CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
(THIS DAY.)

THE CASE OF THE REV. MR. HATCH.
(FOURTH DAY.)

The trial of the defendant Mery Er!fetus Plemoster was
igain teemed this morning at ten o'clock.
The following asblitional evidence was adduced for the
&fence.

Mr. Thonsa Plummet, the father of the dideadant, de-
posed that he resided at Holcroft House in Wikehire, and
was possessed of eonsiderable property. He was a member
at the church of England, and he need to take his
slaughter Eugenia to thurch occasionally before thin
time. He saw an advertisement in the newspaper, in
ocusequetwe if which he ormimunicated with Mr. Hatch,
sad an engagement was made that his daughters
should be placed in his charge. He took hi. daughter
Eugenia to Mr. Hatch's on the 11th of August, and left her
there, and all he remembered that occurred at luncheon on
that day was that Mrs. Plummer wished her daughters to
be kindly treated, ad Mr. Hatch said they should be
treated the same an Lucy was. When he went on the
second KX116012 he marked particularly that either Mr. or
Mrs. Hatch accompanied them wherever they went, and
the only opportunity his wife had to 'Teak to Eugenia alone
wee by taking her into the water-closet. He said that he
did act observe anything particular when they came out,
but while they were walking in the front garden, Mrs.
Plummer told him that Eugenia had told her that
Mr. Hatch was a disgusting man. Nothing more
occurred until after they got into the ay to return home,
when both the children made a statement relative to the
ereduct Mr. Hatch had practised towards them. The wit•
sue said it was not true th►t he and Mrs. Plummer drank
porter with the cabman as they were going to Paddington-
station. When they arrived at Swindon, they immedi•
ately left a message for their medical man and solicitor
to be at their house on the following morning, and they
%nth came, and the children repeated the story they had
told lefore. In consequence of this, witness consulted Mr.
Humphrey►, the solicitor, and wrote the letter to the
bishop, The letter wan written by Mr. Pratt, but witness
approved of its contenta, and signed it. Au inveritigatke
was after wards appointed, but it did not take place in coa-
sequence of Mr. Hatch resigning his situation, and witness
then obtained a warrant fur his apprehension.

Creeht.3l4lllilbtd—When wirer and his wife left Mr.
Hatch'e they did not suspect that anything serious had
occurred. He did not think it right to cail Eugenia and
ask for an explimation after what he heard in the garden.
He was quite nue that he heard nothing more in the have
than that Eugenia had rid that Mr. Hatch was • disgust-
ing man. Eugenia was talking about the affair nearly the
whole of the night, but be would swear that they did not
nit up the wiiole night talking about it, but did not
go to bed until 2 o'clock in the morning. The cab might
have been stopped ter'..ze to get porter as they were going
from Mr. Hatch's to Paddington station. He would not
state tbat his wife did not atop the cab on both occaroes,
and order him to get beer. They had only a charwoman.
He would not swear that servants had not refused to live
with them. He paid M. tonne servant because she rid that
Mrs. Plummer beat her, and he believed that the did touch
her. IA laugh.) It was not with a poker, but with a
candlestick. (Laughter.) He also had to pay a doctor's
bill.

Mr. John Gay, • surgeon, practising in Wiltshire, de-
posed that he went to Xr. Plummer'■ house on the
l'ith of Auguat, in consequence of • menage he re-
mired. and the children were introduced to him,
and Eugenia ma Is a statement to him of the treatment
she Ltd experience' at Mr. Hatch's. She first said that
be had ill•uwel her, aad them pee • detail of the
various sct• of indecency that were the subject of
inquiry. He had known Eugenia Plummer since
her childhood, and they had frequently joked terther,
sad ha Led called her hie little wife. He had saver Isla
saything in her conduct to induce him to come to the am.
elusion that she was other than • truthful well-conducted
child. He examilied the child end observed sonar marks of
violence.

Crows-examined—Wane= was Dot one of the trustees to
Eugenia. He was on iatimate terms with the family, bat
had Dever dined with them. The mother told him a por-
tion of the alleged indecencies in the presence of the child.
He w.s ...ire that he stated upon the former trial that he
observed mush of violence.
Mr. James called the attention of the witness to the
shorthand writer's Dotes on the former proceeding, and
was pressing him upon the point, when Mr. Gay fainted,
and was removed from the court.

Mr. James Pratt, an attorney at Wootton Barlett, and
his nos, were examined.

The Rev. Mr. Brighton deposed that ►bout three
years ago Eugenia Plummer was at his school,
and she was a well-cooducted truthfulchild, and remarkably
simple-minded.
With the examination of the pollee-constable who made
the arrest of Mr. Hata, the case for the defence closed, and
the court then adjourned.
