COLLIN,. We have had very* frequent occasion to nodal ; this cause in out report of thepioceedings in equity. On account of the ineressing expences of this ga(ion, instead of referring • variety of items of account to the Master, it was deemed prudent to 'await the deiision upon them to the two junior Counsel in the cause, who now appeared to state before his Lordship a particular artiele'whith they did not think it right to allow to the Father, with out the express sassetion of the Court. Mr. PIRCLVAL lamented that a Matter of so much delicacy should be so often adverted to in public; the item to which this difficulty arplied was a sum only of eel. As the sums to be allowed by the Referees were only to be those applied to the maintenance of the children, they did not consider themselves authorised in placing this to the credit of the plaintiff without his Lordship's express per. mission. Sir SAMUIL ROWILLY was somewhat surprised at this objection. The most serious consequences most have bees- felt by this young gentleman, for whose use this money was advanced, if the paternal solicitude of Mr. Chasobenbed not interposed on mob an *raglan. s.

The I,ono COa ICILLOS. commended the pro. dense of the ponies in placing the business in such hand's ;appeared of the principle by which the Gen tian/abed been guided in this particular: and de_ dined interfering with their judgment. He said, the whole of this afair exhibited a most 'dieting Often of the versatility of human stilts; just at this moment the gratitude of the country was dis played to the illoitscloui grandfather of these young portions (Lord Roontv), who had adorned the, annals of his country by one of the Most brilliant ' ) olitiories ili the per:matted catalogue of our naval vi&ories.

Wito only question in the can was whether the plaintiff had a right to charge for th e whole bulk so lawg as there remained One quartet upon the pre tties. I To simplify the ease, the defendants, after Moving the wheat as described, drew from it, in the onion of she first. nibinh, near* tnio.thirds of the Ws k, and yet it was near six months before the whole was tanised of the premises; the question, therefose, was,, whether the plaintiff wasindorised to Chirp for di, tubule balk &riot the whole of the penal I To prove that such haribiiit the ens. tom of the trade, several granary keepese were called, among whom *ire Messrs. flatikih, Jacques, and Whitehead, who all agreed, that Ir a merchant hawed tow quarters of grain, sag plunild remove boo of them the succeeding week, yet if the other moo, or any fractional pot of them, should remain upon the premises for sex months longer, the granary keeper hada right, agreeably to' the anti= of the trade, to charge the original bulk pp to the last period of delivery • provided, at the Am time, that such merchant ;hould not in the lateral h ave ordered his wheat to be freelaigg or, in other words, re.measured ; in which case a new Jeanne would be entered into, and the original wt. dertaking be void.

PQOLET stated to the Jury, that this was the most serious ea* which had come before them during the present Assizes, inasmuch as it was not only of itself a most heavy offence, but there were also ciredaistances of peculiar aggravation in the conduct of the prisoner. The prosecutrix, he said, was shoot the age of so years, -and. having been left without parents, she was brought up at she charge of the parish, and' at the time of the commission of this offence, resided in the poor-house, at Bishop, Stortford. The prisoner was her near relation, her first coatis, and resided in the same parish. It mould appear by the evidence, that this at of his was not codtmitted either in the insensibility of intoxication, or by the sudden explosion of the passim., created by unsought opportunity, as was sometimes the case; but he coldly and syste. matically planned the deed which he afterwards carried lame execution. The girl being in the poor-house, on the 9th of June, the prisoner sent for her to the Cherry 'free public.bonse, in Stortford, and told her he had got her a .. , n place, as kitchen-maid, at Squire Heath's, at stead. The girl said she must go home ap ; leave to go them. He accordingly a . her to the poorhouse; and told the same story se Mrs. Serjeant r die Mistress of the house. M. Serjeant obseived, that she thought the girl wade' harldly suit the place, as abe had not been at serviee, lie replied, that she would do very well, for hot . aunt worked there. and would intuit her. MIS. Serjeant agreed to let her go on trial, and if she was not approved of, the prisoner undertook to bring her sate back again. They then set off together to Stanstead, about seven in the evening : their way' lay across some fields, and on the skirts of a woo 4 called Eight Acres Wood.—When they approached' the wood, the prisoner began to take indecent H. betties, which she resisted. He immediately seised her by the arm, and dragged her into the woods he there threw her down ; she struggled mad, screamed until her strength was exhausted, arm which he effefted his. purpose. He kept her in the weed for two hours, and compelled her to submit herself to his puree a second time ; which being done, he left her alone. She wandered about the wood the whole night, until day.light enabled her to find her way out. She then saw some men at work in a field, who dire led her to a neighbour. leg cottage, in which a relation of her's lived, to whom she related the treatment which she had re. Mirk% and the next day the prisoner was appre. blended. Elizabeth- Lincoln, the prosecutrix, proved the &Os is Mr. Pooxse had ; stated them. She was a round-faced country girl, and appeared greatly distressed on giving her evidme. Mrs. Sesjemmt io the Mia t keipi. of the workhouse, proved that tba.prisostr wimp ana tachid the prose. cutrix in she ittwintar that hadheen stated ; and that When . she came .oak the aces oar & she subbed bit terly, and said Thosnyeen.had !limed her. Elizabeth nape, gthe women to whose cottage abe went thetweatatoraiog o said, that when she came there, she told ber that 'Chomps= had ruined her ; she s obbed a groat deal, and bad her legs scratched, and torn by the bumbles.
