EOrtifude Of n Woman previous 10 her
Execution.

A woman by the name of Mary Burdeck was tried
at the Bristol Assizes for the murder Of Mrs Smith.
She protested her innocence, but the jury found her
guilty, and she ordered for execution. The fol-
lowing account of the sang froid with which she
treated the matter, is given by the Bristol Journal
Such accounts have something in them so mixed up
of awuness and eccenlrcity, that whilst shudder,
we can scarce repress u smile:
On quitting the BAR she was taken the prisoners
room under the court, when she manifested the most
perfect Indifference TO her situation. She visited
by her relations including her brother and her chill
dren. Seeing them moved by the scene then passing,
she desired them to be quiet and not TO como there
to make her low-spirted," and Immediately turning
10 her solicitor said, now let to business-about
the $500 in the bond! They can't hold it that's all
stuff What will be left for the children, when al
the bills paid 2" Her attorney having answered
her, she turned quickly round to her brother and sad
" mind Jem you tar his bill" On Il being pressed
not to think OF this word's concerns. she said, 81
must attend to business" She then called Mrs.
Vowles, the matron Of the prison, and asked, "who
makes the Jail coffins 7" On receiving answer,
she again turned to her brother and desired him to
get good, strong cofin," adding, but mind, you
not TO pay more than 81 for 1t; at the same
time moving herself up from The bed and lifting her
elbows, she said, Mind, it must be full sized, and
let it be lined with flannel; and mind that | have
DGrm comfortable shrOud and don't let the coffin be
screwed down tight recolect that il be brought
TO me this evening-fll have it put by my bedside
Her conduct during the final and awful scene was
equally cool. When the hangman adjusting the
rope round her neck, she asked him if he could not
"put something soft round t!' On reaching the
platform 1t rained, and umbrella was asked for by
officer. for the clergyman. The criminal being
desired by the Governor to move on with him, she
said, No, will wait for the umbrella" She
again reminded TO proceed, but repeated that she
would wait for the umbrella.
