THE EXECUTION.

The last dreadful sentence of the law was carried into
effect on the top of Wilton gaol, near Taunton. The
time appointed for the execution was eleven o'clock, but
such was the anxiety to witness the death of this noto-
rious murderess, that long before that hour thousands of
people were congregated in front of the prison.
The wretched culprit retired to rest at twelve o'clock ,
last night, up to which hour the chaplain was in attend-
ance upon her. She slept soundly till six this morning,
when she got up and ate a hearty breakfast. She was
visited early by the chaplain, the Under-Sheriff, and the
Governor, and again strongly protested her innocence,
saying that she bought the poison for herself, and that
her brother John took it from her bag and gave it to
her mother and brother. When entreated by the
Under-Sheriff, about ten o'clock this morning, to tell
the truth, she very snappishly told him not to press her
with any further questions on the subject. Shortly after
ten she attended the chapel, and partook of the Sacra-
ment. At the conclusion of the service she was con-
ducted to the press-room, where preparations were made
for her execution. Shortly before eleven she appeared
on the scaffold; she joined in the prayers, and again
protested her innocence. In a few minutes the fatal
noose was adjusted, and she was launched into eternity.
After hanging the usual time the body was cutdown and
buried in the precincts of the prison.
