TIIE LONDON ABDUCTION CASE.

At the Central Criminal Court, yesterday (Monday),
Rosa Bush, 20, spinster, was indicted under the Bishop of
Oxford's Act, for aiding in the abduction of one Elizabeth
Harris, she being a girl under the age of 14. George
Richard Clarke, who also stands charged as principal in
the act, and had absconded from nis bail, did not appear.
The prosecutrix, a pretty-looking girl, looking much older
than she stated herself to be, said she should be fourteen
in August next. She lived with her father in James-
street, Westminster. The prisoner Bush had been their
servant. She knew the man Clarke was foreman of the
bricklayers at the barracks erecting fronting her bather's
house. He had frequently spoken to her, and said that
he was an unmarried man, The witness then went on to
state that upon Monday, the 30th March, the prisoner tools
her out and put her into a cab, Bush calling before they
went at the barracks where Clarke used to work. They
went to a house at Notting-hill, when the prisoner took her
into a back room upon the second floor, and prisoner
prevailed upon her to stay, saying it was the house of
friend. Witness wanted to go home, but the prisoner
would not allow her. Upon the next day prisoner wrote
a letter, and late in the day the man Clarke came and
staid there in conversation until ten at night, when he got
into bed, and witness, at his request, went and sat upon *
chair at his bedside, when she fell asleep, and when she
awoke found herself in bed with Clarke, who was commit-
ing acts of violence upon her. She called out to the
prisoner, who pretended to be asleep upon the hearth rug-
After Clarke left prisoner kept her at the house until• her
parents found her out and took her, home. Some further
evidence having been given, the prisoner was founa
guilty'
and sentenced to nine months imprisonment.
