CRIMINA T. r, an. TT 1711171 //T.!, rCi -w, .  CAPITAL C 01V V' C lONS. 'he Spring Assiz2s haEe beeu attended with a more ,hen usual number of capital convictions. W. Kalabergo at Oxford, Anthony Turner at Derby, and Eliza Pinkard at Northampton have already suffered the extreme penalty of the law. Sarah French, for poisoning her husband, is left for execution on • Saturday at Lewes. There were no less than three capital convictions for murder at Bury St. Edmunds. W. Rollinson for poisoning is no less than eighty-three years old. There has been no application on his behalf, and the Secretary of State does not interfere with the law taking its course unless in the case of application and grounds for interference. W. Baldry for poisoning his wife was convicted, but Lord Campbell has put off his execution until the Bth of May—the last day of term—in order to take the opinion of the judges on a point of law raised in his favour. The third is John Micklcburgb, the farmer, who stabbed his female servant at a fair in a fit of jealousy. Although not declared irresponsible for his acts, there is still enough ground for inquiry into his general eccentricity, which, coupled with the heat and suddenness of the act, has caused inquiries to he instituted into his state of mind. The case of John Keane, convicted at Kingston, for throwing the child of his wife down a deep well at Albury, is very peculiar. The case made in his favour is, that he was convicted upon evidence which iwteisitioaninly admissible because his wife (who was aequilited of the crime) was joined with him in the indictment. Abel Ovens and his paramour, Eliza Dower, were convicted at Monmouthshire for the murder of their ilraettreihild. It is likely that the woman may obeve, as not having actually committed the eanai posed to be under the influence of the man. acreit, grieve ensd •,Taup at Win Ayers, who had received a fortnight's w resparedhich h°4"in:erthe: lie,vaerrey respiteci.Their,unsatisfactory e vliivdeesn cwe will lpobne Wiii.irrieted.
