The indictment was only for the misdemeanor, the Grand Jury hating thrown out the bill for the capital Wiener. Mr. }Wilcock stated the case. Eleanor Mercer, a very in teresting little girl, stated what happened to her with great clearness. The prisoner wet her on the road near }Holey, en the 261150 f March, and after enquiring the way to the next pub lic house, be pulled her into a shippon (a shed for cattle), and there accomplished tis brutal purpose ; and he stopped her mouth with hay , on coming out she met Betty Oakes. to whom she told what had happened to her, and the priaouer was taken into custody. 111 r. Ashworth cross examined the witness, but she did not vary in the slightest degree in her evidecce. Betty Oakes and Alice Mercer, the child's mother, proved the complaints made by the child, and the situation in which she had been found. Mr. Howarden, a surgeon, deposed to the state in which the child was found, after the abominable usage which she received from the prisoner. Mr. Ashworth defended the prisoner at considerable length. and argued with much ingenuity ou the improbability of the crime having been committed under such eircumatauceS. Mr. Baron Wood was about to 113t11 up the case, but the Jury declared themselves satistied, and instantly fulled the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Baron Woo—" A very proper verdict, Gentlemen."

N e had made inquiries of her as to what quantity of work she did , she wove two yards and a half a day of fustian: She was about ten years of age. That was not a proper quantity of work for her age, even if she was well and hearty. She was unfit for work of any kind. I told bins so. He said he hail put her to bobbin winding, but she was too weak for the child, being a lusty child, sod she preferred weaving. I asked her to weave and she did, with the greatest exertion, but with the greatest difficulty. I took her up in my arms, and thougld she was not 201 h. weight. John Cay, overacer.—She appeared in a very emaciated state. unlit for labour of any kind. Wolfenden said she looked. badly 1 1 when he took her an apprentice, but he had been told by the OV era of Leeds that she had been abort of meat, and if he would take her she world come round. I went again to see her on tlis tith of July. She was at a winding engine, quite in a wont out state. Wolfenden seemed very willing that the in denture should be cancelled, and to give money to the township for the purpose. On the Idth she was taken to Rochdale. — The magistrates ordered me to take -.are of her, and that Wok I ',deo should pay the expences.
