EX ECUTIQN
OP JOSE DOLORES BONILLA, FOR THE MURDER
OF MR. O'REILLY,
ins MAJESTY'S CONSUL AT GUATEMALA.

In our former numbers we gave an idea of the atro-
cious crime which occupied public attention, whets
speaking of the assassination committed on the person.
of Mr. John O'Reilly, his Britannic Majesty's Consul.
We related that Judge Manoel Betita was commis•'
sioned to bring the inquiry to the speediest issue ; and
after complying with the forms requ red bylaw, the
unhappy criminal was condemned to the pain of death,'
from which sentence he appealed to the Chamber of
Second Instance. •

Bonilla was fully convicted of the assassination 'and
robbery ; and the Judge of the First Instance, taking
into account the enormity and atrocity which constitute
the first crime, and show the premeditation with which
it was executed, and the previous measures and sub-
sequent precautions that characterised it, considered
that, to commit the second crime, he bloke open the
trunks and locks; that both acts have violently ex-
cited publie.indignation ; and, considering the seined..
law, 21st title, 12th Book of the latest summary, it.
Doctrine of Guittierez—a writer on criminal lap
and the enactments of the fifteenth 'Article of the law
of September 11. 1820; and holding that the effect
of punishment is the more certain in the same pro-
portion as the application is more prompt • and'
that the delinquency of Bonilla is aggravated .6y the
violation of domestic confidence, by reason of which
it is become necessary to add to the actual punish.'
ment—circumstances that might perpetuate the me•
mory thereof in the most appropriate manner, according
to the advice of the Jo' isconsult Bentham—he said
that, under the I,t and 2d articles of the Constitution,.
and the injunction of the law, title Bth, part 7111....66 He
ought to condemn, and did condemn the culprit, Jose
Dolores Bonilla, to suffer death, which should be -ex-
ecuted by the baiter, in front of the very house where
the crime was committed; and ordered, atter the eleco.l
tion of this punishment, that the head should be cut off
frohs the Irscly, and fixed on a lance, with'the inscripa
Tien of—,Justice lor the atrocious assassination of his
Britannic Majesty's Consul ; which lance is to be fixed_
on a sent: y box.
This sentence being pronounced on the 11th instant,
the culprit appealed to the Court of Second Instance,
which, after bearing his Counsel and the fiscal, confirmed'
the same. In observance of the law of the 9,h October,
1812, which is still in force, the execution vests carried'
into effect, and the prisoner put in capilla on the 19th
instant. After having received spiritual comforts, the'
Judge of the First Instance caused him to be conducted,
on the 21st, to the place of execution—where he was
shot, because the proper instruments of execution could
not be procured with requisite speed. For the remainder
the tenour of the sentence was duly fulfilled.

CHILD Srorms.—Sunday morning. between nine and
ten o'clock, a little boy named Thomas, three years old,
was stolen froth his parents, residing in George place, .
Vincent-street, Regent-street, Westminster.
A distressing accident occurred this morning at the
Sauey side of Westminster Bridge. by the upsetting of.
a small chaise-can, which contained between nine and
' ten persons, returning from Greenwich. The portico-,
lan of the accident are as follows :—the horse, in a very
jaded state, halted and refused to proceed, when the
man having charge of the animal proceeded to beat it
.in a dreadful manner: the horse became violent, and
suddenly plunged and kicked in such a manner that .
the cart upset, and the horse, still struggling to extri-
cate himself, unfortunately kicked several persons in
the cart l and when the animal was at length secured,
it was found that four of the persons were neatly lifeless
from the injuries received. Two of them were women ;
one bad her scull fractured, and the scalp over the Itit
side of the head torn in a shockihg manner. The other
'appeared to have bad her neck dislocated. The iniu-
ries of the other persons were considerable. They were
all removed to the Hoipital, and the driver of the cart
was taken into custody and lodged in.the watch house,
and his horse and shattered cart placed in the Green....
yard. It mar be proper to say, that nearly the whole
of the' party were intoxicated, and were singing a short
time before the accident happened.
