lie was assisted in loading th'i cart by Marsh, who airerwurds
followed l'.ersen on the road towards Wells: en his w..y, he
petsyided himself withthe bone of a horses kg, and got per-
mission of Parsons to ride with him in the cart. At a moment,
:itiwever, ssh,n Parsons, at the pr:ssmer's remaest, was giving
him a pinch of snuff, he kno, tied him down, ren,ated his blows,
and then cut his throat. Hy was immediately after detected
in hiding his bo;:.y at the end of the new road ieading to Wells,
year the town. Ho was then pursued and overtakeu, and con-
fessed the murder. From the moment of his apprehension,
Marsh's conduct was excessively hardened: throughout his
trial, and even after he was found guilty, he appeared inset's'.
tole to the enormity of his crime. _ _

fused the sum worm. At nine his brother.indaw wag admitted
to visit him. of whom he took leave in a very careless, uncem•
cerned manner& At a quarter before eleven he was removed
from the chapel, and, on turning round to shake hands with
his brother convicts, appeared affected. From thence he pro-
ceeded to the platforn and, as usual, the chaplain first
cooled the drop, the prisoner imumellately hollowed, and 'lad
no sooner arrived there than, finding the chaplain :dwelt to cad
hisio to prayers, lie said. " No, I shall say no more -..wSere is
