of the Debts's' door, at Newrte.
Assn Norris w seduced at an early ages and
being sharal•ced by her faithless paramour, ism ever
Oat, led • life the moat abandoned and dissolute.
Her offence was of tire moat ammoa character.—
She was a person of rather ea attractive person,
and was what is expmwively seemed " • decoy
dock" to one of the 'punts of infamy in the in.
cioity of Whitechapel. Into this brothel she ea-
t. ced a couiltresuan, and, aided by others, plun-
dered him of all his property, and treated him ion
most violent and cruel manner, and ultimately tore
Isis clothes from his back. Norris proposed to her
consprinions (one of whom is now under ',usenet of
death in Newgide haying pleaded piegnanc)) ro
" murder the b-- ;" but her less hardened awn-
paniona opposed it, and the poor fellow escaped
with hi. life.
Joseph South, who Irma mere boy, had been for
a considerable time an utterer of forged bank notes,
and he and Coalman, who "offered last week, were
dealer. together. &Julio lard been several times in
custody, charged with uttering forged one and five
pound rooter; but the offence for which he paid the
forfeit of his life was for uttering three ten pound
notes. and although lie wished to wive his life by
•gileoding guilty. yet the Book could not, in justice
te other offeasdieni; WSW to him that mercy he
prayed for. 'tt ~..
' The anfe!tuplasi Flilyward was a remarkably
handsome Oung .silo. and his connexion" were
highly respictoble. He hod received a liberal
education, and in his business as a sculptor, we are
told, exhibited greet promise of future excellence
a. an artist. He became connected with a gang of
gide legs at a gaming-house, nod proceeded from
one vice to another till lie became completely prac-
tised in villainy. He bed been known some years
as a good racquet add turd player, and recently he
b-came associated with a daring band of burglars.
The offence for which he suffered was committing n
burglary at
,Keutioli Towns. He sad his gang
cleared the'preinisea of all the valuable property,
which was to a great somata. The particulars of
this outrage has, however, already appeared before
the public.
Amery Steele. and Jan Jacobs (s Prussian), both
.convicted of robberies. and ordered for execution yes-
terday,t he latter of a street robbery, received reprieves
on Monday night. The case of Jacobs, since the
ripest was made containing the order for his execu-
tion, in consequence of very high influence having
been used io his behalf, was reconsidered by his
• 4,..„...Paity Council. Documents were pro-
eed *wing his good character, and honest mode
.liiing, up to the commission of the robber;, ar.d
'iii was.also proved that the wiriness (a female) upon
whOse testimony lie was convicted, was a person so
stiiiidoped, that she was not to be credited on her
oath. This, with other evidence, tending to prove
the innocence of J .cobs, induced the Council to
recommend hisMikiesity to reprieve the unfortunate
man. When the reprieve arrived at Newgate for
him and Amey Steel, they fell on their knees, and
returned God %hook*, foe their unlooked-for deliver-
ance from a dreadful death.
Monday night (lay word occupied himself io writ-
ing a letter to a retails,. and the other two criminals
were- otterided by Gospel Ministers, who prayed
With theis till a tate hour, and joined them early
in the morning. At halt past seven o'clock last
morning the Sberiffs Venable' and Garrett arrived
at Newgste, stud admitted the. Gentlemen belongs
ing to the Prep, having kindly furnished them
with tickets of adoniss:ou on the preceding day. Oa
their arrival in the Press-room, Mr. Brown delivered
the andeattted op to the Sheriffs. South was the
first brought into the room ; Isis irons beino
knocked off, lie **id, " Oh, my poor mother I"
He was asked if he ft It comfortable, rod he
replied, " Yrs, perfectly an." Ile said he was
quite resigned to his fate. Ills behaviour bor-
dered updm carelessness. Hayward catered the
place, said seemed inwardly convulsed. lie placed
his foot on the block to Isaac his irons knocked off
with great firmness, and during the time ap-
peared to be engaged in prayer ; after which he
addressed the Sheriffs, and expressed bin gratitude
for their attentions to him. He was asked if he felt
resigned to his fate ? Ile replied', " I feel as a mom
who has violated the lies of his country ought to
feel." .

South again interrupted the awful preparations
by exclaiming, " Oh, my mother !"
Doctor Cotton and Hayward had a conference
for some minutes, and is stated that he made im.
portaut disclosures. He on dreamed in black, mud
his genteel appraninceand haurtsome per•on seemed
to raw, extrsoidinury sympathy iu his favour.
• Arils Norris had been pinioned in another apart-
strut, and on the Sheriffs moving with the two
male culprits in procesaiou through the dungeon's
vaults towards the room at the rout of the scaffold,
she fell iu with the processiou about ball' way. She
was dressed isr ',Msg, attended by the Rev. Mr.
Bilker, her conduct sotpristrigly firm, and she
expressed a cumplett.tesiguation to her melisucholy
fate.
Hayward, on leaving the Press-roam, shook hands
with Mr. Sheriff Garratt, and amid, " God bless
you," and inquired if the females had been re-
pneved. He was informed that one was to suffer ;
he seemed deeply affected, and exclaimed with
much earnestness, " God bless her and support
her; God help her, poor creature!" and appeared
to feel for her situation snore than fur his own.
The criminals having arrived ut the dock, South
woo taken immediately to the scaffold. He *hewed
trot the lent symptom of fear during the whole time
the executioner was making the preparations for his
awful exit. There was a noise aniong.t the crowd
expressive of disapprobation nit his first appearance,
but in a moment all was 'deuce. 011 Hayward
mounting the scaffold, lie shook hands with the of.
ficer, and said, " God bless you all !" His appear-
ance on the scaffold (hew tears from snarly, and
feelings of regret at his untimely fate from all. His
appearance and minuets were those of a perfect
grirtleman.
Norris was at prayer during the time her fellow
soffe were Iwo% tied up. On tier going to the
scaffold site said to Mr. Baker and a young gentle.
onu who paid her great attentions, " I am prepared
to die; I have put my trust in the Almighty, and

he Ids Ambled die to support Myself Irptitlit.sk
trying circumstances." When she m the
scaffold there was • considerable noise a the
spectators. She was in evident terror att but
after she rope was put rortid her neck, sad the calf
drawn over her face, she was so engaged its devotion,
that all external objecto appeared to be lent to her.
She 'book hew& with Mr. Baker and said, " 1 base
hopes in my Redeemer ; farewell, God bless you !"
The Rev. Dr. Cotton read the usual service, sand
on "Pestinff the wordy, " Oh. Lord ! deliver not
their souls to eternal death," he gave the usual
signal with his handkerchief, by applying it to his
face; the bolt was drawn by the exscutinner, and
life was el ,sad on the poor wretches for ever. Alter
hanKing an hour, the bodies were cut down and de-
livered to their friends.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Mawr,
TutsoAy, Novouissa2o.

IN THE HATTER OR STEPHEN AND JAMES ROCHE,
SUMS. BANKRUPTs.
Mr.Jacesoo, on behalf of Martin Mahotly, El.
a creditor, moved the Court that the commissiosi of
bankrupt which issued in this matter might be
superseded, on the ground that it had been issued
by Robert Barry, Esq. the petitioning creditor, at
the instance of the bankrupts; and he cited the
case of ex-parte Staff. in the matter of Saunders,
Ist Buck 349 and 431, where Lord Eldon, upon
'an appeal front the Vice-Chancellor, superseded a
commission upon a similar ground.
• This application was supported by Messrs. Grady,
Townsend, and Warren, on behalf of the assignees,
lour of whom made an affidavit, in which they mated
that they conceived it would be for the benefit of
the estate to have the opinion of the Court on the
validity of the present, or the necessity of issu-
ing. new commission.
Mr. Plunkett and Serjeant Lefroy, for the bank-
rupts—the Solicitor General for Mr. Barry, the
petitioning creditor—Mr. Henchy on behalf of
Mr. Swiney, and Mr. Franks, on the part of Mr.
Johnson, the agents to the Commission, opposed
the application.—They relied that the facts of this
case altogether differed from those of Stall's case.
and urged the great mischiefs that would result
from superseding a commission which had been for
a year and a half in operation, under which mul-
titudes of creditors had proved debts, and where
sides of property to a great amount had-taken place
—a commission, too, which had never been con-
demned in any Court of Justice, the opinion of
the Learned Judge, Mr. Baron Smith, upon the
trial of the cute of the assignees of Roche artiOst
Sher, at the late Assizes of Cork, having been,
that it was a valid commission. Mr. Mahony, how-
ever, entertained some doubts on the point, and
from his apprehension that the commission was not
a good one, called on the Court to set it aside,
after the bankrupts had obtained their certificate.
It was admitted that an undisputed and unequi-
vocal act of bankruptcy had been committed, be-
fore any application was made by the bankrupts to
Mr. Barry to issue the commission. Mr. Barry
swore in his affidavit, that he did not act in collu-
sion with the bankrupts, who saw that their affairs
were in au ruinous a state, that nothing could be
done but issue. commission. They admitted that
it the act of bankruptcy was concerted, the corn-
mission would not stand. The bankrupti might
have vested their estate in trustees under the
Bunkers' Act, and thus have protected themselves
from the inconvenience of personal examinations
on oath. They thought, however, the fairest thing
they could do for the advantage of the creditors,
was to let their property come under the operation
of the Bankrupt Laws, and Mr. Barry concurred
with them in that opinion. This case differed en-
tirely from that cited by Mr. Jackson. There the
act of bankruptcy was concerted. Lord Eldon.
in Ist Back, 67, and other cases, expressed him-
self to be of opinion that a commission could not
be superseded where sales were had. lit what situ-
ation would the purchasers be hi 'this case, if the
commission were superseded? The •certificate of
the bankrupt., too, would go for nothing. If the
bankrupts were impleuded, their certificate would
not avail them as • defence.
CHANCELLOR-" Are there many outstanding
debts yet due to the bankrupt's estate ?".
Mr. JACKSON-" Yea. my Lord, to a very large
amount."
CHANCELLOR—,4 The assignees bre bound to
call in the outstanding debts. Let them bring en
action against a debtor. arid thus try the vithility
of the commission, if doubts be entertained. There
appears to he no fraud in this case. It would be a
prodigious difficulty thrown on this Court to be
called ou to settle dotilas es to the validity of a
commission which has been so long in operation.
It would be impossible to cure all 'the mischief
which would result front superseding this commis li
-
sion. This is merely a care where there was a
choice between a proceeding under the Bankers'
Act and wider a commission of bankrupt. The
bankrupts preferred the latter. I refused the ap-
plication in Lord Ffrench's cane to supersede the
commission of bankrupt, that 1 might secure to the
creditors the advantage of a personal examination
on oath of the bankrupts. The very high autho-
rity of my Lord Eldori Jos been referred to. I do
not think that Noble Lord would supersede a coat-
. mission in such a case as this, where the bankrupts,
harlot the choice of a precerding mcder the

flanker,' Act, or the RaDtriipt Laws, preferred the
litter. I really can hardly call this a friendly com-
mit:l.km. Let the petition be refused, sad all-the
parties, with the exception of the aosignees, loire
their costs against Mr. Mahony, the petitioner."
