Hr acid he had is great inclination to enlist into the regiment to which lie (Serjratst Farr) belonged; that he had been is. his Majesty's service before ; was tired of working at Ins !lade. and he believed that lie never should be eontfirt• aide again till he was a soldier: for formerly, when he be• longed to the 131lt Light Dragoons, lie had several favourite females at one time, but lime: ly that %sae not the case, and Ile thought regimentals had a great effect in winning the affec tions of ladies. The Serkent tools 11:m before Lieut. Hick man, la approval, .11111 , 1 afterwards he gave him ls. as enlist ing money. Dean then aecompanied Serjeant Farr to his qoarters, st the Ship, in Willi -street, and theme he wrote the subjoined letter. dated Ott. 14 .1-- " DEAR JOSErn-I shall rot be able to come home to•uight. for lam engaged upon some otb •r business. You need not be alarmed about my absence, as I am er.deavouring to procure a situation. I wasv.ent by Air.

" Mr. Williams, Engraver, 5, Church rcer. Aldgete, WhitechapeL" The above letter Dean gave to Serjeant Farr to pnt in the post office; and after taking supper, lie went to bed. On the following morning he went to the York Hospital. and was there itispeeted by the Surgeon and passed. He went from thence to Oneeiesiptare Pollee Office, and was attested be fore the Magistrates. Tile Serjeant paid him the usual tuns, aunt after he was sworn he went to the Rollin Hood, in Duke street, Westminster. He remained drinking with the fler jeatit and others until nearly five o'clock; the Serjeant and Dean left together. Dean said that he had some linen at his washerwoman's, and the Serjeant told hint that it would be as well if he could procure a shirt from her to put on to go to the Colonel's next day for his inspection. Dean said that lie would go to her, and went down Cockspur.street. Dean insist have gone, when hue parted from the Serjeent, direct to the house of Mr. Halbert, fur it appears that he arrived there before six o'clock. Alter Dean had committed the murder, he went to the Ship, in Wardour-street. Oii his arrival Serjeant Farr asked him if he had got his linen from his waslirrwoutan. He replied, that she had not got it done as he had expected. 'Flo. Ser jeant asked hint to drink some beer, which he did. Dean then called for a pint of porter; he placed himself beside Farr, and entered into conversation with the persons in com pany, and seemed as teach at ease as he had done during the former part of the day, and did not betray the least derange ment of mind. He informed the Serjeaur that he visited at the Grapes, in Church-row, Aldgate, and lie expressed his afiretion for the landlord's daughter; but he did not say one word about their having quarrelled. On the Saturday (the morning rafter the mustier) he rose at eight o'clock, and the Serjratit lent him a clean shirt to appear in before the Colo. net; but in consequence of the Colonel's illness, his inspec tion was put off till the Monday. At teu, un Saturday, Dean went with the Serjeant, and saw the Guards parade in the Park, and there passed his opinion upon their evolutions.— Alter the suldiess were dismissed, lie went to the Robin Huod, and thetice to the Serjeant's quarters in Wardriotr. street ; he %cut to bed at eig,,lit o'clock, and rose on the following morn big bcfore sewn, went into the tap-room and asked for ilie newspaper, which lie reed, and inane Jiately went tip to his room, and did not come down again for a considerabie time. Towards evening lie sat dim it in a dark box, and went to sleep, and was awoke the landlord, who advised him to go it) bed.

On Nlonday morning, Dean arose at shoat half past seven o'clock, has ing agreed to wait for the Serjeant to accompany him to the Colonel's. A little before 10 o'clock Deists bor. rowed three halfpence from the landlord, for the purpose, as he said, of listyti.g soma tobacco. Dean then left the house, and was not seen afterwards by the Serjcant, who came at the appointed lime to meet him, till lie was in custody. Dean bore an e‘eellent chat acter in the former regiment to which lie belonged; his father is a respectable farmer resithug *bout seven miles from Bury St. Edmund's, and to procure lils discharge paid, about two years ago, 401. tile two substitutes. WE,'"T KENT QUARTER SESSIONS. John Curti., who hail been out on hail. appeared, charged wills Wieners of a complexion too (task almost fur conception. The indictment contained several c. 1111 l to, severally charging him with an assault on Mary (Livia Turner, a child, with an inteut to violate—with an assault, with an intent to gratify his inordinate lust—to dal:, her I and injure her murals— with all assault on her person—:end wills indecently exposing his 1,..e.0n tit the said Mary Olivia Turner. Mr. Adolphus a d dressed the Jury in this case. Ina speech replete with feeling and energy. He stated the following tact.: —Mir. Turner, who is a timber nsitater's il"ighintii iu the Hoc k - yai d of Wooli. itili (which situation he has held /ill' 211 'rot's), hod Lag been in habits of the limiest intionac, wills the defendant, whit was overseer isa the saw yard. the latter, annul liner, year% ago. went to Alr.

He had Iwo children, and his wife was at the Point uflying.iii, and he could pruritic no h.abitation in which he might place his family. Mr. 'lnciter, impelled by friend* .hip, took him into his house, l Mrs. Cortis's arelluelw. meat hod talon placo, Instead of being guileful fur this act of 1411.114411 p, the defendant ;teemed a hoe of conduct the most dia bobcat that can he courtiVell.

The chad, pH:rented by the de- NOV t fendatit's injosuctions,at first mentioned (beanie to no one ex slept Miss NI uskett, a young female companion, a little cider than herself. 't hat young lady. tit the expiration of two t cars, made inquiries of Mary Olivia Turner as to whether the de fendant continued Ins abominable practices; and being informed that he did so, she, being; by her own advanced age become aware of the evil tendency of the defendant's en urine!, told the story to 4 woman, who very properly commuilica!od it to the child's purents.—The father was at first inclined to bush up the matter, to prevent a public exposure of his child; but it being known to two or three persons, the *wry soon became a general theme of conversation. The Dock yet d wits placarded, and the defendant was universally execrated as the nionteer of the age. The father, by this unfitritinate pub. licity,feltmouipelled to bring the matter into a Court of Jus tice, thonab it was with the greatest pain he did so. In the course of his narrative, the Learned Gentleman made many observations no the several parts of the case as they arose.— lie said, that he was addressing an assembly of- Christians ; lie need not tell them, that man is born in 'in. but regener ated by baptism. By that Holy Sacrament,.a child is tenth:r ed pure, and washed front the original sin in which it a as con ceived and born. The man who could step forth to coma miuste a child so regeirrated—to defile its pure mind—to break down the moral p r i n cipl e — was gu ilty o f * crime of the must diatiolical allure that could be imagined. It was the act of& demon. The defendant had been guilty of that crime. In many other criminal cases, the remembrance ola man's guilt might die away, but the wickedness of the defendant's euntlect was stick, that nothing could obliterate it—even the flood of time could not wash it away. His offence was attended by every possible aggravation. He was a married man, and had two children of his own—he was in the house of his benefactor—the object of his brutality was the child of that benefactor—he hitch by a series of acts, doting a long period, dune all in his power to defile the mind of all infant-4 : to underotineerery feeling ofmodesty, propriety, and more. lity, which it is for the welfare auti happiness ofsociely should. be inculcated i,t the mind of a female. He could not tell what defence would be set lip for the conduct of the defends ant. It might be said that the behaviour of the child was improper—that her keeping the matter so long a secret int plied consent on her part. It might be attempted to show that she was guilty of levity. Bat suppose all that was proved, how could it extenuate the conduct of the defendant ? If she had been guilty of improprieties, who was the cause of those improprieties? —the defendant; he who had by his nac,aeous criminality poisoned her mind, and led her into the paths of immorality. As to her consent, what could lie drawn from that in favour of the defendant? In law she could not consent ; she was an infant under ten years of ave. She knew not right from wrung, and could not be sensible of the evil ten dency of the deleuilattes acts. !here was a man in years seducing a child to conseut to ants, ,he criminality of which her tender years prevented her limn conceiving. The Learn ed Gentleman said, lie remembered an observation minute by a late Judge, whom he always quoted with pleasure and ho nour, not more on account of his legal knowledge than for his exquisite acqnaiiitance with the human heart, and human affairs—lie meant the late Chief Baron Alacdonald. The observation lie alluded to was made in a ease of seduction. where the defendant was an officer, and the victim of his St. duetion a female allow 14 years triage. It was attempted to be set up as a defetice . , that the girl had been guilty of great levity of conduct ; amongst other things, Ili. owing stones at the defentletit's window. His Lordship said, that such a defence was a very oinjustijiable one. 'lke girl was but a child : her acts ought to have been considered by a man as those of a playful child; and he' ought not, as a Wall, to have condescended to agree to her seduction. In the case he hail just alluded to the girl was 14 years of age ; iu th- present instance, the child was under 10 years of age ; she could not consent in the eyes of the law, and her silence could be no palliation of the defendant's offence. Mr. Adolphus, having concluded Its address by smite animated observations on the criminality of the defendant, called . . . . Martha Oli via 'limier, the object of tine defendant's bruta. lily. She was an interesting child, about 13 years of age, and gave her testimony will' great precision ; and from her an swers, evinced a clii,ideralde degree of intelligence. Iler evidence went fully to prove the facts stated by Mr. Adel. phew ; they were so inconceivably disgusting, that, as we be fore observed, a repetition of them is impossible. It appealed, that the defendant did not perpetrate the actual criine fur which so many men have suffered the extreme puilislimen t of the law : but his conduct towards her, from the age of 10 years up to Judy last, was, perhaps, more demoralizing —more pernicious to the mind of the child, than an act, the repetition of which, by its speedy detection, wouid have been prevented by the punishment of the of f ender. To add to the guilt of Curtis, it appeared that he lead not confined Isis criminality to Miss Turner, but had moue occasion scand.ilously exposed himself to her, in company with his own children. Miss Musket:, a young lady of 17 years of age, was mat called, and deposed to the coonnuaication of Curtis's conduct biing made to her by Nlisa Turner, two years ago; and of her inlimning the child's parents of the circutiretunce in July lust. Mr. 'Turner, a very respectable looking man, the hither of the child, was next called. He ilcixtsed that, previous to this horrible discovery, he and the defendant were on terms of the closest Mend. ship. they huvt.;i: formerly been wo bet vice together. Ile was informs ed of the defendant's vile conduct on the evening of the 6th of July. The next day he went to his house, and charged him with his crions sanity. The defendant acknowledged that he had acted improperly. too expressed great contiition fur what had passed, offering to make any reparutam in ,his power. Witness told him, that the injury he had done to him by the dotruction of his child's purity and inr.ocenct, was buyond the reners of reparation. After loading him with re. proaches, be left the house. and had not spoken to tile defendant since Chet day. Witness, in toe first ia,tienee ' resolved to bring the 06. tender to Justice. but his vsita preva i led unhisis to a'oandod his 'men. tion. she being at the time in a state of great nervous debility (to which she was occasion.slly subject), and declared that, to have her child exposed in a Cour: ssfJustice, in such a case, would deprive het of reason. The matter has since become so public, that he was is.. ducat to take the necessary steps for the punishment of the offender. The Jury deliberated hsr a short time, and returned a verdict of.— Guilty of the assault with intent to violate—which was. in tact, a sensict of guilty on all the counts of the indictment. Tue Karl of Koniney, the chairman, in passing thesentence of the Court on the defandant, ohs Teed. that he had been found guilty of an off ice of 4 far more criminal nature than Ordillialjy rattle before a Court of Quarter Sessions. As a legal offenc e , it was one of a most serious nature, and in a moral point of view it was almost the worst that could lie committed. lite conduct was attended by every circumstance of aggravation; he had injured his benefactor, and. having a fasnily of ids own, he hail endeavoured to elict the de struction of all moral principle in the mind of the child art him who had ever treated lam us a friend. The innisiinient which the Court had it in as power to raffia was very inadrapiate to the defendant's guilt, but his Lordship ho,setl, that toe mipnsonment lie would u. dergo. would brio.; him to r.O: coon add repentance of his csiinc.— Ilia Lordship two acids:need lain to—two year.: imprisonment .0 Maidstooe Gaul ll k.
