THE CRUEL TRY-A.7EIINT OF A GIRL AT WINDSOR.— S
Yesterday morning William Adolphus Roberta, the land- It
11
lord of the Prince of Weise Tavern, Church-lane, was .t
again brought before the borough magistrates, on the ji
charge of seriously injuring Adelaide Denton. Owing to
the shock which the girl's system bad received the cam has
been from time to time remanded in order to give time for to
her recovery. She was, however, suflioiently recovered to 10
attend the court yeetarday, mid, with her mother, was
present in the hall during a considerable portion of the ;
proceedings. She is a rather pretty girl, apparently older IN
than the age given-12 years. The hall was thronged with
an eager audience, the nature of the charge against Roberts el
having created the deepest interest among the public. 1
Mr. West, from the office of Messrs. Sham and Roscoe, .1
solicitors to the Society for the Protection of Women
and Children, was in attendsom to conduct the case.
Adelaide Denton gave her evidence with great agitation. •
She said she had been in the service of }Cohorts eight a
=oaths. That was at the Prince of Wales in Church-Lane.
The defendant went away that day month on a Monday
morning, and witness was left with another young women .
in charge of the home. That woman was • stranger, bat
much older than witness, and she did not know her name.'
Defendant returned home at 9 o'clock in the evening, but
said nothing then, and did not scold her for anything she
had done in his absence. Wittman slept in the smond floor
front bedroom, and nothing took place that night. She
went to bed at 11 o'clock, but did not lock her door, as
defendant had the key. She next saw him shortly before
6 o'clock the next morning with a bunch of stinging nettles.
That nu at her bedside after he came into her ream. She
was in bed, uodreesed and asleep. Defendant put the
stinging nettles over her unto, hands, and face, and thus
awoke her. They hurt her very much, and she said, "I'll
hello' murder,'" and he said, " I'll murder' you." He then
got a stick from behind • door and thrashed her legs with
It. The stick produced by Noble was the same, but she
had seen it before behind the door in her bedroom. She
was in bed when he began to beat her, and she jumped out
and ran downstairs. He followed her and thrashed her
while she was down there, and witness then cried out
" Murder ! " and " Noble Smith." (Smith Noble is the
name of the policeman.) Upon this the defendant
said " I'll murder you if you ory out." She then
ran upstairs into her bedroom, be following and
thrashing her as she went upstairs. He locked her in with
him and began thrashing her spin. lie ass thrashing her
about an hour and • balf. Ste had nothing on but her
chemise all that time, and he did not tell her what he was
beating her for. She continued to cry out, so he hit her on
the head and made it bleed while she was opening the
window, out of which she jumped, though she did not my
she world do so. After this she recollected nothing till she
found herself in the infirmary, where she remained till last
Monday. The witness was severely cross-examined by Mr.
Youles for the defence. Polioroargeset Smith Noble, re-
examined, stated that on Monday, the sth of June, he
was in the charge-room with the prisoner at the polioe-
stagers, when he said, " Let me look at the stick." Whom,
allowed him, and he said, " That's it ; it was in the room,
and I wish is bad not been now." After some other evidence
had been given the beach determined to commit the pri-
soner foe trial at the ensuing quarter samikag. lie wea, how-
ever, liberated upon the same bail as that taken at his last

examinattoo.

melancholy event has occurred at Melton, whereby Mr.
WWl= Moorhoime, • tradeeman of the town, has mot
sudden death. From a carorme's inquiry, which occupied i
mast of Thursday last, it wee seurteined that death bad ,
resulted from a very strong does of oxalic odd ; and from
the evidence of deceased's widow it appeared she had seen
her husband that morning drink what was supposed to be
• cupful' of Epsom salts and at once Mare to bed, where
be died a very dirtressiag death in about an hour. The
cup from which Mr. Moorhens* bed drunk contained crys-
tals which proved to be those of oxalic acid. on. of the
fluids constantly in use in saddlery, deceased's trade. The
jury toned that the deseseed bad poisoned himself by
drinking oxalic said in mistake for Epeoin;ealts.
