W4KEFIELD ELECTION COMMISSION WAKEFIELD, Nov. 14. At the sitting of the commissioners this morning, Dan Robinson, thq satellite of the " Man in the moon," was called—l was brought to Wakefield at the last election by Whitehead, and was employed by him to bribe various electors. I offered money to many electors, but I only actually bribed three. To Thomas Head, the baker, I gave £6O on the day before the election. To Gosney, a confectioner, I gave £25 not to vote at all. Ife would not vote for such a small sum as that, but after a little dis cussion he agreed to stand neutral for that. I bargained with Jesse Pickard, the shoemaker, for his vote. At first he would not vote at all, but after a while I got him to promise for Charlesworth, and I said, " I shall not give you any money, and then nobody can say that you have been bribed." At the same time I stepped forward to his shop window and dropped 50 sovereigns into a lady's boot which was lying there, and walked off. Of course he saw what I was doing, but he didn't speak a word. There was no possibility of anybody picking up the boot and not finding out what was in it. [Pickard swore that he had not taken money for his vote.] I also offered money to the Halli days and to a baby linen warehousekeeper named Moxon, who said he would not sell his vote for any sum of money, but that if Mr. Charlesworth would give him a situation for life, which he had it in his power to do, he would vote for him. Mr. Matthews, one of the voters whom the " Man in the Moon " stated that he had bribed with £lO or £l5, made his appearance in the witness-box, and denied the imputation with much show of in dignation. The money was said to have been left on Matthews's counter, but both Matthews and his son, who was also called, swore positively that they had resisted the temptations of the unknown, and that the story of the money deposited on the counter was a pure invention. Mr. Thomas Serle, barrister, was next called. He said,—l was professionally engaged at the last elec tion, ostensibly to assist Mr. Westmoreland as legal adviser, but in reality to write articles for the papers, election placards, and to make speeches on behalf of the party. I had nothing to do with canvassing, or, in fact, with any of the business part of the matter. Early in the election I had reason to believe that the Liberals had begun to bribe, and by my advice Mr. Westmoreland employed a number of men to watch Wainwright's offices. It was sonic time in the week before the election that I heard from common rumour in the town that Brear was bribing on our side. Mr. Westmoreland and I had some conversation on the subject, and we agreed that if the report were true it was a suicidal course, for our plan was to keep pure, and get the seat on petition. I was aware that Whitehead was in the town, for I knew him before, but I was not aware of his business. I might have had some suspicion of it, but I pur posely avoided asking any questions. I thought it better, if he were doing anything wrong , to know nothing. about it. After I heard that Brear was bribing, I avoided him as much as possible ; I made no attempt to stop the bribery. In fact, I fought shy of the whole affair after these rumours got abroad. When I received my retainer it was un derstood that the contest was to be fought on pure principles by the Conservatives, for it is was well known that the Liberals had committed themselves months before, and my plan was to get together all the evidence against them I could, in order to unseat Mr. Leatham and seat Mr. Charlesworth. I believe Mr. Charlesworth entered into the contest with a firm intention not to resort 'ito illegal prac tices, and if he changed his mind at all during the election—which I do not admit—it would he be cause he saw a determination on the part of the Liberals to filch the seat from him by unfair means. I canvassed with Mr. Charlesworth, and during that canvass I never heard a single improper offer made to any voter to induce him to vote for us. The pe tition was not advised by me—it was a sponta neous ebullition of feeling after the election was lost—but it was through me that the information was conveyed to Messrs. Baxter, Rose, and Nor ton, in London, on which the petition was drawn out. Of course, I was aware why the petition did not pray for the seat. It was notorious that there had been bribery on both sides, and my idea was that Mr. Leatham would not attempt for a moment to defend his seat, and that then, the seat being vaunt, and both sides finding out how expensive the old 'system was, would resort to a purer mode of conducting the election. I was engaged on the election of 1857, but I am not aware that any im proper practices were resorted to then, nor do I believe that there were any. I went up with Mr. cse,riess-,r, .7;tl-1 the view of doing something to stop this commission. We saw noh-mro Smythe and Mr. Beecroft about it. It was a spontaneous act of our own—the party did not send us. We paid our own expensss. Mr. Sergeant Pigott—Now, Mr. Serle, about your going away. Why did you leave the town when the Commissioners came here? Was it be cause you knew who these strangers were and didn't wish to be asked who they were ? Mr. Serle—No; my reasans were twofold. First, the state of my health ; and next, that I was un willing to be called on to advise how the Conserva tive case should be conducted. Mr. E. A. Leatham, M.P., was recalled, and in answer to Mr. Slade, said he knew before the elec tion that bribery was going on on the Liberal side ; from the hints dropped occasionally by Gilbert at Wainwright's office, he could not fail to be aware of it. He had, however, no knowledge of any indi vidual case of bribery. Wm. Barret, gardener, said—l was employed at the last election to bribe Ritchie. 1 gave him £4O to vote for Charlesworth. I also offered Lynas, a grocer, £4O, but he would not have it. I got £65 from Mr. Serle, £25 of which I have got still. I have offered it to various members of the committee, but none of them would have anything to do with it. John Dixon, a commercial clerk, was offered an unlimited amount by the " Man in the Moon" if he would vote for Charlesworth, but refused. Was also offered five guineas a day for working as a Conser vative committee clerk if he would vote for them. Voted for Leatham without any inducement. When canvassed by Mr. Charicsworth he told him he did not want any immediate pecuniary advantage, but a situation which would provide for him for the fu ture. Mr. Charlesworth turned it off, and said he could not do it. T. H. Brownbill voted for Leatham at the last election, though he had at former elections alwas voted for the Blues. Did not recei ve an 3 b r ib e for turning. His reason was that some time previous he had written to Mr. Chark-swcrth for a loan of £5O, but received no answer. G. Allet, publican, promised both sides, but voted for neither. He owed W. Bayidon, a Conservative agent, £27 145., and he got that wiped off, with a present of £5 to his wire to vote for Charlesworth. After that Woodhead, a Liberal agent, gave him £l5 to stand neutral. Mary Fieldhbnse said—My husband had £2O for voting for Leatham. Archie Crowther offered us £5O to vote for Charlesworth, but we would have nothing to do with him. J. Perkin, landlord oftheManorHouse Inn, voted for Charlesworth without a bribe. Just before the election was offered £lOO for two Cheshire hams if he would vote for Leatham. The offer was made by a stranger whom he had since seen talking with Winter (one of the Liberal bribery agents). He refused the offer then, and a day or two afterwards the same man offered £lOO for the use of a small piece of grass land until Christmas, if he would vote " Yellow." The same man attempted to drug. him on the polling morning, by putting something into a glass of sherry, to which he had treated him, while his back was turned. Understood that this man lived at Kirby, near Hemsworth. John Barton was the medium of bribing James Winter to vote for Leatham. Sharpley placed £4O in his hands, which was to be - Winter's if he voted right. The man did vote right, and he put the money under a flight of steps in his back yard, whence it was fetched away by Arundel, Winter's son-in-law. Arundel told witness that Shand, the spirit mer chant, had offered his father-in-law £lOO worth of spirits if ae would vote for Charlesworth. Had also £2O deposited with him for another voter; but as the polling-day came on the voter said that prices had ri sen , an d h e wou l d not take £4O then, The money was returned to Gilbert. Mr. Stephen Seal, stone merchant, was associated with Mr. A s h i n t h e management of the non-electo rs' departm en t on b ehalf of Mr. Leatham, took a - very active p ar t generally i n the election'. Canvassed along with Mr. A s h, but hail no knowledo•eofany improper offers b e i og made to any voters. One David Stocks had stated to the Commissioners that he (Seal) was present when an offer of £4O was made to David Turner, but the statement was a fabrication. Neither he nor Mr. Ash had any au thority to offer money to voters. James Saville, grocer, reczived £3O from Gilbert to hand over to Caldwell if he voted for Leatham, as he had bargained with Sharpley to do. Caldwell voted right, and got the money. Maria Ripon was housekeeper to Joseph Beau mont, who had died since the election. On the day of polling Brear came into the house and gave Beaumont a packet of money, and then took him off to vote. On his return, Beaumont said, " I believe they have given rue £5O for my vote," but on breaking open the parcel it was only found to contain 19 sovereigns. Beaumont had also an offer of £4O from Sharpley to vote for Leatham. John Woodhead paid G. Abbot's wife £l5 for her husband's neutrality; and also £5O to G. Seller's wife for her husband's vote for Leatham. In both cases got the money from Gilbert. Mrs. Sarah Wheater was offered £lO by George 11Urriot to persuade her husband to vote for Lea- thaw, but refused to do so. Her husband voted for Charlesworth. Mrs. Blackburn sold a ham and her husband's vote for Charlesworth for £25. The purcha4er was a " stranger." Had never told her husband of this little transaction. He was a Liberal, and voted for Leatham, as she believed, without a bribe. A number of other witnesses were examined, whose evidence was mostly either corroborative of previous statements, or contributed very slightly to the ad vancement of the inquiry. The Court was still sitting when our parcel was despatched. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—Nov. 14. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. NEWMAN v. lIEMMINGS-BREACII OF PROMISE, This was an action brought by the plaintiff, Charlotte Newman, a young lady 23 years of age, against the defendant, a gentleman farmer of about the same age , for a breach of promise of marriage. The declaration stated that the defendant:promised to marry the plaintiff when he had attained the age of 23, and that he had not fulfilled his promise. The defendant pleaded, first, that he did not promise as alleged ; and secondly, that the plaintiff had wholly exonerated him from such marriage. Mr. Tindal Atkinson and Mr. Phillips were counsel for the plaintiff; :gr. Edwin James, Q.C., and Mr. Phipson were counsel for the defendant. Mr. T. Atkinson, in stating the case to the jury, said it would appear that plaintiff and defendant were both young, the young lady being about 23 years of age, and the defendant a year older. They both resided at Moreton-in-the-Marsh, a small town in Gloucestershire, where her father up to the time of his death, had kept the Black Bear for 24 years. When he died, about three years ago, he left a widow, four daughters, and one son. After his death the son took up the business, and the female portion of the family went to reside at a private house adjoining. The defendant used the public-house and svas friendly with the family; and after they left he visited the plaintiff at the mother's private residence, where he expressed his intention of making her his wife, and was in the habit of making those little presents which usually showed the tender feelings a young gentle man has towards the young lady upon Whom his whole desires are built. The period fixedfor thetmar rine was when he attained the age of 23, when he would be his own master and possessed of consider able property. The learned counsel then detailed the facts of the case, which will be found in the sub joined evidence. Miss Emma Newman deposed—l am the eldest sister of the plaintiff, and I reside with her and my mother at Moreton-in-the-Marsh, where my father kept the Black Bear before his death. After his death we left the public house and resided in a pri vate house close by. My mother has some property. The defendant visited my sister so late as 1858. His visits were very frequent, and he made my sister Charlotte presents of gloves and handkerchiefs, and he used to call her " Lotty." He took my sister to the annual gipsy parties, and he took her on one occasion to Warwick races. In 1858 my sister asked the defendant what were his intentions, because at times she did not like his manner, and he said when he was 23 years of age he would marry her. My mother also spoke to him, and when on one occasion he absented himself, he said he did not like to be under petticoat government—(laughter)—that he loved my sister and intended to marry her, and that he could not love another as he loved the plaintiff. There was seme unpleasantness about Miss Har graves. He said he had 'written to her, but in very friendly terms. She was willing to show her letters to my sister if she wished to see them. The defen dant is in very good circumstances. He keeps dogs and three saddle horses—two of them are hunters. His farm is well stocked. My sister and defendant had visited at defendant's aunt's, Miss Jane Hem miogs, who rents a house of nay mother. My sister on one occasion said to defendant that she had had an offer of marriage. He replied, " What did you say, my dear 9" She said that she was already en gaged, and he rejoined, " That is quite right." He told h her that she was not to buy any dresses with out showing him a pattern, and that after the marriage he should buy her dresses, &c. My sister purchased some wearing apparel for the marriage iu February, 1856. My sister received a valentine, which she told the defendant afterwards she be lieved came from him. It was addressed in his handwriting, contained writing inside in his name, it was sealed with his usual seal (Shakspere's head), and contained a lock of hair. The defendant lived about a mile and a quarter from our house. The letters handed in are in the defendant's handwrit ing. He wished my sister to have the lock of hair in the valentine put into a brooch. Cross-examined by Mr. James—When the letter came it was valentine time. Ido not know if my sister sent him a valentine. I did not. The valentine was then put in and read. It was a very pretty thing, highly embossed, with a heart in the centre, tied with a true lover's knot, and an arrow through it. There were some lithographic lines on the fly-leaf, and underneath there was written in the defendant's handwriting, " Charlotte Newman, from her affectionate and attached loser," below which were some hieroglyphics or rather short hand, which Mr. T. Atkinson said they were unable to decipher. The letters were also put in and read. The first letter was as follows : " 18th Nov. " My dear Charlotte,—Many happy roturns may you have of this your natal day is my sincere wish. In great haste, from yours sincerely,_ "WILLIAM HEMMINGS." The second letter was as follows : • "Friday. "My dear Miss Newman,--I should have written a line yesterday, but really I did not feel able to sit over pen and paper ; but I am happy to tell yon that I am on tho mend to-day, and sincerely livo in hopes of getting out to-morrow. Mr. King pro gresses much the same as myself. Hoping that your little cough has vanished, and that you are well, believe me to remain, &c., yours truly, " Wm. HEMMINGS. " Thanks for your enquiries." The third letter was then read. " Thursday. " My dear Charlotte,—This I know is the anniver sary of your birthday, and I wish you many happy returns of it. I intended coming to drink your health this evening, but from your assurance this morning it appears that my absence will be more acceptable than my presence at your door, and there fore I will not annoy you, Charlotte. Hoping that you may live to see many months of November, I am faithfully yours, "WILLIAM ITEmmINGs." The last letter read was as follows : "Friday. " My dear Miss Newman, —I beg to acknowledge the receipt of yours this morning, but I am at a total loss to know the meaning; but as I am full of apprehension, I will call very shortly, when per haps you will kindly make me understand verbally what you have certainly failed to io by writing. I would have come this evening, but I am compelled to go further on.—l remain, dear Miss Newman, yours, &c., " WILLIAM HEMMIN GS." Cross-examination continued—l don't know what was done with the lock of hair, it remained some time in the valentine, but it was not put into a brcoch. My sister showed me the letter she re ceived. I never heard what she did with .the lock of hair.'n never, heard she ;told him not to call again ; she never told me anything of the kind. My sister is 23 years of age. The defendant was 24 in October last. They went to school together whin children and grew up together on intimate terms; they did not see each other for a year after leavinc , school. My mother frequently pressed him about the marriage, and sometimes in my sister's presence. Defendant rents a farm of the rector of the parish. . In 1858 I first heard that he had written to Miss Hargraves. I think it was in June or July of that year. I don't remember when defendant's father died. My sister was in London in the autumn of 1858 on a visit to some of our friends—Mr. Harris and Mr. Morley; the latter was a betting man and liquor merchant, residing in Brewer-street. Morley has not advised this action. She is now stopping with him. He did not recommend the attorney. Re-examined by Mr. Tindal Atkinson—The de fendant said he wished my sister to wear the hair in a brooch. His father was in the occupation of the farm before him. It contains about 400 acres. The farm is well stocked and he keeps three saddle horses. Two of them are hunters. I think Mr. Morley bets sometimes on horses at races. He has I:n a e y e i Morleyn for several iis knownyears t o the mily-. defendant.l can't He has met him with U.S. Mr. Morley is a married man with four children. Mrs. Mary Newman, the mother, was next examined by Mr. Ti n d a l Atkinson. She' deposed-- lam the mother of the plaintiff. My late husband kept the Black Bear Inn, Moreton-in-the-Marsh, 28 years from the time when we were married. Just before my husband's death I had four daughters. Ile died four years ago last March. He left some pro perty. My son took the business, and I and my daughters to k the house adjoining; Mr. Hem m'ngs there very often. I asked him what his object was in calling, about twelve months after I left the public-house. I asked him his motive for coming, and he said he was not then in a posi tion to marry. He used to make her presents of gloves, game, and fruit. He took her to Mrs. Hol lier's gipsy party—a friendly party for the people of the town—where there was dancing, &c. The object of the party was to raise funds for a benevo- THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING; NOVEMBER 15, 1869. tent purpose. He took her there three years fol lowing. He took her to Warwick races, but I don't think he took her to church. I afterwards spoke to him of marriage, and he said in the close of 1858 he should be his own master, and then he would marry her. He kept sporting dogs and horses—he called one of the dogs and one of the horses "Lotty" after her. (Laughter.) Mr. Tindal Atkinson—That he might always have " Lotty" by him ? (Laughter.) Witness—Yes. I know he is married to Miss Hargraves. My daughter spoke to him about Miss HargraveS, and he said he had only written to her out of friendship, and that he would let her see the letter, but I don't think he did. He used to visit three or four times a day. One fair day I asked him what was the matter between them. He said he did not like petti coat government, and would never submit to it (laughter), but he loved Charlotte, and would m arry her. When my daughter was in London he ca ilf.d, and I told him I had received a letter from her, and that she desired me to give her love to him. He said he had also received a letter from her that morning. He then said he should marry her in November. On ne occasion she was working some collars ; he asked her to let him mark them. She consented, and he asked What they were. She said C. N. He said, " Let me mark H." She said " No ; wait till the proper time . *arrives ; it will be time enough then." He said it mi; h done then, as it would not be long befort e 7 that well t be time arrived. He also wished to have some plate of hers marked with his initials; but she declined. He has a well-stocked farm. Cross-examined by Mr. Edwin James—They went to school together, and were very friendly. After the father's death he lived with his mother. I did not visit her. We were on speaking terms. He used to come to the Bear. My daughter assisted me in the business. I first spoke to him of mar riage in November, 1856. At that time he must have been about twenty-one years of age. I men tioned the marriage to him frequently. My daugh ter did not visit at his mother's. %Ve lived about a mile apart. I knew my daughter corresponded with him. I recollect the valentine with the lock of hair coming. She kept the hair for a long time, but I believe she afterwards lost it. Mr. James—That is considered unlucky. (Laugh. ter.) Witness—l believe it is in some things. (Re newed laughter.) I believe at ono time there were a few words between them, but I don't think it was of any consequence. 1 don't remember her writing him that his absence would be acceptable to her. Miss King, of the White Hart, went with the de fendant and my daughter to Warwick races. De fendant has a sister married. We did not associate with the family—we did with his aunt. By Mr. Atkinson—When I kept the Bear lie came on market days and met other farmers. It is the practice for the farmers to meet on market days and settle accounts. _ _ Mr. Charles Gore deposed—l live opposite the plaintiff's house. I have seen defendant visit there. I have met him there, and I presumed hb visited Miss Charlotte Newman. He had addressed her rather familiarly, such as " Lotty, ow are you?" Miss Hemmings deposed—l am defendant's aunt. I have known the plaintiff's family about three years. I have been a neighbour of theirs for that time, and on friendly terms, occasionally visiting them. I know my nephew has visited the plain tiff. He has been two or three times with her at my house, and spent one evening there with her. I do not know of any presents being made by him to her of my own knowledge. I have heard so, but he did not tell me of it. I never saw them walking about the town together. Ido not know anything of the defendant's circumstances. I am an annuitant from his late father's estate. He has never said anything to me about his circumstances. Cross-examined by Mr. E. James—l am his late father's sister. The plaintiff never ♦isited the de fendant's mother. The plaintiff has spoken to me about him. She never said to me she could not bring him to the point about marriage. She never said anything to me about marriage, neither have I heard anything about it. Mr. Mace deposed—l am related by marriage to the defendant. lam a farmer, residing near Sher borne, in Dorsetshire. I am one of the trustees of the defendant's father. I produce the will. He takes £2,500 under the will, with a reversion after his mother's death of perhaps £2,000 more. He had nothing at 21 years of age. His farm is well stocked and in good condition. Cross-examined by Mr. E. James—The £2,500 is in farming stock. He had no money. That is reserved for paying the annuities with which the estate is charged. By Mr. Atkinson—The will is sworn under £12,000. The debts seduced it to £9,000. No witnesses were called for the defence. Mr. T. Atkinson then addressed the jury on the facts of the case. Mr. Edwin James having addressed the jury for the defendant in a powerful and humorous speech, The jury retired, and after an absence of half an hour returned into court with a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, £2OO. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. (Before the Chief Commissioier.) BETTING IN BRIDE-LANE--IN THE MATTER OF EDWARD DAVIES. . This insolvent, described as occasionally " bet ting on the turf," who was in prison, was opposed by Mr. Sargood on the part of a person named Thomas Newcome, who was stated to be a " better on the turf." Mr. Dowse supported the application for dis charge. In May last the insolvent laid a bet of .E 7 to .£l4O with Newsome at his " place of business," as it was termed, in Bride-lane, on Defender for the Chester Cup. The bet was made on the day the horse was to run. Defender was "scratched" on the day of the race, and on the next day the insolvent applied to Newcome to return his money, which he refused —and on a second refusal on the asme day an assault took place by the insolvent for which Newcome brought an action in the Court of Exchequer, lay ing the damages at £2OO. The jury awarded £3O as damages, and the costs had been taxed at £5O 4s. 6d., and for both sums the insolvent had been taken in execution at the suit of Newcome, who now opposed his application for discharge. The question now raised in order to bring the case within the act of Parliament (Ist and 2d Vic., c. 110) was, that the assault was of a "malicious" character. It appeared from the evidence of New come that the insolvent asked him for the money as the horse was " scratched" at the time he made the bet. He told him he could not attend to him then, and he went away. In about an hour he re turned, when Neweome told him that he did not officially know when the horse was scratched, and *he was then felled to the ground by the insolvent, as seen by several persons. When he came to his senses he was in the Punch Tavern, and the land lady, Mrs. Bowie, was washing the blood from his face. He stated that the bet was made with him about twelve o'clock, and the race was run about half past three o'clock. He received the " tissue" of the scratching when he was at the Punch Tavern having -his dinner. According to custom, a bet made on a horse scratched on the same day as the race took place was not to be returned, =1 when he made the bet with the insolvent he did not know the horse had been "scratched." He was very much injured, and obliged to have medical advice. On cross-examination, a good deal was asked about Bride-lane. Newcome said there used to be a good many persons meeting there, but only a few now ; they had all gone to Hyde-park. (A laugh.) Mr. Dowse said the police had made it very un comfortable for the sporting gentlemen, who were obliged to "move on." Dr. Owen Evans described the injuries Newcome had received. He was very much knocked about, and he had to attend him about three weeks. The charge was 15 or 16 guineas. From the insolvent's examination it appeared that in 1858 the insolvent came from India, where he had sold some horses, having been to Australia. He received about £6OO, and had about £4OO when he came to England in August,lBsB. He had very little left in May last. He asked Newcome for £7 back, as the horse was scratched two hours before he made the bet. It was usual to return money under such circumstances, and he had seen money returned. He said Newcome had aggravated him by putting up his eye-glass when he asked for his money, and by lifting up his hand to push him away. He also stated that he arrived at the trial too late, and the case was nearly over when he got into court. Mr. Sargood submitted that the evidence proved the assault to have been " malicious," and therefore prayed for a judgment. Mr. Dowse contended that the insolvent was en titled to the money, as he belies ed, and the refusal had irritated him, on which he struck the blow. The Chief Commissioner said no witnesses had been called, exept the parties themselves, to show who was entitled to the money. There had been an outrageous assault, and it was ridiculous to sup pose that a man, because he refused to return a sum of Money, was to be knocked about in the manner described. The insolvent must either pay in purse or person, and he would allow an adjourn ment to compromise. The insolvent said he had no money. Newcome had had about £2OO or £3OO of him since he came to England. The learned Commissioner told the insolvent he must take the consequences of his own violence, and ordered the next case to be called. The insolvent was subsequently sworn to the schedule. The Court gave a judgment of seven calendar months from the vesting order on the 13th of October, for the damages awarded in the action. MIDDLESEX SESSION e, Nov. 14. The November adjourned General Sessions of the Peace for the County of Middlesex commenced this morning. The calendar contains the names of 55 prisoners, all of whom, except two, are indicted for felony. The learned Assistant-Judge delivered the charge to the Grand Jury. THE QUEEN V. FARINI.—A further application was made in this case, by Mr. F. H. Lewis, and an affidavit put in by Mr. Shaen, who conducts the prosecution for the Associate Institute for the Pro tection of Women. The defendant, Pietro Farini, was indicted for indecent conduct in the presence of females in the Regent's Park ; but having been admitted to bail he left this country, and is now supposed to be at Madrid. The bail prayed for an enlargement of the recognisances, and it was urged that they were foreigners, and were ignorant of the legal consequences of what they did in be coming bail. The Assistant-Judge said that could not be ad mitted as a plea in any court of justice. Persons undertaking to become bail must know the respon sibility they assumed, Ultimately the recogni sances were enlarged for the next two sessions. THE STRIKE.—THE QUEEN V. PERHAM.—Mr. Gordon Allan stated that he had an application to make on behalf of Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., who had been specially retained with him to appear for the appellant, that the Court should appoint an early day for the hearing of this case. It was an appeal from a conviction by Mr. Corrie, the police magistrate, of a workman for using threatening language, and was a case of great importance. It was probable, that whatever might be the decision of the Court, the opinion of a higher sribunal would be sought ; aud, therefore, it was desirable that the matter should be immediately investigated at the sessions. It appeared further, that in giving his decision the magistrate had stated that he had been compelled to commit a man to prison for not supporting his family ; that he could have obtained work, but had refused to do so. inquiry had been made as to that committal ; but no precise informa tion could be obtained as to the exact circumstances attending the case. It was the wish, however, of those by whom he was instructed that it should not be allowed to become currentthat they accepted the doctrine of the magistrate that the refusal to sign the declaration was such a refusal to work as would justify the imprisonment of the workman. They were anxious, therefore, that the whole matter should be as quickly as possible inquired into. The Assistant-Judge said that the Court would be willing to oblige the learned counsel, but they were afraid that the appeal could not be heard at the present session. Mr. Allan said that he believed, on looking at the act of Parliament, the Court would find that they had jurisdiction. The Assistant-Judge referred to the act, and said that was so ; and that the Court would fix Tuesday, the 22d, for the hearing. Mr. Poland, who appeared for the respondent, said that day would be convenient to his client. Thomas Bowcott, 22, was indicted for feloniously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Jane Frisseder, and stealing therein a cash-box and other articles, value £5, the property of Wm. Austin. He pleaded guilty, and several summary convic tions were proved against him. It appeared that he got into the house of the prosecntrix one morning at seven o'clock, with an other man, by means of a false latch-key. They had packed up a large bundle of things in the par lour ready for removal, when they were disturbed and made off, but the prisoner was captured. The Assistant-Judge said he might be doing wrong, but he would give the prisoner one more chance in this country, but if he ever came there again the sentence would be one of penal servitude for a long term of years. The prisoner was sen tenced to hard labour for one year. - N% m. Peake, 41, clerk, was convicted, upon his own confession, of embezzling money to the amount of £2 10s. 3d., received on account of his employers, Messrs. Gardener and Co., lamp manufacturers, of the Strand. Mr. Poland appeared for the prosecution. Mr. Metcalfe, on behalf of the prisoner, addressed the Court is mitigation of punishment, and said his client had hitherto borne an unexceptionable cha racter, and had been well recommended to the pro secutors from the Great Northern Railway, where he had been employed. • The Assistant-Judge sentenced the prisoner to three months' hard labour. Thomas Hirons, 21, was indicted for stealing a portmanteau, containing an apparatus for taking photographic portraits, clothing, &c., value £22, the property of the Rev. Wm. Laing, from a truck on the London and North-Western Railway, and a carpet bag and other articles, the property of John Ogilby, from Luckett's Coffee-house, Bishop's-road, Paddington. Charles Knapp, 40, a general dealer, in Praed-street, Paddington, was indicted for felo niously receiving part of the same with a guilty knowledge. Hirons pleaded guilty. C Mr. Metcalfe prosecuted for the London and North-Western Railway Company. Mr. Sleigh de fended Knapp. The portmanteauwas stol en f rom a t ra i n i n w hi c h aD passenger to St. Alban's. division, traced out the the Sergeant prosecutor pri soner Hirons as the thief, and found that some of the contents of the box, which was found in the room he lodged in, had purchased by Knapp for almost next to nothing—particularly a valuable photographic lens and some slides. Mr. Sleigh addressed the jury for Knapp, urging that the evidence did not make out a receipt with felonious knowledge, and ealled witnesses to cha racter, among them Mr. T. Cottetell, the magistrate, who said he hail known him for 30 years. The jury acquitted Knapp, buttitggested that his lordship should administer to him- a sharp caution as to his dealings in future. The learned Judge said the suggestion was one in which he not only concurred, but he should have cautioned the prisoner had not the same occurred to the minds of the jury. The prisoner must take care how he received things in future, or he might not be so fortunate as on this occasion. Against Hirons there were two former convic tions upon the record ; and a third case of robbing at a hotel at Padlington, where he took up his abode for a night for the purpose of carrying off some jewellery, but only got a top coat, was proved by the officer. The Court sentenced him to three years' penal servitude. A tall, determined, and savage-looking fellow, named Newman, was indicted for robbing a boy of 2cd., and assaulting him and putting him in bodily Aar, &c. The prosecutor stated that he was in the tap-room of the White Lion public-house, Edgware-road, when the prisoner, who had about fifteen others with him, put him on the table, tied his legs, and held one hand over his mouth, o b s e s r e t s y s e h d e p, roaunt away, a l y i a n p d o e n k e e x t . t d \ a l; h , s e e n e n h g o t g h o e t his and with the o th er t oo k 2 , 1 d., all he pri soner amongst a number of others, he picked him cut and gave him in aharge. He was sure he was the man, and there could be no doubt from his appear ance. This evidence was given in a clear, concise, and straightforward manner by the boy. The prisoner slid the case was u lie; and why did not the boy go and tell the landlord; and was it likely he would do such a thing before 15 others, and if he did, why were not some of them called ? The jury acquitted the prisoner on the ground that the boy's evidence was not corroborated. The Assistant-Judge--Juries should really pay due regard to evidence. Unless that poor boy has made a false charge altogether, this case was proved, and he gave his evidence in an intelligen manner. Foreman—He was not corroborated. The Assistant-Judge—Notco;;;l7o7;ted ! If it were necessary for a witness to be corroborated in every case. any one of you might be attacked, and knocked down and robbed on the public highway, by a desperate ruffian, who then is to be let loose again, because your evidence is without corrobora tion, hough you are sure of the person, and no one but your assailant and yourself being present when the crime is committed. I believe the boy. Foreman—He might have complained to the landlord at the time, but did not, it appears. Tne Assistant-Judge—He might have done so, but how can we tell what state of mind that child was in after he had had this outrage committed upon him in the presence of 15 men, not one of whom interfered on his behalf. The first time he saw the prisoner afterwards he gave him in charge, and the prisoner admits he was there, and not one of the 15 came to say he did not do it. But it was for you to decide, gentlemen. A list of the convictions was then put in. A Constable—ln 1853, on one of those convic tions the prison& was sentenced to 10 years' trans portation, and he is now on ticket-of-leave. Four years of his term are unexpired, and he is the con stant associate of burglars. The Assistant-Judge --Then I shall order him to be detained, in order that lie may have his licence revoked, and be remitted to serve out the remainder of that sentence. The prisoner, whose conduct below had been bad in the extreme, was then removed. John Maitland, 27, a gentlemanly-10016n,, whose appearance was calculated to throw any one off their guard, was convicted on five distinct charges of robbing ready-furnished lodgings. The Court sentenced him to 18 months' hard labour. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE. Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Ingham, the presiding magistrate at the Wandsworth Police court, was occupied for nearly three hours in the investigation of a very serious charge against the Rev. John Henry Hatch, the chaplain of the Wandsworth Houso of Correction, for unlawfully assaulting two little girls, named Mary Eugenia Plummer, and Stephena Augusta Plummer, sisters. The prisoner, who was laced in the dock, was brought up in custody of police-constable Taylor, one of the warrant officers of the court, who had held the warrant for his apprehension since Satur day fortnight, the day upon which the friends of the little girls first made their application. From the well-known popularity of the reverend gentle man, numbers of the inhabitants of Wandsworth flocked to the court at an early hour, for the pur pose of procuring a place to hear the proceedings, but a great many were disappointed. In conse quence of the smallness of the court, only a few could be admitted, and, consequently, the yard and the front of the court were thronged with persons during the whole of the investigation. Mr. Cooper, instructed by Mr. Walter F. Pratt, solicitor, of Wootton Bassett, Wilts, appeared for the prosecution, and the prisoner was defended by Mr. Lewis, sen., of Ely-place. Mr. Taylor, the chief clerk, having read the war rant, Mr. Lewis pleaded not guilty, and asked for all the witnesses to leave the court. This having been complied with, Mr. Lewis objected to the father of the little girls remaining in court. Mr. Ingham said he could not order him to with draw, as be could not be called as a witness. Mr. Lewis said he had written to the Bishop of London about the case, and he was only anxious that the little girls might not be influenced in any way by the presence of the father. Mr. Ingham said if he saw that the father inter rupted, he would then request him to withdraw. Mr. Cooper then said, he appeared on behalf of the father of the children to prosecute the Rev. Mr. Hatch upon tho charges mentioned in the warrants. He (the father) was very sorry to have to do so against a gentleman holding the . position that Mr. Hatch did, but he felt that it was a duty he owed to the public as well as to himself to bring the charge forthwith before that court. The learned gentle man then recapitulated the evidence he intended to call, and said that it was in consequence of an ad vertisement in the Miles, that the parents of the children were induced to place them under the charge of the Rev. Mr. Hatch. The eldest girl was then brought into the witness box, and sworn. She appeared in a very nervous state, and was crying nearly all the time under exa mination. She said—My name is Mary Eugenia Plummer. I am the daughter of Thomas Plummer, of Holcroft House, Great Lunsden, near Swindon. I remember going to the Rev. Mr. Hatch's. It was on a Thnrsday in August last. I remember the ffrst evening I was there. I walked in the garden with him. A little girl, named Lucy, walked on the other side. He put my hand into his pocket. The witness, in answer to questions, then pro ceeded to describe prisoner's conduct, consisting of exposure and forcing her to place her hand on his person, and stated that it was repeated on other subsequent occasions, at one time coming to her bed, and at another taking her into hi s b e d. She remem bered there being a party. The party were in one room and he was in his bedroom. She was passing through his room to go down stairs, and he said ho would tell her a story. She sat on his knee. He again behaved indecently. Lucy was on the other knee. He did so to her as well. Mr. Cooper—You remember the day your sister came. Did anything happen ? Witness—He did the same as before, while my little sister was in the next room. By Mr. Lewis—l am 11 years old. When my mother came with my little sister I asked her to take me away. Mr. Lewis—How many females were there in the house ? Witness—Mrs. Hatch, Mrs. Hatch's mother, the governess, and two female servants. Mr. Lewis—Did you ever mention this to a single person in the house P Witness—No. Mr. Lewis—Now, Cid you tell your mother at al when she came ? Witness—l told her some of it when she took me away. Mr. Lewis—How long did your mother remain when she brought your little sister ? Witness—between two and three hours. I Did not tell her on that day. I cried and told her to take me away. I did not tell her why. Mr. Lewis—Did you press your mother not to take you away ? Witness—l did not. Mr. Lewis—Have you been in any other person's bed? Witness—None, with the exception of theirs and my papa's. Mr. Lewis—Are you not under an engagement to be married P Witness—l don't know what you mean. Mr. Lewis—Do you know a doetor ; have you ever been in his bed ? Witness (still crying)—No, never. Mr. Lewis—Are you not under an engagement to him to be married ? Witness—l never told 'him of it. Mr. Lewis—Don't you know what marriage means ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Lewis—Have you not promised to be mar ried to him ? Witness—l don't know who you mean. Do you mean the doctor at Mr. Hatch's ? Mr. Lewis—l would rather not mention names. Witness—At home do you mean ? Mr.. Lewis—Yes. Witness—l only said it in fun sometimes. I have never been in his bed. Mr. Lewis—Quite sure of that ? Witness (crying)—Yes, I am. Mr. Lewis—Did you not hear your mother tell Mr. Hatch to take great care of you, as you were very forward and untruthful ? Witness—l did not hear her say so. Mr. Lewis —Were you kindly treated at Mr. Hatch's ? Witness—l did not like them. Mr. Lewis—Then you told all this tale to get away ? Witness—l wanted to go away. I saw my mother again when she brought my little sister. That was a fortnight after I first went. I went with mother into the closet on that day. I did not tell her what had taken place. I only cried to go home. I was afraid she might leave me if I told. I thought they might hear of it. I did not say I should like to re-- turn at Christmas. , In answer to Mr. Lewis, as to whether she had ever used an indecent word, which she had em ployed in describing the prisoner's conduct, before going to Mr. Hatch's, she said she might have done so, but did not remember it. Mr. Lewis—There were several females in the place, why did you not mention it to them ? Witness—l thought Mr. Hatch would hear of it. Mr. Lewis--Don't you think it would have been the best for you Witness—l thought he would do it the more. I told my mother the remainder of it in the fly. I told her before we reached the station. She did not return. My little sister was with us. She took us both away. She came for the purpose, as she saw there was something the matter. Mr. Lewis—Were your bedroom doors kept open ? Witness—There were two doors, one opened into their room, and one into the passage. Mother said they were to be kept open. They did not do it. There were females in the company at the party. They were in the drawing-room. The bedrooms were up a flight of stairs. I know a Mr. Brighton. I was never in his bed. The sister was then called in, and Mr. Cooper said she was not so nervous as the other. She gave her evidence very clearly. She said—My name is Stephena Augusta. I remember going to Mr. Hatch's. I slept in a room next to my sister. He came into my r oom . (Th e witness here described theindecent act complained of.) He laid across me. The clothes were on me, but my hand was out because I was warm. He had his night-shirt on, and no trousers. I was only there one night. He did not do it again that night. Mother came the next clay, and while she was in the house I did not like to tell her before Mr. and Mrs. Hatch. My sister told mother. My sister told me what he had done before mother came. It was when the gover ness was out of the room, and we were doing our lessons. This witness also denied the use of the particular word referred to above. Mr. Lewis—Do you know the nature of an oath ? Witness (quickly)—To tell the truth. Mr. Lewis—When did you first hear the word ? Witness—l do not know. I carnot remember. It was a good while before we went to Mr. Hatch's. My sister had never told me she had been in any other parson's bed. When we went up to bed, Mrs. Hatch was in her bedroom. His bedroom opened into mine, I knew she was there, as I saw her. He left Mrs. Hatch in bed to come to me. He re mained between a quarter of an hour and half an hour. I did not scream. I was afraid to do so. T tell her. I did not like to do so. My sister told me he did it to her, and I said he did it to me. Mr. Lewis—Did your sister say anything in the fly going home ? Witness—l cannot remember. I think she said he was a disgusting man. She told mother the re mainder in the train before me. Papa was in the train, and he asked me all about it when we reached home. I did not hear my sister tell my mother she wished to stay at Mr. Hatch's. I know Mr. Brighton. I have seen him once. I don't know whether she has been in his bed. She never told me so. She has told me she was going to marry him. Ido not know that it is settled. Mr. Ingham—l do not know what you intend to prove, but it is a common thing amongst children. I know for myself, when I was only six years of age I was engaged to marry my two aunts. Mr. Cooper—The doctor is an old man. Mrs. Caroline Plummer, the mother, was next examined, She said—l remember placing my eldest daughter a t M r . H a t c h' s. I t wus in August last. She had been there a fortnight when I took my youngest daughter. She only remained one night, and the next day I took them both away. The day I took the youngest I found I could not speak to the other alone. I then took her to the closet. She cried, and begged me to take her home. I went home, but I had no rest, and I was determined to take them both away. Mr. Cooper—When you took your eldest daughter to Mr. Hatch's did you say she was forward, and given to tell untruths ? Witness (emphatically) —I did not. The eldest was 11 years of age in March last, and the youngest eight in October. By Mr. Lewis—When I took them away, Mrs. Hatch said, " We are parting friendly, I hope, and we shall be glad to see the children at Christmas ?" From the 26th of Aug. down to the end of Septem ber, (lid you make any complaint to Mr. Hatch ? Witness—No. Mr. Lewis—The first charge you brought was made to the bishop ? Witness—That was the first. Mr. Lewis—Then for a whole month nothing is done ? Witness—That was the first that was done. Mr. Ingham—Who was the first person you con sulted after it happened ? Witness—Our solicitiors, before we had been home six hours. Mr. Lewis—You say you could not see your eldest daughter alone. Why not ? Witness—Mr. and Mrs. Hatch followed us about wherever we went to. Mrs. Hatch followed us to the closet, but I would not let her come in. Mr. Cooper said that was his case. Mr. Lewis made a forcible address to his worship on behalf of his client, and said the prisoner had voluntarily surrendered to meet the charge. He then called the following witnesses : Martha Howe said—l have been governess at Mr. Hatch's since August last. I remember Mrs. Plum mer bringing the eldest child to school, She said she had been to school„ and that since then she had not been so open in her manner ; she had become re served, and not truthful. During the whole time she was under my supervision she did not make any complaint to me. I had her under my eye from the time she left the woman who dressed her till she went to bed of a night. A great many nights she sat up as long as we did. The doors were to be wide open. The mother was a great advocate for air. The doors were kept open from my own knowledge. I slept in a floor above. I had to pass the bedroom, and I frequently went in and out to say good night. They generally went to bed together. Perhaps it was six or seven times that she went up stairs to bed first with the little girl Lucy. During the whole time I have known Mr. Hatch he has been a perfect gentleman, and I never heard a remark fall from him that any one might be ashamed of. He was a modest and correct man. Mrs. Hatch always acted without reproach. The eldest girl said to Lucy that she was sorry she was going. Esther Dillon—l live with my son-in-law, the Rev. W. Hatch. I remember Mrs. Plummer bring ing her eldest child. She said her daughter was untruthful, and I think deceitful. Since she had come from school she had seen a change in her manner, and was reserved. I heard the mother say that her daughter was betrothed to the medical man who attended them, and that she was heiress to her father's place. She also said that the medical man had been in the habit of setting her on his head and carrying her about. I have known the Rev. Mr. Hatch since he married my daughter, now 14 years, and he has always been a modest and decent man. Ellen Farr—l have been cook at Mr. Hatch's for about four months, and during the whole time he has been a very good man. Mary Ann Read--I have been housemaid at the Rev. Mr. Hatch's for the last 12 months. I re member the two children coming. After they came the doors were always left open. The Rev. Mr. Hatch's conduct was always very proper. I know nothing wrong of him. The eldest girl said to me that she was very sorry for going. She told me that in the hall. She said, " I am sorry to leave you all." By Mr. Cooper—The eldest girl never went to bed until after prayers. They were said at nine o'clock. Mrs. Hatch went up to see her in bed. The Rev. Mr. Hatch went to bed as soon as he had supper. They were the last up. I went to bed before them. The eldest girl always went to bed at one time. There was no difference at all. The doors were open when I went to bed, and they were open when I came down in the morning. Mr. Lewis then said he should call the little girl Lucy, who was the adopted daughter of tho Rev. Mr. Hatch. She was then called in and sworn. She said— My name is Lucy Harriet Hatch. lam seven and a half years of age. I remember the eldest Miss Plummer coming to school. I was in the garden the first day she came. Mr. Hatch was there in the evening. I remember walking on ono side of Mr. Hatch, and Miss Plummer on the other. Mr. Ingham—Did anything happen ? Witness —No. Mr. Ingham—Did you hear him ask Miss Plum mer to put her hand in his pocket ? Witness —No. Mr. Ingham—Did you put your hand in his pocket ? Witness—No. Mr. Cooper—Who asked you to come here ? Witness—A police-constable. We were walking in the garden. I took hold of one hand and he had hold of Miss Plummer's. We were looking at the garden lam quite sure I did not put my hand in his pocket. I ran about the garden and she was left with Mr. Hatch. That happened once or twice. Mr. Richard Onslow said--I am Governor of the House of Correction at Wandsworth. I have known Mr. Hatch since the prison has been opened in 1851, now eight years. He was the chaplain of the whole gaol. During the whole time I never had any suspicion of anything wrong about him. I never heard a single complaint as to his immorality or indecency. Mr. Cooper--He has resigned, I believe. Mr. Onslow—Yes, on this day fortnight. Mr. Cooper—Do you know why he resigned ? Mr. Onslow—l hardly know. He told me the reason, Ile resigned because this charge was made against him, and that he would be in a better posi tion to meet the charge if he resigned. Mr. Charles 'Wilson 'Wilkinson said—l am the resident surgeon of the House of Correction. I have known Mr. Hatch for eight years. During the whole time I never heard anything detrimental to his character. If I had had a child of my own I should have placed it under his care with perfect confidence. The Rev. Joseph Cregg—l am assistant chaplain at the prison. I have been so since July, 1857. Mr. Hatch has borne a very high character. Mr. Lewis—That is my case. Mr. Ingham—ln a case of this importance it ought to be investigated before another tribunal, and I shall therefore forbear making any remark•. I shall commit him for trial at the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court, and I will take bail, himself in £5OO, and two sureties in £250 each. The prisoner was locked up in default of finding the bail. [ADVERTISEMENT.] - Mr. Benson, Ludgate-hill, has just published a new illustrated pamphlet on watches (free by post for two stamps).
