EXECUTION.

Om the 41st ul►. was executed at the county gaol.
Fisherton, near Salisbury, William Lee, aged t.S,
a baker, of a respectable family at High Wy-
combe, Bucks, who was convicted at the late Wilts
liaises of uttering forged Bank of England note-.
Great interest was made to permit him to plead
to the minor offence; and subsequent to his con•
victim. to obtain a reprieve. but in vain, the
Bank Directors considering it to be a case which
would not allow of either. His penitence appeared
deep and unfeigned. He acknowledged that he
had been very dissolute, and that he had stifled
convictions ill suited to the indulgence of vicious
propensities. Though distressed even to agony,
and often doubtful if God would forgive so great •
sinner, he occasionally expressed is cheerful hope,
while confiding in those declarations of mercy made
to the repentant. With Mr. Saffery in the final
interview, no language could exceed the pathetic
emphasis of his broken prayers, in which. with the
unstudied eloquence of a bursting heart, he im-
plored mercy fur himself, his family, his fellow-pri-
soners. and all those who occurred to his hurried re-
collection. Amidst these awfully impressive sup-
plications, he made the must tender allusions to his
wife and infant child.

The son of the celebrated HUSTINGTOX, the
prophet acid preacher, was brought up to the
Mansion Hou-e, on Monday, on • charge of hav-
ing broken into the warehouse which was some
time ago the refuge for the houselees, under
circumstances which led the watchmen of the say.
lam to suspect him of having intended to destroy
the place by fire, or to plunder it. It appeared on
iuvestigatiou that an officer and a watchman, who
had the care of the warehouse, being alarmed at a
late hour of the night, by • noise, examined the
place, and discovered something moving under
some straw ; and at the moment a deadly blow was
aimed at the concealed object of their search by the
watchman. a poor wretched-looking creature. half
naked, was dragged nut of the straw. He said he
was son to Huntington, the prophet; and that hav-
ing no work. and being refused pariah assistance.
he had repaired to the refuge, best finding the doors
shut. he had thought it no harm to creep in at the
window to sleep. On being asked why he had trot
culled out, he declared alai he did not care whether
he was killed or not, as be had no way of support.
tog himself. The Migistrate having ascertaiued
that the unfortunate man was harmless and demi.
lute. dismissed him to his parish.
A case of considerable importance to the clergy
was tried before the Lord Chief Baron ItlcHAttos
and a Special Jury, et the last Assizes held for the
county of Essex, at Chelmsford. The Court of Ex-
chequer. in Easter Term, 1817. directed several is-
sues to try whether the occupiers of certain farms, in
the parish of Thaxted had far time immemo-
rial paid to the Vicar of that parish several modules

dant was presented to the vicarage inthe year 1806,
when the question of right was first agitated. which
has been consequently pending feeders years.
