to the jury. The defendant was the widow of Captain Rol*
Walter Knox, formerly of the Ewa India Company's
service, and in 1842 became a pensioner upon Lord Clive's
Fund for widows, which would sem upon her re-marriage.
This she bed done in 18.55, but had gore, on receiving the

THIRD COURT.
(Beton Mr. Prendorgest, Q.C.)

Thomas Heaand, • respectable I;okin.young man, said to
he • teacher in • catholic school, wee indicted for feloniously
eisaniting Hannah Peaks.
Mr. Austin presented; Mr. Ribton defended.
The prominent:, • somewhat an,viar looking young
woman, 24 yeses of ago, and whose intellect seemed to be
impaired, said that she lived with her friends at North
Hyde, near Isleween, and that upon the evening of the 22nd
of August the grinner, whom she had once or twice spoken
to, canes up, and having shaken hands with her at the gate,
forced her along the passage into the back kitchen and than
assaulted her en a very gross manner. She strap:led
violently, and her screams brought her little sister info the
kitchen. She prisoner got up and ran away.
The Commissioner, at groat length, Intarropeed the wit-
Dees to Abner's& whether she had m any way bean • coment-
log party to any freedom that might have led a lad like the
prisoner to imagine that further liberties would not have
been resisted, but she denied that she had.
Mr. Itibein briefly cromontemined the witness to the same
effect, but she strongly denied having given prisoner any
cane for hie conduct towards ber. . .

Two _children, the elate, and cousin of the prosecutriz,
proved coming into the kitchen end swill the ...mutt com-
mitted ; nod ?Amur offered Mont a sovereign not to my any-
thing about it.
Mr. Itibton having briefly addresed the jury,
The Countumioner mauled up, commenting upon the ovi•
dance.
. . . - .

Whilst the jury were deliberating the Commissioner inter-
posed several limos, and pointed out thffetent points in the
case, commenting further upon them.
Mr. Ribton, with much warmth, protested wait:lst each
a counts being pursued when a are was closed. The case
during the early part had been nearly taken out of his hands
by the bench, and from the tone in which he, the commis-
sioner, had made remarks upon what he had elicited (roan the
prosecutrix. He, the counsel, thought the commissioner en-
tertained an opinion that there was scarcely any caw, and
therefore said but little to the jw, and now he found the
jury in their deliberations interfered with by remaris from the
bench adverse to the prisoner.
The Commissioner denied that ho had taken the came out
of the ODUIVini.• Undo, or that ho bad Interfered in the mat-
ter in any way to call for the remarks which had been made
upon his conduct.
Mr. Ribton repented his objections to the course which
had been pursued by the Commissioner throughout the whole
trial.

Atter some further remarks from the bench, which pro-
voked immediate replies from the counsel, the pane, happily
for the dignity of justice, was brought to a dose, the jury
found the prisoner Guilty, and Le wee sentenced to ono
month'. imprisonment.
