MAR YLEBONE.
Henry Smith, shopman to a linendraper, at 44. Regent-
street, and Robert Denny Christmas, assistant at the
house of a lately deceased surgeon, Mr. Fairbrother, 68,
London-road, Sauthwark, were brought up on a warrant
by Whipp, the officer, and placed before Mr. Broughton,
on the serious charge of having administered a certain
noxious medicine to a young woman named Anne Obee,
with intent to procure abortion.
The investigation occupied upwards of two hours, and
excited considerable interest.

Prosecutrix, who-bad just left the Marylebone In-
firmary, and was still in a very weak condition, on being
sworn, said—l have known Smith nearly five years, and
intimacy has taken place between us, which led to my
being in the family-way. Christmas is a young surgeon.
While I was living in service at 3, Cambridge-street,
Paddington, Smith visited me, and frequently took mes
to a house near Hanover-square. I had previously
been servant at his father's in Blandford-street,k Da. EL

friend) had given the

Mr. Bitou"T°l4 _Did he make any observation fur-
ther than what you have stated when he gave you the
two bottles? Prosecutrix—Yes,
he said that if I took it
I should never want for anything as long as he was liV.
I had before told him that the stuff was very nau-
seous, and that I could scarcely swallow it.
Mr. BaoramiToN—Did anything more pass). Prose-
cutrix—He said it was a disgrace for a single woman to
have a child. He wished to prevent it if possible, and if
I would behave upright to him he would do so to me.
He mentioned that he would wish to marry me and go
abroad, but that his circumstances would not then per-
mit of his taking that step. The mixture which he
brought to me was to be taken in four doses. I took the
contents of one bottle and threw the other one away.
What I did take made me vomit directly, and I felt very
ill for some time afterwards. I was in good health
before.

Mr. BuouawroN-LWhen did you next see Smith?
Prosecutrix—On the Friday week following, when I
told him I had taken the medicine. He then said that
his friend had recommended that I should leave my
situation, and take a lodging, and he (Smith) said that
he would pay my expenses. I quitted my place on the
30th of last January, and, after lodging a few days in
Seymour-place, I went to 13, Little Marlborough-
street, at which house the prisoners called upon nie

together; up to that time I had not known the prisoner
Christmas. He (Christmas) asked me if I felt sick, and
also put other questions to me, and after iedieg my neck
he told Smith that that was all ho required. They both
then went away. On the same evening Smith came
again, bringing with him three powders, one of which I
took, he having told me that he had brought them from
his friend. Ile carried two away with him, but came
upon the two next days, upon each of which occasions I
took another powder. They were brown, and extremely
nauseous.

By Mr. BaouctroN—When he took the powders
away at first he said he did so in order that they might
not be seen by any ono in the room, and he was afraid
to trust me with them. During the fortnight I was
lodging in Little Marlborough-street, Christmas came to
see me every day. I had given him no reason why, as
a medical man, he should have visited me, and never
asked him to do so. He gave me three powders in addi-
tion to what Smith had given to me, and all that had
been brought to me were of the same colour. He (Christ-
mas) wrote upon a piece of paper, "A. 8., 68, London_
road," and gave me au envelope, telling me that I
was to post it if any pains came on. A pain did come
on, and I posted it as directed, and ho came to see me
in the evening, when he asked me if I was afraid, and I
told him I was. He sounded my side with an instru-
ment, and told me to go to bed, promising to come in
the morning. He did come, and I told him I was in a
great deal of pain. lie brought me two bottles of green
medicine, with directions that I should take a wine-glass
full three times a day. I took the mixture as ordered.
When I left Marlborough-street, I took a lodging in
Little Circus-street, and while there Christmas brought
to me a phial containing a red liquid, which, at his de-
sire, I drank, and he took the bottle away.
When in my former lodging I had told him that I would
take no more medicine, but ho said as I had began I
must go on with it, or it would be the worse for me, for
if I went back to my situation a doctor might be called
in, and every one would know it if I was taken ill.
By Mr. BROUGUTON—Smith came to me when I was
in Marlborough-street, and on the first Sunday I was
there he asked me if it was " all over." I told him it
was not, when he said that his friend had assured him
all would bo right, and that I might take a situation.
Smith has, upon more than one occasion, given me money.
A great deal of other evidence was gone into by the
prosecutrix, and her statements were of such a nature as
to leave but little doubt with regard to the prisoners
having conspired together with the view of effecting the
offence with which they stood charged.
Whipp, one of the warrant officers of the court, said
—Yesterday evening, at eight o'clock, I was with the
prosecutrix, who, in Regent-street, pointed out to me
the prisoner Smith, whom I took into custody, and on my
telling him that he was charged with attempting to pro-
cure abortion he made no observation whatever. At the
station-house he said he knew not where Christmas was,
and in fact knew nothing at all about him. Whipp added
that he took Christmas on the same night in James-
terrace, Waterloo-road.

It was shown that the prosecutrix was confined on the
12th of August last at the Queen Charlotte Lying-in
Hospital, New-road, and that her child lived but thirteen
days Ever since her accouchement she had been in an
extremely weak and exhausted condition, and for
months past had been a patient in the Marylebone In-
firmary.
The prisoners, who were made fully acquainted with
the very serious pcsition in which they were placed,
were remanded till Tuesday next. They were allowed,
upon their application, to give bail, themselves in 200/,
and two sureties in 100/. each (with twenty-four hours'
notice), for their being forthcoming on the day above-
named.
