Exectritos."—This morning three unfortunate cri-
minals were executed opposite the Debtors' Duo,
Newgate. Their names were Elizabah Ftnnitg, a
servant-girl, for administering arsenic to her master
•and mistress in their fond ; 014sc d, fir a rapt; ;
and Abraham Adage:, for an unnatural crime. By an
early hour in the morning the Old Bailey was crow -,,.•d
to excess, chiefly with females, the emir of Elizab:t.i
Penning having excited considerable interest zrnong
those.ot her own sex. Elizabeth Yenning was :q-
-tended at an early hour by the Ordinary and two
other Gentlemen, whose endeavours were unceasr-v,'
in urging her to a confession of the crime for which
she was about to suffer; in however, they ci:.

direly failed. At six o'clock she had ascunied an ex-
traordinary uncnr.cerneciness re• petting th,.,.• awful f..ie
that awaited her ; she could scarcely be prevailed
on to reply to any questions put to her, and in ti;is
temper vf mind Ohe continued to the end. Jul be-
fore she ascended the scaffold, on the last effort t•eing
made to induce her to a confession, she thus exfres,,:d
herself—" I hope I may niker cuter ityc. Heaven if
I am not innocent ; and Gun will give proof of it
before the day is over."—On being further qua.
timed as to the nature of the proof to be expected,
and her certainty respecting it, she observed, in eqiii.
vocal terms, that she merely "hoped Goo w( nici."
She was dressed in a white hiuslia gown, with a white
satin hat ; her countenance was ot a pale white, and
by no means interesting.—A meeting was held ycs:er-
day at the Loan CHANCRLLOR's, to consider what
fresh matter her friends might have to bring tot-ward,
but the result of their deliberations was unfavourable
to' her. Oldtield was very penitent in his behavior,
and took no unall pains to induce the young woman
to participate in his happiness by, &Christian-like con.
fesston of her guilt. The other malefactoß who was
upwards ot seventy years of age, exhibited every
symptom ofieretnma and mental wretchedness.

ASSIZES.

~~

• LEWES, JULY 24.
The were twenty-seven causes entered Cis trial
on the Civil Side; but the C. (ninon Joey causes were
so wholly unimportant that they were all disposed of
before melee o'clock, and the Court adjourned, as
the Special Jurors were all engaged on the Grand
Jury. Afterwards, at rwo o'clock, a Special Ji,ry was
procured, and the cause of Lord SEWN v. Poww.
was called on. This was a question respecting the
right of tithing certain lands in this county. It was
tried at the last Assizes, and a new trial granted.—
The ground of defence was, tf. at the land in ques
Lion was not titheable, being newly reclaimed iron)
being barren land. The Jury, on the last trial, found
a verdict for the defendant ; 'but the present Jory,
which was a special one, found for the plaintiff—
Damages £5O, being the single value of the tithes
claimed, which will entitle the plaintiff to treble da-
Pages on taxation of costs.
Thomas Summers was indicted for bnrglarinusly
breaking and entering the dwelling house of the Rev.
William Keating, at Wing, in this county, and steal-
ing a variety of articles of plate, te.e.
Mrs. Keating stated, that on the 25th of March,
about ten o'clock, shortly after she was bed, she
heard a noise in the house like the wind finding its
way suddenly into the house. In the morning, it
was found that a window had been forced open, and
sweet al articles stolen
The constable proved. that in consequence of an
advertisement the things were traced as having been
sold to two Jew, at l'ortsmonth.. From them he got
a clue to apprehend the prisoner, whom ke found in
a day or two atterwards, and when he apprehended
him he found upon him some small gold seals, a
gold chain, and some broken iragments if silver.
These things being shown to v r.. KeAting, she
identified the seals and chain, and said she knew the
pieces of s'lv. r as belonging to a salver which she
lost the night the house was robbed.
The Jury found him Guilty—Death.
Jaulih Bad, James Kelso, and Peter Howell, were
arraigned on separate indictmerls, for forging and
tattering Dunk of England notes, at Bughtott. They
were also charred with having orged notes in their
possession. They pleaded guilty to the latter indict-
ments. No evidence was offered on the higher charges,
and the prisoners were sentenced to fourteen years
transportation.

NORFOLK., JULY IS.
Poisr,Nwo..—Liizabeth Woo&two stood capitally in.
dieted for the wil,ul murder of Benjamin Sparkes, a
child aged six years, by infusing into a cake, whereof
be eat, a quantity f arsenic, of which he died.—
There was a second count in the indictment, char-
ging the prisoner with haviiig made the said cake,
mixing therein a portion of the said deleterious in-
gredient, for the use of Mr. Tifford Clarke, of Ing-
ham, with intent to kill, &c.
The prisoner was the wife of a farmer, residing at
Sungay, and was also the mother of five children.
Mr. Clarke was her uncle, and being a wealthy man
without family, had some time since lent the pawner'
se2oo. At this time also it was intimated to her, that
at his decease she would become milled to a legacy
of £3OO. Shortly after she affected to airitice hyr Ara.
Otade by squint); repeated presents to Ler uncle.—
Among them several cakes, many of which, how.
evet, disaereciiig with the stom.ich of Mr. Clarke,
some of them making him absolutely sick, he at
length refused to accept any such c..kes in future.
Notwithstanding this, however, the prisoner, who
bad long bee -known to have purchased arsenic at
the house of Mr. Long, an apothecary at Bungay,
again made a similar man. about thel2d of June
last. The daughters of the prisoner, whose evidence
was admitted against her, deposed that they saw
their mother, on the day just stated; make a cake,
which she caused to be forwarded to her uncle, Mr.
Clarke, at she same time accompanying it with 'a
diameter of excellence. The present, however, he
refused to taste, for the reasons hitherto assigned.
It was, therefore; consigned to the disposal of an el-
derly woman, his housekeeper., and she not feeling
inclined to make use of it herself, bethought of the
• family of W. Sparkes, her son-in-law, father of the
deceased, and of four ether children. • The cake was
divided amongst them in proportionate parts by the
unwary mother. The deceased, her youngest child,
was the first who had eaten any considerable quart.
tity, aid the elder children having partook of a little,
one of them expressed a distaste of it, and the whole
• almost instantly were taken ill. The deceased, in
particular, exhibited dreadful symptoms of agony,
and complained of dreadful tortures in his stomach.
• In this way he continued lapguishing for'some time,
and baffling medical aid, until be expired.
The lives of the remaining part of this young fa.
=lily. by timely application, were happily preserved.
The surgeons who examined the body of the child
after its decease, and who extracted from 11-. e stomach
a part of the cake, proved that it contained a suffi-
cient quantity of arsenic to' occasion death. That
part of the cake also which had not been used was
analyzed, and found also to be mixed with a large
quantity of that deadly ingredient.
The prisoner, in her defence, protested het inno-
cence in the most solemn manner, and in a fit orde-
:pair, at one time attempted to fix the foul crime
upon her own daughter, an interesting girl of 14.
The Jury, after a short consideration, found the
prisoner guilty. , •
The Learned Judge, Lord Chief Justice Gins,
immediately proceeded to pass upon her the awful
sentence of the law, which was, that she should be
executed on Monday, at Ipswich, in the usual form.
The wretched woman, upon hearing her sentence,
as well as throughout the whole of the proceedings,
evinced a total want of feeling. She preserved the
same firmness on her wag from Beccles Gaol to the
place of execution, where she underwent the dreadful
sentence of the law, in presence of one of the greatest
crowd of spectators ever witnessed At such a scene at
• Ipswich.

about two o'clock, she lost her infant boy. about three
years of ale, who had strayed away, as she suppoied,

number of streets in the neighbourhood in pursuit of
'her child, when, after some time, she found him in the
possession of Mr. Daley, a silk dyer, in Dean-street,
Holborn, who had stopped the prisoner with him in
her arms, mho, from suspicious circumstances, he sup-
posed had stolen the child. The prisoner, in her de-

last night. occasioned by some enquiry atter a watch
vybi..h had been forcibly tale-to tram one of the v.s.-
tors of the prison. Tee strong railing from the top
to the bottom of one of me stair cases was quickly
forced up. and supplied abn-ve 50 hare of iron for
weapons for prisoners. who threatened instant destruc-
tion to ail wh.. opposed them. By the timely arrival
of the Lotto Mayon, the Marshals, :and the constables,
the ringleaders were secured, and peace at length re-
stored : a corporal's guard was sent for frum the
head-quarters f,t the Loudon Militia, and was expec-
ted to remain in N. wirate during the night.
HoitRID MUnDs.c.—A man of the name of• Ica..
reavy, a prosecutor at the Longford Assizes, who
had been en the evening of Monday, the 10th inst.
sent to Lord Forhes's for greater security, was. on his
way into the town on Tuesday, carried off by some
pea sons lIV knowts4 and not appearing as expected, the
trial in which he was concerned was put off. On
Friday I.s be was found murdered in a most shock.
ing man ter on the lanais of Augliamnre, his head

ImaresTs. —Yesterday an laciest was held at the
Jolly Gardeners. at Lambeth, on the body of R.
Cliff 'rd. whose death was occasioned by a blow he
received from J. Goodland, a butcher, while they
were drinkin4 at the above house. J. Winrose, the
waiter, and .1. Mellish and W. Elson, who were in
company at the time, stated. that some of them tossed
up for a quartern of rum ; when some dispute toot
place. And the deceased called Elson a liar. Good-
land said-0 It you were to use these words to me, I
would knock you down." The deceased said—o, I
do call you a d—d liar;" when Goodland struck
him with his fis: in the lett side, and the deceased fell
backwards speechless. Goodland said he was only
' in liquor, and shook h:m ; and afterwards. with the.
assistance of the witnesses, the deceased was take
home, and lie shortly afterwards expired. Mr. W.
Thr mpson, a surgeon, attempted to bleed him but to.
no purpose ; he opened the body, and found an
effusion of blood, of about Pout pints, in the cavity of
the abdomen. The Jury returned a verdict of Man-
slaughter, and the prisoner was committed for trial.
There was a second Inquest held, on the body of
'T. H. Jeron, three years of age, who was poisoireq..
on Saturday night, by drinking some spirits of salts.
The parents of the child lived at No. 13, Barfield-
row. On Saturday night his mother had some
spirits of salt in a tea-cup en the table, to take some i
iron-moulds out of linen, when the child, unpereeived,
laid hold of the tea-cup, drank off the contents, and,
died in excruciating pain, about two hours afterwards.
Verdict—Accidental Death.
FATAL AcabirsiT—lt appeared by the evidence be-
fore the Coroner, that the accident which took place
with the Defiance Birmingham coach, arose solely
from the misconduct of Gough, the coachman, who,
by his furious driving, lost the command.of his horses
in descending BrickAiln hill, between Hinckley and
Earl Shilton, when the coach was thrown against the
toll gate at Burbage Common with such violence as
literally to dash it to pieces. Gough and Miss Page
were instantly killed, and Smith, a gentleman's ser-
i vent, died shortly after. Mary Storer, of Hinckley,
an inside passenger, had her collar-bone brokeb, and
an outside- passenger, of the name of Bishpp,
a straw-hat manufacturer. of Leicester, had his arm
and thigh broken, and was otherwise dreadfully hurt,
but is still alive ; some of the other passengers were
seriously injured.—Verdict-4. Occasioned the fu.
Fr
riots: driving of Me Coackmas."—Deodan stso.---
The death of a man who was riding on the shafts of
his cart, near the scene of the melancholy event, was
occasioned by his horse taking fright at the vast con-
course of people flocking to the place where the acci-
dent occurred.
Some iderof the extent of emigration from Ireland
may be formed from the following extract of a pd.
vate letter, dated St. John's, Newfoundland, 23d of
last month t—ii The arrivals from Ireland have ex-
ceeded any in the Custom-house books ; exclusive of
three vessels which have made no return. are 3,026
men and 573 a omen to this harbour al-one'; but the
numbers far exceed the returns the Captains having
brought out so many they are ashamed to return
them. The wretched creatures are IWiplt dreadfully
treated on the passage, one man, declared to Me, he
was but • three nights below decks the entire of the
voyage, nor could be get down. &range complaints
have been made by a set of wretches who came yes-
terday, of the very nearly starving condition Ley
were in ; indeed Government must put a stop to such
proceedings.oe really a conqtgion will be heed in our
streets, and what will become of them in winter GOD
only knows."
