eorrease the matter to oaf
one until the 2nd of flogiseDer, and before she told Mr.
Farringdon she had beard that he had expressed
an intention to tall Mr. Bugdeu of something that
had been going on at the rectory. She had heard
something said of Elphick having been boasting about the
village of what had taken place. She first made a charge
against Elphick, and she after wards charged Elton. She
believed that one of the rooms of the postmaster's house
overlooked the roam occupied by witness and Fenn, and •
horse rug was put up, and she did not know who pat it up,
or what was the co eat, bat she supposed It was to prevent
the people in F house seeing what was going at.
Oa the Saturday after the 13th August they were all in the
same bed together again.
In answer to a question pat by Mr. Lilley the promantriz
said that besides the persons already mentioned, Miss
Elton, the prisoner's sister, also slept at the rectory on the
ni&ht the affair took place.
The prisoner Fenn put some questions to the witness,
in answer to which she stated that on the first Sunday she
refused to go to olthreii,bwe at ierwardkshe consented to go.
She said, however, that she had net altered her religious
principles, but was .1W a imam catholic. She said she
remembered a blaelomith Wog la the kitchen one Sunday
whoa Mr. Sugden 41111011 Mime hum church, and when he
wanted to know what lemimess he had there, she told him a
tale about hi having 1111111/ for a book belonging to the
prisoner Fenn. She said that she screamed loud enough at
the time she was assaulted for Mr. Sugden to hear her, and
on the following morning he inquired what had occasioned
the noise in the bowie.
Os reexamination the promittrix said that she re-
ceived notioe to quit the service because Mr. Burden would
not keep • servant who was a Boman catholic. Elphick and
Fenn were also wanted to quit, on account of Mr. Sagden
becoming acquainted with the natal* of the intercourse
that was gist on between them. She did not make an
complaint to Mrs. Stirlen, became she said that she would
not believe earthing that was said by a Roman catholic.
Mr. Baron Platt pat some questions to the witness, in
answer to which she said that she did at first resist Elphick
coming to bed with her and Fenn, but be generally came
while she was asleep. She said she thought it was not •
decent thing, but she " had not the sense " to know what to
do to prevent it. Some other facts were elicited by the
learned Judge, which were not of • nature to be further
alluded to, but which had • toadeney very much to damage
, the character and credit of the 'cement:ix.
Mr. James Parriagdos shismed that at the time in ques-
tion be wee mimeses, of Neerilegate, and lived close to the
rester, hawse. He remembered the prosecutrix Crawley
making a eesamunioaties le him at the 2nd of September.
Before this, he had said that when Mr. Sugden, who was
' absent, returned, he should be sus him of the goings on at
his house. He said something.* the same effect to the pro-
, secutrix before she made any esumannication to him, and
after she had told him she bane cats tears.

Mr. Parry said that the nano of Mr. flugden appeared
upon his brief as a wittiest, bat be did not know whether
the court would consider it necessary that he should be

Baroa Platt asked if his name was on the back of the
bill ?

21r. Parry said it wee.
Baron Platt said then he ought to be called.
The Hon. end Reserend Arthur Bogdan wee accordingly
sworn, bat the only questions put to him by Mr. Parry were
se to his being a clergyman and the rector of the parish of
Newdegate, to both of which having answered in the air-
native, the learned counsel for the prosecution said he had
aothing mere to ask him.
In answer to questions put by Mr. Clarkson, Mr. Bugden
said that on the night in question the Rev. Mr. Pigott oc-
cupied a bedroom adjoining the one occupied by himself
sad his imliiand if any screaming had been made during
dm must have heard it ; in fact, it must km
bees based over the house. He had no radioed= of
making any inquiry on the morning of the 14th of August
about a noise in the boss* during the night, end he heard
Whims of what had happesed until the tad September.

explained that there was no necessity for Shea be have

ehClarkson then addressed the jury for the prisoner
Baton and he observed that in the come of the now some-
what long experience he had bad at the bar, he had been
concern in many extraordinary oases, but he had no
reeollectien of any chugs of this kind being sought to be
made out by such evident* as they had beard that day.
He said he should have no moiety for the result, so far
as the boy at the bar was concerned, were it not for the
prejudice that mad ammarily be created by the youth
and the appeereass d the prosecute:, and the sympathy
they were likely te dads ; but still he bad no doubt he
should be able to satiety the jury that the testimony she
had given could not he relied -ages, and that it would

The learned Judge them =sussed up, and having called
the attention of the jay to the peculiar nature of the
Marge, he said that in all sash elm a most essualal intro.
client for the consideration of the jury was the amilmt of
the woman who complained of the both Wise and

justify this in giving full effect to her . His
lordship in the come of his obeervatiats dl he bed at ens
time entertained an opinion that the armagesseate of Mr.
Bogdan's establishment with regard to the sleeping rooms
of the servants were not satisfactory, bat the evidence
entirely disproved that supposition, and there did sot appear
to him to be the slightest ground of complaint against Mr.
Sande* upon this matter.
The jury, after a short deliberatioa, named a verdict of
Not Guilty, and all the prisoners were ordered to be imme-
diately discharged from custody.

muse say anneyanse he pasesugan, which he apprel
banded was the intention of the legislature when they gave
snob powers to the messissionen, and he could designate
the present ist so little better than frivolous on the
part of the tmaars, who. if they had felt that the
defendant bad Need la aostravention of their rules, might
have taken am themselves the concurrent power which 1

soauldwisala bad giesm a latitude to so many persons to

he regretted bad beam gives, as he thought that it naturally
led to the belief that the sanction of the court had been
granted.
Mr. °Fridge for the defendant, who was not called upon
to answer, intimated that the objection the magistrate had
taken was the line of defence he had been instructed to
snake on the part of his client.
WORSHIP-STREET.

Peter Griffiths a;dGeorgsß;;;;s, private soldien in the
City Militia, were charged with a violent assault upon
' Police-constable Hazel, 281 N division. Griffiths was also
charged with attempting and threatening to stab the eldoer.
An officer of the Militia gave Griffiths a very bad cha-
racter.
Both defendants denied being concerned in the assault, or
having had their bayonets with them ; but
Mr. D'Byneourt said he entertained no doubt of their
identity. It was absolutist, imperative that a decisive step
should be taken for the prevention of attacks of this nature
by the Militia. It was most disgraceful. He should now
send the offenders for one month each to the House of Cor-
rection, without the option of paying a line.
The magistrate requests an acknowledgment of the fol-
lowing donations for a dying widow, named Frampton, and
her flue daughters :—Col. Pollard, it. ; J. F. G. and J. G.,
11. Is.; J. J., 10s.; Messrs. H., Ge.; and postage stamps,
10e.

Mr. Herring, the solicitor engaged on behalf of Mrs.
Mary &embalm*, of No. 7, Portman-equate charged on
Tuesday at this court with stealing four pocket handker-
chiefs from a shop in Baker-street, appeared before Mr.
Broughton, and solicited him to reconsider his determina-
tion not to take bail for the prisoner's appearance next
Monday. In support of his application, the learned giallo-
man cited two or three asses, to one of which in particular
he would call his worship's attention. It was a ease heard
at Guildhall, before Mr. Alderman Humpbery, where a
man named William Winchilsea Bevan was charged with
embezzling various sums of money belonging to his as-
lain, and then was allowed to go at large upon putting in
bir. Brongbtoa—Look at the station in life of the party,
Kr. Herring, who has been brought before me. If I were
at once to give my consent to her being belled, would it not
be said that I bad done so because she was a lady keeping
her carriage,:and living in Portman square, and that a party
in a more bumble station would not be allowed the alterna-
tive of putting in sureties?
Mr. Herring—l am quite satisfied, sir, that on another
day—on Monday next—when the prisoner will be again
brought up, I shall have a fall and complete answer to the
charge ; and I must beg of you, sir, that you will cause her
to be liberated upon bail without any more delay than is
absolutely necessary. Lord Campbell has recently expressed
an opinion that it was much to be regretted that persons
under examination were remanded for so long a time as
they frequently were; and he (Mr. Herring) believed that •
bill would speedily be brought in by the noble and learned
lord, having for he object the remedying of the evil and in-
justice slluded to.

Mr. frOulition—l must decline to interfere further at
present, for it appears from what transpired in the course of
the inquiry yesterday before me, that the stealing of the
handkerchiefs at the shop of Mr. Houle by Mrs. Rams
-
both= was not her first offence. You must distinctly un-
dentend, Mr. Herring. that if I take bail at all on Monday,
I must have two in 1,0001. each.
Mr. Herring—The bail I should propose would qualify for
10,001, if accessary.
Mr. Broughton—Give in the names of the proposed
sureties to Mr. Franklin, the chief usher, and be will make
the necessary inquiries as to the parties' respectability.
Mr. Herring gave in the names of two parties said to be
first-rate City merchants, and he then quitted the court.
A statement was subsequently made to Mr. Broughton by
the same solicitor, to the effect that Mrs. Remsbothem was
in so bad a state of health as to render it necessary that she
should not be kept in confinement any longer if it could be
avoided.

-16:imagist= remarked that he should not be justified
in liberatiss the prfeoser wakes he had properly authenti-
cated medical sertfileatee furnished to him.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A well-dreosed and good-looking young woman, who
stated her name was Garrett, wife of Henry Bereaford Gar-
rett, who is at present under remand on the charge of being
concerned with where in robbing the Victoria Bank, Aus-
tralia, applied to the court under the following circum-
stances :—Ske said that she was married to the prisoner at
Sydney some few years ago, sad that about two years ago
she left Australia and came to England, he promising to
remit her from time to time money for her suppott ; she,
however, never received a farthing, and was at present in
the grutest distress.
Kr. Leadley, the chief clerk, inquired what her object wu
in scaling there ?
Applicant said she had seen a report in the papers stating
that prisoner was in custody on the charge of robbing the
bank at Victoria, end that he had deposited a large sum of
mousy in the bank. She therefore wished to know if the
court could act grant her sa order to receive a portion of
that newsy for her support.
Mr. Leadley said an attachment had been put upon that
money, as as doubt it was a part of the proceeds of the rob-

1:":
Appbegat sold she was not aware of the robbery, nor did
she know the prisoner was in England until she saw it in
the papers. The woman who ;came over with him, and
with whom he was cohabiting at the time of the robbery,
was a married woman, and her husband was still living.
Mr. Lindley said the court could do nothing for her. If
she was destitute and in distress, she must apply to the
parish in which she lost slept.
Applieant thanked Mr. Leadley, and left the court.
GREENWICH.
Louisa Lucas, alias the Casings.. daCliford, a person of
lady-like appearance, was charged with obtaining money
under false protium' from several individuals.
The evident* extended over a period of seven years, and
clearly showed that daring that period a regular system of
fraud had been practised by the prisoner in various parts of
the metropolis, by taking &rubbed apartments, procuring
board and lodging, and alter obtaining various sums of
money, either by representing herself as an authoress,
being related to Lord de Clifford, er that en aged
died in France leaving her a fortune of 14,M1., which eke
was to receive from the Vice-Chancellor's Court. Ia one ease,
is July, 1851, it was proved that under these representations
she obtained from a Mrs. Coveney, living in Bower-street,
Commercial-road East, between 41. and bb, since which
time she had not been seen by her until Wedneeday lest.
On this occasion the prisoner entered the house of Mrs.
Coveney, who now keeps the Foresters' beer-shop, Green-
' with, and inquired for the landlady. Mrs. Ceyeney, who
i was up stairs at the time, was called, and, on seeing the pri-
senor, immediately recognised her as being the person by
whom she had been victimised upwards of three years pn-
• vionsly, and gave her iato onstody.
The prisoner, who doehred she was niece to Lord de
Clifford, and who, daring the inquiry, made repeated ap-
; peals to the Deity in a dashomerry style, was remanded for
a week, when it is expeethil other sharps will be preferred
against her, Mr. Train expressing his Wanks of sending
the ease for trial.
