CRIMINAL COURT —(THIS DAY.
The August sessions of the Central Criminal Cour
were opened this morning by the Right Hon. the Lord
aY°l', the Recorder, Aldermen Moon, Sir W. Carden,

unctionaries.

Fla", it became very necessary to put the laws in forc,
tit:ll instances where anything like fraud was either
attempted or committed upon them. If the charges
were
made out against the accused parties, they would
certainlythe be guilty of a very serious offence. What form
"se would take he was not informed, but it would
Probably be brought before them in the shape either of
obe.hrge of conspiracy to defraud these persons, or of
ing money under false pretences. The substance
of the facts alleged against the defendants was that they
pretended a company had been established for the pur-
t°se of assisting persons to emigrate to Australia, and
b!at vessels had been chartered to proceed to the colony
with emigrants, and that under these representations
they obtained certain sums of money, which were never
eturned, and which it was suggested were fraudu-
lently received for their own private purposes,
it never having been their intention to fulfil the pro-
123ises they held out. The Learned Recorder then
briefly explained the law as it affected the prisoners
Under a charge of conspiracy us well as under one for

nins money under false pretences, and recommended
the jury to find a bill in both shapes. The next case
,was of a painful description, being against a man named
Rogers for a rape on two little girls of 11 and 13 years
of age, who worked in his own house. The only
question apparently on the depositions was ono of con-
sent or no consent. The law generally regarded very
Young females, especially below 12 years of age, as in-
capable of giving a consent at all. Above that age the
law required proof of resistance in order to constitute
the crime of rape; in the case of a full-grown woman,
it being, therefore, absolutely necessary that the grand
or common jury should see that she not only
resisted but made an early disclosure of the
offence. But this rule did not apply strictly to children
