TUE. SENTENCE ON SARAH ANN con-
victed of the murder of her newly-born infant, at York,
who was respited fora week, has been commuted to trans-
portation fur life. The representations of the chaplain of
the gaol were most urgent on behalf of the unhappy woman
at the last moment previous to the time appointed for her
execution. The representations since made by the whole of
the jure, the magistrates and municipal authorities of all
parties, and the leading inhabitants of York, chiefly on the
around of the bail character of the witnesses on whose tes-
timony the conviction took place, were so general that it
was quite impossible to allow the execution to take plate.
It is much to be wished, however, in the-e caws, that any-
thing calculated to throw a doubt upon them, or to elf .rd
grounds for mitigation of punishment, should be brought
lorward at the proper time, and not be allowed to transpire
at the latest moment only.—/bed.
