'llU* Jaiftell urner wts brought
to the Office by Humphreys and Cave, charged with
lobbing a house in Queen-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields.
Humphreys took a boy, who could identify the pri-,
sorter, to a house resorted to by thieves, on Tuesday
evening ; but the boy was afraid to speak. Hum-
phreys and Cave went yesterday morning to his lodg-
tngs in Charles-street, Ilrury-Line, before he was up :
he made his escape out of a window, but was secured
on his descent.—He was committed for further exa-
mination.

inf4rmition, charging him with having exposed to

92 ozs. ; and, it being his second offence, was fined
ss. per ounce, amounting, with 10s. costs, to £23. 10s.
Another Baker was fined £l9. 10s. being at the rate
of 2s. 6d. per ounce (it being his first offence), for
152 ozs. deficient, in several loaves exposed to sale.

Tuesday se'nnight was committed to Gloucester
county gaol, Luke Heigh, suspected of having, on the
22d of June, 1800, murdered Sarah Harris, of Cow-
Honeyborne, in that county. The circumstances of
this murder, and the apprehension of Heath at so re-
mote a period, are as follow :—The body of Sarah
Harris, who was six months advanced in pregnancy
by Heath, was found dead in a pond of water, with
several wounds on the head, which, it appeared from
the evidence on the Coroner's Inquest, had been in-
flicted with a dung-fork; and marks of blood were
traced the whole way from her father's house to the
horse-pool. No positive proof of Heath's guilt, how-
ever, having been adduced at the time, the Jury re-
turned a verdict of 66 Wilful Murder against some
persons unknown ;" and he was consequently set at
liberty. But his sudden flight from that part of the
country, and other strong circumstances, rekindling
suspicion against him, a reward was offered for his
apprehension ; and it is not a little remarkable, that
the constable by whom Heath has now been recog-
nised, and who was the person employed to go in
pursuit of him at the period of his absconding, met
and secured him on the turnpike-road, whilst con-
veying two prisoners from Kidderminster to Wor-
cester gaol.
EDITH MORREY.—Further particulars of the exe-
cution of this wretched woman :—On Friday mor
ning last, at twelve o'clock, she was delivered by
Mr. Hudson, Constable of the Castle of Chester, into
the hands of Messrs. Thomas and Bennet, the City
Sheriffs, for execution. She walked from the Castle
to Glover's Stone, having hold of Mr. Hudson's arm,
with the utmost firmness, amidst an unusaal pressure
from the immense crowd assembled ; she then got
into the cart, and immediately laid herself down on
one side, concealing her face with her handkerchief,
which she has invariably done when in public, from
her first appearance before the Judges to her final dis-
solution. Upon her arrival at the City Gaol, she
continued in prayer till one o'clock, when she ascen-
ded the scaffold with a firm and undaunted step,
with her face covered with a handkerchief; and she
immediately turned her back to the populace. After
continuing in prayer a short time, the clergyman
withdrew, and the executioner prepared to finish the
awful sentence of the law. At this period, when
the clergyman had recommended her to dismiss all
worldly thoughts, and fix her whole soul on her Re-
am:mut, through whom alone she could hope for
mercy, she twice called for the turnkey (John Robin-
son), to bid him farewell ; he came at the second
call, and, having taken leave of her, she remained
about half a minute, when she dropped the handker-
chief, and was immediately launched into eternity.—
She was very much convulsed for four minutes, when
her pangs ceased. After hanging the usual time, her
body was delivered to the surgeons for dissection, and
was open to public inspection during all Saturday.—
There appeared an apathy in this woman which is
truly astonishing. When the Judges came into town,
she asked permission to go on the terrace of the Castle
to see the procession, though she knew their coming
was the signal of her fate. On the morning the Rev.
Mr. Fish preached what is usually denominated the
condemned sermon, she was suffused in tears, and her
convulsive sobs were heard throughout the chapel ;
Jet, an hour after, the impression seemed entirely
erased. She slept very sound the night previous to
the execution, and ate a hearty breakfast upon her
awaking. It is worthy of remark, that, on the 23d
day of April, 170, one Mary Heale, was strangled
and burnt to ashes in Chester City, for poisoning her
husband--exactly 50 years, t the day and year, when
Edith Morrey was executed.
Tuesday, pursuant to his sentence at the last West-
minster Sessions, W. William: was tied to the cart's
tail, and whipped from Parliament-street to Charing-
cross, for having forged and sold a duplicate of a
watch, purporting to be pawned for £l.
