Jones addressed the Jury in support of tkeprose entioo. It was his practice, in cases as serials as the present, to open a case generally and as briefly as pos sible. The lady wbo was the sohject of the present in jury was the third daughter of Mr. Pollen, a gnatleman of property, and agent to Sir Thomas *auklin r' she h'4d !wee. on the evening mentioned is the iudictisiont, returning from•the chapel of ease at West end, and bad talked} ford short time to a Mr. Horseman, an acquaint ance of her's, whom she met on the way ;, they parted, each going a different way, and she was surprissid short-. ly after at seeing a man lying down in a deMiarrho ac costed her as she passed him, asked her for a kiesorild proceeded to take liberties with her, overpowering her violent resistance, and at length accomplishing his ont• regrow purpose. The prisoner was a Cambridgeshire man, employed in working open the new lies of road 'WI the neighbourhood, and who was afterwards hard in a place of concealment. Miss Pallen.a fine-looking young lady, aged la yeah, was examined to prove the fact alleged in the Indietmeat She related the history of her walk en the evening abe was assaulted by the prisoner; first, from the Woke* rhapol, which was two miles from her father's hanser-o The service at chapel was over about five o'clock on the 15th June (Sunday), and afterwards she took tea at Mr, Johu Kay's house, at.Westoind ; her way hosteler by a Tooth - path , on the whole ti ne of which, for two miles, there was only one house. . She met Stephen Horseman by the way. to the side of the river Washford, who was a friend of her family, and talked wi'h him perhaps for ten minutes; he was going towards Wesanowd, and they parted, their direction lying In different roads.. The prisoner and another man passed as she was eimwersiag with Mr. Horseman, going towards Blobberieelleshihw. When she afterwards advanced twentror thirty yards as her way, her attention.wu struck by soddenly coming upon a man lying on the grass, close to -the footpath ; she walked quietly on that path. She was positive the prisoner was that man (she kkatiiied him• with great egitation the prisoner, while she did so, surveying her with a severe glance;) as she passed the man. he called ont, there goes a (mole; she pushed on, and he rose up after her. Horseman was then out of sight; being frightened at the man, she looked back but could not tee Mr. Horseman; the time of evening was seven o'clock; a house wat about a quarter of a milefrom her, and in eight; she ran forward, as the prisoner was behind; and, following her, be owertoolt and stopt her, express. ing his wonder how she could stop and talk with that Juan (meaning Horseman). She told him, she thought that roan Was moreeespectable than he was; and that if lie did not desist from stopping and holding bee on the read, she would make an alarm to the house yonder, and then in sight. He said he would have no alarm made, and likat once threw her down oa the grass, by the'side of a milldam, the water of which was near at hand : he, told her he would have a kiss; and she declared he should not. 'Flu prisoner's former companion was then vowing by, and must have been previously lying on the grass. She called to this man for assistance; but he wonlidnot come. and walked away on the ro ad. She then described the further particulars of the outrage of which she bad been the victim. The prosecutrix underwent a forg crow...gamin itirm by Dlr. epltman, in which she did not vary her original statement of the manner in which her injury was receiv ed ; but the adniitted, that when the prisoner was dis turbed, after accomplishing his purpose, by two persons who accidentally passed, and afterwards sawher home to ter father's house he followed them close homewards, ri-Al•lept at his lodgings, which was close to her father's 1 4 :4,1. The rea.on of her not desiring the men to appre it mot him was fear and confusion. She was so distressed no the same evening, that she did not tell ber mother all that had happened; but she did on the following morn ing. James Browne Was nett examined.—His evidence was, that he was a linen weaver at Alenwith. On Sunday, the 15th Jon., he was passing along the path road near Ili iliherhousee, and towards that place. John Hall , was with him then. They saw, as they were crossing over some pales between the high read and the footpath, this young hay talking to young Horseman. She afterwards " dismissed" from him, and went down the path in the contrary way. They lost the sight of her as they crossed the river Data. When they saw her the second time they , were in the same field and 'close with her, and she was • oppressed" by *the prisoner, who held her down upon the grass. (:le then described the position of the parties, which corresponded with the account given by the piosecutrir.3 From the situation in which they were, lie was sue the prisoner could not see them until *Lev actually came up. John Hall. who was i.e company with the last witness, corroborated his evidence, and ti.at the prisoner said at the time be did not care a bout the matter, and he told the pi ice irbere he lodged. to which they saw him go. - Mr.. Ann Pullen, mother of the prosecotrie, appeared n the witness's box, and stilted the (go of the girl, and the story of her distress and injury, which she related on the evening of her return home. But it was not until the following morning, that she told all that happened to her. Mr. John Pullen, the father, proved the disclosure of' the circumstances to him by Mrs. Pullen on the day after the occurrence. The witeess was the acting surveyor of the new line of road, and the prisoner, ivbe was a stran ger in the country, a sort of banker, or navigator, was employed as one of the labourers. He did not know but traced him among the men. In his truss-examination, he said that the prisoner was at his work on the Monday and Tuesday -after this S:•nrlay. John Beecroft, the constable of the parish, said, he had received the warrant to apprehend the prisoner on Thursday—be found him lying down on the grass among the trees in a plantation, at Westond,.aboutthreeo'clock in the afternoon, and be asked him why he absconded from his work ? be answered, that he found himself very poorly, and was going to Wert-end to get s sup of ale. They told him that be must be frightened at something else—he answered no, he had done nothing amiss. The • itness told him if that were all, he should not have bad the trooble of looking after him there. He then said that he had been " tossicated" the previous Sunday, and knew riot what he did. James Shaw, a surgeon, proved his examination of the young lady on the Thursday, and described the symptoms oF . her injury: The case for the prosecution being closed, the prisoner,, on being toile upon fur his defence, declared his inno cence, and said be left his case to his counsel.

Cross-examined.—They did not torn his loose until they thought he could take cereal himself. Tite'parish had nothing to do with him since. Mr.JusUce HOLROTD summed up the evidence to the Jury, who, after an boor's coneultation, return.xl a ver dict of guilty. Jacob Illwehl(re, al, and Jaws Mellen 10, were sham.

She cried oat as much as she could, but they " towed and tossed her abet* so; she Gould not cry oat much." She got up, and ran dove the lane ; when the three lads again came up, and the cries was repeated in the same way. When they left hee l , she,. went home. and they ran away, one one way, and abothel : another.—it was about ten o'clock when she got home:--Nhe knew the lads before, they were alt neighboert. She Should' have told her mistress that eight, but she was-very cross at, her being out so late; and she west tha next aro/aids, be tween seven and eight o'clock, and told her mother. A war-' rent was then got for the prisoners. [it appeared that the outrage took. place at a very little distance from se 1 houses.] Mr. Mauna cross-examined the piresseatria. at great - ... -t stand isaglit; She said she went toren dire& ; dse did not , at the door before she went in. nerella she tell her teletresa Melted been standing on the door stones for tee esieetee.—. Bbe went to bed directly. When she went out in the morn ing, She told her mistress where she was bound, but not what she was going for. Rinehcliffe is a Married man : and witness knew his wife by eight, tem is a nice, pretty young woman. Martha Tinker, the mother of the prosecutes, was then. examined. who deposed as to her daughter relating the eir., eumstance to her; end to ping VI Huddergield to entitle a warrant. Mr. B. Bradshaw, surgeon, proved the injury the young woman had sustaiued. Amongst other marks, he said, abe bad several black marks on bet thighs and body, which must have beim produced by the pressure of some hardsub- ' I Mance. The examinations of the two prisoners were then pot in ; they stated, that the prosecutrix had asked them to walk home with her, and that Mellor bad pet his arm round her neck, and gave her a kiss, and had walked • 900 yards with Isis arm round her neck. llinchcaffe's examination then stated, that six men, all disguise!, when they got into Lane head pulled him and Tinker about; threw • him down, and put Ellen on him • and a ft er pulling them about for some time, they left the m, and ran away laaghing.—Mellor's ex amination stated, that Tinker had been ill-used by 3 or 4 men in the lane ; thst he beard her cry ravishment or mur , der; sad did not go to her assistance. The men were all .' disguised. This was the case for the prosecution;—for the defense, Mary Hutchinson said, it was late before Ellen came home on the 3th of May. She heard somebody at the door' ten minutes. before she came in ; the next day Ellen told it I was her—that Jacob Hinchcliffe followed her down the lane, and she stood till he came to the WWI. Another man followed after with a bundles *boat she did not know. This was at night, after she bad been at Huddersfield.

The Reverend William !Wilton, the Incumbent at Cum berrworth, where be had lived upwards of thirty years, knew the prisoners and their families; and gave them a very good character. . - . Joseph Noble and Joseph Ives (James Mellor's masters) gave the prisoner a very good character. The LiARNIM Junoe recapitulated the evidence, remark ing upon it as he went along; and The Jury found the prisoners Not Civility'. FRIDAY, JULY 1& MURDER. Margaret Parkin, aged 22, charged with the wilful muroftr of her female bastard child, at Kiagaton•upon Hull, en the 6th of March last. The prisoner was a good looking young woman, re spectably dressed. She was in tears when placed at the bar; but after the arraignment and the Coroner's in qnest had been read, she replied to the question of Guilty or Not Guilty? "Not Guilty," with a very firm voice. During the forepart of the trial. she laid her head on the bar, and appeared to be deeply affected. She was allowed a chair a part of the time; Mr. COLTMAN said, the unfortunate person at the oar stood charged with the awful crime of murder, and it Was his duty to state the facts against her; as concisely as be could, and without comment. In the month of February last, /he was in 'the service of Mr. Lunn, a surgeon of !101l ; she was pregnant, though unknown to the family, and she concealed the circumstance till, in the course of nature, she could cunceal it oo longer. On the 211th of Febrmry she was 'delivered of a male child by one of Mr. Lunn's assistants; and on the 22d, she was removed in a sedan chair, to the house'of Mrs. Fos ter, a person who was in the habit of taking in wo.aen to lie in.. She remained there till the 6111 of March. when she left to proceed to her fatlier's at Howden, as she said, in one of the Howden boats. She refused the company' of Mrs. Foster down to the boats; and she left her house about nine o'clockin. the morning. The same day a child was found, in the canal. which was net owned, I and it was buried Without any discovery being made either of its parents, or how it came by its deatE. The clothes were preser►ed, and were sees by several persons; amongst oti:erie Mrs. Faisal • and her 4sogister were either seat for, or went; aid Wty hentwill_tejy West'. then as the dollen risesee's 4.11 "*.vike I.IYA rc SAN then taken up, and identified by those tere persons ;•and immediate search was made for the prisoner, who was found in Hull. :11iehard Belcher deposed that he was an assistant to Mr. t.Leuth in February lane; proved the deliiery of,the prisoner of a healthy • male child en the 20th of Fe. fluttery, and ter illicit removal on the 22nd to Mrs. Fos ter% house. Nothing appeared in the Cross-examination but that the labour wad rather severe. ,Ile could not speak of the tionriebnient she received. Mrs. Frances Foster corroborated the testimony of the last witness as to the delivery. The prisoner left her house on the 6th of March to go to . her parents, io the boat to Howden. Both the mother anti child appeared io perfect health. Witneir knew the Child and the clothes it wore, having repeatedly dressetfit. The same ehild she sawdead,•and the tame eldthes she saw with it on the Tuesday following. She knew the child from the peculiar yellowness of the skin. On her cross-examination the said, when prisoner left her house, sis put a handkerchief over the child's head ; Witness then tool the ptisoner'a large shawl, and wrap ped over the child; and it heing very cold,when the pia woes left the door, she also put her pelisse over the in fant. and wrapped it close to her breast. • The distance from witness's house to the place where the boats sailed from was between three quarters of a mile' and a mile; she went away in a great hurry to be in time kir the boat; and the way in which that child, of hfortnight old, was wrapped up, and the harry id wltich the another walked the three qttirters of a mile, very possibly might have occasioned its death. She was very cheerful the Morning she left witness's house, and ate a hearty break fast.- When the constable called to make inquiries re specting the child's clothes. she had not the slightest- conception that prisoner bad murdered her child- • ) Mary Ann Foster, the daughter of the last wrested; confirmed her mother's evidence, with respect to the residence of • the prisoner for l days in her bonsai. during which the club' was very healthy, and the pri soner in as . good health and spirits, as could be.expected; mildest. with respect to the clothed' and Child found being those of the prisoner. • Ow her cross-examination, she said, during the 12 days the prisoner was at their house, she appeared a land humane girl, and fond of children. .oho Wassey, who lives at Yarmouth, was at Hell on Thursday. the 6th of Marsh; when in company with Ilaistuel Sheperdson, he found a child in what is called the Spring Ditch. It was Seating on the top of the enter; with the face downwards. He went for a COD. Stable, and left Sheperdson with the child. The child was doating when found, and part of the flannel was dry. Wassey's evidence was confirmed by Samuel Sitep- Odeon. When the former came with the constable, they put the child in a basket, and took it to the Man-- sion House. The child was quite cold when taken out of the water. . [The prisoner here fainted away, hod was obliged to betaken out of Court. She was sabsent about twenty minutes. On her,return shit was again accommodated _with a seat.] John Ward, Mayor's officer, and constable of Hull— Was called upon by John Wassey, about ten o'clork on the 6th of blarch; he accompanied Wassey to Spring Ditch. The child was taken to the Mansion House. It was examined by Mr. Craven, a sirgeon ; the next day - au inquest was held, and the child was afterwards bu ried. I have kept the clothes in my possession. The same clothes were afterwards shewn to Mrs. Foster and her daughter; and after they had seen the clothes, I went with the mother to the burial ground, where t he child was taken up and shown tar her. The prisoner -was apprehended the day the child was shewn to Mrs. Foster. I Ile case here turned on a point of great curiosity.— The ditch in which the child was found was between Hell and Sculcoates ; no decisive evidence was produced to show whether the ditch was wholly in Hull, or partly is Sculcoates ; one witness (John Ward) said, he always understood that the boundary ran in the middle of the ditch ; but, admitting that to be the ease, there was no evidence to show either on which.side the body was put in, or where the death took place, admitting that it did take pace from drowning, and not from suffoca tion ; for, when the child nas found, it was floating straight down the ditch, rather nearer one side than the ether. All the proceedings had been had in.the town wad county of Kingatomnpon-Hull, and the venue was laid there, the prisoner being removed for trial by a writ of habeas corpus to the Castle of York. It was, therefore,necessary, that the death should be proved to have taken place in Hull. His Lordship, after et:in tuiting several authorities, reserved the point for the . present. and the case went on. 'Mr. Craven, a surgeon, was called upon to examine the body on Thursday the 6th of March; found no marks of violence upon the body . ; on the following day "he opened the body and examined it. In the month and stomach he found a quantity of milk. The child, in his lodgment, died of convulsions; if he had found the child with its head under water, be should have concluded that its death was caused by drowning. By Mr. A lICHDOLD.—Any kind of suffocation would produce the same symptoms. In drowning, great exer tion is used to inhale the air ;has never seen the stomach Of a drowned person. Thinks that water would be in the stomach of a drowned person: Re-examined.--A child of a fortnight old would not make much struggling ; does not think the position of the body, whether down or up, would make much differ ence as to the quantity of water received into the stomach; he found io water in the stomach ; the milk was cove- Wed ; the milk in she mouth was very much like recent milk; is of opinion that the symptotriA he saw were such as would be produced by putting the child into the water. Mary Anne Foster was re-called, and identified the child's cap, night gown, and swaddles. . George Codd—The Spring Ditch is the boundary be tween the County of Hull and Yorkshire; he can speak positively to its being so for half a mile from the cow ' mencement. The case for the prosecution closed here. The prisoner being called upon for her defence, stated, that she left Mrs. Foyer's, on her journey to her father's residence, having, from the coldness of the weather, wrapped up her child warmly, hurrying to the boat, and hugging the child, as she proceeded closely to ber breast. When she arrived at the place, finding the child very still, she opened the clothes,! and discovered to her hor ror that the child was dead . - In the agitation of her feelings, unconscious of what she was doing, she laid the child down, and returned to the boase of a friend at Whitefriars, where she remained openly until she was arrested. Mr. George Champneys, surgeon, deposed, that he , bad been for fifteen years surgeon to the Castle, in York. Witness had much experience in drowned cases; in all his experience in such caws be found water in the sto- mach of the drowned person ; thought himself qualified. to form an opinion from the statement of Mr. Craven, the former witness. . He considered it very probable that the coil l died by suffocation, from being over-wrapped, in the same way. as if it'were overlaid. Crost.exansined by Mr. Asoaasow.—He would not say that the opinion be delivered was a decided opinion in the profession; it was, however. his own impression. Mrs. Taylor, a lady-like looking weasan, stated, that the prisoner lived In her service one pa road a hair s s he found her extremely kind tockildrew...off-ef a benseee disposition. Mr. Jdotiat Hos.asirD thee seamed- lip ovidemoit. and did not copelads his charge till dmpedsokirbes. • 0 r... , the Jury, without r e t iring, delivered a wordier - F .— We This calk ocCiipied the Court the whole of the day. POLICE. GUILDRALC—A chimney sweep lad, about 15 years of sr, named John Tates, was charged before Mr. Alder moo BROWN, on,Satarday, under the following eircurze , itances: Mr. Forsyth, a clieeetationger, No. 6, Broadway, Blackfriars, while sitting at his dinner,in a room behind the chop, about two o'clock, on Friday afternoon, heard a noise at the counter, and on going into the shop, found the prisoner standing near it; who, on being questioned, said, ha merely came in to ask if he wanted any chimney swept, as be did little jobs of that sort on ha own count. Mr. Forsyth observing him hold his arm in an awkward position, pressing against hip body,* detained him, and took from his arm-pit two ss. papers of half pence. The boy pleaded great distress. and solemnly declared he hid taken nothing else; but on further search, two other 'five shilling papers of halfpence were found in his hat. There were live papers of half. Ipence in Mr. Forsyth's till, four of which were miss tog, and .be was able to identify those found on the pri soner, from the -peculiarity of the paper in which they were arrapped up.

The contractor, Mr. Sinnott, attended in snppnrt of the charge. and expatiated it leri,,th on the many frauds the poor-contractors are subjected to; and baring so done, he coiled fur the infliction of the full penalty, as a salivary wavaiag to folks in general. On the other hand, Mr. Edmund Collingridge, refiner, of Wilderness Row, Clerkenwell, said the prisoner was hi s servant, and was employed in carrying out shop• dust, or sweepsfrom the premises of Mr:Phillips, who is a coach plater. The duet he was ao carrying out was not " regular rue ashes," but dust containing many va luable parlicles of silver and other metals, and lie par chased it foe the purpose of washier and refining it. Mr. Phillips substantiated this statement, and the-Ma gistrate baying inspected a sample of the article in ilia pate, decided that it was not ashes but dust, or shop sweep. Ines ;and thereupon dismissed the complaint. .LAMBIRTII-STRRZT.—Saturday, an Irish laboneer, named gickarrt Colbert, about 30 years of see, working In the East India Docks, was charged w!th violating the per on of Mary Purden.

Mrs. Purden replied that she caused the prisoner to he apprehended about six months ago, but that was far stealing some gold ear-rings and oth..r articles of jewel lers'.
