A few days since We gave an account
Of the execution Of John Lomas, for the
nurer Of his master George Mo:rey.-
Since then, we find in a London paper
of the e6th of August, the trial OF Lo~
mas, from which il appears that he vas
bribed TO commit this horrid act b. Mrs.
Morrey, the wife of the deceased ! and
that she, as we'll as Lomas, was con-
dcrnned to death. Lomas was CXecut-
ed and Mrs, Morrey, Being pregnant,
was respittd until alter her delivery.
