ANOTHER CHAITER IN THE ORKENACRE

MURDER.

The following is abridged from the Empire of
Sidney •
" Most people whose memo!, denies them bask for a
quarter of • century will remember the leading features
of an estreordinary crime which took place in London
about the emoneneement of the year IEI7, and which,
probably, excited in the public mind as great a degree ot
horror as any deed of guilt ever committed in the me-
tropolis. I allude to the murder by °reenacts of Mrs.
Brown, • woman to whom he was to have been married
MI the day following that on which he perpetrated the
atrocious offence, for which be justly paid the penalty of
his worthless life. Some of tbe circumstances were so
horribly grotesque, that no lapse of years can efface
them frosts the memory of those who then became ac-
quainted with them. °reenact', it was proved at the
trial, completely dimembered the body of the unforta.
site Mrs. Brown, and after disposing of the trunk and
limbs in various piens, actually rode about London in
• be and omnibuses for two or three days, with the head
, alder his arm, wrapped in a silk handkerchief, telling
those frienr's and acquaintances who happened to In-
quire as to the contents of the bundle he seemid so
careful of, that it was only a cabbage! Of the murderer
himself, end of the particulars of his trial and execu-
tion, I shall here say nothing. The crirenmatances which
I am about to relate has no further connection with
him and his history than that it refers to the ultimate
fate of the wretched woman, who was his paramour and
accomplice, who assisted him, if not in the edits'
murder, at least to conceal the evidence of it, and who
was to have shared the proceeds of his guilt. Sarah
Gale, the woman alluded to, became, if possible, an
object of greater seem-sties than the murderer himseU.
She was admitted on the trial to give evidence against
him, and by this means to preserve her worthless life
for the fate which betel her many years afterwards in
Ste far interior of this country. It will. perhaps, be
necessary to explain that at the time of the murder of
Mrs. Brown I was almost a child—that it was the first
crime of horror with the details of which I had ever
been made acquainted—and that the impreesion left on
my youthful mind was of a vivid and painful nature.
In the year 11358 I was residing in • remote part of this
colony. I did not regularly follow my profession as a
means of livelihood; indeed, the population was much
too scattered, and far too healthy, to induce a medical
man to remain there. When, however, accident, or
the usual occurrences of domestic life threw anything in
my way, I took advantage of it to help out an otherwise
not very liberal income, and by this mesas became ac-
quainted with facts connected with the dreadful crime
Minded to 20 years after it was committed,
" One morning before day break I was roused from
sleep by • heavy knocking at my bedroom window,
which looked out into the verandah of my residence.
On inquiry I found I was required, at &distance of some
sixty miles, to attend a woman who had been thrown
teem her horse against • tree. 'she messenger informed
rue that if I made haste and could save the patient, I
should be handsomely rewarded, as she was very rich,
having some thousands of cattle and stations half as big
as England itself; that fresh horses would meet us, and
that if I rode well, we could do the distance in some-
thing like lire hours. This gratuitous information
he gave me while hurrying on my clothes. In
twenty minutes I was on my way to the Big Rivet,
aero/11 long arid plains, with not • tree or shrub in
sight. After • ride of six hours and ten minutes
we arrived at the homestead or head station. After
running the gauntlet through • dozen hungry kangaroo
dogs, I reached the patient's bed-room. On approaching
the door I saw the bell directly opposite; it seemed to
contain a huge pile of somethiag in the centre. On
going clime to the bed-side I found my patient to be
a woman of vast size and weight—certainly not less than
16 stone; and the heap I had noticed on my entrance
was her extensive and respectable corporation. On
examination' found she had suffered both from external
and internal injuries to such An extent that I feared
the case was hopeless. She turned to look at me. I
begged she would not disturb herself. 'Not disturb
myself,' she interrupted, 'it is eery to say so, but why
do you not give me something to relieve this dreadful
pain? Give me something, I pray, or I must go
mad."

'At noon next day a marked change for the worse
had taken place. The period had arrived for me to
perform an unpleasant duty. I broke the news to the
unfortunate woman with as mesh centMn as possible,
telling to prepare for the wont, and to arrange any
affairs she might wish to have settled before her final
departure from this world. She told me the whole
Rued the accident, in • calm collected manlier, and
would be kind to draw • will for her, as she
terogrted me the whole of bar property was hers, and
that she was living with CV—. bat not legally married
to him, therefore she should dispose of her property as
she liked, which she did. The will being finished' I
wished her to sign it in my presence, and in that of
other witnesses; she had a marked repugnance to do
this, which appeared dreadful to her, as • last act. I
showed her the necessity of doing so in possession of
her faculties, or, before any derangement took plea.
I She refused to sign it bet in the presence of two
persons. whom she named, her hnabasd and myself. I
ordered the room to be cleared, aod gave her the pee,
and put the usual questions. Si.. hesitated a
long time—there was a stillness that was fearful to me
For some ten minute. ; at last, she summoned sufficient
resolution to eousuienec but slopped at the Int letter,
S 'Oh, wait • little,' dee said, 'I am thinking,thinking,
thinking, of times long passed,' and as she seemed to
be talking more to herself, as it is called, than address-
ing us, I made no reply. Her husband, who was now
sober, witnessed this death•bed scene with evident
emotion. 'James' said the woman, 'I should like to be
alone with the doctor • little while. I have something
to tell him, but nothing I have to confess that you do
not already know.' The husband then left. She then
told we what I vu never, never to tell again.
I was at first absolutely paralysed. There, in that
remote solitude, did that dying woman reveal facts so
dreadful, and so connected with my painfully distinct
recollection of bygone days that I absolutely shook
with agitation. It seemed more like • horrible dream
than a waking testily. She readied me to my senses by
her despairing appeals to Heaves for forgiveness. She
seemed completely hopeless of pardon. I tried at length
to comfort her, and bade her not despair. 'Row glad
I an, you are here, doctor • you shall be well paid for
all this. Do you know I feel happier now since I have
told you all. Oh, if I could have seen a clergyman, but
there is none nearer than 150 miles. Too late, too late!
I shall soon be elsewhere. Ab, where ? I beued of her
to sincerely repent of her funs, and seek hope for the
future. !the clasped her hands together, sighed deeply
as though her heart was oppressed, and alai was at a
loss for words. She spoke at last with effort and
evident fatigue, ' Cell in him,' she said. I did her
bidding; in the presence of her husband I gave her
the pen; she gave one look of despair and anguish,
signed the will, and I witnessed at once the death and
creature of 'Sarah Gale.'
'As it was too late to start for home the same day
on which Mrs. G— died, and to sleep was impossible,
I made a memorandum of the circumstance an hoer or
so after her death took plus.
" I have said all that I feel at liberty to divulge of a
story which will ever haunt my memory."
