He was W 41140111 to the scaffold by two turnkeys, and Caleraft, the exectitionev, lost 110 time in nal:Mg the necessary arrangements. The following statement made by the prisoner, in which is a full confection of his guilt, has been 'tended over for publication: ° For a long time he, Wm.

The uncle then wrote for him to conic., but on condition aids being obedient and attentive to his religious duties and careful to avoid bad company. But soon after his arrival in Banbury he begati to repent having come to his uncle, for he found him exceedingly strict and often very cross. lie used to be always scolding him, and particularly when they sat down to their meals. He even went as far as to threaten to turn him out into the street. This exasperated the nephew, and at length the Devil put it into his head that if he were to kill the old mat. lie should get rid of the torment and obtain possession of his property as his heir. In pursuance of this design lie purchased a pistol, with meney which he had stolen from his uncle's shop ; besides this he stole at other times about IN. in money. This was found by the police when they searched his pockets and effects.

He committed the murder by quietly coining behind his uncle, putting the muzzle ot the pistol close behind Iris ear, and firing off' one of the barrels. The old man fell on the instant, as lie supposes without being in the slightest degree conscious whose hand caused his (teeth. He fired the eecend barrel at his victiin as he lay upon the ground. Ile did not touch the body, but ran away iunnediately. He saw no one near at the time, nor afterwaids, till he met the person on the road, whom he described to be Nit.. Sanitielson. He got over a hedge into a field, mid in doing so lost his rat; lie did not return to p k it up, but lan across the fields towards Batibury. I. aiding tile great coat cumbersome, he took it off and put it in a ditch full of water—in the same ditch lie hid the pistol. When he afterwards reaelcal the high road, he took out , of his pocket a paper containing percussion caps mid scattered them on the road. He entered Banbury by the bridge, and ran tip the High-street, aid past his uitele's door, to the house of the priest.. He solemnly declares that no one else ever had airy knowledge of his ititention to commit the murder, nor any connection either with that or the robberies committed by him."
