situated nearly opposite the Towe-hall, when his attention
was called to the premises in question through burin the
voices of two persona (supposed to be Roberta and the girl

afterwards the footsteps of people running upstairs from
the lower to the upper part of the house were heard, sad

from the ground, was thrown open, and the body of the
girl Denton fell with a frightful crash upon the pavement
in the street below. Covered with wounds, bleeding, and
insensible, the unfortunate girl was at once picked up by
the police, and Dr. Purl, of High-sheet, having been sent

o'clock in the morning. The prisoner was seen in the room

out. He sad there was sot time for him to have dove it.
A certificate from Mr. Brlckwell, the surgeon of the infirm-
ary, was heeded ie. and proved the pretences condition of
the girl. The magistrate, who viewed the matter is • very
serious light, remanded the prisoner, but consented to accept
bail—himself in 1001. and two sureties of 501 each.
