EXECUTION OF BARTHOLOMEW MURRAY, FOR
THE MURDERS AT OVER-PEOVER.

CHESTER, Saturday night.—The last sentence of the law
was carried into effect upon the body of this unfortunate
culprit at the city gaol this morning.
He was locked up every night in the condemned cell by
himself, and is stated to have enjoyed up to Thursday night
sound and unbroken sleep. On Friday morning, the holy
sacrament was administered to him by the Rey. J.Carberry.
He then appeared quite resigned to his fate, and deeply im-
pressed with the urgent necessity of making his peace, with
God. On Friday afternoon he expressed a wish to see the
prisoners who (up to the day of his condemnation) had been
confined in the same yard with him. He bade all an affec-
tionate and affecting adieu, and on shaking hands with the
man in confinement on suspicion of shooting a gamekeeper
at Huxley, near Tarporley, he said he hoped he would avoid
that fate which so soon awaited him. He made no other allu-
sion to his situation, further than a general expression of his
feeling both well and happy. Between eight and nine o'clock
in the evening he was revisited by the Roman catholic clergy-

man. He then went to bed, and taking his prayer-book in
his hand, with the exception of some short intervals, read the
contents with marked devotion throughout the night. He
dressed about four o'clock, and partook of a hearty break-
fast.

The county authorities next conducted Murray to the lobby
adjoining the outer gate of the Castle. He was there hand-
cuffed, and the city sheriff and his officers being announced
as waiting for the culprit at Glover's Stone (the city boundry
mark), Mr. Dunstan conducted his prisoner on foot in that
direction. The unhappy man walked by the side of the priest,
still repeating the prayers, and the gaze of a crowd of sonic
thousonds did not appear in the least to affect him. On th
arrival of the county procession at the boundary, a black
railed cart without springs (provided by the city authorities
was in readiness to convey the culprit to the city gaol. 11
was lifted into it, and manacles having been fixed to his lc
the Rev. J. Carberry took a seat in the cart by the
the culprit, both riding with their backs to the horse,
after the true Tyburn style was led by the hangman, a
titioner from Staffordshire. The governor of the cit
headed the procession, and the sheriffs, under-sheriff, ant
large body of officers brought up the rear. The crowd w
was exceedingly
.dense, and the police constables had great
difficulty in keeping them back, so as to make a passage for
the cart. The number of females (many of them well dressed )
present was in a majority of at least two to one of the male
QPIr

The procession reached 'he gaol as the clock struck five.
The cart was taken to the back door of the prison, and
Murray's manacles having been removed, he was conducted
through the chapel in which his coffin was lying, to the cell
at the foot of the fatal platform. The sight of neither the
coffin nor drop appeared to affect him in the least. On en-
tering the cell he directly knelt down, and continued his
devotions. The various services of the Roman church were
continued throughout) the morning almost unceasingly.
Murray at no time lost that confidence for which be lias n
so remarkable. On the arrival of the sheriff the rotoiril

Y OF AN EXTENSIVE BURGLARY.-It will be
',at at the beginning of last month the house of
tess, Esq. of Batbford, was burglariously entered,
Antity of valuable property taken away therefrom,
ig of jewellery, a double-barreled gun, clothes, &c.,
Taunt of nearly £lOO. Mr. Yeeless having been very
ndering pecuniary and other assistance to the poor
a universal feeling of sympathy was aroused,
--neral anxiety manifested to discover the
robbery. Until Sunday last, however,
canned a mystery, notwithstanding the vigilance
of Mr. Hall, the chief officer of Bath. Many
ces had come to his knowledge which threw a
,uspicion round several parties, but until the day
i, nothing had transpired that would enable him to
large on any individual. From information which
.;ceived of the burglar whom we are about to name
for sale a portion of the property, it was discovered
le of Mr. Yeeles's own servants, named James Mizen,
d been engaged as an assistant in his garden. Minn
Jnally slept in the house, but he had lodgings at a Mrs.
s, in the same village. Great confidence had been
I in the man, and he had been treated with much kind-
,y Mr. Yeeles, which renders the act one of greater
y. As a proof of this, Mizen, some time ago, told his
that on his return from Chalfield, where he had been
he had been stopped and robbed of his watch and
Tereigns ; and Mr. Yeeles thereupon not only gave
towards making good his loss, but Mrs. Yeeles
a penny subscription amongst his fellow-servants
of his acquaintance for the same purpose. What
'atter still worse is, that since the discovery of the
,tort' turns out to have been a vile fabrication, a
lng been found upon him, he having
at Mr. Archard's, in Bath. From having
s.ne house of Mr. Yeeles a great deal, Mizen had an
tuntty of seeing the disposition of the property therein,
nding that some of the more valuable portions were in
'eeles's dressing-room, it appears that he selected that
scene of his unprincipled conduct. It seems that
came over the fields from his lodgings, and gained
into the grounds of Mr. Yeeles through an out-house
into the green-house, and it was through this window
zen effected an entrance. lie bored a small hole
imlet in the woodwork, and by that means starred
pane of glass, so as to enable hint to get his hand
-ten the hatch. He then had easy access to the
which is on the ground, a passage only sepa-
dining-room. The more valuable of the
„ such as a diamond ring, gold pencil-case,
, pins, &e., were on the tables in the room, where
been left without the slightest suspicion. On
, apprehension, by Mr. Hall, early on Monday morn-
pencil-case was found upon him, and he told Mr.
tat he would save him any further trouble about the
ty, for he would find it in a box at his lodgings. These
searched in the course of the day, and in a large box
ound nearly the whsle of what had been stolen. A ve-
te pin, set with hair, a present from Mrs. Yeeles to Mr.
les, was, however, still missing, and exertions were made .
recover it. It turned out that Mizen's ladye love"
-
ed as servant at Mr. Spencer's, at Chalfield, near Brad_
rd, and it struck Mr. Hall that it was probable she might
now something about this
bmer Mizenlover wasas w
pin. He accordingly went over
n Monday, and saw the young woman to who
aying his addresses, who, on hearing that.
tder the watchful care of Mr. Pike, the gaoler of Bath,
opted the course usual under such circumstances and
rated away. On her recovery, she gave up the identical
which she said Mizen had given her as one which had
hair in it as a proof of his untiring affection. Thus has
extensive robbery been unravelled, and the thief cap-
I, much to the satisfaction not only of Mr. Yeeles him-
but of his neighbours, who warmly congratulate him on
scovery. Mizen has been committed to the assizes.-
