mid, Holloway, described as &gentleman, and who stated
that be held the commission of captain in one of her

market of having unlawfully assaulted and beaten his
servant, Camline
Mr. John Wakelinm solicitor, prosecuted on behalf of
the Socieq for the Protection of Wounu and Children ;
and Mr. Montague Williams, barrister, defended.

The facts of the previous examination in this crust were
fully repotted in the body News of the instant, and it
will be remembered that the complainant had been in the
'entre of the defendant since the 27th July. On Satur-
day, the 16th of August, her mistress went to Yarmouth,
leaving her and the defendant at home. A little before 12
o'clock the same night the defendant told her to turn off
the gas and fasten up the house. She did so, and went to
bed, and some time afterwards the defendant called to her
to hnng a candle. She told him that there was one on the
Maim, but as he continued to call to her, she put her dress
over her night gown sad went into the nom. He then
areaulted her, and said "Come into my bed awl sleep with
me. as Ido not like to sleep by myself." She serimuned
and struggled and got away from him, ran down stairs,
opened the street-door, and went into the street, the
defvxdant following her in his night dress as fur as the
door. Although the neighbours and the pollen
asked the defendant to give the complainant her
hoop and clothes he refused, and when he was
spoken to afterwards by the girl's father and
Policr-eonetable Robinson, 88 N, one of the warrant
efferent of the court, he said he " did not indecently
ateault the girl, as he was in bed at the time," and after-
wards he said, •• Well, I did take hold of the girl's hand
to feel her pulse, as I thought she was ill."
The girl was recalled, and, in answer to Mr. Williams,
she said she had been ill, and had had a fit that
day. She slid not go to his berleide voluntarily—he pulled
her tuwaith him. She ran away into a nom and locked
the door. He came to the door and told her to wawa
it, or he woald break it open. When be went
away she op( ned the dour, and ran down stairs awl into
the 'Meet. At half-past ten the following morning she
rot riser the back garden wall, having previously kneeled
at the front door two or three• times and obtained no
answr r, and finiling the lock door open she called to her
nester and oskea him if she could have her 'deftest. Ile
tell he r that she could have them, said she went in and
took mine of them. She was in the h•euse about five
JJ i!! uti P. and when-he went in he was rip. but when ehe
:one eat lee was ire her Ia d. When she went into the
house• there were persons in the• yard on beth if it.

(lily. The whole 'dory was IS very improbable one, and
lie toot. tided that the ca.,,e ought to be dismissed. If the
rate was tent before a jury, it would be immediately
of be verdict of acquittal.
Mr. Cooke said if the girl's story WWI rOrMet, it Wa,

Sessi(.ns for trial : and if the jury. believed the girl, they
would Lave no lie,itation in convicting.
Mr. Williams a'ked upon what charge the defendant
would be committed. Would it be for the indeouut
so,ault, or would it be for a common assault t

hlr. Cooke said that the defendant would be committed
for the common assault. Ile then cautioned the defen-
dant, and itiked him if he had anything to say in answer
to the charge.
The defy ndant mid that he should romans his defence.
Mr. Williams asked that hail might he taken, and that
the am t might he fixed as low as possible.

an officer in the army, and that he wanted to go out to
India to join his regiment. If small hail was Liken the
da fondant would not surrender.
