Mr.Dark's guess, when he tried to account for her want of cunning in hiding the stolen property, by saying that her mind might have had more weighing on it than she was able to bear, turned out to b e nothing less than the plain and awful truth.

After she had been found guilty of the robbery, and had been condemned to seven years' transportation, a worse sentence fell upon her from a higher tribunal than any in this world.

While she was still in the county jail, previous to her removal, her mind gave way, the madness breaking out in an attempt to set fire to the prison.

Her case was pronounced to be hopeless from the first.

The lawful asylum received her, and the lawful asylum will keep her to the end of her days.
Mr.James Smith, who, in my humble opinion, deserved hanging by law, or drowning by accident at least, lived quietly abroad with his Scotch wife (or no wife) for two years, and then died in the most quiet and customary manner, in his bed, after a short illness.
