Mr. BINGHAM asked if them was any other case?
Mr. Chapman bbiti to,re `vas :lo other ca6e. The ocher
girl had only been asked by Berrington to go to the de-
fendant's houie, but ••be had been stopped from going.
The complainant said 13errington had told her the de-
fendant had p;;Teunded her to bring is many young girls
to him fV, she could. . _

Mr. BINGHAM—WeII, I am ready to hear the defen-
dant's answer.
Defendant—l em perfmly innocent of the charge. I
had no felonious intention. Miss Berrington's father, a
clergyman, lived in my house, and I was very kind both
to father and daughter; in fact, I almost supported both
of ahem. Thi- daughter sometimes called upon me, and
once when she called she told me she was staying in a
place of refuge near Soho-quare. The last time she
called she brought a young girl with her. That girl had
been three or lour tunes to my house before, and had
taken wine with me. Instead of screaming out, as she
says, she did nothing but tatigh and giggle; end if I had
any such intention as she has staled, I might have
succeeded without any difficulty; but I had no such
intention.
The girl Newberry was recalled.

Mr. 13 INGHAM—Have you been three or four times to
the defendant's huuse, and ha►e you had wiue with him,
as he has stated?

Mary Ann Newberry—l went with Berrington once
before, but the defendant was not at home. I only saw
the defendant on the last occasion, and it was then he
offered us wine, and I drank some.
Mr. BINGHAM—The Rev. Mr. Berrington is well
known at this court, and, if I mistake not, has stood
more than once at that bar.
The defendant said his knowledge of Berrington and
his daughter was hut slight.
Mr. BINGHAM (addressing Mr. Chapman) —Have you
reason to think tne girl Berrington was in the habit of
taking other girls to the d4endant's house? Mr. Chap-
man—lcannot say for certain.
Defendant—l am a highly respectable man.
Mr. Brlicue.st (to Mr. Chapman)—lf you think there
is no chance of any further charges of this sort against
the defendant—that of inveigling or inducing girls from
your institution to come to this house, I am of opinion
this case ought to be sent to the sessions; but, if you in-
sist upon it, lam ready to dispose of it here. But, if
you have any notion that other girls have been taken to
the defendant's house, I think it ought to go to the
quarter-sessions. Mr. Chapman—l cannot say there
have been other girls taken there. I understand Bet,-
rington stated to the matron that the defendant induced
her to take other girls to his house.

Defendant—l deny that. The girl Newberry has
been at my house three or four times. She e ore three
.rich a felonious intent, and that I might do whet I
pleased wito her. I certainly kissed her, and unpinned
her shawl, but that was ull. There were persons in the
house at the time, who must have heard her sere,ms, if
she had made any noise, but I was taken in the street
quite unprepared, and brought to this court.

.
Mr. BINGHAM—If you have been taken unprepared,
and if you think you suffer injustice on that acccount, I
will give you an opportunity of being prepared by re-
manding the case. Defendant—l can produce evidence
to show she has been several times at my house.
Mr. BINGIIAM—You are entitled to have the case
adjourned to prepare yoursf.lf—is that what you want?
Defendant (hesitating)—lf you think it is requisite.
Mr. BINGHAM —That is your affAir, riot mine. You
say you are taken unawares and unprepared; it is for
you, not me, to elect whether you will have the case ad-
journed. Do you want time to prepare your defence?
Defendant—Why, if you don't think me perfectly in-
nocent of

Mr. BINGUAM—I'II stop the sentencs there. Ido not
think you aro perfectly innocent, and therefore I'll give
you until to-morrow to produce your witnesses. In the
meantime I should recommend you, Mr. Chapman, to
inform yourseil Wittier about the proceedings of the girl
Berrington.
The defendant was ultimately ordered to enter into his
own rect gnizances in 2001 to appear the next day.
