EXECCTION OP SARAH ANN FRENCII.—LENVES,
SATUILDAT Arrearroott.—This day, at noon, the wretched
woman, Sarah Ana French, who was left for execution at
the late Assize* for poisoning her husband, underwent the
extreme penalty of the law on the drop in front of the
County Gaol of this town. Of the many unhappy creatures
who of late years have suffered for poisoning their hus-
bands, perhaps none ever exhibited so revolting a want of
feeling in carrying out her diabolical plan of murder u this
wretched criminal. After being condemned, she had al-
most to be carried away from the dock, and in this prostrate
condition she continued for several days. A difference of
diet, and the elm attention of the medical and other
authorities of the gaol, somewhat restored her. The chap-
lain of the gaol also succeeded in bringing her mind to
a more befitting bearing, and during the last few
days of her life she exhibited much composure
and resignation of mind. She expressed a desire to see
some of her relatives before she left the world, and in the
early part of the week she was visited by two or three of
them. Appeals to the new Secretary of State on behalf of
condemned criminals having been peculiarly successful this
anise, it was anticipated by the anti-capital punishment
people of this district that the town would be spared the
scenes attending a public execution. The character of the
criminal's crime, however, prevented any mercy being
shown her, and on Wednesday afternoon the High Sheriff
received the warrant directing the law to Ile carried into
effect. The erection of the scaffold was commenced on
Thursday afternoon. This morning it was completed at
an early hour, and, as the Jay advanced, numbers of
country folks kept pouring into the town. Superintendent
Flanagan, of the constabulary force, was in attendance
near the drop, with a large Inidy of his men. The strict
regulations enforced by the gnul authorities on such occa-
sions prevents us giving an account of what occurred within
the walls [of the prison. The chaplain was in early at-
tendance upon the unhappy culprit, and we are authorised
to state, that she fully acknowledged her guilt to him,
and the justice of her sentence." Some few minutes before
12, the under•sheriff made the usual demand for her boi.y.
The wretched creature nes then informed that the time
had arrived for her sentence being earned into effect. She
appeared greatly agitated and excessively weak, and it was
• matter of doubt whether she would be able to proceed to
the drop on foot. Calcraft, the Old Bailey hangman, hav-
ing pinioned her, a procession was flamed, and the miser-
able woman was led to the scaffold, supported by two turn
keys. Judging from her appearance, it would almost ap
pear that, at the last few moments, she was unconscious of
what was passing. The executioner, with his usual alac-
rity, adjusted the rope and cap, and the bolt, in the course
of a minute or so, was then withdrawn. It was some
minutes ere she appeared to have ceased to exist, her,
struggles being rather long and severe. After the body
had hung ono hour, it was cut down, and will be buried
this afternoon within the precincts of the gaol. There were
between 3,0110 and 4,000 persons present.
HOLIDAY AT Tilt LAW OFFICREI.—On Saturday,

, chequer, Justice Tatfourd in the Common Plea.), and Judge
