CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT--(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Channoll and Mr. Justice Keating.) THE CASE OF THE REV. MR. HITCH. The trial of Mary Eugenia Plummer, for perjury, was resumed this morning (the 4th day), when Mr. Thomas Plummer, the father of the defendant, said —I reside in Wiltshire, and am possessed of considerable property. lam a member of the Church of England. I used to take my child, Eugenia, to church occasionally. I recollect seeing an advertisement in the paper with respect to Mr. Hatch receiving children to educate. I thought it an advantageous school, and Mrs. Plummer and myself arranged to send our child, Eugenia,there for education. We went to Mr. Hatch's house at Wandsworth, and there, feeling pleased with the appearance of the place, we left the child. Mrs. Plummer never made a request that the child was to be petted. Certainly she never requested that the child might be taken into Mr. Hatch's bed. The witness then gave evidence to precisely the same effect as that given by Mrs. Plummer and the child with respect to the conduct of Mr. Hatch as related by the children, both in the cab and in the railway carriage, on their return to Wiltshire. He then proceeded—l never, on the way to the railway station, permitted the driver of the cab in which we were riding to associate with us on terms of equality. I swear I did not. I and Mrs. Plummer never drank porter with. him. On our arrival home at night I left word for our medical man to attend us the next morning, and also sent for Mr. Pratt, our family solicitor. Mr. Gay, the surgeon, arrived about noon, and the child Eugenia related the whole of the circumstances to bim in the presence of my mother in-law. Mr. Pratt shortly afterwards arrived ; I told him about the circumstance, and then Eugenia related to him the same facts, in exactly the same terms, as also did the younger child Stephanie. They did not differ in the slightest particular. I don't recollect that the child made any complaint of unkindness of Mr. and Mrs. Hatch. Mr. Pratt, immediately after he had heard the facts, advised us to institute proceedings. I went to London and saw Messrs. Humphreys, solicitors, on the subject. A letter that was sent to the bishop was wrttten by Mr. Pratt. After I had read it over I signed it, and it was sent off. I afterwards re ceived a notice that an inquiry was directed, and I and the children went to Wandsworth to attend, but on the morn ing of the inquiry I was informed there would be no inquiry as Mr. Hatch had resigned his appointment. I never made it a habit even in her early days to sleep in our bed. I never knew them to surprise me whilst I was dressing. I know they were not acquainted with children of yin; malt luasite. I kuuw Eh.," vrtro ao,or permitted to mix with the grooms or men- servants. The child never had a brother. had not correctly conveyed my meaning about certain appearances on the person of the child. I have had an opportunity of seeing the notes of what I said on the former trial. I saw them about three days ago. Mr. Pratt, was reading them. I then made the observation to him that my answer, with respect to the point, was not sufficiently explained. I was quite aware of the omission before I entered the witness-box. By Baron Channell—lt appears to me that the explana tion is quite sufficient. The particular question alluded to appears to have been put and answered in an under tone, and that it had not been sufficiently explained, so no actual mistake had been made. Mr. Sergeant Shea said that was the case for the defence. . _ After an adjournment for a quarter of an hour, Mr. Edwin James rose to reply on the whole of the evi dence. He dwelt upon the great importance of the result of the trial to all parties concerned, and said he felt that the hope Mr. Hatch expressed when he received sentence had arrived, and the jury would by their verdict restore him to liberty. He contended that the whole superstructure of the wickedstory against Mr. Hatch had been shattered by the evidence given out of the mouths of witnesses called for the defence. Ho urged that the prurient and filthy ideas witk regard to which Eugenia Plummer had deposed had been put into her head by her mother, and that the child rapidly adopted them until they grew into the wicked and impossible story she had told. The evidence of Mrs. Plummer, he thought, was most ex traordinary, and he thought that no woman could come into Court, and give her evidence in the manner that she did, unless she was in a state of intoxication or delirium tremens. No woman could alternately laugh, cry, and talk volubly to the learned counsel, inviting him down to "Wiltshire to have brandy and water, while such a charge was pending against her own child, without she was in the state he had mentioned. [We shall give the verdict in our late edition.] LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(TILIS DAY.) EXCHEQUER CHAMBER. Judger present—Lord Chief Justice, Sir Alexander Cock burn, Justices Williams, Crompton, Byles, Willis, and Blackburn.) Cross.examined by Mr. Oiffard—l recollect that Mr. Brighton's name was mentioned at Mr. Hatch's, but I can't exactly remember what was said. Eugenia made a communication to her mother in my presence, but we were so astonished that we attributed it to accidental circum stances. On the 26th of August, I cannot recollect whether the -Wit was against the door. I will swear it was not open, I now recollect I did go through the door. I have Made a mistake in saying it was closed. Eugenia talked about the circumstance all the way home. We did not sit up all night talking about it. I will swear we did not sit up all that night talking about it. I can't swear what time we went to bed. We sat up rather late talking about the distressing matter, and it might have been till two o'clock in the morning. I will swear that we did not have porter brought to the cab. I will swear that Mrs Plummer never stopped to eat at the Bayswater-road or had porter brought to us. I keep a gardener and a woman servant, but neither reside in the house. Servants have not refused to live in •ur house. I will not swear that they have never refused to live with us, I know a servant named Phcebe Hezel. I paid her one £5 because my wife used to beat her, but she used to steal things from us. I have never mentioned that circumstance before. She wished to come back and live with us, but her motherre fused to permit her to do so. The £5 was paid for Phoebe's doctor's bill. My wife did not beat her with a poker—it was a candlestick. JUDGMENT,-APPEAL IN ERROR.-TILE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY V. FLETCHER. The farther hearing of this part-heard appeal was re sumed. This is a writ of error from the Court of Exchequer to the Exchequer Chamber, against a dcoiana of the evert of Exchequer, in favour of Mr. Fletcher, the defendant, in error. The contention is whether the defendant has a right to work his mines under the railway in Staffordshire. Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Q.C., is now being heard for the plaintiffs, in error, the railway company. The learned counsel contends that the owner of land and mines was not entitled to work his mines, as the surface land was con veyed to the railway company under the RailwayAct,which has now traffic on it, and defendant cannot work the mines without endangering the railway. The learned counsel referred to several sections of the Railway Act, and deci sions of the Court, to show that the defendant was not entitled to work his mines to injure the railway by such workings. The Lord Chief Justice observed that although the land owner sells his lands he reserves the mines and the right to work them, in terms of the Railway Act. Although ho parts with the surface, he is entitled to work the mines and support the surface. In delivering judgment, the Lord Chief Justice said, the simple question here was whether the landowner was entitled to work his mines. By the 17th section of the 9th Vic., cap. 20, there is an express reservation in favour of the landowner to work his mines ; and when the time comes that the working of the mines render supports necessary to keep up the sur face, the landowner may have compensation for the loss of working the mines under such supports. He was of opinion that the judgment of the Court below was right, and ought to be affirmed. Re-examined by Sergeant Sheo—The charwoman re- The other learned judges were entirely of the same opinion. sided on my own grounds. The children when we got home sat up a short time, but certainly not until two o'clock. They were put to bed, and then Mrs. Plummer and myself sat up talking about it. Our present gardener has lived with us two years and a half, the one before him lived with us fire years. By Baron Channell—The charwoman when she was with us had very little to do with the children. She was about forty years of age and married. Mrs. Plummer always dressed and undressed her children. The female servant we formerly kept was a housemaid. By a Juror—l never took my children to the sea-side. Judgment of the Court of Exchequer affirmed, with costs. POLICE INTELLIGEN CE-( T HIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

I recollect being sent for by Mr. and Mrs. Plummer. It was on Aug. 27. I immediately went to their house, and I arrived about 11 in the morning. I saw Mr. and Mrs. Plummer. The children were afterwards introduced. We were all seated, and the eldest child (the defendant) was told to tell me all about Mr. Hatch's conduct. [The witness then related the conversation.] After giving an aecount of his medical examination of the children he pro-, ceeded—l was never betrothed to the child that I am aware of. She always appeared to me a good and truthful child. They have Deen carefully aLtwutivu w , ana kept very reserved. Cross •exaAlined by Mr. Edwin James—l have never dined at Mr. Plummer's. The mother first told me a por tion a the case. She questioned the child in my presence. She commenced by asking the question what Mr. Hatch did to her. I swear that before the child answered the ques tion the mother did not tell me of the indecencies. The witness was here seized with a fainting fit, and stag gered back in the box. After a few minutes he recovered, but his cross-examination was postponed for a short time. Baron Channell—lt is a great pity something cannot be done to prevent the heat in oourt. It is quite oppressive. Mr. James Pratt, sen.—l am an attorney, and carrying on business at Wootton Bassett. I have been for some time the adviser of Mr. and Mrs. Plummer. I was sent for on the 27th of August last. I went imme diately. I saw Mr. and Mrs. Plummer and the children in a very distressed state. Mrs. Plummer said her children had been ill-treated at school, and she wished me to investigate the circumstances. I then examined the children as to the mode of ill-treatment, and the elder girl made a statement to me. [The witness here repeated the child's statement.] After I heard what she said I consi dered with Mr. and Mrs. Plummer with respect to the charge. The result was- that I came to London and saw Mr. HunAphreys. I then returned to the country, and received a letter from Mr. Huniphrer, and then a letter was written to the Bishop. Cross-examined—I arrived at Plummer's after Mr. Gay had been there. Nothing was drawn up in writing. Up to the time of Mr. Hatch's resignation at Wandsworth I conducted the case for Plummer. I drew up the particu lars and went with them the next der to Mr. Plummer's trustees. Holcroft-house is a beautiful place. By Sergeant Shee—The trustees I speak of were those under Mr. and Mrs. Plummer's marriage settlement.

I wa r first engaged pro fesamfterse. fatheriletyoh. A hadfter those given it up. l had two interviews Mr. Hatch came to Ridley's Hotel. Mrs. Hatch came with him. She afterwards left the room at my re. quest. I believe Hatch knew I held a warrant for his apprehension. After she left I told him I thought I had authority to state that it was the wish of the parents that the poor child should not be exposed, sad as he had resigned his living and involved himself in ruin, that the case had gone fax enough, and if he would confess his guilt and apologise to Mrs. Plummer, there would be an end of the matter. He refused. We were all very much affected at the circumstance, and I cannot recollect the precise order of the conversation. There, however, was an observation that he made that produced a great impres sion in my mind, and I recollect it perfectly. After we had been talking, Mr. Hatch said, " Well, I hope you will deal as leniently as yen can with me. I am mad or was mad." I cannot swear positively whether it was "I am mad " or " was mad," one or th e ot h er I am certain it was. By Mr. Edwin James—l certainly asked the policeman if he could, consistently with his duty, allow Mr. Hatch to re main in his own house until Monday. I did not wish to be exposed. The Rev. John Brighton—l am a clergyman of the Church of England. I have been in the habit of educating children. The child, Eugenia Plummer, was with me two years before I left for Ireland. She was an exceedingly simple-minded child. She was very truthful; and during the whole time she was with me I never had any fault to find with her. I taught her to regard truth and religion. During the time she was with m e s h e was a very good child. She never came into my bedroom. Certainly not. By Mr. Edwin James—l don't know exactly how old she was. I think she was about e i g h t years of age when she first came to me. It is three years ago since she quitted my esta to bli since. I d . on'tkl: how many so h oo l s s h e h as been Taylor, 212 V, said—l had a warrant placed in my hands for the a pprehension of Mr. Hatch o n th e 29 t h o f O cto b er. I heard nothing of him until the 12th of November, whoa I found him at Ridley's Hotel. I found Mr. Pratt, jun., with Mr. and Mrs. Hatch, and I took him into custody. In going - station he asked me the Plummer, and there was another for said the warrant was for ?" I said no doubt it will be read t o y ou on Mon day. He said, " What is the punishment ?"

P HeCan I sae that infor mation ce case was proved the magistrate could give him six months. Cross-examined — l went to Ridley's by appointment with Mr. Pratt. Mr. Gay recalled—The mother sail she could not tell me what it was, it was teoshooking. Th e whole story told me was in answer to questions put by Mrs. Plummer. I can. not say whether the younger child was there all the time, but she was part of the time. Mrs. Plummer asked such questions as " What did he do ? " Re-examined by Sergeant Shea —Th e ques ti ons pu t b y the mother were such as the following, " What did Mr. Hateh do to you ?" She did not put questions that would convey their own answer. I have frequently had fairitiug fits b9f9re, I knew that the shorthand-writer The prosecutor said he was going along the streets in hie uniform the previous afternoon when the prisoner pushed up against him, at the same time calling out, "Who shot the dog." A scuffle ensued, his watch chain was broken from his watch, and prisoner ran off. One of the warrant officers said he could explain the case. The accused and his father had been for some years em ployed at the Arthur Club, and at the time of the affair was on his way back from posting a letter. He believed they had both been drinking, and that in a scuffle which took place the watch Mr. Beadon asked the prosecutor whether his watch ]eft him at all and he replied that it did not. Mr. Beadon asked the accused what he had to say ? . - The accused said he did call out, " Who shot the dog," but never touched the prosecutor's watch. Mr. Beadon said it was well known what " Who shot the dog" meant, and should merely fine the prisoner 10s. or seven days in default for the assault. THAMES. TILE TERROR OF WArrixo WORKIIOUSE.—EIisabeth Travers, a bold, violent, and ill-conducted woman, about 20 years of age, a pauper chargeable to the Stepney Union, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charges with violently as saulting Julia Flower, assistant matron of the Wapping pocr-house, in which the adult females of the union are lodged and maintained. The prisoner has been several times before the magistates of this court for assaults on other paupers, and disorderly eonduct in the workhouse, and is answerable for muoh of the itsubordination which has pre vailed in the building, and has led to inquiries on the part of the Centi al Poor Law Board and the Board of Guardians of the Stepney Union. It appeared from the evidence of Mrs. Flower, a most re spectable and well-conducted woman, t'fiat while her hus band was taking in the bread and weighibg it, the prisoner annoyed him and the baker, used disgusting language, and alluding to the infirmity of Mr. Flower, being pock-marked, said he had more specks in his face than would fill a bushel measure. She also called him cribbage-face, laughed at him, and applied foul epithets to the baker who was delivering the bread. Mrs. Flower repeatedly begged of the prisoner to desist, which she refused to do. Mrs. Flower endea voured to remove her, and the prisoner swore at her, at tacked her in a furious manner, and struck her a violent blow on her breast. Mrs. Flower seized the prisoner, but although a strong woman was no match for her fury ; she tore her dress, attempted to strangle her, and got her finger in her mouth and bit it. Mrs. Flower, with difficulty, ex tricated her linger and called upon her husband to assist in securing the prisoner. He did so, and the prisoner then made an attack upon him, threw him down, and scored his face with her nails, which were both long and sharp. Both Mr. and Mrs. Flower bore marks of the injuries they had received. Mrs. Flower also said, " You can't tell, sir, what I have to put up with from that woman. Sho has been abusing me for the last fort night. She came behind mo one day and threw me down, and laughed at me. She is the terror of the place." Mr. Selfe—l know she is. She has been convicted several times. Mrs. Flower—Five or six times. The prisoner —It's a lie—only four times. Roche--She has been convicted three times for violent assaults on the pauper females, and been convicted of dis orderly conduct. The prisoner—l was knocked about yesterday. I was nearly murdered. Look at my head how it has been thumped. (There was nothing the matter with her head.) Mr. Selfe—You are a moat desperate woman—a nuisance and a terror to the other inmates. Your conduct all the year round has been very bad. I sentenco you to six weeks' imprisonment and hard labour for an aggravated assault. The prisoner immediately struck the top of the dock in front of her, and exclaimed, " That humbugging sentence will take as much effect upon me as a blister on this board." THIS DAYS' SHIPPING.

OFFENCES AGAINST THE PERSON BILL. On the bringing up of the report on the amendments, The Marquis of WESTMEATH suggested that laying a stone in the way of a railway train maliciously should be made a felony, and indictable as murder when death ensued. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that by the common law the offence was murder already when death ensued, and manslaughter when the offence was committed through carelessness. The Marquis of WESTMEATH said that if so, the law was nugatory, as there was no public prosecutor. Last year 138 persons had been put to death in that way, and 1,827 seriously injured, and in no case had a prosecution followed. The report was then received and agreed to. EXCHEQUER BILLS BILL.

Lord MALMESBURY asked the noble lord opposite (Lord Wodehouse) in what state negotiations were with respect to Central America Lord WODEHOUSE said he was happy to inform. the noble lord that the Bay of Islands had been ceded to Honduras under conditions which would ensure the security of her Majesty's subjects residing there. The treaty by which this cession was accomplished had been ratified by the Government of Honduras and her Majesty. With regard to Nicaragua a treaty had been agreed on. but not yet ratified. If the conditions of this treaty were to some extent different from those which had been discussed while the noble earl (Maknee bury) was in office, they were nevertheless of a hig . hiy satisfactory nature. It would not, he thought, be consi dered advisable to produce the correspondence until the treaty had been fully ratified. The Earl of MALMESBURY wished to know definitely with regard to the Nicaragua treaty if the Americans had recognised the rights of passage over the isthmus. Lord WODEHOUSE was understood to reply in the affirmative. CHURCH RATES. Petitions against the abolition of church rates by the Earl of DUCIE ; and also in favour of their abolition by Lord LYVEDEN, were presented to the house. POOR LAWS. The Earl of DEVON presented a•petition praying for a revision of the Poor Removal Act. PROTESTANTS IN TURKEY. Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFIE presented a petition respecting the state of the Protestants in some parts of the dominions of the Sultan, and entered at some length into the grievances under which they laboured with respect to spiritual instruction. He eulogised the conduct of Dr. Cullen, who had, in the midst of pre judices on all sides, established a place of worship for them in that part of the world. Great as was the wish of the Sultan to maintain that establishment in its integrity, he did not think it was advisable for this country to leave the whole of the work to the Sultan, but do all that was possible to aid him in his praiseworthy endeavours. When this petition was upon their lordships' table he trusted it would receive the favourable consideration both of the house and of her Majesty's Government. The petition was from the committee of the Evangelical Alliance, and prayed for the interference of her Majesty's Government to enable the Protestant churches of the East to exercise their just rights, as guaranteed to them by the Sultan's proclamation. (Cheers.) The Archbishop of CANTERBURY thanked the nobl3 viscount for the great interest he had taken in this question of religious toleration iu the dominions of the Sultan, and thought, whether they considered the interest of religion generally, or the unexampled triumphs, of which they had proof, that Protestantism had achieved in Turkey, the noble viscount was entitled to the deep gratitude of every friend of religious liberty. (Hear, hear.) It was impossible, like wise, not to sympathise with the noble viscount in the high tarme of which ho had spoken of the liberality of the reigning Sultan, or to over-estimate the value of the labours of those societies to which the noble viscount had alluded. Notwith standing the immense difficulties 'which existed in Turkey, it was most gratifying to observe the iirogress which the Protest lit religion hsd made in almost all parts of that, country. Again referring to the debt of gratitude which, as he said, the while human race owed to the noble vis count fur the deep interest he had taken in the subject, and for his long continued and successful efforts in the cause of religious liberty in the East, the most rev. prelate was understood to express his concurrence in the prayer of the petition. After a few words from several noble lords, the subject dropped. ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS JURISDICTION BILL.
