The prosecutrix was recalled and cross-examined by Mr.
Corrncitau—She would not swear that Jane Rowley
did not, on the Wednesday, ask her why she did not at
first 'say it was James Gleaves that bad done it, but she
(proieentrix) would swear that she did not say " Woman,
I da it with my scissors, but my mother told me to say
it was James Gleaves did it, for now he would never
inert:), me."

11-eXarnined—l don't believe I ever saw Jane Rowley
alone in my room that week.
The prisoner, on being called on for his defence, pro-
tftted his innocence, and said the gown produced was not
the one worn by the prosecutrix that day. He added that
When he told the prosecutrix that he was going to America,
°he cried very much, said it was cruel-hearted of him, and
that he had better kill her at once than to desert her. It
wax not probable, if he had used the prosecutrix in the
wthseYr littted, that be would have seen her home to her fa-
house that night, or that he would have returned
fret! Liverpool (whither he went on his way to America)
° when he heard of this charge against him.
~,the. following witnesses were called for the defence :
1 slanalt White—l have been subpcenaed to come here.

this transaction; I asked her how it happened, and she-
Ltd as that on Sunday she gathered her clothes about
r, and was sitting down to change her stockings, and
sat taixitt her scissors. Her mother chewed me Ow
aeisears, and said to me " Hannah White, I often warned
the trench about wearing these scissors."
Jane Rowley—l saw the prosecutrix on the Wednesday
after the transaction occurred. I asked her why she did
Lot say at first that it was James Gleaves did it, and she
laid she did it with her seisms ; but that her mother de-
sired her to say it was James Gleaves, for he never would
marry her now.
Cross-examined—l told Betty Broadbent that night
What the prosecutrix told me. I never told it to any
body 'else. but Betty Glover, and she, I believe, told
Cleaves' relations of it, and they marched me off here. I
did not want to have any thing to do with the business,
as I was never before in a Court, and I was afraid.
Martha Holt.--1 saw the prosesutrix the day after this
transaction occurred, and she told me that, whilst she was
sitting on the stairs putting on her stockings, her scissors

shed and

David Shepley—I accompanied the prisoner to the house
Ica prosecutrix on Sunday, the 6th of September last. I
nest the prisoner was going to Liverpool next day, but
I did not hear hint tell the prosecutrix that. I did not
take Much notice of what they said.
Several witnesses gave the prisoner a character for hu-
manity and kind disposition.
Mr• justice JERVIS summed up with great minuteness, and
Jtity inamedii& ly found the prisoner Guilty upon the
last—count; RIO LIS Lordship, after telling the prisoner
that.mercy could not be extended to him, pronounced
judgment of Death.
This trial, which exc;ted a strong sensation in the
County, occupied the Court upwards of five hours ; and
was nut congludeul until half-past seven o'clock.
