There were other counts in the indictment varying the charge. Mr. H. T. Cole was counsel for the prosecution ; Mr. Cox defended the prisoner. This was a very extraordinary case, It appeared that the prisoner, who was a fine, sailor-looking young man, sk -native, pf Jersey, the owner of several vessels trad *-- from Jersey to Plymouth, one of which he cm: manded himself, called the Medora. In November last 4, happened to be at Plymouth with his vessel, and became acquainted with Mrs. Hillyer, the mother of the girl he was charged with attempting to murder. Hear ing that she had a pretty daughter living with her uncle and aunt at Devonport, he asked the mother to intro duce him he went to her, and acco r di ng ly on th e 24th o f Novem bervfet to Devonport with th e mo th er , an d ca ll e d a t t is he s, e uncle's, and they t oo k th e g i r l ou t f or a wa lk.

He then took the girl to seethe lodgings. She sat down on a sofa, but perceiving that the prisoner was endeavouring to take the key from the outside of the door she thought he mean t to lock the d oor and take liberties with her, and became alarmed and made her escape and went home. The prisoner came there also, and in the evening they all went, as had been before arranged, to the prisoner's lodgings, the g irl and her mother seeping on a sofa-bed in the parlour. The next day they went out for a walk, and returned in the evening to tea. The prisoner seemed rather annoyed at their being out without him, but nothing particular passed. While tea was preparing the prisoner asked Mrs. Hillyer to fetch him a pint of beer, and while she was absent he said, "Emma, will you take a walk ?" She said she should not go out that night ; he said, "Wont you ?" She replied, "No." He then said, "I am not ashamed to look at you ;" to which she replied, `,`, Nu: am I ashamed t o l oo k a t you.

When first observed, it was appa rently about three miles off. As it approached it was more distinctly seen, and was apparently about one hun dred yards in height and about thirty feet in diameter. It moved with great rapidity, and reached the shore in less than five minutes from the time at which it was first observed. When it came among the breakers, it caught a wave in the act of breaking, and dispersed its waters into a thousand forms. The whirlwind, however, con tinued its course, playing strange pranks on the shore.

As soon as she became aware of it, she acquainted him with her situation, demanding money, which seemed to perplex him. However, they met by appointment on the Denes, a large sandy district just outside the town, on the evening of the 14th of Oc tober last, for the purpose of discussing the matter. As they were sitting down so engaged near the Northum berland Arms Inn, the prisoner all of a sudden jumped up, and, applying a plaster to the face of his unsuspect ing paramour, attempted to hold her down. She, how ever, managed to get on her legs, and, tearing off the plaster from her face, fled from him. He pursued her, and, overtaking her, renewed the attempt to apply the plaster, and made a:ferocious attack on her, tho violence of which may be conceived when the surgeon, who was called in by those who, being alarmed by her cries, discovered her lying insensible, and on her face near the inn, stated that her front teeth were knocked in, and her whole face swollen to a level with her nose, while on her throat were pieces of pitch. Being taken to the hospital the prosecutrix was soon ascertained to be free from vital injury; but she was an inmate of that establishment for a fortnight before she could resume he uoritahlobioun to her a siness. , Whenpitch hpelrasctrieresadahtterraed to ctedth h e er lan g dl ow or n d , and a brace was found lying by her side ; but no one was near her.
