At the Kingston Circuit held last week before his Honor Judge Parker, a singular and very awful circumstance occurred, adding another melancholy instance of the fatal effects of Intemperate habits to the long catalogue already recorded. A criminal confined in a Kingston gaol, by the name of George WRIGHT, was indicted by the Grand Jury for Burglary, in breaking and entering the dwelling house of one SMITH, a Tavern Keeper of Hampton, by forcing up a window, at the hour of 11 at night, when the family had all retired to rest, breaking open the door of the Bar-room, and taking therefrom 'a bottle of Rum'. - There was very little doubt of his guilt, and as the offence is punishable with Death, it was expected that in a few days his earthly career would be terminated by the most ignominious punishment known in the land. It was stated that he was in the habit of pilfering whenever an opportunity presented itself, to gratify his passion for Ardent Spirits - His Trial was fixed for Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, and two Gentlemen of the Bar, tending the Court on Civil business were assigned to be his Counsel. His appearance when called upon to plead to the Indictment was not less shocking tan when those Gentlemen visited him in his dreary cell - it was scarcely human - his person deformed, emaciated and shaking as if with the severest attack of ague and covered with rags and dirt. The Gaoler had stated that he had burnt a pair of pantaloons and to beds which had been provided for his comfort by the humanity of the Sheriff. His story to his Counsel was broken and wandering and repititious, and not so totally disconnect -ed as to lead to a belief of his insanity, which seemed to be his object. He also appeared to have been taking some liquor. Upon the whole, they left him unable to come to any conclusions as to his state of mind, intending to make the best of his wretched case in the morning. When the morning came he was found lying dead in his solitary room, stretched out with his feet towards the stove, just where his keeper had left him the night before, an awful example of the long course of vice, proceeding evidently from an insatiable and inconquerable thirst for Ardent Spirits terminating in a dreadful and wholly unprepared death!
