abandons himself to despair. He attended divine service
this morning in the chapel attached to the gaol,

sears, he was led in by Mr. Otridge, and accompanied
by his attendant,. He walked with an infirm step. and
was, as on the preceding week, placed in the felon's
pew. His appearance was very different from that
when we last saw him. He then wore a confident,
bold, and unintirnidated aspect; but now his expression
and demeanour were completely changed. His tars
flowedlntirrents, he sank feebly upon the seat, and,
covering hi's face with his left hand he sobned convul-
sively. He did not himself audibly in the set vice,
but continued absorbed in grief. He brought with him
a neatly bound prayer-book, but of this he made no
uso,*and only held it firmly grasped in his hand.
