Mr. Serjeent MARSHALL prnitlisag as ✓adge. RAPE: Adjutant Jelin Faitia, of the Royal 'Marine corps, was indicted for assaulting and committing a rape oa Elisabeth Seapleford, a young woman of 18 years of age, on the evening of the Atli of No vember last, at the Marine Barracks, Portsmouth. Mr. Desuitea opened the prosecution with a very brief statement, and observed that the facts as proved would appear more strong and impressive than say thing he could urge. It would appear that the mother of the unfortunate girl was a wi dow. with three daughters. who maintained them- selves by their induatry. They took in needle work. The Primmer was a very young man, an Officer of Marines. He had mud panicular atten tion to the unfortunate Prosecntrix, and in fact bed r liard her &factions and conddence so far, that :e had often bad the imprudence to walk alone ith him. before he committed the horrid deed. It would - • appear that no fault attached to the Prosecute's • ' that she could not be charged as accessuiT + 0 the offence • but that it was cotn initted ea the pert of the Prisoner with the iratest brutality. Elizabeth Stapleferd, a moat interesting looking Girl, and with the appearance of haying been re inokably handsome, bat now apparently in a cunrumption, was then called. She was dres;M velf neat, with a large straw hat on, but she was ebliged to take it oft by the order of the Court, which agitated her very much.—She deposed, that n!le lived in Portsmouth, near the Marine Bar racks ; her mother was a widow, and the Witness and two elder sisters took in needle-work for a maintenance; she had known the prisoner about 3 months before the Btll of November, on which day she went to the poat-office in Portsea ; was re turning home in the evening, when she met the Prisoner near her mother's house ; he asked her to take a walk with him ; she consented, and they a ent to Penny-street; a heavy shower of rain Caine on, and they turned towards Barrack-street.--. She iateuded to go through Barrack and St. Nicholas streets home, it being the shortest way ; she aas of coarse obliged to pass by the Barrack-gate; when they gat opposite to, it, the Prisoner asked . her to gn oot et the rain, which the refused he thgn prevailed on her to go 'under the Barrack. _ . gate and wait until the min was over ; she walked with him under the colonnade, it continued raining, and they came opposite s passage, when lie seized her round the wait and forced her into it—she cried out " :Murder; " he shot the door, took her in his arms, and forced her up stairs ; she resisted and made a noise; he told her it was of no use to make a noise, for no one dare enter his apartments; he forced her into hia room, and rhut the door and window shut- tern. She beA•ctl of him to let her go; he took a candle, and went out of the room. She imme diately opened the door, and got to the bottom of the stairs; found the door fastened, and ronld sot open it. The Prisoner came down titter her, wired ber by the shoulders, and dragged her igE stairs. lihe misted at wrack a she coIiTA: ii erw'l o u t. The drums were beating in the barrack yard at the time. Her knee Was very much benieed against the stairs. Ile forced her again into the room, and shut the door. She went down upon her knees, in tears, and begged of him to let her go. lie said, it did not avail. She then made a great poise. Ile had, at this time, his great coat un ; he pulled it off, threw it on the floor, and her on it. She struggled, and cried out with all her strength. Ile said it, was only exporting herself, as no one dare come near his room, and then com mitted the offence. He kept her about half au hour in the room afterwards, and desired her• to say nothing shout it,- as it could not be found out. She told him she would not keep it a secret. lie said he would meet her the next evening, and tell ber what Itc intended to do. She was in tears all the time. He then kit the room with her, and saw her out of the barrack, and went about two Landred.yanls with her, begging that she would not my any thing about it ' • but she told him. po sitive's. thatsbe would rot keep it a secret. After Le left s her, she went bonze about half past nine o'clock; tried to - tell her mother, but could not told her sister of' it next morning, and her mother on the Tuesday evening afterwards; she was obliged to have *surgeon . to attend ber knte. On her cross-examination by Mr. Busanuetts, she said she had walked with the P:isoner se veral evenings before, but never later than half past eight o'clo c k ; he never took any liber ties with her before that evening; he kissed • her several times before he proceeded to extremi ties; never was in his room before; did not know what pert of the Barracks it was in ; she was in the room about an hour, the drums were beating al most all the.tinie ; she made resistance while ber strer.gth continued, awl called out murder," and for some one for tiotts sake to come to her assistance; she saw the Prisoner on the evening following, die the ramparts, from her window ; did ant speak to him ; was sure he could not see her, as she kept out of.his way; -when she got borne, she found her mother and sister at Nome ; did not eat hay • supper, but went to bed directly • when she told her sister In the mottling, she begged of her to inform her Mother, but which she did not do, and she was obliged to do it herself on Tutmlar even ing; attempted ieseveml times before she did do it, but feeling how much it would disturb her, could ant speak what she intended. Mr. Burroughs here produced a letter, which she acknowledged to he her writing. Lydia Staplefonl, sister of the Prosecutrix. posed, she was at hour- on the Stis of November, when her sister returned; she slept with her; on the next morning she appeared much agitated, aml was ervintr; Witness asked her what IT the mat ter her ? She then told her how the Prisoner had need her, and beggetl of her to communicate it to her mother ; hut she found herself priespahle of claim.; s"; and her sister on Tuesiay evening informed her mother. Witness and her mother then examined the clothes she had on, and they were then in Court in the same situation, much torn and *Sneed. The Prosecatrix's left knee was much bruised, and she had been ill ever since. Cress-eziabsed by Mr. Vett. She did not see the Prironer on the Monday evening afterwards • was not at the barracks with her mother 9 n Sunday evening; did not recollr_rt t her mother asking her sister where she was ; went to bed about in minutcs after her sister; could not say whether she was asleep or not, as she did not speak to her ; did not ask her slow, what was the • matter_ with her, from perceiving )tny thing wrong with her clothed; had not noticed them at the. time: Louisa IK.Can, the mother, deposed , that she had three daughters; saw the Prisoner often in company with her daughter Elizabeth ; spoke to him on the subject several times ; asked him was he all honour with her daughter ? kie rvsured ber, upon his word and honour, that he meant no dis honour towards her ; remembered her daughter coming home on the evening of the Bth of Novem ber, about half-past nine o'clock ; she went to look after her. being uneasy ; went towards the barracks ; did not see her ; but she was home _ . fore her, and had gone up . stairs ; went up to her, end inquired where she had been ? She appeared much agitated, and said she would tell her another time; asked her again ou Monday, the day fol lowing, but she gave her no answer ; asked her at least six times before eat told her ; perceived by the manner she was talking to her sister, that she had soinething to divulge ; premed her for an ex planation, when she informed her that the Prisoner had used her very ill, and in what mauler ; her ktitv was very atadi butt,. sad she war otherwise injured. Witness stilt for • Surgeon, who taxa innied her knee, but di.! not desire him to examine further. C'tost-eiiniimed by Mr.Buttoucas. Her daughter Elisabeth went out at five cielocit,, and did not return until after nine o'clock at neght. The Witness aid bet eldest daughter went to the barrack-gate, and inquired for the Prisoner, as she thought, if be had been there he might have heard winething of her, as they were in the habit of walk iwr tog.ther. 'Mr. ilohn Wilkinson, Surgeon, deposed, that he attended the knee of the Prosecutrix ; it was. much bruised, and it was several days before it got well ; he did not examine any further ; it was not !,•coposed, and out of delicacy he did not pro pose it. On the 13th of November he war sent. for again ; was not allowed to tnake any examina tion, but ea the representation of the mother eer dered her medicine, and she was still under kis can, and be believed she bad received a material injury. Hei a the evidence for the Prosecution closed. Mr. Holum GUS stated,.that the defence on the part of the Prisouer would commence with the Of , ficer'r reading the letter which the Prosecutrix had acknowledged to be her hand-writing. It was di rected ts - Adjutant John Fadeu, Marine Barracks, and dated Nov. 3, 1807, without a signature. The •letter, lie thought, was nearly an &usurer to the prosecution, Such a letter, written by a young woman, in en iuferior situation, to a wan in a sphere above her, almost chewed that she was reads' to fall into his anus. The kiud of language used by an indiscreet young woman to the Priiimier ' a very young man, written on the Tuesday before the crime is charged to here taken place, must give an idea of what their conversation was in the inter. mediate time between the receipt of the letter and the transaction. It was intimated that the de fence might have rested on the letter, but he was glad it did not, at it was necessa►y for Justice that a business of such a mature should be sifted and thoroughly itivettig-ited. It was a pity that a young woman of her appearance 'lmola so decidedly wish to part with that, for which there could be no adequate compensation. Of which she never could regain. Ile concluded by observing, that the question for the Jury to cou eider was, whether she was ravished by brutal force, and if they thought ►he was, they would laud the Prisoner guilty ; but if they it: might she met hN embraces half-way, they , would give their verdict Not Guilty. The Jary immediately gave their verdict-...N0t Mr. Faden attempted to adireis the Court after the Jury had returned the verdict, but was pre vented by his Counsel. THE FOREST ROBBER. Joint Pitt, aged 27, who so lung infested the Forest of Bere, and robbed almost every person travelling that way, was indicted for feloniously at saultiag John Brent, putting him in bodily fear, tuld mbbing him of a silver watch, one metal watch-chain and seal, a seven shillings piece, arid two *hilltops and sixpence in silver, on the 24th of November last, on the King's highway, in the pa riah of Warblington. William Goldsou, Esq.

Mr. Buattouous said, he expected tifat after the Court and Jury had heard that letter read, it would be unnecessary . to go into further detail ; but if the Court wished it, he had a great number of wit never:4 to call. Mr. Serjeant Man:MALL intimated, that he thought it necessary he should go into detail of evidence. Timothy Morgan, a Serjeant of Marines, de posed, that his room adjoined that of the Prisoner; there was only a slight wall between the two rooms ; he was in his room from seven o'clock on the evening of the Bth of November, uutil next morning, and he did not hear any un common noise ; and at any time he could hear persons talking in conversation in the Prisoner's room ; could even hear the door shut or open ; and if any person had called out ‘.

Witness watched them until they puttied the militia barracks; perceived they were talking very fondly and sociably toge ther. About a 'porter of tin hour afterwards, the Prosecutrix's mother and sister came to the Leer rack-crate, and asked was Mr. Fallen at home ? he answered he had gone out with a young lady under his arm. Captain Robert M'Lensl, of the Mari, es, and Mr. Satan Shutrar, Attorney, deposed, that the, had made twerimeats nn the rooms, and particu larly on Morton's, and that the 6..4 , 4 transaction cools' not ti. done in the Prisoner's room, without bring heard in :Woman's room.
