OUTRAGE IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE. —Yesterday
• respectably-dressed aged loan named William Jenkins
was charged before the stipendiary magistrate in Wolver-
hampton with an aggravated assault upon Sarah Tarrant.
The Great Western Railway Company prosecuted ; and
Mr. Young, of the Oxford circuit, was instructed for the
defendant. Jenkins has been for twelve years the cashier
for the large iron-making firm of Messrs. Fletcher, Holly,
and Newick, of Willenhall, and he is the father of ten
children. Sarah Tarrant is only 13 years old, and is a
servant to an operative baker living in Green-lane, Wol-
verhampton. At about a quarter to eight on the evening
of the tlnd ult. she was returning from Dudley to Wol-
verhampton, from the residence of her master's parents,
having n young child in her charge. and riding in a
third-class carriage on the West Midland Railway.
When near to Wolverhampton the defendant got into the
compartment in which she was riding, and which two men
had just lstatioeft, offered her money to accompany him away
from the n on their arrival in Wolverhampton, sug-
gested that she should leave the child behind, and then
placed his hand beneath her dress. The girl called a Mr.
William Lewis, agent to Messrs. Gibbs Brothers, metal
brokers, to her help. On arriving at the station the de-
fendant escaped as speedily as possible in a gig, threaten-
ing to use his knife against Lewis if he detained him.
Lewis, however, ran to the police-station, and defendant
was arrested at the Peacock Hotel, where be threatened to
" rip up " the officers who took him into custody. The
defenoe was that the charge was trumped up, but after-
wards that Jenkins was inebriated. The stipendiary (Mr.
Isaac Spooner) fined the defendant 20f. or Si, months'
imprisonment, notwithstanding that three persons gale
him a 12 years' character.
