Clara Johuson deposed, that she heed as servant

scribed the state of health of the young Indy ns
most deplorable. and remembered that when she
told her master how ill sloe was, he said that was
just what he wasted. She added, that when her
mistress wrist to chapel. on Sunday, her master came
to her, sad sent her out with the child before she
bad time to clean herself; and that whets Mr.
Power came to see Mow Dalton, Mr. Shipman
Song down his hat its a great rage, and said he was
st whre. _

In her crooweminsinstion she but increased the
violence against the Promotive. She heard Miss
Dalton say in her delirium. that her sinister had
broken her tooth ; and while she was deprived of
her setter% Mr.Shipaisu pat his hand upon her re,.
eon under the bedclothes.
Martha Ike, the nurse, who attended Miss
Dike's en Wednesday night, deposed, that site was
quiie delirious, end that Shipman had acted while
she was so in the manner described. Again he
came. a id asked whether Miss Dalton lied asked
for hien ? to which witness replied. " that she had
its her delirium." “ Ah I poor girl," said he.
1, she always esti for i.e."
Mr. Power. surgeon. of Hinckley. said, he vi •
sited Moo Dalton en Tuesday. the il3rl December,
when he found her very faint. She had a small and
frequeut pulse, and complained of a pain in the
lwail, sod coasts. is the feet, and looked execs.
sively ill. She made the cmnmenication to him
which she had stated to the Colin. On Wednes-
day morning she was much worse ; she had spent •
delirious night, her pulse had iucieased in action.
and the witness recomisiewded another opinion to
be takers. She wits very delirious, but her Mem.
plaint was attended with land intervals. Witness
was not prepared to say that laudanum would pro-
duce libidinousness; a sinoll dose would produce
excitement ; • large one, stupor.
Mr. DISIMAII rose for the defence. He repre-
Vented that. if charges of thi' kind were entertain-
ed *Worm the stroogest evidence, is. man could
vent ore alone into the presence •l a woman. The
cast was one of prejudice, and wholly destitute of
truth; arid it rested with the Jury to draw that
glaring contrast which existed between what had
her► iiintedand what was pruhable in order to come
at the facts. It was undeniable, that if the Dr.
fessdant was guilty, he was gushy in the most
heinoui degree but what was there to oppose so
such a .appositioir ? If he was guilty. his wife
coal family muss have been accomplices. This
*am as impossible as the evidence wm inconsistent.
The lady was, in hs opinion,notivithotenditig the false
iimerisoirs she had Made. en •hject of unmixed com-
passion. Mr. Deismou then, no the most ingenious
tnasoirr, proceeded to 'hew that Miss Dalton must
hive cookte. ref the wish to render medic I assistance
into toohiiig less 'ban love, and the application of the
nee. awry medicines fur the correction of a diserdet
milord to girls, into the administering of ;Oilers

ihmeerous i• was to allow the child to he separated
at so perilous* are age from her natural protector.,
Ind attributed Ow in aloe.' of she girl to the naive-
tuou. current of her pasqiins. He then pointed
out to tio• Jury what he conceived to lie a decided
inconsoster,cy between the reidmitv of Mi-s Dalton
and the servant, and dwelt upon the propriety of
the Delendaist's conduct as a friend to the young
lady, with the most brilliant eloquence. The
speech made a deep impresSion.
The Judge .0 d up the evidence, and quick
ly taut before the Jury the firteq..l Pruritic" of
which there had beets such a:minima proof. He
par tiro liniy dwelt opn the tempi& to a wife and
chothen in the complicated li.eoess of Shipunin's
cionioct to an helpless and unproiecitil female.
Tifr Jury returned a verdict of Gaiihy.
The Judge immediately priesed sentence to the
del.glit of the Court. Mr. Shipman saw. adjudged
to pay a fine of One Hundred Poniirls. and to he
imprisoned for twelve tale. dor months.
This was the only iiitere.ting case Miring the
Asssses.
