the end,-and won without difficulty, by a length.

It would appear :eenacre still persists in niaintainiac.
that the statement witch he last put forth is a true account of
the circumstances connected with the death of the uefar-
tunate deceased, "and he declares empliaticalay that tins wo.
man Gale was wholly unconEcious of the transaction. Duritnfe
the ts hole of yesti-rday he remained perfectly calm anti col-
lected. He wrote but little, and passed the greater part of
the day in reading and meditation. lie was visited in the course
of the morning by Mr. Price, the barrister, who acted as his
Counsel at the trial, and to that gentleman he banded a
written statement which he bad previously drawn up of the
facts and circumstances attending the death of the deceas..d,
with the view that the Learned Council should, on his behalf,
draw up a petition to the Secretary of State, in the hope
that a rev'sion of his -sentence may take place. it eppetes.
according to his statement, that after he struck the deceased
the blow on the cyc with the roller, which produced instaet
insensibility and stupor, lie paced up and down the room, not
knowing how to act .; and here it would be as well to observe,
that he persists in maintaining that be had no intention to kit
the deceased, hut that the blew- was struck without premedita-
tion, and that it
,Was a Swinging side blow, inflicted in the heat
of the moment, and not with malice or design. We undar-
stand, however, that one of the surgeons who had been exa-
mined on the trial Ls. given it as his opinion that nei-
ther the manner in which he states the blow to have
been struck,- nor the. weapon alleged to have been cm •
ployed, could have produced the description of wound
which the eye exhibited after death, and that abrasion
of the skin must have been produced had a wcoden roller
been the instrument used. The statement then goes on
to allege, that upon finding the deceased deprived of sense
and motion, and after turning in his mind several plans fur
the disposal of the remains, he proceeded at once with a com-
mon dinner-knife to cut up the body. He did not leave the
lions() for an hour, as we were given to understand he had
stated, but commenced the work of dissection while the body
of the unfortunate woman was yet warm. He did not, how-
ever, as stated in a morning paper, hold the neck of his victim
over a pail which was standing in the room, and " held her its
that • position until the blood had ceased to flow ;" neither is
it at all true, as stated in the same account, that he subse-
quently carried the head in a bag, and, placing it under his
arm, proceeded to the house of Mr. Davis, in 13artholomew-
close, to whose wife he stated that he had had some difference
with Mrs. Brown, and that the marriage was broken off.
According to his account, after he had cut her throat and
severed the head from the body, he wrapped it up in a silk
pocket-handkerchief, and then placed it in a canvass bag, but
he• was still undetermined as to how he should dispose of it,
but subsequently resolved to hide it in some distant place.
Ile accordingly icft the house, locking the door after him, and
walked to the Elephant and Castle, with the head under his
arm, wrapped tip in the manner described, and, proceeding in
an omnibus to the city, he was set down at the corner of
Gracechurch-street, whete he again entered a 'Mile-end em-
nibus, carrying the head in his lap all the way, to the end of
the journey, and having alighted, he walked to the Regent's-
canal, and then, uncovering the head, he "shot it into the
Stepney-lock." lie then returned to Carpenter's-buildings,
calling at the house of Mr. "Davis on his way back, and stating
what appeared upon- the trial, He slept in his house, he
said, that night ; and on the following morning he severed the
legs from the hody_with the same knife he had previously used,
and placed them in an osier-bed in Cold Harbour-lane, where
they were not discovered until the end of February followinea
lie then returned, and packing up the body in asack, carried
it on his back hp Carpenter's-buildings in the open daylight,
and seeing a man named Ward passing in a cart towards
town, he requested permission to put the sack into the cart,
which Ward acceded to, and the body was carried as far as
the Elephant and Castle. Here, however,- Ward stopped the
cart, and leaving him in charge of it, he went into a public-
house to get his dinner ; but, remaining absent for a long
time, he ( Greenacre) became alarmed, and calling a cab, lie
thrust the sack and its contents under the seat, and directed
the driver to proceed to the Edgeware-road, where he dis-
charged the cab within a short distance of the Pineapple-
gate, and carrying the sack with the body on his shoulder, he
placed it behind the stones where it was afterwards found, no
being near him mt the time. He then went on
to state, that be returned home and soaked up the blood
which had flowed on the floor with two pieces of flannel, which
he threw into the privy. He appeared not to be aware that
after his apprehension the contents of the privy had been care-
fully searched with another objcef, and the pieces of flannel
were not found. When made acquainted with this fact he ap-
peared to express great surprise, and said it was very extra-
ordinary, as he had certainly disposed of the blood and flannels
in that way. , •
There can be but little doubt, from his subseqiient attempt
at suicide, his avowed contempt of death, and the apparent ab-
sence from his mind of all moral and religious feeling, that, if
the opportunity were offered hint, he would willingly anti-
cipate his fate, and perform upon himself the duty of the exe-
tutioner. Under this apprehension he is closely watched by
two of the officers of the prison, and, besides this precaution,
a straight waistcoat is placed upon him every night before he
goes to bed. Mr. Cope, no doubt, considers that the ut-
most vigilance is necessary to prevent him from laying
violent hands upon himself, and it would appear that
he had some such deSign when he was first conveyed
to the • ward, where he still remains, by the close in-
spection which he made of it, and the manner in which he
fixed his eye upon some iron steps which were fixed in the
wall, and which, being observed by the Governor, were im-
mediately,removed. A well-meaning and pious gentleman,
who has been for some years in the habit of visiting capital
convicts in the prison, fur the purpose of affording them reli-
gious consolation, was desirous cf being admitted to him ;
but he peremptorily refused his offer, with some expressions
about " religious cant," which he said he had always despised.
To the visits of Mr. Cotton, the ordinary, he has expressed
no -decided objection, although he has been heard to declare
that the reverend gentleman might spare himself the trouble
of advice and admonition, for " he wanted no priest to tell
him how to die."

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

Greenacre, who is a man of very strong nerve, was as calm
all day, as if the trial had had a very different termination.
He spoke of the approach of death, as if it had nothing ter-
rible in it. He said he considered it to be a journey which
would prove, in all probability, less painful to him than the
change would be to thousands who would die between the
present moment and the •day of his execution ; and that in a
very few years every-breathing thing in the world would cease
to breathe and become a heap of dust. He made no observa-
tions upon the public form of the execution, nor at all alluded
to the.scon with which he expects to be hooted upon appear-
ing on the scaffold. Upon the subject of religion he has not
uttered a word. With respect to the violence by which the
death of Mrs. Brown was occasioned he is very communi-
cative, but he.has given different accounts of the transaction at
different times. .He positively denies that he struck hec with
the silk roller in his hand, but declares, that when she
told him she would not go to America with him, lie said,
" You won't, won't you? Take that," and flung the
roller at her head, which the instrument struck about the
eye, and almost immediately caused death. On that night
(Saturday) he cut off the head, and he paced up and.
down the floor in deliberation as to the course he should
pursue. He then burned the roller, and in about an hour arid
a half put the head into a canvas bag, and carried it as far as
the Elephant and Castle, where he got into an omnibus, end
was carried down to the Whitechapel-road. After baiting
disposed of the head as he thought safely, he returned home,
and slept in the house that night. Next morning he ,com-
meneed the business of cutting the body, in pieces, read be
laboured hard at That frightful job until dinner-time, when he
left the- business unfinished, and went to Gale's lodt:ings to
dine with her. On that night ( Sunday) he slept at. Gale's
lodgings, and he got up early on Monday morning and betook
himself to his house, and set to work to hack the remainder- of
the body ; after which he removed it completely, as was stated
on a former occasion.
