SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1856.

THE DAY'S NEWS.

To-day another human being is to he launched
into eternity. William Jackson is to be hanged
at Chester for the murder of his own children—
that he committed the deed is certain, as has been
intimated to the chaplain of the jail, and we are
informed that he avowed his fault before the trial,
and would have pleaded guilty had he not been
advised by his friends to a contrary course. On
his first committal to Chester Castle, very bitter
feelings existed between him and his wife;
hut through the earnest intervention of the
Chaplain. the Rev. J. M. Kiluer, a reconciliation
was happily effected at an interview which took place
between the unhappy couple about a fortnight
before the assizes. On that occasion mutual
forgiveness of each other was vowed in the most
solemn manner. After this affecting meeting, Mrs.
Jackson returned with her children to Manchester.
and the letters that have since passed between her
and her husband have been of the most satisfac-
tory character. Notwithstanding his usual ap-
pearance of stoical indifference, the wretched man
has fully realised his awful position, and it is
believed has felt deep contrition for his crime,
and sought, for pardon the merits of his
Saviour. He had fully anticipated the
sentence of death, and was no sooner removed .
from the dock which he received it than he
acknowledged its justice. He has always been
most attentive to the ministrations of the Chaplain,
and grateful for them. Since his conviction, he
has been seen by the Rev. C. Bowen, Rector of St.
Mary's, and the Rev- G, Salt, Rector of St. Brid-
get's, Chester, in kind compliance with the request
of the Chaplain, who have both been satisfied with
the state of his mind under the dreadful circum-
stances in which they saw him,,; 1 He has also been
visited by several of his relatitieg- and friends, and
numerous applications for permission to minister
advice and consolation to him in his extremity
h tve been made at the Castle.
Another capital c rnviction has taken place—
Dedea Redanies, late a private in the Foreign Le-
gion, has been found guilty of the murder of the
two sisters, Caroline and MEiria Beek, at the Maid-
stone assizes. At the same time, Frances Wallace,
charged with the murder of her child, was declared
by the jury to be insane, and she will therefore
