Unable to rest, he arose from the earth, left the sheep-pen, and walked towards _Islington_, in which place, and at _Highgate_, he spent his time until the following evening, and once more _returned to London_, again viewed the _illuminations_ in the city, and again wandered about, until half-past twelve o’clock, when he directed his course once more towards _Islington_ and _Highgate_. No new scene, however, or course which he pursued, could lighten the load of his crime, or chase away the guilty horrors which pursued him. On this night, while walking up _Highgate Hill_, the _murdered woman again stood before him_! Imagination may paint, if it can, the horrible feelings of _Bedworth_ at this moment. _She walked with him_, _side by side_, until they reached the other side of the hill, and then _taking the hand of the miserable man_, _placed it upon her severed throat_, and groaned and mourned deeply!—Driven to despair, he fled into a _field_, where he threw himself down upon his face on some hay, hoping to elude at least the sight of his ghostly pursuer. Such, however, was the consequence of guilt, that _he felt her lying by his side_ and crouching against him! After spending the whole of the last-mentioned day and the _next night_ in indescribable horror, without being able to leave this situation, he _again came into London_, on the following morning; and—it would be incredible, if it were not true—he actually _applied_ at the _Justice Room_, _Guildhall_, for a “_walking pass_” to Wolverhampton! Such was the fact, and being told, upon application, that he must come the next day, he retired for that night into the fields near _Islington_, where his rest was rather less disturbed than before. The next morning he again applied at _Guildhall_ for a _pass_, but, after a strict examination, as to who he was, and where he last slept, he was ordered to go before the Magistrates at the _Public Office_, _Queen Square_. This he instantly _did_, and having there undergone the usual enquiries, he actually succeeded in obtaining a _pass_! At the moment the whole town was in alarm at the atrocity of the _murder_, when _Police Officers_ were in pursuit of him, and _placards_ were posted in every direction, describing his person and dress minutely, and offering a reward for his apprehension; at this moment he applied to the _Police Office_ for his pass, and obtained it from the Magistrates themselves, without being suspected!
