EXECUTION.—On Saturday morning the execution
of Charles Batty, who was convicted of wounding Elizabeth
Brown, at Sheffield, with intent to murder her, took place at
York Castle. As soon as the Jury found the prisoner guilty,
the Learned Judge passed sentence of death, in which he held
out no hopes of mercy ; but since that time expectations had
been entertained that the unfortunate culprit would be re-
prieved. Since his condemnation, his conduct has been be-
coming his situation. When the culprit appeared on the scaf-
fold, he seemed firm, but resigned to his fate; and after being
engaged a short time in devotional exercise, he gave himself
up to the hands of the executioner, and in a few seconds had
ceased to exist.
