THE WOMAN LATELY EXECUTED

AT BRISTOL..

Airs. Burdock, the woman executed last week at Bristol,
for poisoning, was born near Ross. Her relations subse-
quently removed to Kentchurch, on the borders of Here-
ford and Monmouth. At the age of 19 she came to
Bristol to look for service, when she was hired as house"
servant in the family of Mr. Plumley, poulterer, Nicholas-
street, where she lived a year and a half, and where she se
misconducted herself, by pilfering and other improper acts,
that she was suddenly discharged. Her conduct was s 0
reprehensible that her master refused to give her a chs-
racter ; for which she employed a solicitor to bring an
tion, and and laid her damages at 501. All parties prepared to
go to Taunton, where the action was to be tried, but the
day before the assize her solicitor sent word that the
plaintiff was missing. Between the time of bringing th,,e.
action and the day of trial she married, or said she w. 7,
married, to a man of the name of Agar, a tailor, iltu
whom she lived but a very short time, for soon after
she was residing in the Ho:se-fair with a man of the na,lllee
of Thomas, a gentleman's servant, who had a wile
living at the time : by this man she has a son, ne,!v
tooe
living, about 15 years of age. Subsequently 1
she formed a connexion with Wade, to whom she 1
not married. Wade kept a clothes-shop on the Quay,ne_
was steward to a steam-packet ; he also kept lodgido
houses in different parts of the city, ultimately
Trinity. street, where the lamentable crime was committee
After Wade's death she married the husband whose natee
she bears. He had been to America, and having tekeeeed
lodgings at the last-mentioned house, became aeclueif'b
with the widow, who, in reply to an intention expressed
oe
him of returning to America, suggested that by a mars' de,
with her he might be enabled to carry on the clothes trail
to which he had been accustomed. At this time she beof
become possessed of Mrs. Smith's money, a great pi iart e
which was paid to clothiers in exchange for goods. fitly
however, her career was arrested ; the sudden and
concealed death of Mrs. Smith, and the abstraction of bet
property, led to many inquiries ; the girl (Mary A°° is
len) was traced out, and her information of various circa
s_
stances which have been elicited on the trial led to theiirs.
