FURTHER PARTICULARS.) Since writing the above the following fresh facts have come to our knowledge. Upon the culprits being removed from the dock after their condemnation to the cells, May became very violent in his expressions towards Bishop, for bringing him into the dreadful dilemma, for which his life was to pay the forfeit. On being placed in separate cells, two men, named Collins and Payne, two officers employed at the prison, were placed to keep a watch upon their movements, lest either of them should attempt to lay violent hands upon himself. During the night each of the miserable men slept soundly at intervals, and when awake appeared composed, and their minds seemed quite tranquillized. During the night Bishop and Williams expressed a wish to have an interview with the Rev. Theodore Williams, the respectable Vicar of Hendon, as they wished to make a communication with hint respecting the dreadful crime for which they had been doomed to suffer. The person in attendance upon the miserable man, lost no time in acquainting Mr. Wontner of the request, and that gentleman sent off immediately to Hendon for the Rev. Pastor. This morning at eleven o'clock, Mr. Williams arrived at the prison, and was introduced to the culprits. Bishop upon I seeing the Rev. Gentleman became quite unnerved, as also did Williams, bet May appeared to act differently, and seemed as if he felt himself almost guiltless. The whole of them this morning appeared much shaken, and Bishop and Williams gave relief to their feelings by shedding teats in abundance. This morning Mr. Corder waited upon the Magistrates at Bow-street, and in an interview with Mr. Halls, that gentleman stated that be should not offer any further evidence against Williams's wife, who was in custody on the charge of being concerned in the murder of the woman Pigburn, as be feared her detention would operate against the unhappy men in making a confession. Mr. Halls told Mr. Corder he would speak to Mr. Nlinshull when he arrived, and that the woman should be discharged. At three o'clock the Rev. Mr. Williams was still with the culprits alone, and was reducing to writing the confession. of Bishop and Williams, but not a word has been suffered to transpire. The Lord Chief Justice Tindal, who tried the cause, Mr. Justice Littledale, and Mr. Baron 'Vaughan, are now in consultation in the Judge's private room, together with the two Sheriffs and the Under Sheriffs. Mr. Wontner is also in attendance.— Mr. Corder for some reason or other was not at first present, but was introduced into the room by Mr. Ellis, the Under-Sheriff, and the consultation is still going on. We were informed that the interview was relative to the case of May, who, it is supposed, is lilts guilty ti-an his wicked companions, this however can be only taken as a rumour. Arrangements are making by the Sheriffs to prevent, as much as pos• sible, any tumult or accident taking place at the execution of the wretched men. The nature of the confession of the men, we were teld, would not he publicly known till after their execution. Nothing can exceed the anxiety that prevails to be present at the execution. Numerous applications have been made by the Nobility and others to the Sheriffs to be prewar, but all have been refused.
