EXECUTION OF WILLIAM HUBBARD AT LEICESTER.
—This unfortunate man, who was convicted at the Leicester assizes.
for the merrier of his wife, expiated his offence in front of the county
Bridewell, at Leicester, on Wednesdny morning. After his convie-
tion he behaved with great indifference as to his fate, until Saturday,
when, by some means, he obtained a brick from the tire-place, and
made an attempt to strike the police-constable, Bassford, who was
attendant upon him. Fortunately, however, his deadly purpose was
intercepted, and lie was prevented adding another crime to that fer
which he Was so shortly to suffer. Ile was then handcuffed to pre-
vent him doing further mischief; and this appears to have irritated

Rev. Mr. Backer was in attendance upon him at an early hour on
Wednesday morning, end endeavoured to bring him to a sense of his
awful situation, but he appeared determined to resist to the last ;
and as he was led from his cBll to the drop, whilst the rev. chaplain
was reading the funeral service, he gave utterance to an expression
showing his disapprobation of that part of the ceremony. He then
ascended the drop, which was at a considerable elevation ; the rope
was attached to the beam, and in less than a minute he was launched.
into eternity, the only remark he made being addressed to those
around .him. He said, " Gentlemen, I have had an unfair trial and
an unjust sentence," which lie repeated twice. He died almost
without a struggle. Every avenue Which commanded a view of the
drop was densely crowded ; and even the tops of the houses were
covered with people, many of whom had travelled twenty or thirty
miles during the night to witness the execution.
