THE KINGSWooD iIuaDSH : REPRIEVI OF THE
CONVICT WILTSHIRE. —Wiltshire, who was sentenced to
death at the late Gloucester assize for the murder of
Harriet Num at Two Mile-hill, was reprieved on
Satur lay. After his attack upon the warder last week it
was fully expected that the capital sentence would be
carried into I ffect ; but it is supposed that the doubt
which existed as to whether the injuries be inflicted
upon the woman were the direct reuse of death led the
Home Secretary to exercise the Royal clemency. On
Friday last three of his sisters and a brother saw the
condemned criminal—his wife, who wee to have
accompanied them, being too ill to go to Gloucester.
His relatives uked him • question to tide effect:-
0' Whatever could make you wish to kill Sergeant Oakey
when you told us in the chaplain's letter that all the
officers were so good to you. Hid answer was—" I
thought if I could have got home I would have murdered
Mileoru." The interview lasted an boar, and was,
ag may be readily imagined, of • very painful nature.
To the officials of the gaol he stated that it was his

committed suicide.
Till HECoND CONFESSION OF SHRWARD.— Up to
Saturday no reprieve had been received for the convict
sheward, now lying under sentence of death at Norwich,
for the murder of hi, first wife, Martha Shewarel.
Mors has been an impreesion in some quarters that this
reprieve might possibly be granted in consequence of
the state of the convict's health. He is not looking IA
well as whoi he was first brought down to Norwich,
after his first confeuion early in January. He is
suffering so much from rheumatism in the anales as to
render walking a matter of difficulty to him. His
general health is, howeeer, tolerably good; he eats and
ale-pa pretty well. Under these circumstances the
prison surgeon (Hr. Day) has not deemed it necessary,
It is understood, to make any special official report
upon the cue. Since his conviction Slumlord has been
attentive to the religious instruction which he has
received from the chaplain, and his general conduct in
the prison hos been quiet and orderly. It is stated
that in his second confession Steward say. that he
quarrelled with hie wife about some Money that he
w.shed to be left in the care of • friend. The wife
objected to this, and in the heat of passion he seized a
knife and stabbed her in the throat, and that she almost
buten ly fell dead. He dared not sleep at home that
night. He went to some plum near Yarmouth; but
fearing that the murder might be found out by any
one en'eting the house, and discovering the victim'
body, he returned to Norwich, and commenced to cut
the body up lie severed the head, arms, legs, hands
and feet from the trunk, end stowed them away in
some part of the honse up stairs, and for • night or two
he slept down stairs on the sofa. When decomposi-
tion eet in, and the smell became bad, he ant portions
of the remains into bits, and strewed them about the
streets and fields after dark. When the smell became
worse he lit fires in various parts of the boom to
Sonuteract it, and at hat he tried to boil the remains
away. The head, bands, and feet were placed in a
pot upon the fire, and he was disappointed to find that
they would not readily drop to pious. He, therefore,
took them out of the pot, broke the skull into powder,
and threw it away at diff irent times with the heads and
feet. It is s ,pposed that this parboiling of the bands
and feet in sled the medical men in their opinion as to
ric age of the murdered woman. He it said to have
precool that the hair boiled off the skull, and that
he ultimately burned it in the fire. Portions of the in-
testines were carried in a basket to one of the church.
yards, where he threw them over the walL The cut-
ting up and boiling of the body was done during the
daytime, and after dark be disposed of the remains in
the decree, and fields, and churchyards, as already des-
cribed. It is said to be the opinion of the authorities
at Norwich gaol that, should the man's life be spared,
bin remorse is so greet that he will most probably
become insane. Should no reprieve arrive, the execution
rill take place this (Taeaday) morning.
