soner's house. I saw him (prisoner) in the street,
close to his resiclenc, and said to him, "Mr. Grange,
I want my papers, for you have not paid the debt."
He was not then sober, and the obseiwation he made
to me was, "It's quite right; the money is at the
county court, but they did not go to the proper place
to receive it." I said to him, "If you have really
paid the money, let me have the papers;" and he said
he would call upon my husband this morning at ten
o'clock. I wished him to come last night, but he
would not. I have since consulted some friends, and
by their advice I gave him into custody.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Have you made any application
to the county court relative to the affair? Witness—
No, sir.

Mr. BROUGHTON—Nor any of your friends ?' Wit-
neQs—Not that I am aware of.

By Mr. Cooper—l have known the prisoner seven
or eight years. I don't think that anything is owing
to him for any other matter than this. He has never
done business for us in connexion with Mr. Freeth
that lam aware of. He has been to Mr. Bridges, a
butcher, for my husband, and has not, to my know-
ledge, been rid for that. I don't know anything of
a promissory note for 261., due on Monday, in respect
to which prisoner was employed to ask for time. I
can't say whether he had been to Mr. Moore or not,
before he told me that all was settled. The day on
which he last told me that such was the case was on
Monday.

Rosalie Bonnet (the daughter) proved having given
the prisoner 3/. 2s. 7d. on Saturday morning, while
her father was in bed.

Mr. BROUGHTON—Was he told what he was to do
with the money ? Witness—Yes, sir ; he said he
was going to the county court upon business, upon
which my father told him to go at once and square
the matter, and bring back the paper. He agreed to
do so, but did not keep his word.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Did prisoner make mention of
anything owing to him ? Witness—Nothing what-
ever.

By Mr. Cooper—l have recently heard my father
speak to the prisoner about different matters of busi-
ness, but whether he did the business for him or not
I am unable to say.
Mrs. Bonnet was here recalled.
Mr. BROUGHTON—When the prisoner told you on
Saturday that it was all right, did he say a word
about a bill which he had against your husband for
any other business which he had done for him ? Wit-
ness—He did not.

Sergeant Rafter, 346 A—This morning I took
the prisoner into custody, at his house in Paddington-
street. I told him that I wanted him for embez-
zling money received by him for Mr. Moore, when
he said, " I thought it was about that affair that
you wanted me." I then conveyed him to the
station-house. On the way thither he asked me if
I had a warrant, and on my telling him that I bad
not, he said he thought it was not a case for me to in-
terfere in.

Mr. Cooper here begged to observe that the pri-
soner was still on the rolls, and for many years had
taken out his certificate; he, however, had not one
one now, but he could nevertheless still practise in
various matters appertaining to the profession.
Mr. BROUGHTON —He can't practise here without
a certificate.

Mr. Fell—You know, Mr. Cooper, that Mr. Long
some time ago refused to hear Mr. Grange upon an
objection being made, when he attended here on be-
half of a prisoner whom he was engoged to defend.
Mr. Cooper, in the course of many observations
which he made for the defence, admitted that the
money was paid to the prisoner, alleging at the same
time that money was owing to him for former ser-
vices done by hirn for Mr. Bonnet, and that therefore
he (prisoner) had a right to retain any paper or
papers until he was paid all that was due to him. He
(prisoner) had never said that he had paid the money,
but had simply stated that " all was settled," which
might imply that he had no intention of retaining the
sum, but that he might have seen the officer of the
court with whom he had come to an arrangement for
settling with him for payment being made in the
course of a few days. Mr. Cooper could look upon
the affair in no other light than that of a breach of
trust. He would not attempt to deny that the money
ought to be paid in, and speedily, and if that were
done he thought that, under the circumstances, nothing
more should be required of prisoner, who had a de-
mand for former services upon the prosecutor.
Mr. BROUGHTON characterised the case as being
one in which the public generally were deeply in-
terested. The prisoner had received money for a
specific object, which object had not been carried out,
and he (the Magistrate) was not quite sure that pri-
soner had not, under the 7th and Bth George IV.,
c. 29, sec. 49, rendered himself amenable to trans-
portation for not more than fourteen nor less than
seven years. It was, at all events, a case which be
should no doubt, upon another day, feel himself bound
to send to another court for trial. He would take
bail for the prisoner's appearance again next Monday,
himself in 1001. and two sureties in 50/. each.
He was then locked up.
SOUTHWARK.
Thothas Brown, a salesman in the Borough-market,
was placed at the bar before Mr. A'Beckett charged
with violating the person of Hannah Cowan.
The complainant, a girl between fifteen and sixteen
years of age, stated that she Jived in the service of
the prisoner, whose wife left town on Saturday after-
noon last, for the purpose of visiting her friends in
the country. The prisoner went to see her off, and
on his return home the same evening, and when no
persons were in the house but she (complainant) and
himself he sent her out for some spirits, and wanted
to induce her to partake of some with him. She,
however, refused, and he then endeavoured to prevail
upon her to sleep with him that night, urging her to
do so on account of both his wife and the two children
being from home. She refused to comply with his
wishes, and soon afterwards retired to her own bed-
room, the door of which had no fastening on the in-
side. In about five minutes afterwards the prisoner
entered her room undressed, and again persuaded her
to go to his bed, and finding that she still adhered to
her determination to resist his entreaties, he then Car-
ried her by force from her bed to that of his own, And
proceeded to act towards her in a manner unfit to be
described. She resisted, and escaped into her own bed-
room, and remained there during the night. The
following morning she rose at seven and the prisoner,
on hearing her getting up, again wanted her to come
to his bed, and finding that she would not comply, be
bad recourse to force, and although she struggled and
called out, he again placed her in the bed, and re-
peated the attack upon her. She subsequently left
the house, and on returning home to her mother, in-
formed her of the treatment she experienced at the
hands of her master, and her mother lost no time in
