EXECUTION -OF WILLIAM ,SAWYER,

Fat THE

MURDER OP BARRIO GASKILL IN PORTUGAL.

On the arrival of the Judges at the Ohl Bailey
ott Wednesday last, they intimated that on Fri•
day they Would deliver their judgment. This was
a. sufficient omen that it was against the prisoner.
The law directs that persons convicted cif murder
shall be executed within 48 hours after judgment
is pronounced, and they are usually tried un Friday,
because the limited time expiring on Sunday, lila
execution is necessarily deferred, and the delin-.
(pent .has an additional day fur preparation and
devotion. The prisoner's friends anticipating an
unfavourable result, on account of the day ap-
pointed to deliver the op nion, prepared petitions
to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent anti
Lord Sidmouth, which were strongly recommend.
Cdby the Jury, and many other persons, and Mr.
Newman went personally to the Secretary of State,
when he learned that no hope of mercy was to be
entertained.

The prisoner bore with composure Mr:New.
Nimes information as to the certainty of his fate,
and appeared perfectly resigned, saying, he only
felt regret at the distress which his ignominious
death Would occasion to his respectable relations,
and expressed a hope that his body might be de-
livered to his friends, which might .attord-tbeta
some consolation.

A second application, we understand, was trutde
yesterday afternoon, for• a reinission of that.purt
of the sentence which consigns his body to the
surgeons for dissection, but it was equally uusuc.
cessful, the Executive not thinking it consis►ent
with their chity to advise that the force of the aw-
ful example should
.be weakened by,taking away
Any of . the terrors of a punishmemt fur• the
of murder.

This morning, at an. early hour, every avenue
and- street '+vithin view; of the Old Bailey was tillect
With spectators to witness the execution of tnis
wretched man. He was with difficulty conducted
on the scaffold by the Executioner and his Assis-
tont, 'at eight o'clock, and appeared extremely de-
jected, and such was his situation, that he was
scarcely able to stand whilst the .Etcutioner ad-
justd the • fatal rope. After performing that
dreadful - office, he retired and left the unhappy
sufferer with the Ordinary of Newgate, who pray-
ed_ with hint fora few minutes. During the short
period that he was
.on the scaffold, he excited
very considerable degree of commiseration in the.
crowd ; and having remained the time allowed
him, he was then launched into eternity, and ap-
peared to die without a struggle. He was de-
cently dressed in a new suit of mouraing, and
wore Hessian boots.
