EXECUTION OF THE AYLESBURY
MURDERER.

The execution of William Mobbs, for the murder of a
boy called Newbury, at Linford, took place yesterday
morning within the walls of the Aylesbury prison.
The culprit was penitent at the last, and died
almost without a struggle. He made a full con-
fession of the murder, stating that he had seen a
picture of Baker murdering the little girl at a shop
window at Alton, and had since continually dreamed of
that tragedy. He also said that while he was sitting by
the side of the little boy Newbury a sudden thought came
into his head that he should like to kill him, and he could
not resist the impulse. He asked the poor little fellow,
who was not quite ten years of age, what he thought
would be done to him if he should kill him. Newbury said
that he would be sure to be hanged, and upon that he
caught hold of him, pulled his knife out of hs pocket, and
stabbed him in the throat, afterwards making more gashes
in it. Mobbs, who was not quite 20 years of age, was
evidently of a very low type of humanity. He had a
short, narrow forehead and small head, and great
thickness round the base of the skull. His
hair was very thick, straight, and stiff, and pro-
jected over the forehead, like the thatch of a house,
He was given to reading much more than is the custom
among agricultural labourers, and accounts of murders
seem to have been his favourite kind of reading. When
apprehended after committing the murder, a r Life of
Abel," translated from the German, was found in his
pocket, and this his friends say he was particularly partial
to reading in most of his spare time.

The Red River New ation of Feb. 25, says the
late threatening movement of the English settlers for the
release of the Canadian prisoners at Fort Garry has
subsided. President Riel, to prevent bloodshed, released
all the prisoners ; whereupon the English force, number-
ing six hundred men, well organized and armed, disbanded
and returned to their homes.
The name of the Marquis of Iluntly has been
added to the Commission of the Peace for the county of
Huntingdon by the Earl of Sandwich, Lord Lieutenant;
and the name of Mr. W. H. Cooke, the County Court
Judge, whose conduct in connection with the Beverley,
election bribery has been called in question in the House
of Commons, has been added to the Commission of the
Peace for Nprfolk4
