THE POLICE COURT&

GIJILDHLLL.

CHARON or CRIYINAL ASSAULT. —J Solomon, of Little
Britain, again appeared before Biz Peter Laurie and Mr.
Alderman Ranter, to answer the charge of committing a
rape on his father's servant.
Mr. Robinson, the solicitor who appeared on behalf of
the girl at the two previous examinations, also attended to
day, and Mr. Lewis defended Solomon.
Mr. Lonadale, solicitor, said that he attended on behalf
of one of the brothers of the girl and wished for a remand,
as she had been taken away, and her friends were most
anxious to know where she war. He understood that a

- -
sum of 501. had bean given to the girl not to proceed further
in thefts*.
Mr. Lewis objected to such a statement being made to
prejudice his client, when he might know nothing whatever
of any money being given.
Sir Peter Laurie preferred hearing what Mr. Leetsdale had
to my.
Mr. Lonadale slid, that after the last examination on
Friday, the girl went to her lodgings and remained there
until Monday, when her sister, a Mrs. Bradshaw, took her
away, sayiag that she was her guardian.
Some further investigation into theme took place, but no
additional facts possessed of public interest were elicited.
Sir Peter Latina said he should remand the ease, as it was
one of en aggravated nature, and where most likely chloro-
form bed loses rod. It was mach used now, and for most
diegrasefel which must be pat an end to. If it
wits allow to be used for such purposes, then he should
regret that such a valuable discovery had ever been made.
Mr. Lewis thought that the mere ex parte statement of the
girl, ought not to induce the alderman to imagine that
chloroform had been used.
Mr. Alderman Hunter said that, from the girl's evidence,
it was plain some noxious drug had been administered.
Sir P. Laurie, said he should remand the case until Tues-
day next, and increase the bail, requiring Mr. Solomon to
enter into his own recognisance of WOl., and two sureties in
1001. each.
Mr. Lewis hoped that, at the next examination, some tan-
gible charge would be made out.
Sir P. Laurie said he should remand the ease from time to
time until the girl was forthcoming.
The required bail was forthcoming, and Mr. Solomon left
the court with his Mends.
