EXECUTION OF WILLIAM JENNINCiS.

This youthfol culprit, only 17 years of age. paid th
penalty of the law at Appleby on Monday last, 'saving
been convicted at the late Assizes of a mo t aggravated
rape on Agnes Cortithwaite. The crowd as•emblyd t
see him suffer was immense, as inch melancholy scenes
are very rare in Westmoreland. A try op of the West-
moreland cavalry was in attendance, as were also pa: t
of the Staff of the Westmoreland militia. In his pro
gress horn the gaol to the fatal spot, the unfortunate•
young man ate two or three oranges. When the vehicle
had reached the gallows he stood up and fell down in
the cart; and when the cart was turned to the platform
he repeatedly cried, " Don't hurt me; let me go; Oh
forgive me!" The officers had to lift him from the cart
to the platform, and after some time spent in prayer the
rope was adjusted—the drop fell, and the world closed
upon him for ever. His sufferings were brief, and hi•
.body, after hanging the usual time, cut down. and given
to his friends, who conveyed it t* Kendal.

FIRE IN CAMBERWELL.
INQUEST ON THE BODIF.S.
Saturday an *nest wss held before Mr CARTAR,
Coroner, at the Sun and Dove, Camberwell,
tin the
remains of the udfortunate individuals vlio lost their
lives in the above firs.

- The first witness examined was Charles Drewrey, a
lad sixteen years of age. He said he was apptentice
to Mr. Worger, sh• emak•r, who reirleri in one of the
hr-uses that was burnt, and where the fire WAS 5111,
posed to hare originated. About h elf past ten o'clock
on the night of Thursday, him•elf and two other ap•
prentiCes went to bell, le lying their master up in
the parlour taking his supper ; his master's wile and'
family were in the country, and had been from home
three days. Two persons, named Scott and Connell,
mother and son, lodged in the first floor, and they had
not gone to bed at the time tha. Jaime.' and the other
apprentices went up to their room; about halipast trio
in the morning witness was awoke by a loud crackling
noise, and the room was full of smoke; he go: up and
opened the room door, and saw the fl.mes procesdirs
up the ►tairs ; he then called up his fellow apprentices,
and at the same moment he heard his master call in
Mrs. Scott; he then opened ill,: window, and gave the
alarm of fire, and witness and his fellow apprentice.
got out of the window• ; one r f them jumped down
into the road and hurt his back, and was or consequence
'confined to his bed. Mr. Worger lifted Mr. Scott,
who is far adunced in years, out of the s indow,
and her son also made his escape; Mrs. Worger re-
turned home on Friday. When witness got into Ile
street, both Mr.Woi ger's and Mr. Bailey's house. which
adjoins, awned to be on fire, and it was then in vi-
sible to say which house had first taken fi,e; Mts.
Scott's room is next to the foot of the stairs, arid the
fi►e, ii witness's opinion, proceeded fr.m that apart.
nsent. Mrs. Worger left her house with het si-t,r, and
did not take any furniture with her, nor was any re-
moved previous to the Ve.

William Connell, the person mentioned in the pre-
ceding evidence, said that on Thursday night he sat
up till about one o'clock writing, but carefully put nut
the fire, and threw water over it before he west t • bed;
in his mother's room,.adjoitting, these was tio fife; he
was awoke about titre
.iklock in t 1 e morning,
by Mr.Worger knoclong at the witness% door and call-
ing 6.-Fite !" Witness immediately t I.e and went to
the door, with the idea of sabinA his mother ; a dense
sinoke came up stairs, and.nearly suffocated him in at-
tempting to force into his m -that's room, and he was
obligesi•to retreat into his own room ; I e al.o heal J a
loud et acclir,g noise, retembling the biaritin„: of wood,
tit the lower put of the house, but owing to ihe puce-
liar consttuction of Mr. Winger and Mr. B
houser,witnesswas una .le to say from whichhome the
cracking noise proceed. d. 'My n.other, s sid wane's.
was uppermost in my mind; I op- ed the dont to
make another a.tempt to save her, aid then I saw the
fl sines rushing up the stairs, and they eote•ed the
worn. I crawled on my' hands and knees ti the
winchw, and t: rew myself out. A watchman eaugl t
me in his arms; I en 'esvoured to bleak from him to
get to the back part of the hou.e, but t e watchman,;
ob.erving my agitation, w.old no: peimit me. I then
saw Mr. Worger, ant inqa•red lisr my mother, and be
said she wa- s.fe. Mr. Worger a: that to, e had all his
clothes on except his coat. The witness adder', that be
had lost every thing be had.
John Worger was next examined—He said he went
to bed at half past ten o'clock en T:.ursday nght,
having previously ca:efuLly put out the fire About
three I e was awoke by a crackling no se and dense
smoke; the witness's boom and that occupied by
Mr. Bailey are divided only by a thin 1..11) and
plaster pa: tition, and w itness was thereto. r t. tally
unable to state in which house the fi•e tr ginated.
The moment he awoke he slipped on a few clothes, gave the al .rin
of Ere, and bast. tied us Mrs. Scint's room, and-got her out of the
window. She was upwards tit eighty years ot age, and ei as un-
able to get out without assistance. lie afterwards assisted iu
getting she lads rut of the house. The two houses were in a abort
time in one blaze. ASout eight in the evening of Thursday be
took home some goods, and about nine, when the boys took some
supper, be went into a small cellar and drew, about a pint of elder
wine; he went into the cellar with a candle, but there was no
straw in the pl.ice, and he was c ireful that an accident slid not
occur; he was insured to the amount of 3001. and had continued.
the same policy for about iii years; he was the first p. nun to islarns
Mr. Halley s family.
Richard Monday, a watchman, said, that about three o'clock in
the morning be was alarmed by the cry of •1 Fire I" which was
raised by one of Mr Worger's apprentices ; he alarmed the neigh.
'hours, *ad obtained the engines. The flames, be thought, pro.
eteded first from the lower part of Mr. Worger's h.ore. but they
instantly communicated to Mr. Bailey's premises. Several men
endeavoured to rouse Mr. Bailey's family while witness went for
the engine; the bodies were taken out ot the ruins before nine
o'clock ; be did not know how the fire originated.
Benjamin Phillips, a patrol, said, that when the alarm was giver,
lie hastened to the spot, and burst open the door of Mr. Bailey's
house; Mr. Bailey then rushed out of the house. ci ping out, " Oh
my children—my children ;" Mrs ll.was behind him ; witness went
up stairs, and calked out to the children to come down to him ; he
was unable to proceed in consequence of the smoke, which nearly
suffocated him; be heard-the children cough, and they said some-
thing; they were unable to come to witness, and he was unable to
get to them. Mr. Bailey ascended the stairs, and endeavoured to
reach their apartment, but the smoke overpowered Min, and he
would have fallen if witness had not caught him in his arms;
witness made another attempt to save the children, but the flames
rose up around him, and be was obliged to retreat. Wiso wit-
ness first entered the premises, the firs seemed to proceed from
ender the stairs on the ground-fluor of Mr. Worger'i house, but
haw it originated he could mat state. Mr. Bailey seemed also
greatly distressed op account of Mrs. Ashcroft, whom he said was
on the premises, but witness did not see or hear her in the house.
John Heath, beadle. of Camberwell, said he went to the fire
about four o'clock in the morning; he assisted in extinguishing
the flames and protecting property, and remained there till the
bodies were found; the first body that was found was the female.
the others were found soou after, but they were so disfigured and
burnt that they could scarcely be distinguished.
This being the whole of the evidence,
The Co briefly summed up the case, and observed, that
there was not the slightest reason for charging any person with
setting the premises on fire.
The Jury concurred in that opinion, and returned a verdict of
" Accidental Death."
