1, father; the paper was to certify to all concerned that we were married. Mr. floras, Solicitor—lt was to certify that the marriage had taken place—merely a certificate of marriage, Mr. TATTON—That was all? Miss Turner—lt was. Mr. TATTON-...Y0u said something about a letter. Mies Turner—Yes, Mr. Wakefield remarked that the l e t ter which he had received from Mr. Grim/Itch he thought was net in Mr. G.'s usual writing, and that he must have been very much agitate/ at the time he wrote it. I remarked that I did net knew . /dr. Grimsditch's hand writing very well, but I thought it was hi s --that it was like his. Mr. Grimsditch—Did you see your uncles, Mr. Robert Turner and Mr. Critchley, enter the harbour of Calais Was Mr. R. Wakefield with you at the dose I—He was ; and I remarked to hint I thought I saw one of my uncles, but was net sure. What did he say then ?—I don't knew; but I saw my uncle Critchley immediately aftetwards, and I saw my uncle Robert speak to him, and then I was sure it was them. I told him (Wake field) so. Mr. TATTO2I- D. you recollect any expression which Mr. Wakefield then used?—He told me he would take me to the inn, as he did not chose we should meet there. Mr. Tartan—Did you then express a wish to go to them?— No, I did not, for I expected soon to go to them as a matter of course. We then went to the Inn, and Mr. Wakefield took me into Madame Qulllacq's room, and told me I must wait there, as he wished to speak to my uncles. Did you see which way be went?—Yes, he remained in the Court, walking with Mr. Percy. How did you (snow it was Mr. Percy ?—Because Mr. Wakefield had before pointed him out to me. Mr. Wakefield then came to me again, and said my uncles were gone to another Hotel, and he would go and call upon them ; but I thought he did not go for them, for I saw him again talking to Mr. Percy. Soon afterwards the master of the hotel (Quillacq) told me that he (Mr. Wakefield) had gone up stairs with the Gentlemen; I supposed he meant my uncles. Mr. Wakefield, after some time, came to me again, and said he would take me to my uncles; and as we were going up stairs, he said they would tell me something' which I little ex pected to hear. 1 was then shown into a room where my uncles were, and Mr. Wakefield then left me. He expressed no unwillingness whatever to leave me with my uncles ; I saw Mr. Wakefield afterwards. Mr. Grinssditch—That closes Miss Turner's evidence. Mr. Tarrots—She saw him afterwards—won't you ask what passed then? Mr. Grimsditch—We have ether evidence to prove that; there is Mr. Critchley, who was present. Mr. TATTOIN—Have you any questions to ask the witness? Prisoner—No, none whatever. Miss Turner now rose, as did the whole Count, and was conducted out of the room by her father. The prisoner was one of the first on his legs, and made a slight inclination of his head. For the first time he seemed affected during the examination of Miss Turner. Mr. Turner examined and deposed that he had only one child, a daughter, Ellen, who had then been present; that he was possessed of considerable landed and per sonal property, and that she was•the heir apparent to the whole of it. Mr. T. then detailed the other facts con nected with the fraud. He knew no medical person named Ainsworth, and his daughter had left school without his knowledge or consent. It was on the Ilth March he was told by Mr. Newbold he had unpleasant news to communicate to him, and, after some conver .-sation, was informed his daughter had been mart ird at Gretna Green. On the same day a letter from the prisoner was put into his hands, but the shock rendered him unable to read it till the following day. (It was produced, it was dated Carlisle, March 8). He never had any the least communication with either of the Wakefield. Witness received a letter dated the 13th March,' signed Edward Gibbon Wakefield ; wait received on the 19th March. He also received another letter on the same day, which was dated on the 14th of that month. About the 25th or 260) March another • letter, dated the 16,h March, came to band, with the same signature, inclosed in one from Dr. Davies. Mr. Grimsditch was sworn—He proved that he was not at Carlisle in March, as stated by Mr. Wakefield to Miss Turner ; nor was he ever there at any time on Mr. Turner's affairs. He had seen Mr. Wakefield write once, and had no doubt whatever that the letters of the Bth, 13th, 14th, and 16th of March, were in his band writing. The letters of the several dates were put in.and read by Mr. Griresditch. The first letter read was that of the Bth March, in which the prisoner begged Mr. Turner to suspend his judgment as to the circumstances of his marriage to " his innocent and excellent child," and requested that all blame might attach to him. His object in writing was not to attempt to defend his conduct; he had two objects in view, the first to take all the odium on him self, and the second to relieve the anxiety of her parents. The communication then proceeded to state, that Miss Turner was in excellent health ; and that the letter, which was then forwarded from her, he (the prisoner) had dictated, "for she, poor girl, knew not what to write." It also gave the address of the prisoner in Paris, Rue de is Papinnaire, No. 66. The letter of the 18th March, dated Calais, set out by stating, he could not help feeling that he ought to write, if it were only in the chance of healing the wounds which had been inflicted; and in the hope of so doing, nothing could afford him greater further pleasure, than in as.' suring Mr. Turner that his child was in good health.— The prisoner then adverted to the injury which he had inflicted on Mr. Turner and his family, which would have made eras him (the prisoner) furious under similar circumstances, but still he hoped Mr. Turner would suspend his judgment till all the facts were before him, and take the trouble to inquire after him and his friends, whether his daughter was likely to make an unhappy marriage. He hoped to GOD it might not be so ; and, at all events, he (the prisoner) had incurred the most sacred of obligations to Mr. T.'s child, who had now claims on his most devoted tenderness. He desired not to be judged by words, which it was easy to string together, but by facts. " I must tell you, that she pines to see you, and watches the arrival of every packet, as if her life depended upon seeing you in it. She is a dear, affectionate, excellent creature, and well deserves from you as much affection as she feels towards you." The letter of the 14th March, also dated Calais, stated that the engagement which he had made to go to Paris no longer allowed him to remain ; hit friend would reach there the &bowing day, and he must keep his promise to go with him to Paris. In conclusion he hoped to have a few lines from Mr. Turner, giving a good account of Mrs. T. which would almost be as gratifying to him as to poor Ellen, " who frets to learn why nobody writes to her.' The letter of the 15th March, from Calais deprecates Mr. Turner's displeasure, and hopes that nothing may occur which may prevent Mr. T.'s daughter loving him (prisoner) as she ought. He was most desirous of con cealing froinler the facts of the caac;_apd had - taken most religious care to treat her as a sister, and as such she loved him. With respect to the validity of the mar riage, and his own fate, he was quite easy, if he could but hare it in his power to afford Mx. T. one pleasant f eeling. He •' en, in pretty strong language, adverts to the erre ne delicacy which he had observed - to Miss Turner, as her husband, &c. observing,. " per haps it may be further satisfaction to you to hear, that any intercourse with your daughter has been punctiliously delicate, and that I have treated her with the utmost reserve, not merely abstaining from the rights of . a husband, but carefully guarding myself from taking any even the slightest liberty with her person; as well as from an allusion of any sort in conversation that would have been improper from a brother to a sister." In another part of this letter, which is of great length, is this passage :" I c a n per fectly understand that now your feelings are too much irritated to permit reflection. My feelings in your 'situation would amount to mad ness, and I doubt nut that, whether the marriage were good or bad, I should have annulled it by destroying my child's seducer; but I probably - should have re pented, as one almost always does, of giving way to passion. You, Sir, have a question to decide, from the discussion of which I trust that you will be enabled to banish the ruinous influence of passion. It is that of your child's happiness or misery for her whole life." The letter from Dr. Davis,, read.—lt was nearly in these words: —" Dear Sir, we have received the inclosed by the mail of this day, and are requested to deliver it to Mr. Turner. With the contents we have nothing whatever to do."—Signed—" D. Davies." Henry Critchley, Esq. of Maccle.field, was then exa mined—He deposed that he went in pursuit of the pri• soner and Miss Turner, at the request of her huller ; that at London a warrant was obtained against the prisoner, and a despatch from the office of the Secretary -of State. That he went. to Calais, in company with Mr. Robert Turner, Mr. Grimsditch, Mr. Walford, and Ellis, a Bow-street officer, and arrived there between three and four o'clock on Wednesday, the I.sth of March. On sailing into the harbour, he saw the prisoner and Miss Turner on the pier; but, before the party could get on shore, he hurried her away, and they lost sight of her. After being some time detained at the Custom House, they proceeded to Aleurice', H ael, and there beard that he had engaged a carriage to proceed to Paris, and that he was at Quillacq's Hotel, where they proceeded, and found the prisoner in the yard.— Mr. Grimsditch went up to him, and spoke to him, and afterwards they all went up stairs to him, where Mr. Grimsditch was insisting upon his producing Miss Turner, and they were warmly engaged in debate. Mr. Grimsditch said he had taken out proceedings against him, and had a dispatch in his pocket from Mr. Canning, which he produced. But the first thing Mr. Grimsditch required was that he should produce Miss Turner.— The prisoner then said, "Is she to be my wife ?" The party declined entering into that question; and Mr. Grimsditch told him, that the act of carrying away a child whom he had never seen before, by means of a forged letter, which he had in his possession, was a most atrocious one; that he had struck a blow at the peace of the family, the effects of which he could never repair, and that he deserved to be shot. The prisoner replied, that he would not attempt to justify his con dnct ; that he had a daughter of his own, and that he should have sent a bullet through the head of any one who had dared to take her ill the same way.= He then asked whether the marriage was legal ? Mr. Grimsditch told him it was not; and that there was an Act passed in the reign of Philip and Mary s which declared such a ma rria ge vo id,. an d su bj ecte d the party to punishment. Mr. Grimsditch then again demanded Miss :furrier, and was joined by Mk. Robert Muer and deponent, which he answered by again asking whether the marriage was legal? and said, if 4 she was to be his wife,it would be well for her own sakel that certain questions should be avoided. Heotsked had any legal opinions been taken ? and deponent told him, that Sir R. Bit nie, and all the persons consulted, said the marriage was void ; and that as to her ever being his wife, how could they say any thing.to that? They then insisted on seeing her, observing that " he might have made some impression upon her ;" he replied," as to that, you will find her perfectly passive, she in y think favour ' ably of me, but nothing compared with the unbounded affection for her parents. I dare say she will fly to you, and from me, when 0 . . e sees you. I wish certain facts not to be disclosed to her. Will you pledge yourselves to avoid making the disclosures or asking the questions I will point out ?" They declined giving such a pledge. He then asked if he - might be present at the interview; and deponent said to him, " I wonder, Mr. Wakefield, you should ask it; we must hear her story without any restraint. He then asked if he might see her afterwaras, and deponent pledged himself that he should. He then consented to produce her, but he expressed a hope that nothing would be said to her to make her hate him, or prejudice her mind against him, or words to that effect. She was soon after ushered into the room,', to Mr. R. Turner and deponent, and upon the impo sition bring made known to her, she was extremely indignant, and said she should never have married him, if he had not made her believe that it was the only thing that could save her father from ruin ; and when she was told that it was not a lawful marriage, she ex claimed " Thank GOD for that ! I ern so glad you ate come to take me to my papa ;" and, alluding to Wake field, she said, " Oh! he is a brute! he has deceived me I and I never called any one a brute before." After stating to her all the particulars of what had passed, Wakefield was seat for ; on his coming into the room, Mr. Grimsditch entered into a warm discussion with him, and said he should put him into the custody of a Bow-street officer. When they were talking of the le gality of the marriage, Wakefield claimed her as his wife, and deponent then said, " It is quite clear, Mr. Wakefield, that this is an illegal marriage." Miss Tur ner also said, 4 4 I am not your wile; I will never go near you again; I will go with my uncle; you have deceived me," at the same time grasping deponent's arm, and throwing her arms round his shoulders in great agitation and apparent fear. He replied to her, " You must acknowledge I have behaved to you as a Gentleman." Min Turner answered, 4 , Yes, I do ac knowledge that, but you have deceived me ; I will never go near you again ; I will go witk my uncles: . — Deponent then said to her, " Yes, my dear, you shall; and I tell you, Mr. Wakefield, I will not part with her but with my ife." Another warm discussion then took place between Mr. Wakefield and Mr. Grimsditch, which ended in Mr. G. going to the police office for assistance. When Mr. G. had left the room, a great deal of conversation took place; and he then appeared disposed to give her up, but he wished deponent to speak to his friend, Mr. Percy, which was declined.— In the course of the conversation, deponent asked him what could induce him to commit so flagrant and cruel an act, as to carry away so mere a child, whom he had never seen ? He said, 4 .. He had been a great deal with Dr. Davies's family, where site had very frequently been the topic of conversation ; she had been repre s•nted to him as a fine girl, with the largest fortune in the county, and he was therefore determined to possent, himself of her, to accomplish which be had used deception but not force. He added, that "he had never attempted any thing he did not accomplish." Witness then observed to him, that being a father himself, he might have some idea of the feelings of her parents during her absence under such circumstances. He replied, that, had he been in Mr. Turner's situation, he should have shot the man who served him so: He then consented that she should go; and I asked her, in his presence, - to go into her bed room, to take off some clothes which had been bought by him after he left Liverpool, but she was afraid to go herself, and said she durst not go without Mr. R. Turner or witness accom panying her, which they both did. She was evidently afraid of being seized by some person belonging to Ml. Wakefield. Mr. R. Turner remained with her till she had changed her clothes; immediately after which the Police officers came, and after putting several questions to her in the French language, she was told by them she was at liberty to go with her uncles; and she then departed with deponent. Mr. R. Turner and Mr. Grimsditch shortly afterwards followed them to the Hotel Meurice. Mr. Critchley's evidence being gone through, the Magi • strates ex pressed an opinion that there was already before them a sufficient body of testimony to enable them to come to a decision on the case. Robert 'Turner, Esq. said he could corroborate the affidavit of Mr. Critchley, as could also Mr. Grlmsditch, in all the general bearings of it. Mr.Gamma:cm said his object in not deposing to the same facts was, that be might not overload the case, adding," That is my case for the prosecution." Mr. TArrou—The ease against you being gone through, now is the time for you to make any observations you please upon it. Prisoner—l have nothing whatever to say. Mr. Tenons—l understood you. some time ago, to object to an answer which had been given. You may now state whatever yen wish on that point. Prisoner—l then conceived that what was written down was done incorrectly; but I perceive it has been copied by your clerk, and is quite correct. Mr. Hourmusrs—Does the answer as now written in the pro ceedings meet with your approbation ? Prisoner--. Quite. Mr. Tarroti(to Mr. Grisnaditch)—l understand you have some observations to make before we proceed? Mr. Gnisisor rcn—l have naer, Sir, on behalf of the Crown, to ask the Court ti commit the prisoner for trial for the offence charged against him, which amounts to a felony under the statute of Henry VII. As two of I the Magistrates now here were not present on a previous occasion, you will, perhaps, Sir, allow me to refer to the proceeding which then took place, and what subsequently transpired in the Court of King's Bench. I then stated— Mr. Humenerra—You had better confine yourself to what has taken place here; we have nothing to do with proceedings any where else which can guide us in our decision. Mr. GRIbfSDITCH—Very well, Sir. The statute of Henry VII. recites that ei whereas women, as well maidens as widows and wives, having substances,. some in goods moveable, and some in lands and tenements, and some being heirs apparent unto their ancestors, for the lucre of such substances be oftentimes taken by mis-doers, contrary to their will, and after married to such mis-doers, or to others by their assent; or defiled ;" it then enacts, " that whatever person or persons from henceforth caked) any woman, so against her will, and knowing the same, be felony; and that such mis-doers, takers. and. procurators to the same, and receivers, knowing the said offence in form aforesaid, be adjudged principal felons." Mr. lluatrututys—You then consider this case in point ? Mr. GRIMSDICHI do Sir ; but there is another Act of Parliament, passed in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, which renders the offence a felony, without benefit of Clergy, and so it remained till the Act of the first year of the present King, chap 115, by which the benefit of Clergy is restored, but the law is not altered as laid down in the statute to which I have adverted. There is also another enactment bearing on the offence, which was passed in the 4th and .5 l of Philip aid Mary, c. 8, sec. 5, which states, that 14 if any person above the age of 'l4 years shall unlawfully take or convey, or cause to be taken away or conveyed, any maid or woman child un married, being within the age of 16 years, out of the possession, and against the will of her father, or mother, or guardian, he shall suffer two years impri sonment, or pay such fine as shall be assessed by the Court, half to the King, and half to the parties grieved." Another part of the same Act adverts to the offence on the part of the girl, it she be consenting, and is between the age of twelve and sixteen years. I was about to say, that these were the only Statutes referential to the case; by one of them the offence being a felony, by another, merely a misdemeanor; but I stated and contended on aformer occasion, that it was a felony within the mean ing of the first of them, namely, that of Henry VII. I was then met by Mr. Harmer, who insisted that it was not a felony, and the only ground he took on which to found his objection was, that Miss T. was not such an heiress apparent as would bring the case within the meaning of the Statute, and urged, therefore, that she was merely heiress presumptive. I then, in reply, stated that even if the Magistrates were of opirion that the charge amounted merely to a rnis !cmeanor, still it was one of such a description, and so outrageous in its principle, that they, in the exercise of their discretion, 'should not admit the party to bail. They gave con sideration to the legal points which were adduced be fore them, and eventually they committed the defend ant for the minor offence; but they refused to admit him to bail, conceiving the offence to be one cf such an atrocious nature—such an outrage on the well-being of society—as not to sanction such a lenient prceed ing. The defendant was accordingly committed to" Lancaster Castle, when he availed himself of that privi lege which the law allows in such cases, applied to the Court of King's Bench for a Habeas Corpus, and was brought up there to have the opinion of the Judges on his case. It was there stated, that Mr. William Wakefield was merely a party aiding and abetting— only an accessary in the commission of the offence, and consequently did not stand in that aggravated light which is thrown on the present case. Indeed, upon that occasion, the evidence which has now been adduced before this Court could not be entered into, and more especially that portion of it con tained in the deposition of Mr. Critchley, where the prisoner acknowledged that he deserved to be shot.— and that he would carry her off at all hazard , . But now the whole of this was brought forward ; and the other argument, as to Miss Turner not being heiress apparent, must fall to the &mond. Mr: Tindal, who was one of the first criminal lawyers in the country, on the inquiry taking place in the Court of King') Bench, observed that the offence was committed within the statute of Philip and Mary—it was clearly no higher. Mr. Justice Bailey—" Why tot?" Why, said Mr. Tindal, because no force was used to br;ng it within the capital statute. Mr. Tindal quoted the case of Full. wood, which was reported in Cro. Car. 485. This case, it appears, originated in the Court of Star Chamber. Demurrers were filed, and precedents were found, some stating that it was within the Statute, and others stating • that it was without; and one case in particular was cited, that of Henry Sturgess,for carrying away Agnes Hob son, the daughter and heir of John Hobson, who was possessed of 201. a year' ; but an exception was tiken to the case, that they ought not to answer, because it was not stated in the indictment that he took her away with intent to marry and defile her. Nov, Sir, it this case bore any similitude, it might have been brought for. ward on this occasion. It Miss Turner be not heir apparent to her father, there cannot be one, f r of the party deceased she would be heir in her own right. I shall not pretend to go into the legal definition as to the description of property; and have only one other observation to make. It bad been stated by Mr. Tindal, in the Court of King's B lach, that because no force had been used, the capital offence fell to the ground; but the Attorney-Genetal very propetly argued, on the principle of constructive force, as ap plied to cases of burglary, where it had been decided in numerous cases, if a man enter a house by stratagem, the offence was as much a burglary as if he had made a forceable breaking—by force and arms. Beside!, in looking strictly at the letter of the Act, it will he seen, that there is not one word said about Ism?, but mere' y against her will unlawful.y." Mr. Grim ditch then, with great ability, commented on the evidence of Mr. Critch!ey, with respect to the expressions made use of by the prisoner, as to his determination to possess her, in despite of all consequences; and observed, that Mr. Turner had a duty to perform in pressing this prose cution, root only to himself, on account of the enormity of the outrage to his feelings as a parent, but to the public, for the. sake of justice and parental feeling. The Court was cleared, for half an hoar, and then, Mr. Wakefield was called in, and inform ed by Mr. Tattoo, that the Court had, after long and mature deliberation, been compelled to come to the determination co commit him to Lancaster Castle, to tat his trial for the capital offence, under the Statute of the 3d Henry VII. Mr. Grimtditch said, there was a trifling act of justice which he owed to himself and to Mr. Turner to explain:— Mr. Wakefield had, in a long article which appeared in the Ma null, attempted to impugn their conduct as to allowing him fadlities to being admitted to bail in this country; now— Mr. Hmarsturrs—Mr. Wakefield has already enough to agitate his feelings without mentioning that. Mr. Wakefield said he would state a word or two in reply : He had not sent any statement whatever to the Johai BA or any other Paper, nor had he ordered it to be sent there. Mr. Grimeditch.—There certainly is an article in that Paper purporting to bear your name. The commitment of the prisoner to Lancaster Castle was then handed to the constable; and after writing a letter to his uncle, the barrister, inclosing a copy of the commitment, he drove of, in custody of the constable, to Stockport. He will be sent to Lan. cuter to-morrow. Mr. Turner was bound over in 4100 to prefer a bill, prosecute, and give evidence ; and in 450 for the appearance of his daughter. Mr. Grintsditch and Mr. Critchley were also bound in 2.50 each to give evidence, as was Miss Daulby in the like stns. Mr. E. G. WAKBWIELD is a gentlemanly man, of rather a slender form, light hair and eyes, and.what the French term bet beeinte. His dress betrays a touch of dandyism. During the time Miss Tutu's& was in the room, not a single glance was ez changed between them. He sat lulling with his hand to his head, and she cast her eyes upon the ground all the time she gave her deposition. Miss Tu [Mss was 15 on the 12th of Feb. last. She is rather tall of her age,anther voice and manner are very commanding; her countenance is pale, but it is enlivened by two pie:ring eyes, and a finely,shaped mouth, with teeth extremely well formed and white, as to form a fine contrast to her ruby lips. She spoke in the most collected manner; and altogether there is something so fascinating about her, that the most favourable impression seemed to have been made on all present.—Previous to his departure, in custody of the constable, Mr. WAEUIRLD wrote a letter to his friknds, and sent a copy of his committal to his Solicitor. While walking before the door with his friend, Mr. Davies, Mit{ Twinge watched him Irons the win dow for some time, but no act of reconciliation cook place. Mr. Wakefield may be considered as a good deal like the engraved portraits of Sir W. Scott—of course a younger likeness. NAVAL IN rELLIGENCE.
