AUGUST 8, :1817. I‘I,^IIDSTON I& ASSIZES, U 3.. Cr. CROWN SiLYE. KUNG V. EDWARD. ERITH'. _ . Mr. Abox.ritus stencil this case 'to the Jury. The proseeutrix,-Charlotne Harvv.y. Ivas'ael.;l,lot about foot teen. years age', living with her fa tiler, who kept a small grocer's shop, in the parish. 'of St ruod u ari+l as he hitd another .shop where he was principally engaged, the prosecutriX was -of ten left alone in the xuanagetnent of this. On the 30th of Julie, au a little before . twelve o'clock, the prisoner came to•the shop,. on pretence _of buying a halfpenny-worth of fruit, but•seeing the Child quite alone, he lockedl the shop door, drag ged her-into a back room, threw her on a chest, and t-ff , cied his purpose, holding her 'under jaw with one of his bands to-prevent her from crying . out. When he had completed this. outrage, he . opened the door a n d departed. A female neigh hour immediately came in, and found the prose, entrix in tears, •exclaimiog, " Lord have,mercy - upon roe !--What shall I do !" with every appear ance of pain and agony. She took her to her own apartments, sent for her. father, a surgeon, and a constable, so that the child was taken care of, and tine prisoner secured. Charlotte Harvey fully proved the facts above stated. • . Being cross-examined by Mr. BOLLAND, she said, she knew. tire- pri,oner before, he had he . en in her father's employ a year ago, but had left him, and she believed he had left that part of the country eight or nine months. Shy had never gone to bed to him while lie lived at her father's, nor had ever gone to feed to a nian of the name of Wa:ker,.who lived.,at her father's about a year, but had left hint three years ago, when she .was less. than 12 years of age. She hadnever tomped or be haved improperly with any man; She had called out once;- but the prisoner prevented her from calling . airy more. Nobody. was in . the Inouse. She bad 'begged that her father might not be told what had happened, fearing he niight lay the blame on her. Charlotte Gardener was a married woman ; very distantly related to the prosecutrix. On the AO: of Jane, .she had been out to work ; came nonatm. at a (ratter after twelve; she lived in roomSl alcove the shop, to which there was'a separate cut tance. When she came home she went to the front door of the shop to get some small beer as but found it fastened, which had never been so before at that time in the day. She .went to the back door which was fastened on the inside, hut look;ng through a small 'Window at the tide the door, she saw a man's fOot in the room, and as she could see the sole of his foot, she was ~.orir he was not standing up.. The room Was so d.trly from' time 'inkldle door being shut, that , she could sec.. no more .of the mm's, person. There w a s a pane of glass - broken, at which • she cried' els loud 'as she could, '' Who's within there?" but getting no answer,' she.. went into her own room. frt about two minutes afterwards she heard 4 door slammed below, and goitig•into the street, saw the prisoner, whom she, knew by sight,'cross iog the way toward an alehouse. She then went "into the shop, and found the prosecutrix in the state' already described ; basing been told what happened she took her into her own room and laid her-on some blankets on the floor. 'She then scent for her patents, and when she came back examined the child's.face,.and saw broises on the .lower jaw, which seemed to 'have, been made by the pressute of a strong hand; and there was also a bruise on her arm. The prosecntrix had no bruise on her face when the witness saw her in ke morning. She was cross•examine4 at. grea.t length by Mr PoLLocx, as to expressions which she was sup 7 posed:lu have used in speaking, of this afrafr, all which she, resolutely denied. She had iio malice against the prisoner; had received no injury from him, nor ever expressed a wish that he might be hanged. 'She was quite sure the, parties within' the room must' have heard her when she called through, the window " Who's within?" Cliarlesßathurst,.a surgeon, proved the state of - the proseentrix's person, and the bruises on her face and arm. The prisoner, in his ,defence, said, he was quite - innocent of the crime; the girl had often allowed Itinr to take liberties with her, and be, at Cast; had yielded o her'solicitations'. . Walker was called, who swore that he had lodged at the house of proseentrix'.s-lather two yeatt a i ml a half ago, and that she had come . into bed to him more than fifty finks. On cross-examination by Mr..Acis;u.Pritis,he said, he, was twenty-five years Old, had eaten and drank every day at the table of her father and mother, but never mention6l the tnattei. to them or any one else until about half . a year . - Rga, to a friend of his own. The girl's two brothers, aged about ten and eight years, were in bed with him at the same time. . Mr. Justice DALLAS summed up the case with. great . acCuracy, and dwelt much upon all the cir cumstances by which the Jury might entertain a doubt of the prkoner's guilt i exhorting them, however, if they felt satisfied on all the facts to do their duty, and pronounce a Verdict, without regard to the consequences. . . After about a quarter of ten hour's consider a, tion, the Jury brought in a Verdict of Not Guilty, assigning as a reason, that tney. were nOt quite satisfied that the facts required by law to.c6n stirate the full proof of such a case bad been suf ficiently made out . . The prisoner was detained, and ano•ber bill found <against him for an ,assault w - Lth inteukte , cotniiiit a rape. . . . BUItCLARY.—THE. KING V. BEER. , - I:'his was a case of some humour. Mr. NDOE.-• 3:141, theTrosecutrix was a witk)w, a6ed.77, [PRICE EVENPEI`iCE• who livvd in a cottage,,andhad the reputation of posse.,sing - some te. o She was in the habit of tva-rmin her bed. in cold nights, •andss there was no,thitnnev-place in the room, she set 'the patron she had laid on the floor. The•etlect of• this-was; Ow any , accident which sho!ds the house, stt zhe . pan.a cliatteri6g, anti Manned the •iady.' On thenight of the 20th of April she .had, gone to , itedirefore 10, and was roused frorii her first nap by her-warm friend, who gavelret notice of: danger.' She alarmed her next door neighbour,: who going into 'her•back pre,— mises, found the prisoner, who' bad' broken a small window, taken a•-few trifling articles out of the house, , and had shipped. himself to the shirt, 4 that he might he .able to get in through the small breach he intd-efiected.: he was sectired, but could. give ob reason lot kis tieing where-he was. 'The facts being proved, therry:found him Guilty. FEMALE CONVICT§ IN NEWGATE. (Froth " The . Times The public. attention having been lately called to the attempt now makin,: , . by an association of persons to improve the condition of the female prisoners in Newgicte, a - plain statement of faCts !nay prove interesting, and place the subject in its proper light. An individual having for several years past paid occasional visits to the female side of the prison, observed, with feelings of deep concern, the in r jurioes consequences arising frtini -a number at . unhappy females, of characters and habits more or less depraved, constantly mixing together, without object, and withont employment : ample opporttinity being thus afforded for the hardened in vice farther to initiate beginners into the myS teriei of crime ; and to instil their poison even into the 'tender minds of the children who were - confined with their wretched mothers. - The deplorable state of these chil:lren chiefly arrested her attention ; and she established,' with the assistance of sonic others who now joined her, a school- in which irrey wereinsterthted:,:rs - reading, . knitting'," and needle-work ; the whole under the full concurrence of tie Sheriffs, anti with`the friendly co=operation of the Chaplain,. , and of the late Governor. . • - • The improved condition of the children, and some ad iilis who were instructed in coMmon wi . th aitracted.tfic . notice of 'the otherlemale . prisoners, most of whom expressed a wish 'l6 "be"; , come partakers of a siorildr beneflt. This led to the idea of a noire extrusive plan, the principal object of which was to introduce ' regular w•6l k and uscfttl employmeta among them oil, and suet& oaks as would tend to-their moral 'and tel iMprovenient. FOr this purpose a• well-disposed and respectable wotWair was appointed Mal 1'011; anti rooms - were assigned to her in the prison; to act the part of a'constant superintendant • arid to read •;, to them a portion 'of Scripture morning and Mg. Monitors were tel from amongst them selves, to whom the care ul 5 - the whole, atul the, inspection of the .separate classes, were confided, : ; and .small rewards--were-.-giv-en-t-onthe - most i,u. , dust - I - lions and orderly. Daily visits were paid to • the prisoners by members of the association, its order to assist ,and,sityporyhe nratron t ro inspect the various branch's atid'6l and to stimulate the ,More promising - . by tittle friendly counsel and eneOuragement. A decided improvement in the conduct and de. port ment of the prisoners loon became apparent — their regular mnplpytnent prevented : many tlbl.Ml! of riot acid contention ; and a reasonable hope may be entertained that many, through the divide Westing, may become better subjkets of the state, • and valuable members of society. The execto ion of this elan tVas at first attended with-smite expence, -which was defrayed by the benevolence of private intlivi,tinals, aided by a sub scription from the Grand Juries at the spring and summer SeSsions ; nor will . the estl,enditure - ceitse, thotigh in future it may be considerably diminished by the sale of ,the various articles, made by the prisoners : . ' The members of the association are fully sat.; sible that, 'while iii some respects even their own• expectations have. been -greatly exceeded, much • , more suigh t be done by,.4, fat !yer classification of the pris(!ners, - which the want of room renikirs impracticable. ' • In conclusion, they ,consider it .right to state, that the ,goes' school had .been preyiimsly , Wished by the Ordinary, and a few benevolent GentleMent - ; and ttiat Other consider:able iinprove- - ments bad taken place, in consequence of the : landable exertions of „the G,aol Committee, con- . sisting of the Lard Mayor, and Many of the Court of Aldermen ; and it is rcith pleasure they aC knowsledge the'great kindness and- attention with which their reques t ts, have been received, not only by that Committee, and by the Sheriffs, but also by the higher departments of the Governnent.
