EXECUTION AT CARLISLE.

On Saturday, at 12 o'clock, Wm. Charlton was
executed at Carlisle Gaol. The culprit, it will be
remembered, was found guilty of the murder of Jane
Emmerson, an old woman, who kept the gate at the
Dutran-hill crossing of the Newcastle and Carlisle
Railway, on the 21st of November last. There was
but little apparent cause for the murder, as the
woman was poor, and from the fact of her
being aged other reasons did not exist; but the
most fearful part of the etory was the endeavour
made by the prisoner to affix the guilt of the crime
upon his brother-in-law, who, however, proved a
clear alibi, and circumstantial evidence was adduced
positively criminating the culprit, who was, how-
ever, recommended to mercy. An application for a
respite having been forwarded to the Home Secre-
tary, the right honourable gentleman did not see
any grounds for the extension of the mercy of the
Crown, it being generally understood that the at-
tempt to affix the crime on another more than an-
nulled the recommendation of the jury to mercy.
Since the culprit's condemnation he has been con-
stantly visited by his wife, and has evinced some
degree of contrition. In the early part of the week
a letter was found on the prisoner's wife, in which
she implored her husband not to confess that he had
committed the crime, for the sake of the children.
The chaplain, the Rev. J. F. Simpson, was unre-
mitting in his endeavours to bring the unhappy
man to a due sense of his fate, and he exhibited
signs of repentance. The under sheriff was in at-
tendance shortly before 12, and accompanied by the
jail officials, proceeded to the cell of the culprit. Cal:
craft, the executioner, having completed his allotted
task, the prison bell tolled, and the scaffold was
soon reached. The few brief moments of existence
left to the wretched man were spent in earnest
prayer, in the midst of which the bolt was with-
drawn. There was an immense crowd, consisting,
as usual, chiefly of women and children.
