(en) Catherine Murphy, död 18 mars 1789, var en engelsk falskmyntare. Hon var den sista person som dömdes till att avrättas genom bränning på bål i Storbritannien. Catherine Murphy ställdes inför rätta för myntförfalskning i London tillsammans med flera medanklagade, inklusive sin make. Samtliga anklagade dömdes som skyldiga till döden. Hennes medbrottslingar var alla män, vilket innebar att de skulle avrättas genom hängning, medan Catherine Murphy som kvinna enligt lagen skulle avrättas genom att brännas på bål. Denna straffmetod hade sedan avrättningen av Phoebe Harris utsatts för allt mer kritik. (sv)

has abstract	Catherine Murphy († 18. März 1789) war eine englische Münzfälscherin. Sie war die letzte Frau in England, die offiziell auf dem Scheiterhaufen hingerichtet wurde. Catherine Murphy und ihr Mann Hugh Murphy wurden am 10. September 1788 im Old Bailey in London wegen Münzfälschung zum Tode verurteilt. Am Morgen des 18. März 1789 wurden beide zusammen mit weiteren wegen verschiedener Straftaten zum Tode verurteilten Männern im Newgate-Gefängnis hingerichtet. Die Männer wurden gehängt. Das Gesetz sah jedoch vor, dass zum Tod verurteilte Frauen auf dem Scheiterhaufen verbrannt werden. Catherine Murphy wurde also an den Gehängten vorbei zu ihrem Scheiterhaufen geführt und mit Seilen und einem Eisenring an einen Pfahl am Scheiterhaufen gefesselt. Dabei stand sie auf einem Podest. Nach ihren Gebeten schichtete der Henker William Brunskill Strohbündel um den Scheiterhaufen und zündete diese an. Laut Sir Benjamin Hammett, dem Sheriff von London, hatte dieser angeordnet, dass Catherine Murphy vor der Verbrennung erwürgt werde. Sie war mit einem Seil um den Hals gefesselt, und das Podest, auf dem sie stand, wurde weggezogen. Erst eine halbe Stunde später wurde der Scheiterhaufen angezündet. Ob sie bei der Verbrennung bereits tot war oder nicht, sie war auf jeden Fall die letzte Frau in England, die offiziell auf dem Scheiterhaufen hingerichtet wurde. Im folgenden Jahr wurde diese Hinrichtungsmethode durch den Treason Act 1790 abgeschafft. (de) Catherine Murphy (died 18 March 1789) (also known as Christian Murphy) was an English counterfeiter, the last woman in England to be officially burned at the stake. Catherine Murphy and her husband, Hugh Murphy, were convicted for coining at the Old Bailey in London and sentenced to death on 18 September 1788. She and her husband were executed on the morning of 18 March 1789 at Newgate Prison along with seven other men who had been convicted of various offences. The eight men were executed by hanging. But as a woman, the law provided that Murphy should be burnt at the stake. She was brought out past the hanging bodies of the others, and made to stand on a foot-high, 10-inch-square platform in front of the stake. She was secured to the stake with ropes and an iron ring. When she finished her prayers, her executioner, , piled faggots of straw around the stake and lit them. According to testimony given by Sir Benjamin Hammett, the Sheriff of London, he gave instructions that she should be strangled before being burned. She was, reportedly, tied with one rope around her neck, after which the platform was removed from under her feet and 30 minutes passed before the fire was lit, and thus, she was not actually burned alive. Whatever the case, Catherine Murphy remains the last person to have been sentenced and at least officially executed by the method of burning. In part through the efforts of Sir Benjamin Hammett, who took the execution of Murphy as an example when he criticised this form of punishment, burning as a method of execution was abolished the next year, by the Treason Act 1790.
