showed him the _marks of violence on her person. No-
thing actually had taken place, but an attempt had been
made. There were some bruises on her arms and back,
and one on the right leg. On the Friday he was called in
to see Mrs. Harding, Mr. Chapman threatened that if he
appeared as a witness against him he would injure his
( witness's) reputation in the neighbourhood.—ln cross-
exaOination. by Mr. Inman, the witness said that Mrs.
Hardillg made him a present of a turkey at Christmas
His photographic likeness was standing before the looking
glass in her ho use.
Inspector Horne deposed that Mr. Davies, the com-
plainant's guardian, called at the police-office on the Fri-
day evening, and after s bowing the telegram he had re-
ceived from Mrs. Hardin r, asked him to let a police-officer
go to the house. Witness I called upon Mts. Harding the
same evening, and she ma de the same statement that she
had related in court. On the following morning an appli-
cation was made for a wart ant to Mr. Raffles, who, how-
ever, suggested that the del,',..ndent should be summoned.
Mr. Inman, for the defenc.;, urged the same statements
that he had adduced in the ch'arge of assault made by Mr.
Chapman against Mrs. Harding-. He then stated that he
dined with Chapman on the day in question, and that it was
2 o'clock before the latter left his house to call upon Mrs.
Harding for the rent. The defendant, he said, was not
more than ten minutes away, an, I on his return he com-
plained of the assault that had be, in made upon him.
The magistrates suggested tb at Mr. Inman should be
sworn, but Mr. Cobb strongly obj'eeed, urging that such a
proceeding was most irregular for an attorney in a case to
be called as a witness for his dim, t. The bench, decided
upon hearing Mr. Inman upon oat' h.
Mr. Inman was accordingly ewe ,rn, and he repeated his
former statement as to the time tb., a defendant left his house,
which was not until after dinner, and they dined at two
o'clock.—ln cross-examination b 3 • Mr. Cobb, Mr. Inman
said he was no relation to the clef endant, but upon being
pressed upon this point he admitted that he was rimed
to Mr. Chapman's stepdaughter. He was no relation
in blood. He was once agu st, along with Mr. Char
man, of Mrs. Harding's. She ; Sten danced about the room,
and showed her legs, and there •was something about her
that he vrould not go into a himOtt of that sort again. Ile
had told Mr. Chapman that she v vas labouring under some
mental delusion, or was a bad drunken character. He never
said to any one that Mrs. Hardin.,.; was a bad woman And
that Mr. Chapman was equally afs bad. He had a watch on
the day in question ; it was 2 o'cl.e ck before the defendant
left the house, and he was not away more than 10 minutes.
Mr. Cobb here urged that it was the most monstrous end
irregular proceeding he ever hears to call the defendant's
attorney, who was in court all the time to prove an alibi..
Mrs. Fell, who dined with Mr. Chapman on the day 01
quea;ion, also swore it was after 2 o'clock before the defen-
dant lest the house, and he was not away more than 10
minutes.
Mr. Inman; next proposed to call Mr. Walters to speak
to Mrs. Harding's previous violent conduct, but the earl -

would not take hie evidence.
After the magistrates had consulted for a short time, Mr.
Anderton (clerk) said if they could not agree they could not
treat the case summarily, but t hey might send it for real'
Mr. Tyrer suggested that th e whole case should be dils.
Missed, remarking that the par ties might go elsewhere.
Mr. Anderton—Your dinisian will* final.
Mr. Chilton was evidently in favour of sending the ease
tefore awry, and after the bernh had again consulted, fir.
Tyrer said the defendant (Mr. Chapman) must go before a
jury of his country on the charge of attempting to coraw3
a rape.
(The defendant was accoldingly committed for trial, but
was admitted to bail on finding t wo sureties in £25 each.
The other two summonses were dismissed.

containing the report and tables of population drawn up end
presented to Parliament by the Registrar-General for 50*
land, and embodying the results of the census of ScotlaPP
taken,on the Bth April, 1861, has just been printed. 113 Er
document, which extends to 180 pages, shows that the tot:.
number of persons in Scotland on the Bth of April, 1861!
including such of the military, royal navy, and raerchanb

of 6 per cent., while during the previous ten years it ta4
increased at the rate of 10.26 per cent.
