ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
HOME CIRCUIT.—Guildford, Aug. 5.
CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Lerd Chat' Justice JERVIS and
a Special Jury.)
GRIFFITHS V. DE L'ESPINESSE AND ANOTHER. This case, which was one of ahextraordinury nature,
was commenced to-day, and after occupying the Court
until past six o'clock, it wag alowned.
Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., Mr. Dawson, and Mr. Lush
were for the plaintiff; Sergeant. Shee, Mr, Bramwell,
Q C., and Mr. Willis were for thedefendant.
The declaration alleged that the plaintiff, who sued by
her next friend, her uncle, being a young girl, had been
Placed in the charge of the defendants, who were the
principal and deputy lady superiors of a Roman Catholic
establishment at Norwood, and alit they undertook to
provide her with proper food and nourishment, and other
necessaries; and it then went on to allege that as a
breach of that undertaking the defendants had neglected
to provide proper food, that they worked her beyond
her strength, and that they had improperly confined and
otherwise ill-treated her, the consequence of which was
that she became very ill and distorted in her body, and
eventually lost the sight of one eyls.
The defendants pleaded, first, -snot guilty; secondly,
that they were not the managers of the establishment in
question, and also that the plaintiff had not been placed
in the establishment for the purpotes, and in the manner
mentioned in the declaration. .
Mr. CHAMBERS, opened the case to the jury.
Kenneth Griffiths, the plaintiff was then examined.
She was very plain looking, but apparently an intelligent
girl. She said—l am 15 years old. I was residing
lately in the establishment at Norwood, kept by the de-
fendant. I first went there in October, 1849, and con-

pointed in April, 1851. The naine,of the religious was
St. Tones do Gouzin. The eeher defendant was called
Madame H. Theodore. She was at the convent all the
lime I was there. Our diet consisted of soup for break-
fast. The soup was made of rico sad grease. For dinner
we had soup of the same description, and sometimes moat,
and for supper we had usually vegetables, such as cab-
bage. We had meat about three times a week. We used
to get up at four in the morning, andSwent to bed at nine. I
was sometimes engaged in washing frem six in the morning

days. I also used to help to clean the establishment.
The washing was only on one day in the week. We had
as much meat as we could eat. There was .a trial class,
which was for punishment. We used to get up at the
usual time, and were placed on a last stool, and placed
close to the wall, and not allowed to look round or
speak. This was continued from four in the morning
till Dino at night.: It was a whitewashed wall we bad to

This was part of our punishment. When I loft the con-

Before I came twat a person, whom I believe from his
dress to be a priest, came to our house and he had an
interview with my aunt. I don't know what he said to
her, because I was not present at their interview.

ments, one at Somers-town, and the other at Totten-
ham. A Man named Waghorn formerly lived in the
same house with her aunt, but she did not know that
they lived as man and wife, but she had heard her aunt
called b the name of Waghorn. She had also heard
y
her called The name of her present
husband was Couty. The bishop of the district recom-
mended her, for admission to the Tottenham establish-
ment. She was in a similar religious establishment in
France, and came back to England in 1847. Her
real name was Griffiths, and she was told that Dr.
Griffiths was her father. The bishop got her admitted
to the establishment at Norwood in the name of Grif-
fiths. He knew she was the same person ho had be-
friended before in another name. The nuns at Somers-
town always called her O'Grady. When she went to the
Norwood establishment she was not very weak and
sickly, and she was not aware that her breath smelt
offensively. The orphanage portion of the convent and
that of the lady boarders were separated. The ladies
paid for their board, but the orphans were kept there
by charitable persons. While she was in the convent
she wore the dress of the orphan inmates, and was in-
structed in Frebch, geography, reading and writing,
needle-work, washing and ironing. She went to the
establishment in July and she was not punished until the
month of October following. They were allowed two
,hourp for recreption every day. In wiater time they got
up at•blalf..past four., and in summer at ,four, and, they
went to read at nine. All the girls sin the orphanage '
class rose at the same hour. The soup they had seemed

her before her eyes were had, but it was not on account
of her nose smelling offensively. When the doctor
attended her he ordered her to have roast meat twice
a day, and porter, but none of these things were
given to her until the week before she left
the establishment. The doctor, on account of
state of her ordered that she should be kept in
the shade, and eyes,

present. Madame Theodore told thedoctor she had the

She never told her aunt
Her aunt asked her if she was well treated, and she told
her she could not answer her, and this excited her sus-
picion, and induced her to make the inquiry which led
to her being removed from the convent. No change was
made in her food until the last week she was in the
house, and she had no beer all given to her. All she
had was water coloured witt
. beer The first punishment
a
she underwent was having
paper pinned upon her
head with the words "il faut vous mefier de cet enfant"
upon it. The children all spoke French in the
establishment. She was accused of taking some
needles from another child, and. she was punished for
that. She was also charged writing her name in
a'book that did not belong twitr. She was placed in
the trial class before the affair ofe the robe being pre-
sentedsto Cardinal Wise'man. Was quite sure of that.
Would swear that she was confined wa int the closet from-
four o'clock in.the morning till nine at for eight
days running. The Cardinal, at the tiwn the robe was
presented to him, asked if she had worked any portion

sent to do the work in the kitchen as aiittaniisd punishment the
moment he left. He was not Cardinal at that
time, and

nishment of prostration only once in the presence of Ma-
dame Theodosia. Her aunt was an Irishwoman. She
was not formerly a Catholic, but had become one, and
witness had been brought up a Catholic. After she left
the convent, she went to an infirmary
she received some assistance
from Lady Arundel, to en-
able her to do so.

Reexamined—The cold and damp and the hard wotk
of the kitchen made her ill. She repeatedly applied
to Madame Theodosia to releive her from it, but she
said she could not do so without the consent of the Su-
perior.

Mr. Alexander, the oculist, deposed that the plaintiff
was brought to his residence in Cork-street by her aunt,
and he was told that she had come from the establish-
ment at Norwood. The sight of her left eye was com-
pletely gone, and from the condition of the right'eye he,
had some fear for that also. The plaintiff appeared very
feeble and debilitated, and he ordered that she should
have nutritious food, and good sound beer every day.
The second time he saw her the child did not appear to
mend at all, stid her eye looked worse. He inquired if
she had had the description of food he recommended,
and he believed he made the same inquiry of the priest,
who accompanied them. After the priest had left with
the child, he had an interview with her aunt, and recom-
mended her to remove the child, and a fortnight after,
when he her again, there was a marked improve-
ment in her appearance. The plaintiff was evidently of
a very scrofulous habit.
Two other medical gentlemen were called, who ex-
pressed an opinion that at the time they saw plaintiff her
appearance showed that she was not receiving proper
nourishing food, such as her condition required.
Mr. Leveine, the clerk to Mr. Cooper, toe attorney for
nighte that she did not intend to
expenses. IL had been the plaintiff, said that for a week before the trial was
expected to come on he had endeavoured to see Cardinal
Wiseman, and servo him with a subpoena, but was unable
to do so. He had not served the aunt of the plaintiff

Said that she-held the office of superior of the este-
, bli.dament at Norwood until the month of June, 1851,
when the defendant, Madame do l'Espinesse, succeeded
her. There was an orphanage attached to the convent,
for the education of the poor, and the chief aim of the
education afforded them was to enable them to obtain
their living in the world. They were taught reading,
writing, grammar, how to wash, &c., and they assisted
in doing the work of the house. They usually rose at
half-past four or five, and went to bed at nine, and dif-
ferent periods were allowed them for recreation during
the day. They had for their meals during the
day soup, bread and cheese, fruit, and vege-
tables, and four times a week they had moat.
The trial class room was a large room with two win.
dews in it, and the faces of the children were turned to
the wall to prevent them from having the temptation
of speaking. They were never confined in this room
for any lengthened period, but were always permitted to
have their meals and to take exercise during the day
When the plaintiff came to the institution she appeared
to bo very weak and feeble,
and appeared scrofulous, and
seemed to have something the matter with her nose.
Only 121. was paid with her for one year, and she was;,
treated with every kindness and attention while she was
in the establishment
Cross-examined—Cardinal Wiseman paid her the 121.
That was all she received. The Cardinal did not bring
her himself to the institution, but he had a very great
kindness for her. There was no regular dietary table
except for the poor children. Tho boarders were better
fed. Thera were two classes of nuns in the establish-
ment; lay and clerical, and one of each' class superin-
tended the kitchen arrangements. A certain amount of
food was allowed for the children, but she believed they
alwayS bad more. When any of the children required
it meat was given to them every day. They always
had moat meat for dinner on Thursdays.' It was either

ROYAL WEbTERN YACHT CLUB
REGATTA.
PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY.—The annual meeting of the
yachts belonging to the Royal Western Yacht Club, the
1?oyal Yacht Squadron, and other kindred institutions
comm, need here yesterday under the most favourable
and encouraging auspices.
This regatta, us is perhaps well known, was in honour
of Prince Alfred's birth-day, and it needed but her Ma.
jesty's cup to make the interest of it complete; but
even this deficiency will, no doubt, be again supplied on
some no very distant occasion, from the fact of the deep
interest her Majesty has felt in the welfare of this great
naval depot, as expressed by her on her late visit.
The first race on the card was a schooner race for
451., open to all schooners bona fide the property of a
member of a Royal Yacht Club, and holding the Admi-
ralty Warrant, for which the following yachts, were
entered:—

Bianca, C. F. Webster, Esq. ; Princess Olga, J. Ruther-
ford, Esq.; Coquette, Lord Godolphin; Julia, F. Dug-
more, E,q.; Halcyon, Sir W. Snow Harris.
The course was through the eastern channel of the
breakwater, round a mark vessel moored off the Mew-
stone, thence to another mark vessel moored off Penlee
Point, leaving both on the starboard hand, returning
through the Western Channel rounding the buoy of the
Cobbler, which was to be left on the, pit hand, thence
round the committee vessel, which was also. to be left on
the port hand, proceeding again round the course as
before, such vessel to be the winning-post in the last
round, passing between it and the shore. A time race
on Ackeed scale.

All being in readiness, the starting gun was fired at
11h. 13m. 305., and a very excellent start was effected,
but the Bianca, like lightning, got her mainsail and top
sail set, and soon shot ahead, followed closely in her
wake by the Coquette, and thirdly by the Princess Olga,
the halcyon and Julia being somewhat tardy 'in getting
under weigh. The Bianca seemed to gather the wind
very rapidly, and went round the Mevvstone under a
heavy press of sail, but on getting round the breakwater.
the Princess Olga managed to overhaul her,' and sue-.
ceeded in first rounding "themark,:•vessel Penlee ,Point,
followed closely by the Bianca. On rountlini'the. Cob-
bler, the Princess Olga close reefed, was running under
a heavy press of sail, her mainmast bending like a rod,
but she appeared to stand- seer-ender it, altheitigh ea

pelled to lower her topgaffsa,il, but this was of little
im-
portance, and sbe cam() abreast of the committee vessel

The signal gun was fired at 11h. sm. 153., and
scarcely a moment had elapsed when the Musquito shot
out a head from among the group, leading away in a
manner that showed that she was in excellent hands,
followed closely by the Bacchante and Violante. An
unfortunate incident occurred at this early period, by
which the chances of the War Hawk, a fine vessel, and
sister to the winner of one of the great prizes at the
Imperial Regatta at St. Petersburgh, were completely
frustrated. No sooner bad she attempted to get up
mainsail, when her mainsail halyard gave way, and her
sail fell upon the deck. This Was such an accident that
would, under ordinary circumstances, have been aSU
.thent reasorefor at once giving up the coatest,butL
energy of her crew was not to be daunted, and it was
truly astonishing to see how soon her hands mounted the

With this race terminated the proceedings of the da
pamouTa, FRIDAY.—The amusements providedvyf;
this daY
were both varied and multifarious, comprising
the Town Plate of 501., presented by the inhabitants tf
plymouth; a cutter race for 25/, besides nine (Aber
sailing and rowing matches for divers sums varying
from 101. to 501.

The occasion was honoured by the presence of the
ex-Queen of the French, the Duke and Duchess ot Ne-
mours and suite, who were on a visit to the Port Ad-
miral, Sir John Ommaney. A spacious tent was
erected for their accommodation, on the grounds of the
Citadel, where the royal party, with Admiral Si: John
Omroanev and other efficer3, remained during the
greater part of the afternoon, and appeared to be highly
f:ratified with the amusements that were going on below.
The band of the 35th Regiment was stationed near the
ramparts, and entertained the visitors with some very
choice music. The vessels in the harbour, as before,
were dressed in the colours of different countries, and
with the numerous yachts that dotted the Catwater and.

The following vessels were entered:—
' -Volante, 48 tons, Mr. J. L. Craggie; War Hawk, 50

borough.
The course was as follows:—On the signal being made
to start the vessels to proceed through the eastern chan-
nel of the breakwater, round a mark vessel, moored off
the Mew Stone, thence to another mark vessel moored
off. Peplee Point, leaving both on the starboard hand, re-
turning through the western channel, rounding the buoy

be the winning-post in the last round
passing between it and the shore.
A good start took place at lh. 2631 in. 30sec , with a
stiff breeze blowing from the W.S.W., the Volante. as
usual being the first to get under weigh. The Mesquite
was slow to set her mainsail, during which time the
War Hawk took a lead about the length of her bowsprit,
but no sooner had the Musquito made sail than she lay
close to the wind, soon recovered her lost ground, and
passed rapidly in advance, with a fair prospect of over-
hauling the Volante, who was now making her way ra-
pidly up the eastern channel. On proceeding towards
the Shagstone Rock a schooner came nearly athwart of
the War Hawk, and for the time took the wind out of
her sails, but the schooner put about and she proceeded
a short distance astern of the Musquito. They all pro-
ceeded in this order for some considerable distance, but
on getting outside the breakwater they got a heavy lop
of sea, which the Musquito soon found to her advantage
to overhaul the Volante, and

way outside the Breakwater, under a heavy press of sail,
her mainmast snapped in two, and fell over, dragging
down her mainsails, bat this was preserved, we believe,
uninjured. The Volante immediately gave up the race,
and went to her assistance, and signals were made to the
Musquito that the match was for the present at an end.
She accordingly put about and returned, and a warp

upon her, she followed the example set her by the Fawn,
and retired, leaving the Secret in undisputed possession
of the course. The Secret then continued the remainder

Iu the afternoon, a great number of races got up by the
Town Regatta Committee fcllowed, the first of which
watt bribe ordinary boats of the dockyard belonging to

women of Saltash, who appear to be brought up to the
use of boats almost from infancy, were the only com-
petitors, and, as may be expected, their appearance at
the starting: pot, in their singular attire, excited no
small d.,greo of amusement. At the given signal four
boats started, and the way these aquatic Amazons pulled
away at tho oar would have put many of the would-be
amateurs of the " rougher" sex to the blush for the
feebleness of their exertions. We did not learn the
names of the fortunate " ladies" who became entitled to
the prize, as some wrangling was going on among them,
