SENTENCE OF JOHN BURKE.

John Burke, the lrshman who was tried last week
before the Supreme Court for the murder of his wife,
and found guilty, was brought into court Yesterday
morning to receive his sentence. 1t was delivered by
Judge SHERMAN, in feeling and impressive manner,
as follows. The prisoner we understand, appeared
entirely unconcerned as to his fate,
JONI BrRKE:-I gu have been con, ,cted of the mur
der OF your vile, The high crime was aggravated by
the near relation which you sustained 10 the unhappy
deny that you perperatod the horrid deed The only
excuse urged IN your behalf by the able counsel as
signedd by the Court for your defence was that she
had gwen you such sudden provocaton as ought 10
mitigate the CRIME OF murder IN that of manslauehter
our declarations however before and after you took
her lie, as well as the circumstances which accom-
panied me act were all eNncNe of deliberate predc-
'efmnauon IL was done openly and CONSIDERABLY
AT nd-dav lou were not under the influence of IN .
toxcating hquors-an influence which sometimes
soothes the conscience although il arerayntos the
guilt. With one hand you held her head and with
the other plunged your knife into her throat You
drew the deadly weapon deliberately, from side 10 side
and laid open the great bloodvesse from the heart
She INSTANTLY fell and in few moments her snirt
fled. While taking her life you turned away Your
face, unable to look upon the appalling spectacle In
further execution Of the design which YOU hadannoun-
ced some day or two before, of taking her LIE and
your own you fled to the river an1 attempted suicide
When life was almost extinct yen merr resc,ed and
with much difficulty restored To sense and conscious
ness, Your appearance a, the bar of your final Judge
No which you were Iashly fastening was thus delay
ed Against your own will, opportunity given
yoi to reflect and seek forgiveness Cod grant II may
not 30 in vain

e"oW " We oeVdtS oVu hV"Se " fsspfeSeH-
tatires:
Again it becomes my duty to address you upon our
public concerns Our official duties are various and
responsible; and shall best subserve the object Of
our appointment and most effccually promote the
prosperity Of our country, by an honest, faithful and
wise discharge Of them. All legislation having in
view the virtue and permanent happiness of the people,
will ultimately result in the common welfare.
Under our happy form Of government the rights Of
the hunlblcst citizen sacrcdly secured those
OF the most highly favored; and every act which shall
unnecessarily limit abrdge those rights, is posi-
tive conravention of the letter of our constitution and
in direct violation of tho spirit Of civil institutions
To encourage the practice Of virtue prevent the
MISSION of crime to foster the interests of education
to promote the industry md improvement of the
country and to protect tho personal liberty and rights
Of our citizens, arc among our legitimate and proper
duties as legislators.
In popular governments law depends for its effica-
cy, mainly upon the convictions Of ,he people of its
necessity and expediency. Without public opinion in
It's favor legislative enactment becomes dead letter
upon our statute book, and is not only dsregarded Of
itself but IN some weakens the force of salu
tary and necessary laws and consequently lessons the
respect paid 10 them. We ought therefore, to pause
and examine with great canton, before adopting pro-
positions for altering tho principles or details of laws
winch have received judicial construction, and with
whose provisions the people have become familiar.

session OF the general assembly brought under exam

The SCIENCES through which you have passed in this
Court solemn and Impressive. Your case has
undergone patient and impartial examination Of
grand and petit Jury. After full inyes CATION, they
have untcdly pronounced you guilty. The facts a.
disclosed in the testimony could leave doubt any
impartial mind. You were seen to do i've act. Your
arm was seized by female who was present, but BY
hand too feeble TO avert the fatal stroxc. Numbers
soon saw the awful wound, the flowing blood and
the lfcless body In numerous conversations since you
have voluntarily admitted the murder. You have never
spoken of it with or regret disapprobaton,o attempted
to excuse It as the result OF excitement upon sudden
proyocaon. On the contrary, you have declared IN
der like circumstances yon would do it again.
My motive in presenting these considerations, 10
to wound your feelings but that you may feel that
pardon is hopeless, and be thereby excited 10 i'm
prove the short remaining period of your lie IN seeking
repentance towards God and faith in the Lo,d Jesus
Christ Great your crimes are they are got ~ great
the price paid for your redemption. Hopeless 40
your prospects in this life are, you may STILL through
God grace be nblc to attain the hope of better fo
But any hope is dclusivo until you feel your own guilt
and cease to approve the awful deed by which your
life is forfeited. I cannot bid you final adleu and
proceed TO the dreadful sentence whcht is my painful
duty to pronounce, without urging YOU by every con-
sdernon that can in influence your heart, to turn to
God--to consider his infinite compassion for the peni
tcnand his memorable justice towards those who con-
tlnue nsensble OF the guilt of violating his sacred pre-
ccpts. Without repentance the loss of this life which
you have incurred, momonious it is is trlfe in
comparison with the woes which follow it. BY re-
pcntance and Gods pardonlng grace, purchased by
the Saviours blood, your prospects of future happ-
ness may yet mitigate the gloom of your solitary pri-
son, and sustain your spirit under the agones Of q
painful death.
In the name and by the authority of the State Of
Connecticut this Court doth now pronounce the ssn-
| tencc Of the law
You are rcmanded to the gaol from which you are
taken, there to be kept in close confinement Till tho
third Tuesday Of June next. On that day between tho
hours Of ten and two o'clock, within the gaol of
