CHRONICLE. 
woman who this day suffered the 
sentence of the law, a meeting 
took place yesterday at lord Sid- 
mouth’s office (his lordship is 
out of town), at which the Lord 
Chancellor, the Recorder, and 
Mr. Beckett were present. A full 
and minute investigation of the 
case, we understand, took place, 
and of all that had been urged 
in her favour by private indivi- 
duals ; but the result was a de- 
cided conviction that nothing had 
occurred which could justify an 
interruption of the due course of 
justice. So anxious was the 
Lord Chancellor in particular to 
satisfy his own mind, and put a 
stop to all doubts on the part of 
the people at large, that another 
meeting was held by the same 
parties last night, when they 
came to the same determination, 
and in consequence the unfortu- 
nate culprit suffered the penalty 
of the law.’? 
The crime for which this un- 
happy person suffered, was that of 
‘poisoning the family with whom 
she lived servant, in some dump- 
lings made by herself. The parti- 
culars of the evidence on her 
trial have afforded matter of 
much discussion, public and pri- 
vate; and as an accurate judg- 
- ment cannot be formed without a 
full examination of the whole, 
we refrain from any abridged 
statement. 
Her funeral took place on the 
Slst. It had been previously un- 
derstood that she was not to be 
interred until five o’clock, but her 
eercts and friends very prudent- 
y changed the hour, by which 
means much confusion was ob- 
viated. The crowds, however, 
assembled, were immense. The 
Vout, LVII, 
49 
funeral began to move from the 
house of her father in Eagle-street, 
Red Lion square, about half past 
three o’clock. It was preceded 
by about a dozen peace officers, 
and these were followed by nearly” 
30 more ; next came the under- 
taker, immediately followed by 
the body of the deceased. The 
pall was supported by six young 
females, attired in white: then 
followed eight persons, male and 
female, as chief mourners, led by 
the parents. These were suc- 
ceeded by several hundreds of 
persons, two and two, and the 
whole was closed by a posse of 
peace officers. Many thousands 
accompanied the procession, and 
the windows, and even tops of 
the houses, as it passed, were 
thronged with spectators. The 
whole proceeded in a regular 
manner, until it reached the bu- 
rying ground of St. George the 
Martyr. The number of persons 
assembled in and about the 
church yard could not be much 
short of 10,000. Not the slight~ 
est accident, however, occurred, 
and the procession of mourners, 
&c. returned in the same order it 
came by the Foundling, Lamb’s- 
conduit-street, &c. The vigilance 
of the officers, in preserving or- 
der, was highly meritorious ; but 
they were unable to resist the 
anxiety of the multitude at the 
church-yard, the gates being ac- 
tually forced. A young man, a 
livery servant, in the crowd, who 
had spoken somewhat disrespect- 
fully of the deceased, was rather 
roughly handled by the populace.
