Gray( Bansollute, a captain in the army, who was oon victed last rsea.ions of an assault upon Esther Crimea, was brought up for judgment. Mr. Barris, who appealed for the Society for the Pro tection of Women and Children, said it was the wish of the prosecutrix and also the society by whom he was instructed to reoommend the prisoner to the merciful consideration of the court. Ile was also recommended to mere by the jury, and he bad to state that while the prosecutrix also strongly recommended him to mercy, she refused to take a single penny as compensation. lie hoped his lordship would consider the junishment the prisoner had already under gone su t, and that be would give effect to the joint recommendation to mere which had been made. Mr. M. Williams, for the prisoner, said it was a great znislunent to the prisoner occupy such a position as he in the dock, and be could not speak too highly as to themay in which the prosecutrix had conducted herself, and the prisoner had expressed his regret for what had occurred. The prosocutrix, who knew more about the cue than anyone else. desired no further punishment. The society desired nothing further, and the jury bad strongly recommended him to mercy, believing at the time that his lordship would merely &no him, and not send him to prison for what be had done. ~- Mr. Payne said, hitherto the prisoner himself had ex pressed no regret for what he had done, but had raised the tearful issue that the girl, who had given her evidence in a very clear manner, had said that which was un true, and was [unworthy of credit. She had added to her high character by her recommenda tion to mercy 3n account of the prisoner's wife, and he hoped she would get a good situation and be better treated than she had been by the prisoner. lie believed his wish to be echoed by everyone who heard the case. The sen tence on the prisoner was that ho be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for three months. LATEST SPORTING INTELLIGRNCIi NEWMARKET MEETING.-(THIR DAY.) SWEEP/MAHN& Sir Oliver walked over.

On examining the wall it was found that the gun had been fired direct at the spot where the young ladies were.
