TEN GALLOWB AT LAST. —The Australian papers
reoord the trial sad eoodennistion of Robert Thome Pelle,
for having burulariouely entered the dwelling-house of
Samuel Harding, of Fremantle, and oomrcitted an anaolt
by. force of arms. The offence was cleerly proved ;
prisoner threatened ILA. Harding that ho would
blow her brains out if she made auy wise,
and the property carried off was found is his
house. After the judge had pseud sentence of
death in • most impressive manner, the prisoner
said he was not the first MAD who had bete cm-
demned to death while innocent, and that he could die but
once. The dread sentence was carried into affect a few
days after. It may be remembered that Palin was tried
at the Maidstone spring assizes in 1854 for the murder of •
woman at Cuillism in the autumn of the previous year.
He was acquitted on that charge, but was apprehended
immediately after the trial by Inspector Bauer, of the
metropolitan police, on a charge of burglary committed
user Bristol, and on being tried at the ensuing swine* at
Olonenter he was transported fur life. —Mo idirms
