(This was on the eight the Royal Circus was burn^d). She went !ionic, and soon atter the Defendant sent a young woman to inform her he wanted to speak to her. She accordingly went nut, without her bonnet, and they walked together as far as Pimlico. Four of them were together at this time, and the Defendant seemed to wish her to turn with him; and, while the rest went to the fire, the De fendant and she were left together. Ile then attempted to take same indecent liberties with her. at the same dine making use of very improper ee pressions. Sh screamed out loudly, and a woman came up, upon which the Defendavt let her go ; she returned home, holted the door after her, and went to hed. The oe/indent aforwaris came by, whistling. It was about one or two o'clock in the meaning when she :eached home ; her father and mother were in bed ; the Awn' was on the latch, and a gentleemmen who slept with her iet her in. The Detendant was an intimate friend of h,•: bre ther's, and she hod known him a lied:.

She went to a second pahlie-house, and had a glass o rum, but was nst sure she took any gin also. They likewise went to tie warcli-hoese, when the publicans were all shut up, in order re get sum., li quor, but came away without any. They ropied for some time, talking at the Red I.ion„ She was not drunk, but s , the' iod knew witat she was about. The girl who was :.1 their company she laid known fir four years, ant.: heard she had a bad chareaer, and was a woman of the town. An old woman deposed, that on the fright of the fire at the Circus, the noise of the drums alarmed her ; she got up to the window, and heard& female voice crying out, and making use of some passionate exteess'o is; a man's voice answered, hut she could not tell what he said ; she called out " what is the matter r' as loud as she could, anti they ran away. Mr. ALLEY. for the Defendant, add: essed the Court and Jury in a very able speevh of great length., . John Nightingale, and another yonng man, who were of the pally, on the night already mention -d, stated, that the Prosecutrix was with two other young men, when she perceived the Defendant corning up. She ran up to him, threw her arms about his neek• and said, " D—n my eyes Jem, Warwick, come and give us a drink." Tuey had drank ale, porter, rum, and gin, in the course of the night together, of which the Prosecu trix partook her fair share. She Appeared to be in toxicated, and repo 'redly asked Nightingale, could he make it convenient, as his wire was abroad, to l et h e r a nd Jem Warwick have a bed ii. his house tor the night. They had heard her spoken of as a girl of loose char.oler. The CHAIRMAN shortly charged the Jury, who instantly brought in a verdiCt of acquittal.

On the day stated in the indictment, aecording to the evidence I the Prosecutor, three sailors came down the street, and turned into the Prosecutor's shop, in order to have the necessary operation of shaving performed, when, at that very moment, the Defend alit crossed the street, and, addressing the jolly tars, said. " Come, my lads, I can shave you better:* At which the sailors went over to the Defend era's shop. Nettled at this, the Prosecutor crossed the street, and accused the other of taking away customers fauns a neighbour ; and having detnenstraied with him upon this subjell for a 'short came, he returned home to his mystic ditty. In the evening, the neighbours were eidiredoo! them strongly ; some abuse was renewed on cacti Side the parties met half way in the street. end the Defend ant struck the Prosecutor twice ; his wife came to his assistance, and the Defendant bit her arm. In answer to this, the Defendant (who was an oi :nor. and had previously told the Court, that he a.,:ted as his own counsel) said, that the Prosecutor had abused himself, his wife, and daughter, vei y much ; be told him he was not fit ro hold a candle to him, that he never was in the Birdcage-walk, nor had ever been transported for stealing a great coat, and many other opprobrious eipr. 'thong relating to his wife ; he denied having ?track the Prosecutor, but, on the contrary, the latter gave him a blow in the stomach, tram which he suffered severely. To this the Prosecutor replied, that he accused him of taking his customers, but did not say one word of such ctriimed loppage, and only went over to a s e , l9olistrat. with hint. Ihe Defendant made a long harangue in his de fence. Ile said the three sailors were his old cu.- towers, and he only spoke to them in their own . . tongue , (Danish) ; they all k::ew him, ar.d czMe volunrari:y to his ship.

Mr. Shaw's Szrninary. at Edmonton : the Defendant, Carpal', seas the French Assistant, and Master Connop one of the Pupils of the School. The Prosecutor intimated to the Court, that he shoull ple.sd his own cause ; his attorney was indis posed, and he could I , lof afford to emplay Counsel Oa the Saturday mentioned in the indi,2ment, some of the young gentlemen of the schtail, by way of Punishment, were ordered to get their tables, which dire were to repeat to him, and he had orders not to suffer any of them to go out till they had done so ; they became extremely boisterous, and very violent and abusive towards him ; one of them wanted to g o out before he had said hi; tables, which he re fused ; at t h:tt moment, the Defendant, Carpet', came into the school-room and let the boy out ; he remon strated with him, but the answer was a blow frorn CAI - pats, which precipitated him, on his head, across the desk; and, at that moment, Connop came up and dragged him by the collar to keep him down. rite boys left their seats, and began to haze.' over him in triumph. lie ad led, that the boys fret:e-nay threatened hi; life; they tried to rise up against him with sticks, and often swore they would put him into the river; in consequence of this he was obliged to give up his situation. On his cross examination, he said, Master Salter wanted to go out without saying his table< ; he did carted the boys with a cane. He could not sty what he brat Salter with. It might be a whip ; lie struck him first with the lash, and, perhaps, he 1..-at him with lash and handte together. Idle boys cried, a shame! shame I" He was authorised to carrel them by Mr. Shaw.

Master John Ja lat, and some other young Gen tlenaen of the S:11901, w ,re called on by the Nose color, to corrol,n, to his testimony; but their evi dence only tended to saew the malignant disposi tion'of Cie Prosecutor himself, in his tmatalcondua towards the boys. The Defence was, that the Proiecntor having used too great soornity towards Master Salter, the De ' fendant,Carp.au, assisted by Connnp, interfered, and let Salter not of school ; the Pi-oil:come brushed past Carpau with some violence, which, the latter resisting, he threw him over the table. Several of the young Gentlemen were called to support this defence ; among whom was Master Sal teron interesting and anim.ttedboy,about 14 years of age. He srated,that having gone up to the Prosecutor to say his tables, the lattet received him with a blow in the face, which knocked him down. Upon his requesting to be heard, a second time, that he might go out, the Prosecutor ant only refused to hear him, bat beat him with the lash nt his whip ; he next doubled it round his wrist, aal struck him violently with the handle, till it broke ; and then seisingalarge archer's how, which he unstrung, he WAS At:.icking the witness wii;i tois desperate weapon, when Mr. Carpau entered the schi.ol-room, and desired he would desist ; upon which the Prosecutor, wolt his elbow a-kimbo, brushed past hint with violence, wh:ch Carpan resisting, the former tell Gver :;.edesks. `SI/it-less had received fro ,+ • beating several vvere bruises, which remained r eight days after.
