Yesterday, William, Wright, a boy of thirteen
yea' sof age, was indiaed tar an losault on Ana
Rawlins, a child of nine years of age, with intent
to commit a rape.
'I he attention of the Court was occupied a con-
siderable time in this case, from the absence of ma-
terial witnesses. Those who had attendyi before .he
GYand Jury, either through ignorance or negleo,
.did not aapear, and consequently the case rested en
the testimony of the child.
The Cii a teal AN took great pains to convince her
•of the danger in not speaking the truth ; and, as
she appeared capable of comprehending between
good and evil, she was sworn.
It appeared, by her evidence, that the Defendant,
a fifer in the Royal Artillery Corps, lived for a
lengh of time next door to her father and mother,
in Hog-lane, Shoreditch. On Monday, the 9th lest. •
she was standing at the door of her father's hots e,
when the Defendant. in company with another hoy , :
nine years old, asked her to accompany himao some ,
fields, where he was going to fly his kite. The, dela ,
refused to go, till she had asked her mothir6
,but i
the Defendant ar.d his companion dragged het and
hit her, and the younger boy threw her down. The
Defendant then condinael himself in a manner ton
wicked to relate ; and, after he had so conduSed
himself, the child was hastening towards home,
when he followed and again behaved so' inchscently,i
that a gentleman, who was passing, secured him, and,
- gave him in charge of two Wofnen, who took him
home with the child. She was examirked ;tea'
