EXECUTION for MURDER. at BOMBAY.

On the 20th of October, Andrew Reagan was
executed pursuant to sentence passed by the Record on Satur-
day the 13th, for the wilful murder of a poor man in a pagoda
at Poonah. The circumstances of the case are the following :
On the evening of the 20th of August last, several poor people,
who were travelling to the city of Poonah, took up their quar-
ters for the night in a pagoda, which stands near the high wi y,
about two miles from the city, and about three quarters of
a mile from the cantonements of the horse artillery and 47th
regiment. About ten o'clock they were awoke by a great not e
in the pagoda, occasioned by t' entrance of two or three sol-
diers, who began to strip them of their clothes, and to demand
money, threatening to shoot them if they did not comply.
Amongst those who had taken up their quarters in the pagoda,
there was a poor man, who with his wife hid in an inner
apartment; the soldiers, after taking away their clothe', laid
hold of the woman, when the husband said to them, " after
taking away our clothes, are you going to take my wie also ?"
upon this one of the soldiers snapped a pistol at him twice. and
finding it would not go off, he borrowed another pistol from
one of his companions, loaded it, and deliberately shot the poor
unresisting man through the heart. When her husband fell,
the woman seized the murderer by the sleeve of his shirt, and
held him until his repeated blows, and threats of inurdain
her also, obliged her to desist, and they all made their escape.—.
Up to the last moment lie persisted in his innocence, and ee-
claret! that Young, one of his associates, was the man v
committed the murder. He' proceeded to the pla,T of ex( cu •
cution with a sullen indifference, and appeared altogether in-
sensible to the humane endeavours of Mr. Davis to turn Ma
attention to prayer.—( Bombay Courier, Oct. 2.5.)
