A few days since, a woman of rather respectable
appearance, introduced herself to an elderly Lady
at Newbury, as being perfectly acquainted with her
relations in a distant county. Happy to hear of her
friends, and pleased with the stranger's conversa-
tion, she invited her to spend the evening and take a
bed there. After she had retired, it occurred to the
old Lady that she saw something more than feminine
iin the appearance of her guest. She communicated
Iher suspicious to her neighbour, who was a consta-
i ble. They consequently repaired to the chamber,
and on their entering the apartment, the guest buil-

looking round the room they found a laznr open on
I the table, and a bundle, containing a few articles of
1 apparel and a pistol !

spectators. About one o'clock the inifortunate man
was taken from the prison, and I.?d to the place of
