however, had instructions from the owners to follow the

EXECUTION AT SIIIIMWEIBURY.—Edward Cooper
was executed in frost al the gaol, Shrewsbury, at nom e•
Saturday, for the murder of his son, in premed of a large
number of spectators. The prisoner was a widower with
two children—one a boy of sushi years, who was a cripple
and deformed, and the other a girl somewhat his junior.
The prisoner was a farm labourer, arid bed put
out his children to nurse at the house of poor
people. It was proved that the boy had contracted
a loathsome skin disease, end the people with whom
be was lodging were anxious that' he should leave their
home. They accordingly sent him to his father, who re-
luctantly received bin, and the ill-fated lad was lodged in
a tulld, or hey-loft at Mr. Lewis's, of B,acburcb, where also
the father lodged. He had only been there a day or two
when the father took him ant one morning with him, saying
be was going to seed him to his grandmother at Man-
chester. On the name evening the father borrowed a spade
of a cottager to whom be was unknown. The boy never
returned home, and it transpiring that be had sot been sent
to Manchester, inquiry was made by the police, the borrow-
ing of the spade gave a clue, the neighbouring woods were
searched, and the partially decomposed body of a child—
identified by his clothing—was found in a coppice near to
the prisoner's lodqisga. Death bed been aided by dreagu-
ktioe, a cord having been tied tightly round the little
fellow's neck. There were so other marks of violence on
the body, and there could be no doubt that the spade had
been borrowed for the purpose of burying the child, which
had been akeedy drawled by the father. The prisocer
made • full confeesioe of his guilt, and died penitent.
DIMIIRISSING CARL —At the Hull Court of
Quarter Bodices, on Friday, before Samuel Warren, Faq.,
recorder, Alvin& Sedan, aged 32, who was described as
the daughter of a Premise general, and wife of Mr. John
Simon, late a merchant and shipowner of great coin.
mercial standing at Hull, was arreigued on the charge of
dealing a drew, the property of a person named John
O'Brien, with whom she lodged. It appeared that she
had taken the drew from the house, and pawned it to
obtain drink. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and the
learned recorder, in pain sentence, said he understood
that she was born • lady, reared a lady, and that she had
had the distinguished honour of being presented at one of
the foreign courts, but had taken to drink. Tte prisoner
here interrupted him by exclaimiog that she did not drink,
she had "signed teetotal" several months ago, but bad been
deprived by her husband of everything. He brought her
from bas country, took her money from her, and left her
homeless, friendless, and childless. Thera was nothing left
bee. The prisoner at this point burst into tears, and said
she wished to he sent away. The learned recorder said he
thought it would be a mercy to send her away. In May,
1660, she had been daunted by the stipendiary ma-
(iodate to one month's imprisonment ; in August,
1860, to three months ; and, on the 31st of May,
1662, to six mouth,' imprisonment. The prisoner pleaded
guilty to soother charge. and the grand jury bad also found
&true bill spinet her in a further case. It was one of the
most distressing eases that had ever come before him mince
he had sat on that bench. He knew that she was • mem-
ber of • distinguished family, and that she was a married
woman ; but be had reason to believe that she bad lived oil
unhappy terms with her husband. She was • confirmed
drunkard, and had been three times previously convicted
for feloity, each seeded being double that of the previous
one, and he feared that if she was at large she would be
drunk within the hour. It was, therefore, his painful duty
to pad • severe sentence upon her, which was that eke
should be kept to penal servitude for three years.
EXTRAORDINARY CAER or HOESR-STEALIRCI.—
I On Saturday morning, shortly after 11 o'clock, a man was
seen to enter the town of Bishop Stanford on borethaek,
whose movement& attracted the attention of the pollee, and
while they were thus engaged one of the Cambridgeshire
constabulary came in by the morning train, and gave in-
formatien that two men had been brutally ill-treated at
Sizmile-bottom, near Newmarket, the assailant knocking
, one off a horse he was mounted npoo, then jumping on the
animal's back and riding off, at the same time threatening
Ito murder them if they followed him. Mr. Inspector
Ryder, suspecting the offender was the man that he bad
been watching, at oace went to the George Hotel, and in
the stables he foiled the man giving instructiod to the
ostler, when be informed him that he should apprehend
him on the charge of stealing the horse, and also with the
latent to murder. The fellow assumed a deseqountid air,
and threatened to ruin the inspector if he did so. although
be admitted that be had that morning eerie from Newels,-
; but when Mr. Ryder intimated his intention to ex-
ecute his duty the Maas resisted with such determined
violence as to make It neceseary to handcuff him, and in this
measlier be was coeveyed through the town to the polies
station. When there he pve hie name as William Beau-
