He was minims that labour should ant he oppressed, and that capital should not be earrificed. Two years ago a select committee bad reported on this sub jest.

He had done all in his power to abridge the mid promote the relaxation of workpoople in Man shaster_ , _whore the employers generally had granted the Ulf -holiday, and paid their wages on Friday. (Hear, hear.) The hours of labour ia cotton worts were now reduced to Mia a weak, and they aho had a full week's holiday at Whitsuntide. la print...ohs, where the demand for productions was extremely fluctuating, the workmen were allowed to be employed twelve hours a day during the busy meow. Thor, was no dimatiefaction whatever senuopt the workpeopie ; they were perfectly content with the exist* bows. - The same remark applied to throe ern 'doped is bleash-worka He should be glad to wee some shicatiord provinces introduced into this bill—the same as salted with regard to operatives employed in factories. The masters of bleach would gla dl y comma to some measure which would not interfere with their production ; and any measure that injured the masters mist sally empire the operatives. The production of the bleach-works was not continuous, like that of cotton.factories; owing to the varying demand for white or coloured goods, the bleachers and dyers were alternately very slack or very fully employed. He should be glad to know why the some law shouh not be applied to them ea to calico-printers. The hoe. member for &hos would coedne the boom of Wenches' sad dyers to 60 • week, as was done is cotton factories ; bat calico-printers, who ware also bleachers and dyer., were allowed to work 80 hours • week. The owners eif bleach-works had no wish to rodeos the earnings of their werkpeople—a result which would inevitably follow from redwing the lours of labour. After an inquiry by • select esousittee, it would be easy to frame a bill which would be acceptable to all parties. It was impossible wholly to die. pease with night work in bleach grounds. He knew that the operatives there employed were an athletic race ; the saes were strong and active, and the women fair and healthy. Still, he was not an advocate for long hours. After the charges that had been made spinet the master bleachers and dyers, they had a right to the inquiry he asked for, the result of which be had no doubt would be satisfactory to both employers and employed. In may black-works the operatives were only , pd. o!ployed in summer. and they were sent into the ha The employers only asked fee the fairoossideratics the house.

Yr. Q.C., and Mr. Prentice were counsel for the plaintiffs ; Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., Mr . Thompson, and Mr. Roll were counsel for the defendant. Mr. Collier, in stetting the case to the jury, said that the plaintiff, Mr. Dixon, was an ironmooger, carrying on busi ness in Eaton-street, Pimlico, and the defendant described himself as formerly a captain in the Austrian or Pruden army, and lately in the Bankruptcy Court aa • merchant and com mission scent The action was toren assault on the plaintiffs wife, and in orderto make it intelligible, itwas necessary that he should detail some of the transactions that had taken =between them. The defendant, when he was first to the plaintiff, was nodding in the house of Madame Schultz, in Chester-terms. He then supplied some pods to them under the impresario that thodefet woe M. Schulte, and Madame's husband, and not, as it now appeared, H. Desch, and her lodger. The ddendant then removed from Chester-terrace to Charles-street. Haymarket, and there other goods were supplied amounting to 261. The plaintiff once unable to get his money, and he mstitated.P/m"d1211 for its recovery, when the defendant preened he wee a lodger, and Madame Schultz pleaded ooverture. An agree ment was, however, oome to for the amount to be paid by inetalmenbe, and U. 10s. had only bean paid. On the Ist of August hat the plaintiff's wile called in the evening at Charles-street for some money, when the assault am phuned of waa committed. The learned counsel called the following evidence. Mr. Dixon, the plaintiff, was called. He deposed to the dealings between the pieties, and his impression that when he supplied the goods and executed the work the de fendant warn Madame's'hustend. In cross-examination the et= mid the paths had threatened to send for a for him when be bad called for money. When found he could not get his money he told his boys to call when they pawed the house, ' and inquire if M. Schultz, who was represented to be in America, was at home, and when the money would be paid? He denied that he eat them there to annoy the parties. He never said that he bad tried his remedy at law and had failed, and that he should continue Wien( till be got the money. He said, "Where is that d—d Busch ? I'll knock his doable specs off and make him see through his eyes." (Laughter.) That was after his conduct towards his (plaintiff's) wife. Mrs. Dixon, a genteel, delicate.looking person, deposed as follows:—On the Ist of August last I was walking in the evening in St. James's.paric with my servant and five chil dren. It occurred to me that as I was in the neighbour hood I would call upon Madame Schultz, thinking I might induce her to pay me some money. I called at the house between seven and eight o'clock, knocked at the door, and asked to see Madame Schultz. The servant said she was not at home, and I waited in the hall for some time with my eldest daughter. The other children and the ser vant were waiting opposite, under the Opera Colonnade. After some time the defendant came bonne, went upstairs, then came down again, called the *errant, said something to her, and she left the house. As somas she had left the defendant said, " You have come from Mr. Dixon for the money owing from her to him." I said, "Ys." He instantly seized me and threw me down. I screamed for help, saying I was enciente, and not to kill me for the sake of my children, but he conti nued to . drag me along the passage to the street door, during which a female voice called out, "For God's sake, Busch, consider ber eta*" but she did net come to my amistience. The defendant dragged me to the door, took me up in his arms, and threw me out of the door on to the stones. I fainted and do not remember what took place after that till I found myself in a baker's shop near at hand, where I had been given a glans of water. After that I was given in charge of a policeman, and I was conveyed in peat agony ad pais to the police-station in Vine-itneet. On the way I had frequently to stop, and I was afraid of premature labour. I asked to have a cab, but the police man said it was not usual, end I did not have one. I was suffering from cramp. After being at the police-station for a short time I was discharged, when some strangers procured a cab for me, and I was sent home. When I was thrown into the street I fell on my back. I was much bruised, and had to keep my bed for five days. I did not give the defendant any provocation. Crom-examined --When I called at Charles-street I de clined to give my name and business. I did not say that I had called to see Madame Schultz, and that I would remain till twelve o'clock to see her. The servant brought me a chair, aid lat down in the hall. I did not say to the lodger who came in, " Are you 11. Busch ? I have come for my husband's money." The defendant did not ask me to leave and call again in the morning, or he would send for a policeman. I did not say that I had celled for the of annoyance by the advice of my friends. I rude i ll ' oM e urtianoe. At the polios-ahtion I said I would not apply again foe the money. I did not complain at the station-house that I had been assaulted. Mary Quin, plaintiff's servant, Isabella Dixon, her eldest daughter, and Mr. Sass, the baker, were called in support of the plaintiffs' case. Mr. Woolmer, surgeon, was called in to see the female plaintiff on the 16th August. She was suffering from ner vous irritability. Mr. Hawkins having addressed the jury for the defence, Ann Poles deposed that in August last she was in Ma dame Schultz's service. She left in September. The female plaintiff, when she called, refused to give her name or business. Madame Schultz was ill at the time. She re mained in the hall about three-quarters of an hoar. Wil lem declined to give her a chair, and she sat on the stairs till M. Busch came in. The female plaintiff was in a very excited state, and twirled herself round and her purse in the defendant's face. The defendant desired "ranee' to fetch a several times before she did so. When witness left to batch a policeman there were a great number of persona outside the door. Mrs. Dixon called out " order" and for help, but the defendant did not touch her; when Mame returned with the policeman Mrs. Dixon was at the door leaving the house. She put her hand upon witness's shoulder, who took hold of her, and desired her not to excite her self. The defendant did not touch Mrs. Dixon. When he came downstairs he bad a cane in his had, and in the most gentlemanly manner he laid it on the table, and asked her to leave the house. Witness asked Mrs. Dixon's ser vant to take charge of her, and get her a glass of water. When the policeman came to the door he asked Mrs. Dixon if she had been drinking. Mrs. Dixon was taken away by the policeman. Cross-examined—She did not see the defendant touch Mn. Dixon. He did not push her uut of the house. She aPriin a fainting state through excitement. Basch deposed that he was Pnasian by birth, and had resided with Madame Schultz since he had been in England as a lodger. Madame Schultz asked him to select the goods required for his apartments. He denied that he touched Mrs. Dixon or pushed her out of the house. She was sitting on a chair in the hall. As soon as the word " police man" escaped his mouth, the female plaintiff got up from the chair, and commenced screaming " Murder!" The hall table was upset, and all the bedroom candlesticks were thrown down. Croneurnined—He was a captain in the Prussian army. He had been a bankrupt, and he then described himself as a merchant in the City. He did not know how much hi s creditor had been pa id in the pound. He had 1 with Madame Schultz for five years. Her husband had ben in England during part of that time. He did not take the house in Charles-street in their joint names. He, however, became security to the landlord. He did not Mach Mrs. Dixon. She came for a row, and threw herself dorm in the pas age He was 26 years of age. Madame Schnitz was between 50 and 60.

This was an action for a treach of contrwt. The plaintiff it a celebrated clown, a relation of Ms. Flexznore, and the defendant is the proprietor of Macarthy's Circus.

Croes-eiarnined—The little girl Lam bad been a member of our family two or three years at the time the Mimeos came. We were very fond of that child, and were very kind to it. Eugenia Plummer was treated with equal kindliest, and nothing was denied to her that was reasonable for a child. I did certainly "stop her beer." (A laugh.) Her mother wished her to rave beer, but I considered it was not proper for her. I generally u sed to get up first and dress Lucy, ' and during this time my husband remained in bed, and the child Eugenia with but I do not think she was ever there longer than three or four minutm. I never law my husband kiss Eugenia while she was in bed with him. My attention was not called to the circumstance until nearly three months afterwards, and yet I can remember that dunng the fortnight Eugenia Plummer wee in our home my husband did not leave the room any evening for so long a period as ten minutes. lam sure be was never absent more than two or three minutes. I will swear that be was never absent for so long a period as ten minutes. I believe that I enjoyed my husband's entire con fidence, and he never kept anything secret from me, and always consulted me in everything affecting his interest, except in reference to this trans action. When my husband received the bishop's letter he appeared very much distressed, and was about to put it into his pocket, but I insisted upon seeing it and he gave it to me. I only glanced it over, but I saw that it referred to some charge of indecent assault upon the Plummers by my husband. Mrs. Hatch gave her evidence with very great calmness and self-poseeenon, although she was evidently deeply affected at the unhappy position of herself and her husband. At the close of her examination the case was adjourned, the father of the defendant renewing the recog. miasma he had entered into in the sum of 5001. for her appearance on the following morning. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) The trial of Eliza Welemmata'', Edward Weitanutein, Madeleine Jourdan, and Herman } Fie}, for ocmspiring toge ther to obtain money by false pretences, sad also for joining to impede the course of justice by giving false evidence upon a trial in the Court of Queen's Bench, was resumed in this court. Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., Mr. Sleigh, and Mr. Poland, prosecuted: and Mr. Berjesat Parry, Mr. Giffard, Mr. Best, and Mr. Kenealy, defended. The defendant Madeleine Jourdan, who had been out on bail, again surrendered. Previously to the learned counsel addressing the jury for the defence, a record of the life of Weltsenstein, written by himself, wasr,ad. . . . . It appea red horn the particulars contained in it, that the writer entered the Austrian army in 1848 and had seen much service, but quitted in 1853 in consequence of having some dispute with the commanding officer arising out of his marrying, which took place in 1852 without the proper sanction of the military authorities. 'These and the circum stance of his having killed one of hie comrades in a duel led to his having sought a refuge in this country. In answer to the B. Mr. Stohwaseer said he had never offered to settle the action. Mr. Henesl then addressed the jury on behalf of the defendants Weltzenstein, and commenced by begging of them not to let the decision of the jury i n the Court of Queen's Bench influence them in the conclusion they came to in this matter, as the innss were different. In a criminal case the duty of the prosecution was to make out • case entirely free from doubt, and in this case it would be • bold man who could may that it was free from reasonable doubt. The prosecutor had written, and from an independent source had the history which Welt:4)o'l.in had given of himself confirmed ; and he would ask if he was not of high birth as well as the lady, and therefore that part of the ems bad not been made out. With regard to the story of the child, it bad not been shown that the defendants whom he represented had not got one. The learned counsel con tended that the whole nature of the correspondenee and conduct of the prosecutor led to an inference not to be resisted by any sensible mind that the prosecutor was in fluenced by an immoral consideration when he parted with his money ; and if so there was an end of he case. Prosecutor upon his own showing was fully aware of the position of all the parties, and it was blaspheming the name of charity to use It in connexion with conduct like the prosecutor's. Could there be a particle of • doubt that he wee telling an untruth when he denied the letter of amkpaties, and said it was a forgery? And, spin, as to the memult he complained of ; if, as he said, he thought it was a plant, why leave? and when he got to his club and was sent for, why not come back end face the accusation ? He contended that his whole con duct was such as to railse grave doubt as to hi truthfulness. Mr. Serjeant Parry said that his learned Mend had addressed them, the jury, so fully and so eloquently upon the whole subject that but little was left for him to urge upon the case generally. Still the topics left to him were not quite the same, and upon the part of Madame Jourdan he had to publicly complain of the manner in which the leadingoounsel for the prosecution had sought to prejudice the came as far as his client was concerned. He alluded to the remarks which he bad made in his opening speech about her marriage ; he should show that the prosecutor was an unscrupulous man, and his client a respectable woman, and the prosecution had not been conducted at all in a proper spirit of public justice ; but he did not antici pate it would impose upon the jury, although the charity and wealth of this great west-end shopkeeper had been so much vaunted during the opening speech. His client had no motive for taking any part in this fraud. It had not been shown that she been any gainer by the matter. He (the learned counsel) accused him of mingle, which, if not consummated, was at blest intended, and be wished to know if the sick woman re quired his &timelines, whether his (prosecutor's) wife knew of the kindness he was showing this woman. His wife might have been called, and have proved that tl e matter was known to her. The prosecutor was trading upon a false character for morals. He bad become referee in a false name, and then denied the fact. His conduct, be contended, had been immoral, and he (the learned counsel), in conclu sion, said that the jury would do well to remember that prosecutor in denying the matter would not be the first man of respectability who had so endeavoured to shield himself from expostue under the sanctity of an oath. Mr. Best, in • very humorous and energetic speech, which was much applauded, contended that the part which Frisk was shown to have taken in the matter was so trifling that it wee a part of the burlesque, which he called the pro secution to include him in the unlictment. Lady Stanley was then called by Mr. Parry, and she stated that she had known the defendant Jourdan since 1852, having dealt with her. She was a respectable woman. She introduced to her notice Madame Weltzenstein to obtain her some work. Jourdan was very charitable. Count Napoleon introduced Madame Weltrenstein to her notice. Cross-examined--Count Napoleon only knew that she was in distress. Tire evidence of two girls who had been in Jourdan's employment proved that during May and June, 1858, Madame JOlllll.lll had turned the prosecutor out of her shop. A boy named warden said that in 1858 he was page at the house in Eccleston•terrace. The prosecutor would come there three or four times in a month ; he used to ask for Madame Weltzenstein, and she used to go to him in the back parlour. A police-constable named Bell said that in January, 1808, he called on prosecutor to ask some questions about the Weltsensteins, and he said be did not know any one of the name, and when asked if he had not given them a reference for the house he ordered him to leave the shop. It being now long pest the usual hour of the court's rising the case was again adjourned. ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. —Yesterday afternoon a collision of trains took place near the King's-can station at the junction comma through the Great Northern ooal-yard with the London Railway, and though fortunately there was no at tendant loss of life, a good deal of the company's property was sacrificed. It appear, that about half-past four o'clock a train, consisting of luggage vans, was about to proceed from the King's-cross terminus to the Great Northern Com pany's List-end station at Royal Mintatreet. To do this it had to pus on to the North London line by • short junction railway, which crams almost at right angles a line lading up • steep acclivity to the coal-yard. While the goods train was in the act of crossing, a heavy mineral train coming down the decline came into collision obliquely with it, and cut completely through it. By the force of the 000C111111i011 many of the waggons were thrown off the line, and tumbled together in strange confusion, and three of them were much broken. The engine of the mineral train was also thrown off the line, and the part which came in contact with the tracks was completely smashed. The drivers, firemen, and guards of both trains escaped unhurt BURIAL UNDER DIFFICI7LTIEB.—At Luddenden, last week, was interred in the graveyard of the Wesleyan chapel, Mr. Charles Teal, of Green-hill, Bradford, in the 60th year of his age. He was a man of extraordinary stature and weight, being, up to the time of his death, on the 26th nit., the stoutest man in Bradford. He stood six feet two, and weighed 7t stone. His coffin was 7 feet 2 inches long, 2 feet 9 wide, and foot toi inches in depth. The united weight of his corpse and coffin, the latter being If thick, was 35 stone. It was found necessary to lower the body out of the window of the mom in which he died, after which it was conveyed to Luddenden in a hearse, followed by four mourning coaches. Not fewer than 15 men were requisite to bear him to the chapel, and on the way one of the massive coffin handles broke. From the construction of the entrance to the chapel it was impossible to get the body in, and it had to remain outside while the service wan conducted within. The family grave was not suffi ciently spacious, and a new one had to be prepared, into which the coffin was lowered by twelve men. - - [Advertisement}-011 THI Loss or TDIIII AND go a Teem, and as now restored by the new patent mean of seltadherton without springs. wires, orpain ful also extracting any teeth or roots, or any nful operation, by means of a soft and flexible gum, thus ensrl the most per fect self-adhealon, the result of PO years practi ce by Thomas Howard, surgeon-dentist to his Once the Arc bishop of Canter bury.

On Tueeday night a meeting of working men was held in Glaw for the purpose of expressing sympathy with, and Wring steps to render assistance - to, Garibaldi in the present joecture of affairs in Sicily. The chair was occupied by Mr. MATTHEW CULLEN, who remarked that th e object of the meeting was of deep importance, not only so far an they were concerned as working men, nor as the Britiab nation, but also as reg arded the r Zle led world—the emancipation of Italy from the oppreror He referred briefly to the state of affairs in Sicily at the present time, and showed bow it behoved them to render all &existence in their power to the general who had seen it his duty to go to the succour of the struggling people. Wh en the friends of the Pope, both in our own country and the sister isle, were doing what they could to ambit the upholders of thraldom, it surely became them—the friend, of freedom—to do all in their power w behalf of the people who were struggling to gain their liberty. Mr. Sure moved the first resolution, which was to the effect that the meeting, appreciating the efforts of the lead. ing Mittens of Glaagow in behalf of Garibaldi, pledged it. self to co-operate with them in their praiseworthy endea vor'', to advance the civil and religious emancipation of the Italian people. He called upon the working men to come forward with their mites, remarking that though 1,000 men only gave 1,000 pence, it would always show the feeling of 1.000 men In the wetter. The motion wee agreed 4i onsinimouely. A WOUING MAN from Crieff suggeeted that circulars should be sent to the working men in the proviscial towns, ealliag npoe them to take action in the matter--a sugges tion which the chairman said be believed bad been antici pated. Rev. Mr. CIIOIIIMLIT then moved as address for transmis sion to Garibaldi, which was agreed to. The neat resolution was expressive of the meeting's satisfactimi with the conduct of Loral John Russell with reference to Italy and the Italians. A Wolumila Mae, io the course of some remarks, said he had been Wormed on good authority that an Irish cler. omen in Glasgow had promised to raise a regiment of Irish Zouaves, of which he himself would be chaplain, to go to the assistance of the Pope. A committee to take the proper steps for the raising of subscriptions was thee appointed. CH AMINO-CA HOSPITAL. A fe:dival took place last evening at Willie's Rooms, -St. James's, in aid of this hospital. The Earl of Devon presided, sod was supported by the DIME of Kan. cheater (honorary treasurer of the hospital), General Walker, Mr. W. Delalleld, Mr. Wilki nson, an d a b out 150 subscribers and friends of the charity . . The chairm an , i n hi s addrees, explained that the Channg-crces Hospital was originally merely a dispensary situated in some street near Soho; but the want of such as institution in a neighbourhood like Charing-cross having been im pressed on the mind of Dr. Golding, the present resident director, and some other gentlemen, the design was formed, and in 1834 by their exertions successfully carried oat, of expanding the diapensary into a hospital, and re moving it to its present locality. It is supported entirely by voluntary contributions raiad for that purpose. During the period which has elapsed since its opening, the hospital has continued a most useful, although very nnobtraive, career; it has hadthe special adnatage of no greet founder, or large oontnbutor, but has maintained its course without incurring debt, and has obtained by purchase the absolute ownership of nearly the whole of the building now used by the hospital, and commenced the formation of an endowment fund for its future permanent support. Prom 1834 to the present time it has administered to the mate of 301,000 patients. Of those, 46,000 had been cases of accident ; 27,3E48 had been inpatients ; and 273,000 had ben outpatients. The sum expended during that period bed been 63,2081. In IM2, when the last public dinner in aid of the funds took place, a sum was collected for pro viding wards to be especially devoted to children. The wards had been bunt, but for want of means were still unfurnished and untenanted, and the object of the present meding was to obtain sulecnptions for making those wards useful for the purpose i for which they were intended, and to supply means for providing a resident medical officer, the dut:oa of which office have been hitherto performed gratuitously ; for providing a resident chaplain ; fa providing an improved clam of aurae, and for purchasing a house at the north end of the hospital, which r wanted to complete the original daign.—me Dean of lbaciarer, as honorary. treasurer, stated that he had 3,101:11. in hand towards the endowment fund.—A liberal collection was made amongst the paillasses present ; and 7algithose who had sent iontributians the same of Mr. bifiekl was announced for 100 goings. —The pro ceedings of the evening were enlivened by some excellent winging by Miss Leffler, Miss E. Lyon, sad Marra. Holmes Burgess. and OkVllO, who was the director of the vocal de partment Mr. Toole displayed his elliciency as a toast master.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Continued from yesterday's Expreat.) TB! CLEM 0? HIT. MI. HAWN. At this stage of the case the court adjourned for the pur pose of enabling the jury to take some refriehroen: m .llz their return the examination o f Mr. Hatch was proceeded with. Witte= heard nothing mom of the matter nnta the 26th of October, when he received a letter from the Bishop of Winchester, and ha • ing consulted Mr. Onalow, the governor of the gaol, be ewigned his post, and was afterwards tried and convicted. Cross-examined by Serjeaut Shoe— Witness was ordained in 1848. At that time he was thirty years old. After keying Cambridge he went to New South Wales as a tutor, and then returned to England. His salary at the poi was 2501. a year, and • residence was found for him. He had no fortune, and was entirely dependent upon hie appointment. During the fortnight Eugene, Phan. mar was at his house he was very kind to her, and she appeared to be fond of him, and generally ran to him and kissed him when she came out of school. He never scolded her or made her cry upon any occasion. She was scolded oboe for behaving improperly to a gentleman in the house. He did not wish to insinuate that she behaved in any meaner indecently. He saw nothing in her conduct different to what be should expect from • child of respectable Christina parents. He was to receive 501. • year for each child, and there was no disagreement as to the amount be was to receive when the children were taken away. Wit ness would not undertake to swear that the child Eugenia woe left alone with her mother soy part of the day on the 26th of October, except when they were in the water closet. Witness did not kiss the child in her bed more than four times. He had a distinct recollection that his mother was at the drawing-room window when the children were run- Wag after him, and he bad so doubt his wife and the French ladies were there she Oa the 18th of Angost he did take the two children on his knee, but it warn merely to tell then a story to amuse them, and be swore that no lode eincy whatever took place. When the child came to his bedroom in the morning, she bad nothing on but her night I dress, and be himself was also undressed : but, of coarse, covered with the bed-clothes. Eugenia was sometimes the bed in the position he bad stated while Mrs. Hatch was engaged in trashing the other child, Lucy. He should not have allowed the child to come to his bed if ft had not been by the express desire of her mother, as hs did sot Shish it was right. &least dhos—Thinking it wrong, why did not you—. clergyman, and • man of your age, competent to form an independent judgment—refuse to allow it to be done ? Mr. Hatch—l thought the child wan accustomed to it, and she did not think any harm of it. Ei t Shee—But if you yourself thought it was wro ng , wlsy l t a you allow it i is Mr. Hatoh—l did not think there was any absolute harm it Cromentaminatkia continued—Moat likely he Ides= the child when elle first got into the bed. He would swear = 1,2 44 that he never went into Stephanie Plummet's with nothing but his night shirt on. Witness had always been on affectionate terms with his wife, and he could lately depend on her judgment in any matter of dell- E boy casnected with her own sex. They were married at ,in August, 1846. He never told her the details of until the day that he surrendered himself, the litth el orrovember. He had previously shown her the let ter the Bishop of Winchester wrote to him upon . the sub ject, and in which he requested that an investigation should take place into the affair by the visiting magistrates. He handed this letter immediately to his wife. This letter wee received = the 3rd of October. On the Bth of October =tams maw • copy of the letter that had been written to the Bishop of Winchester by Mr. Plummer, complaining of his conduct to his daughters, and thus became aware of the precise nature of the charges that were made against him. He did not show thin letter to his wife, and his reason for this principally was that his child Lacy's name was mentioned in it, and that his wife might get into conversation with her about it. He did net mention the matter to his brother chaplain at the gaol, but he wished now that be had done so. He, of course, felt that he wanted advice, and he was on intimate terms with • great many clergymen in the neighbourhood, but still he did not mention the matter to any of them. He resigned his appointment at the poi, which was all he had to depend upon in the world, rather than have the matter investigated by the visiting magistrates. His reason for this was that Mr. Onalow, the governor of the gaol, told him that whatever might be the result of the inquiry, it would be im possible for him to retain his position with soy comfort. He now believed that it would have been much the better mune for him to have met the charge and refuted it by the evidence of the witnesses whom he knew be was in • position to produce. He did not even mention the matter to his own solicitor, and his reason was that he thought the whole thing would be hushed up. He saw, now that it was too late, that he bad not adopted the most prudent causes. Sergeant finse—Wßl you explain how you could come to the conclusion that the matter would be bushed up, and an one know anything about it, when you must have been aware that you would have to leave Woodworth, and break up you establishment, and would be bound to give some ex non of the reasons for this proceeding? . Hatch-1 did think so, and I can give no other " Z=unination continued--When he left Wandsworth he west to Poplar, but his wife did not know where he had go= to. He was aware that his wife had written a letter to Mr. Plummerbefore he surrendered, and he also knew that • warrant bad been issued for his apprehension upon this charge. He believed that in his wife's letter she implored Mr. Plummer to forgive him, and stated that be was already utterly ruined by the proceedings that had taken place. (The letter was pat In. It was to the effect that Mr. Hatch had left his home distracted ; that he had given op his appointment, and they were completely destitute, and implored Mrs. Plummer for God's sake to dorOve hire, and not carry matters any further.) While he was at Poplar, and aware that a warrant had been issued against him, he took no steps to*obtain advice, but his mind was very much distracted at this time, and he did • great many foolish things. When he was taken into custody he in quired of the officer what the punishment was for such an offence. Mr. Pratt, the solicitor to Mr. Plummer, offered to abandon the charge if he would admit that it was true and express his regret, and he refused to do so. He never made use of the " Lam mad " or " I was mad." Re-examined—He refused to admit the truth of the charge, and told Mr. Pratt so distinctly, and that he had determined to meet the charge. He was quite atupified at the charge that was made against him, and did not mention the matter at the time to any one except Mr. °allow. the governor of the gaol, with whom he was on very intimate terms. Mrs. Eerie Hatch sail—l am the wife of the Rev. Mr. Hatch, the prosecutor of this indictment I am 35 years of age, and was married to him in Sydney, in 1845, and we stayed there about a year afterwards, and then went to Walton-on-Thames, of which pariah my husband's father was vicar. I remember Mn. Plummer coming to our house on the 11th of August with her husband and Eurnis. Plummer, the defendant. (The witness then gave a detail of what occurred, subsequent to the departure of Mr. and Mrs. Plummer on the ev • of the llth August, to the same effect as her husband.) en the cab had started, I went into the drawing-room and stood by the window. My mother, the governess, and the two French ladies were also there. I never lost sight of my husband or the two children, Eugenia and Lucy, until they came into the house. They were not in the garden more than two or three minutes—a very short time. My mother called out to Mr. Hatch that the tea was wait ing, and he and the two children came in im mediately. If any proceeding each as that spoken to by the child Eugenia had taken place I must have seen it ; It could not have happened without my doing so. I remember my husband being upstairs with the two.children on the 18th of August. A gentleman named Coghlan went up to fetch them, and they came down almost immediately. (The witness then oontradicted the evidence of the defen dant in some other particulars.) It was impossible for my. husband to have gone to Eugenia's bedroom every evening during the fortnight she was at our house without my no ticing hie absence. It was at the request of Mrs. Plummer that Eugenia was permitted to come into our bed to be "petted," hut it was greatly against the wish of my Nis band. She wee never allowed to oome actually inside the bed, but only under the counterpane. Lucy used to come into the bed also, and Mr. Hatch used to make them say the first and last letter of any article in the room that he mentioned. She never exhibited the slightest symptom of fear or distress upon any occasion when she was taken into the bed. I remember Mrs. Plummer coming to the house on the 25th of August, and she had plenty of opportunities on that day of being alone with her daughter. Upon that day Mrs. Plummer said that Eugenia was betrothed to their own medical man, and th e child said, Yee ; and when lam seventeen I in tend to marry him." Stephanie, the younger child, was left with us on this night, and when Mrs. Plummer left she did so aa the most friendly terms. It was impossible for Mr. Hatch to have committed any act of indecency in our bedroom with the child without my seeing it. Mrs. Plum mer came again on the 26th, and said that she thought the thunderstorm of the previous night was a judgment upon her for separating herself from her children, and she had resolved to take them away. Before she went away she kissed me, and appeared to be very friendly. During the whole time Eugenia Plummer was in our house I never saw the slightest act of imptopt . et on the part of my husband towards her. My us handed me the letter he received from the bishop, but I did not read it, and I was not aware of the particulars of the charge against him until be surrendered himself. On the 28th of October I wrote the letter that has been referred to, to Mrs. nonuser. My husband di() not know that I wax Done to write to her, and he did not know the terms of it. I remember Mr. Pratt, the solicitor, coming to visit me at Wandswesth. He said that he wished to speak to me TRAFFIC RETURNS. I.IIIIIIATL Mee Pan Min Tenn. R.W. ° .- r dandles.
