Salisbury,
Monday, March 22, 1813.
The sentence of the law upon
Geo.Ruddock and
George Carpenter, attained at our late assizes for the murder of
Mr.William Webb, was executed on the down near Warminster, and near the place where the crime was committed, on Monday last, with peculiar solemnity. A procession was formed at eleven o'clock, from Warminster to the place of execution, in the following order :-
|
|
| A Detachment of the Wiltshire Yeomanry Cavalry | |
| About 200 Peace Officers and Gentlemen | |
| on Foot, with white Wands. | |
| The Bailiff of Warminster. | |
| A | A Sheriff's Officer on Horseback. | A |
| Parole | The Under Sheriff, the Magistrates of the Divison, | Parole |
| of | and about 100 Gentlemen on Horseback. | of |
| Cavalry | The Captain and a Party of the Sheriff's Javelin Men. | Cavalry |
| along | The Executioner. | along |
| the | The Criminals in a Cart, attended by a Clergyman. | the |
| Line. | Two Coffins supported by eight men. | Line. |
| The Reverend the Minister of Warminster. | |
| The County Gaoler, with his Attendants. | |
| Another Party of the Javelin Men. | |
| The Sheriff's Officers and others with White Wands. | |
| Another Detachment of the Yeomanry Cavalry. | |
The whole arrived at the fatal spot at about one o'clock, where, after the usual services, the criminals underwent the punishment of the law. They died acknowledging its justice, and professing unfeigned contrition.
In this awful case we perceive a new proof of the overwhelming power of conscience, which seems never to permit the murderer to take any rest, or to escape that dreadful visitation which is ordained by all laws human and divine. The atrocious crime by which those men have suffered was committed to secretly, that no human witness would ever bear testimony against them; - but, unable to sustain the weight of their accusing conscience, they became the witnesses of their own guilt, and found the only mitigation of their sufferings even in that righteous punishment which they have now undergone.
It is thought that there were forty thousand persons present at the execution, all of whom seemed properly impressed with the solemnity of the occasion.
Maundrell, Esq. v.
Poole.- In addition to the report we gave last week of this cause, we have further to state, that a verdict was given for the Plaintiff, under a rule of Court, by which the award alluded to in our last, and all other matters in difference between the parties, were left to the reference of
Wm.Grant, Esq.
The Dorchester Assizes which commenced on Friday terminated on Tuesday last, where the following prisoners were capitally convicted and received sentence of death, viz :-
Henry Powell, for stealing two heifers;
Robert Toop and
Joseph Collins, for sheep-stealing;
George Longman, for stealing a lamb; and
Robert Warr,
Jas.Matthews, (aged 16), and
Thomas Barnes, alias
Haskett, for housebreaking.-- They were all afterwards reprieved for Transportation. -
Meshach Rogers, for stealing money, was ordered to be confined to hard labour 18 calendar months, and pay a fine of 1s.;
George Hellier, for 12 calendar months, and pay a fine of 1s;
John Clark, jun. and
Samuel Brown, for six calendar months, to hard labour, and 1s. fine each, the latter to be once privately whipped;
William Pouncey, for four, and
Edward Balson for three calendar months each.- Three were acquitted, and two discharged, no bill being found.
At these assizes the only cause of importance was that of
Burridge v.
Cookney[?]. It was an action of trespass, tried by a special Jury. The plaintiff is a gentleman of Portsmouth, in very extensive business as a Baltic merchant, and has a wharf at Lyme. The object of the suit was a small piece of land, part of the plaintiff's wharf, of great value to him, and which he contended was included in his conveyance with other property purchased by him about 13 years ago of the late
Mr.Coade. On the other hand, the Corporation of Lyme claimed the land as their estate. It was a cause of great expectation, and lasted eight hours. Near 100 witnesses attended. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, and thereby established his right.
Our last Concert, for this season, ended on Thursday. This and the five preceding Concerts have been numerously and respectably attended, and the music has been selected with so much taste, and so ably performed, that the highest gratification has been afforded our musical amateurs. We are also greatly indebted to
Mr.Goodall for his exertions during the season; and we are pleased to hear that he is likely to meet with the reward to which he is so fairly entitled. His Ball on Thursday will, we understand, be attended not only by the subscribers to the Concert, but most of the families in the neighbourhood.
Died on Sunday night the 7th inst. after a long and painful affliction,
Mrs.West, wife of
Mr.West, cutler, of Farnham, Surrey.
On Sunday the 14th inst. died, at Devizes,
Thomas Lynch, Esq.
On Saturday morning died, after a lingering illness,
Mr.John Perry, of Clarendon Park, near this city.- His worth was best known to those more immediately in his neighbourhood : he was "true and just in all his dealings," and proved himself through life an upright, honest man, whose loss will be long felt and regretted.
There is now in the parish of Tresham, near Chudleigh, a lamb, about three weeks old, suckled from the day of its birth by a sheep-dog bitch. The ewe having died, the owner brought home the lamb, with intention to have it reared by hand; this trouble was saved through the spontaneous offer of the bitch, whose litter had that morning been destroyed. It is a firm, thriving lamb, and follows its nurse as its mother.
