. Tény, hogy míg a budai oldalon Schuller korábbi segédje, a győri születésű Kornberger Mihály kizárólag köztörvényes bűncselekményért elítélteken hajtotta végre a halálbüntetést, addig Both a forradalmi cselekedeteikért halálra ítélt politikai foglyok kivégzését is vállalta. Az állami terror idején Schuller József alakja egy letűnt, reményteli korszak emlékét idézte, amikor még a hóhér vörös megkülönböztető öltözetének szabása is magyaros volt a kivégzéseken..." https://fovarosikeptar.hu/tanulj-velunk-tortenelmet-2021-9-10-evfolyam/a-forradalom-es-a-szabadsagharc/
