In the Central Criminal Court, today, Augustus Dolmas was brought

up for sentence. When asked if he had anything to say why sentence of death should not he pronounced, he exclaimed- " My Lord, before God, 1 most solemnly declare that I am innocent of the dreadful crime of which I have been convicted. I swear before God that I never took the woman into a public-house on the night in question ; I was never in Duke Street—I was not on Battersea Bridge, on that fatal night. The witnesses were mistaken."

He covered his face with his hands, and wept bitterly while Mr. Tfaron Gurney sentenced him to he hanged.
