The preseestria, who still queued to be suffering severely

Mr. U. Penfold, a surgeon at Brighton, proved that he

that she had mined a severe wound in the left grain. It
was throe-quarters of an lash long, but be could not state

Berjeant Bailment" then addressed the jury for the pri-
soner, and said that whatever determination they might
imesenally arrive at on the ease, he was sure they would
agree with bins that there mould not be a mote deplorable
spectacle than the one that was exhibited before them. A boy,
for ha could hardlycall hiss man, as he was not, be believed,
yet 18 years old, was standing before • jury of his country
charged with a most hentou cffence, and the act was no
doubt to be attributed to habits of dissipation of the most
disgraceful character. The wont hind of dissipation, that
of drinking to emu, bad no doubt placed the prisoner in
his pretest FLIPPO e but, however dreadful and painful It
might be to the prisoner himself, and also to those to whom
he was dear, he could only morass a hops that the present
proceeding would aired • wholesome supple, and that those
who were present or who would read in secoust of the
tranrction would be deterred by it from that die/panful
habit which had the West of &strains a man's mind
and preventing him from knowing what he was
clang. A brand would undoubtedly be find upon
the primer for the remainder of his life under
any circumatasees, but he said be trusted that when
the considered all the hots of the ease, they would
acquit the prisoner of the more serious portion of the charge,
sad that they would not Ind him guilty of felony, which
would entirely destroy his figure prospoets, but that they
would say that the art committed by him amounted only to
the offinoe of unlawfully wounding.
Captain Parker, of the Lineolaseire Militia, said that in
November, 1866, the prisoner joined that regiment as an
essip, end he had opportunities of observing his solidus,
pi he sundered him a quiet, inoffeasive young men.
Yr. H. D. Meadrick,a brother to the prisoeer, said that
be was just 18 yeses old, sad be bad always evinced a quiet,

mer with istending to do grievous bodily hams to the

The jury at oars found the prisoner Guilty of unlawfully

We, the undersigned, earnestly beg leave to recant-
mead her ease to the notice of • few benavolentfriends..

"J. S. Jankussim, Vicar, 21.; Joseph Speller, 11. Is. ;
Themes Divot, 2L; John Humphrey, 21.; MIMS. Free-
men, IL 65."
Mr. Casenove—About tender previously I had received
a similar petition, and that induced me to believe that the
present petition war not genuine. When I told her, upon
finding she had practised a deception, that I should Rive
her in charge, she said she hoped that I would not deal so
harshly with her.
The Rev. Mr. Jenkinsos, vicar of Batteries, said—
Neither the writing in the petition nor that In the letter is
mine. Ido not know the prisoner. Ido not think there
is one genuine signature to the petition.
The Lord Mayor—This Is one ef thou meet which call
felt exemplary punishment, and I recommend that it be
taken to the quarter sessions.
The witness—That is oar object. We constantly read of
fabrications of this kind, and the mischief resulting from
such a practice is incalculable. It is our wish to check it ss
quickly as pusible.
The Lord blayin—l have received innumerable letters
and memorials, written, I am convinced, by one and the
same person. There are fellows who live by fabricating
cases of touching misery, and they no doubt are not
only paid for writing, but share the prcflts of the
success of the wretched people who go about in this way at
the hazard of detection. I shall remand this woman till
this day week, and then I shill commit her for trial at the
quarter sessions. We have not bad many cues of this kind
lately, as the Recorder haa punished those who have been
convicted with the mat sflicite one severity.
Cssenove said be would most willingly adopt the
suggestion of the Lord Mayor, end appear against the pri•
Boner, who is well known to the Mendicity Society, on
Tuesday neat, end afterwards at the quarter sessions.
