CLERKEIVMELL, SESSIOAS,, Nov. 29.

Benjamin Deacon stood indiaed for an assault on
Sarah Chiffinge, an infant female child, of only eight_
years of age.
Mr..CoNST stated the fa&s attending this atrocious
case to the Jury, .but which, of course, it is impos-
sible to detail to our readers.

The child was called, and after being previously
examineckas -to her knowledge of the nature and ob-
ligation of an oath, was sworn. She stated, that on
Sunday, the 31st of July last, her parents, pawn-
brokers in Caroline-street, Bedford-square, and fa-
mily, dined at the house of the. Defendant, who is
a pastry-cook; in Orange-street, Red Lion-square;
she described the Defendant as having in the close
of the evening, taken the lirost indecent
with .hee; she slept at the honse of the Defendant;
the next morning she went 11QM-e, and afterwards
to school ; she.said, that on hei return from school
the same day, .she cotnplained to the/maid-servant
of being unwell, and also told her the cause ; she
did not at that time disclose the circumstance to any
other person, until about three months 'after,. wh'ea
a she was questioned by Udy, a friend of the fay
rally, upori which the Defendant was taken into
custody. She told the same story before the Magi-,
strate as she related now.

Thomas Chitiinge, the father of the child,•-con-
filmed her testimony as to their siiehding the day
aboyementioned with the ,Delendanf; he observed

him toying with the child, and jokingly spoke to
him on the occasion, but could not conceive it po,r
sible tor any impropriety to be practised by him ; he
had lived in habits of great intimacy with the De-
fendant for several years.
• „ _

,
Sarah- Cullan was servant to the last witness at the
time spoken of;. remembered the family dining
with the Defendant; She. swore that it was about
ten days after that the child complained to her; she
was. positive it was not on the next day, nor for many
days after; she never, informed her mistress of it,
nor any one else, until the 13th of OEtober follow-
ing,, when, upon some occurrence,' not given in
evidence, .she told Miss Longman, the friend before
alluded to.

- •
The Child, who had been sent out of Court dur-
ing the examination of the last witness, was again
called and interrogated as to the time she had com-
plained to the servant, when she swore positively it
was on the next day, and also that she had told her
the Defendant was the cause.

TWo other witnesses were called who were pre-
sent when the examination took place at Bow-street,
whet) the Defendant denied the most Serious part of
the charge, but admitted he had taken some im-
proper liberties -with the child,, and said the child
had done so by him.
Here,the evidence for the Prosecution dosed; and
Mr. GURNEY addressed the Jury for the Delendaa,
urging, the contrariety of evidence between the child
and the servant, as raising reasonable ground for
doubt, and offering evidence of good .character to
turn the scale.- •

A cloud of witnesses appeared, who spoke in the
hikhest terms to his moral charaaer, as a husband
and father, and their belief of his being incapable of
the condud imputed to

&nce to the Jury, \vb.() found a verdia—Guitty.
The Court passed sentence, that he be confined
for twelve months hi Cold Bath-fields prison.

MARLBOROUG es-STREET.—Yesterday Sarah Seale,
and a man of the name of ffeightman, charged with
taking Insurances in a Little Go, were again brought
Op, but the Prosecutrix did not appear. A receipt
was banded to the Magistrate, signed by the'Prose-
cutrix, and witnessed by a person present, acknow-
ledging the payment els]. as a return for the sums
of money she had paid the Detenants. at various
times. This receipt stated, that the Prosecutrix had
threatened an aetion at law for the recovery of her
money, and the Defendants not choosing to risk a
verdil, had paid the money in consequence of the
threat of an action.
.The Magistrate was therefore
under the necessity of discharging the Defendants.

tween 60 and 70 years of age, was brought up and

COURT OF KING'S *BENCH, Nov. 29.

;. This day the sittings after term commenced at
Weitininster, before Lord ELLENBOttOUGH, and
Common Juries.

WYBURNE V. HUNT.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated, that this was
an aCtion brought by the Plaintiff, an Attorney of
the Cowt, against Mr. Henry- Hunt, one of the
Trustees of Mr. Laurence Williams, to recover
671. 6s. Bd. for business done for these Trustees.
Mr. Laurence Williams, of Nicholas-lane, mer-
chant, had employed the Plaintiff as his Attorney
three actions were brought against -•hiM, and he had
put in bail bonds, but his affairs becoming embar-
rassed, -he, in a state of insolvency, contreyed his
property to certain Trustees, and, amongit others,
to Mr. Hunt, fort he purpose of distribution amongst
his creditors.. The
_three actions still pending, Mr.
Wyburne was b&knowledged by the Trustees as
,their attorney for conducting them, as well as four
others, which were afterwards brought against Mr.
Williams. The question in this case, was; whether
the Trustees were to be liable 'for the expence of
defending these actions, in' consequence of the co-
v.mant in the trust deed r

Mr. Laurence Williams, after being properly re-
leased, deposed as' to his embarrassment in 1805,-
and-his execution of the trust deed alluded to. Mr. -
Hunt was one of the parties who had signed it, and
he was present at a meeting when some directions
were given by Mr. Hunt, and the other.trostees,
to Mr. Wyburne, relative to the defence of said
aedons; upon which occasion he was told he should
be paid out -of the effeas of die trust estate. Mr.
Wyburne accordingly went on , defending these
.aEtions, and he had since seen him at a meeting of-
the :trustees, convened for the purpose of making
them acquainted with the progress made under the -
trust deed. in the course of carrying that trust
deed into et-FM, certain ditlicylties occurred, and
it was found necessary to give it up, and that a new
one should be granted, together with a deed of
Composition, ;by whieli the creditors Were to' be lia-
ble fOr all expences, according to the amount of
their debts. 'Mr. Hunt made it the ground-work
of the new deed, that the former Trustees .should
be indemnified for the liability they had: incurred
in carrying the first deed into effeel,..sO•far as it had
proceeded. This second deed was in April, 1806,
and Mr. Hunt, upon being applied to by Mr; Wy-
burne, for money, said he did not wish to part with
any till he was completely ciiScharceed. That;.. was
about three or foot weeks ago ; and he supposed he,
Mr. Hunt, had had money in his possession about
twelve months, and was then possessed of nearly
1,7001. of the trust funds.
'Mr. Burke, tornierly Clerk to Mr. Wyburne,
now his partner, deposed, that he had delivered a
copy of the bill of costs to Mr. Hunt, upon the 4th
bf March, 1806, and had demanded pay mentsthere-
of ; upon which Mr. Hunt observed, they were rather
in.a greater'. hurry than necessary ; that there was
no dOubt but Mr. Wyburne must be .paid, but .thlit
the Trustees were not then: prepared to do so, they
having no money in their hands.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH thought there was not suffi-
cient evidence, that there was actually money in the
hands of the Trustees belonging to the trust estate,
at the time, when the first action was brought. for
payment of this account (this being the second ac-
tion),' the Jury must nonsuit the .Plaintiff---Plaintiff
nonsuited.

JOHN HUGGUED V. EDWARD DAVIES.

• This was an action brqught, by the tuner of mu-
sical instruments to Messrs: Broadwood, for pay-
ment of 3 I I. 10s. for a piano-forte furnished to the
Defendant, a dealer in 'salt provisions, in Broad-
street.

•
The evidence had not proceeded far, before. it ap-
peared that‘ the Defendant had, upon various- dcca;-
signs, accommodated the Plaintitf by discounting
bills, and had:kik:wily a claim against him for a ba-
lance.—Plaintiff nonsuited.

BLORE V. WATKINSON..

This was an action bra fight •by Mr. Blare, a
Wider, against Mr. Watkicson, a shoemaker, for
payment of '641. 14s. Id.as the expence, of repairs
done.lo two old houses, in Green-street, Leicester-
square. The claim was resisted, on account of the
demand being deemed exorbitant ; it having been,
ascertained by,. surveyors "employed by the Defend- -
ant, that 1 181. .was an ample compensation.
Various Journeymen carpenters and builders.
were examined, as to. the time occupied, and the
work actually done ; and. the nature of their evi-
dence went to prove that 64i days had been occu-
pied, and sometimes one,
,two, or three workmen
employed. It_appeared, however, that the mode of
estimating the expence was, vague and indefinite ;
and. much more of the' old materials had been used
than what appeared to have been deducted in the
computation.
The Jury found a verdi& for the Defendant, • li-
miting the amount to the sum already• paid into
Court.
