EXECUTION OP THE DUNDRY MURDERERS.

(THIS DAY.)

This morning Matthew Wedmore and Charles
Wedmore suffered the extreme penalty of the law in frost
of the county gaol, at Taunton, foe the murder of Sarah
Waterman, their aunt.

On the 9th of January last the two Wedmore'
went to the house of their uncle George Waterman,
an old Chelsea pensioner, living at Dundry, and obtained
access to the house by one of them pretending to be a
polioeman. As soon as tho old man opened the door
Matthew Wedmore struck him on the head with ■ short
bludgeon, the other man Charles being present at the time.
The poor old fellow ran into the kitchen, Matthew fol-
lowed him, and knocked him down, and then struck
him several times when on the ground. During this time
the old man did not see Charles. Matthew then seised the
old man and dragged him upstairs, and asked him where
the money wee, and he told them. He implored them not
to hurt his wife, when Charles Wedmore said be had " put
her to sleep." They took some money and a watch, and in
looking about found a brace of pistols, on which the
younger villain told his brother to kill the old man, as they
did net mind killing people. They then tied his arms and
his legs and fastened him in the milkhouar. After the
culprits had gone he managed to loosen his bonds and
crawled into the kitchen, and found his wife lying on the
Boor almost dead, having been brutally beaten and
mutilated. She shortly afterwards died, never having
rallied sufficiently to say which of the two men killed her.
The ruffianly murderers mutually savaged each other of the
actual murder, and even during the tint. of the trial hor-
ribly bLuphemed one another.

Both prisoners rose at an early hour this morning,
and were alternately visited by the rev. chaplain,
listening with apparent earnestnees to his exhortations.
Shortly before It o'clock the uder•sheriff arrived at
thignel, and, accompanied by If r. W. Oakley, the governor,
and other officials of the prison, proceeded to the cells.
The executioeer (Calcraft) pinioned them in the separate
cells, and they bore themselves with great composure
during the awful ceremony. As the prison clock struck
eight the chapel bell gave warning to the miserable
men They met for the first time since their sentence in
the peewee leading to the scaffold, and at once shook hands.
The welshed culprits mounted the scaffold with a she
and Arm step, apparently indifferent to the execrations and
cries with which they were received. They both &book
►ads with the governor and the chaplain, and fervently
thanked them for the kindness exhibited towards them, but
neifisral them said anything up to the last moment as to
the crime. Oalcraft speedily adjusted the rope', and within
few moments their frightful crime was expiated. The
babe@ wen cut down, and buried within the progiads of
the prime. The crowd present was immense.
