BUILDING OPERATION

on a large scale. In the meantime an immense income will be de-
rivable from the land, arising out of the vast number of sheep and
cattle from Northamptonshire (by the railway) and the West of
England, which would need a place fo'r repose the night antecedent
to'the market. The upper part of the land borders upon the
MILITARY ROAD TO WORMHOLT SCRUBBS.
The views in all directions are extensive and beautiful, and its close
approximation to the
ELEVATED HILL OF THE HIPPODROME

will render the plan of the building one not easily resisted.
This sale is, by direction of the Board, to be peremptory.
Pa..ticulars to be had 21 (lays prior to the sale, at the inns at
Hammersmith, and Shepherd's Bush ; of Messr Roy, Blunt,
Duncan and Johnston, solicitors, Liverpool-street, City, the Auc-
tion Mart, and at Mr. George Robins' Offices, in Covent-garden.

EXECUTION.

(From the Glasgow Chronicle of Wednesday.)
This morning the penalty of death was inflicted on the
criminal, William Perric, in front of the County Buildings,
Paisley, for the crime of murder. He was a tobacco-
spinner, and a native of Glasgow ; but he has resided in
Paisley for about ten years. He was about thirtpeight,
and lost his first wife, by whom he had five children, two
years since. About eight months before the commission of
the murder he was united to his second wife, Mary Mitchell,
a woman of a very light and profligate character, who had
been previously kept as mistress by a married man, by whom
she had two children. During his first marriage, Perrie
lived in a happy and tolerably harmonious manner with his
wife ; at least, though they had differences, these were never
serious. About five or six years back Perrie became seri-
ously and warmly attached to the principles and doctrines
of the Church of Scotland ; and from that time till about
twelve months back, when he became acquainted with Mit-
chell, his wife, he attended the High Church regularly, and
even had family worship in his own house for five years.
From the time he took up with Mitchell his habits changed.
He gave up attending church, and drank to a great extent,
a falling off which he seriously repented, and against which
he has earnestly cautioned all his relations and acquaint-
ances who visited him in prison. His continued adrift to
them all, anti, indeed, almost tho only thing he had to say
to them, was " to give up drinking, and to attend to the
kirk regularly."
The reader will be aware that it was in a fit of jealousy,
when, as he said himself, he had been taunted by his shop-
mates .about the conduct of his wife, that Perrie went
home to dinner, and without many words passing between
him and her he put his children out of the house, bolted
the door, and inflicted eight several wounds on the body
with a three-edged file, any one of which would have been
fatal. He was apprehended and committed to prison im-
mediately on the perpetration of the act. During his coo-
lfinement• and indeed from the very commission of the mur-

It is our painful duty to record another dreadful
case of hydrophobia, which terminated fatally at Saffron
Walden, on Wednesday last. The sufferer was an in-
dustrious man, named Lewis Warren, a lull-sticker, who
was bitten in the baud at Stebbing fair in July last, by a
lurcher dog, and unfortunately he took no medical advice
on the subject. Tho wound healed, and he enjoyed his
usual health ; but, on Saturday last, whilst pursuing his
avocation at Quendon, he was seized with a violent pain in
his chest, and was removed home. Oa Sunday morning
violent paroxysms came on, leaving no doubt as to the na-
ture of the attack. A general consultation of the medical
men in the town and neighbourhood was held, but the in-
sidious disease baffled their united efforts, and Warren ex-
pired in the most dreadful agonies on Wednesday last, at
his house in East-street,—Che/msford Chronicle,

_ .
Yesterday an elderly French lady and her nephew ap-
plied at this office for advice under the following circum-
stances :

The female, in broken English, stated as follows :.--Me
cum to dis countree from France on de treap o' plaisuare,
and when we arrive in de Londre me look for de logein for
de eight days, de time me vish to stay. Me foun de 'part-
along, and for to pay fifteen shilong de veek, and ven de
conclusiong arrive de lady—de landlord—makes me out o'
de bill for de two veek, and said de vast]. or de clean, de
broke glass, de vash stair and de room, de attendonzce and
de ceeveelities cost de double and much mor. Me sur-
proise, refuse to pay, and detain my ting vat vas besside de
furneesh logeing, and me vont de justeese.
Mr. BENNETT asked her whether she took the lodging
by the week ? Applicant—For de eight day, the time I
vas to stay.

Mr. BENNETT—The custom in this country is, to have
a week's notice, and a demand of an extra week can be
made if you do not stay.
Applicant—Me not know dat—me a stranger in dis
countree. Applicant (looking steadfastly at Mr. Bennett)
And is dat Anglais justeese, to pay for FgagajwitipAaiiiikitig
have ? Mr. Bennett replied that the parties were en
to make the claim.
Applicant (shrugging her shoulders)—Den me warrer
sooree me cum to de Londre at all. Me go back and not
cum again—it is first time—dey take de advantage of de
foreinaire. Me cum here for de plaisuare, and me meet
vid troble and disappointment all de vay I cum, and here
too. Me get on de vessale and me rob of de purse and de
20 sovereign. Ma pulled about and drag—me take de
lodging economic, and dey sheat and me not have de money
to pay but go to de French Ambassador to get de free pas-
sage back to Boulogne. Ido cum to Londre for de plea-
saire and de justeese.

Mr. BENNETT suggested that an officer might go and
reason with the landlady, which Bayliss did, but without
effect, and the applicant was compelled to accede to the
demand.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—Sarah Lee, a 'determined look-
ing woman, about 30 years of age, was placed at the bar
charged by James Kerr, 131, N division, with having as-
saulted him. The prisoner was also charged with a most
desperate attempt on her life, whilst in custody at the sta-
tion-house.
Kerr stated that, on Wednesday last, the prisoner was
creating a disturbance in Islington-road, when he took her
into custody, and she was locked up on his charge.
Serjeant Collins, of N division, stated that, after the
prisoner was locked up, she made several attempts to hang
herself, but was prevented by witness. She expressed
her determination to put her design into execution, and
he found it necessary to send to Mr. Ashley, the over-
seer, for a strait-waistcoat, which was put on the prisoner,
and she was again locked up, under the impression that it
would be impossible for her to do herself any injury. Dur-
ing the day, however, witness heard a gurgling noise, and
on proceeding to the cell he found the prisoner suspended
from an iron bar of one of the windows of the cell. She

had contrived to extricate herself from the waistcoat, by
tearing the breast part of it with her teeth, so that she was
enabled to release her arms. She then tore up the gar-
ment, and with the remnants suspended herself. Her feet
were eighteen inches from the ground. Witness cut her
down, when she was apparently dead. Medical aid was
procured, and she was restored to her senses.
Mr. Ashley, the overseer, stated that the prisoner was a
notorious and (I.2.iperate character, who had been frequently
charged at that office, and she was released from the House
of Correction on the same day that she was taken into
custody. Her two children were in the workhouse, and
her husband was in the Hospital, through her misconduct.
She had been relieved by the parish, but they were deter-
mined to have no more to do with her. Her settlement
was Shoreditch.

The prisoner affected to cry, and expressed her sorrow,
begging forgivenness, on account of her children.
Mr. BENNETT fined the prisoner 10s. for the assault, or
fourteen days' imprisonment.
Mary Ann Riordan was finally examined, charged with
having deserted her illegitimate child. The prisoner had
the child by a man named Flynn, residing in Clerkenwell,
and being unable to support it or herself she applied to him
for assistance, and being refused she left it at the door of
the house at which he worked. Flynn took it to Clerken-
well workhouse, where it was received until it was properly
removed to its legal settlement, St. Sepulchre, where it
was taken into the workhouse, and it bad been there about
three months until the apprehension of the prisoner on
Tuesday last.
Mr. BENNETT ordered that the child should be deli-
vered back to the prisoner, and on receiving it he informed
her that she was bound to protect her own child, and dis-
charged her with an advice not to be brought there again
under similar circumstances.
She fell upon her knees and thanked the parties, and
then quitted the office with the child.
