POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-April 23.

GUILDHALL.—EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF
RAPE.—Jeremiah Whaley, a tailor, aged 23, was'
charged before Alderman Gabriel with feloniously
assaulting the prosecutrix, with intent.
Ann Elizabeth Richardson, a very interesting
and pretty young girl, who gave her evidence most
ingeniously, said—l am eighteen years of age, and
live now with my mother. I was brought up by
my grandmother in the country. I have no father.
The prisoner we.P formerly a lodger of my mother's,
and he has lately been ill the habit of coming to the
house to see us. I have oniy known him about
six weeks. On the night before last I went
to bed about half-past eight o'clock, but my mother
was not at home. My room door was not
locked, because my mother had to come in
after I had gone to bed, as she slept with me. I
had been asleep some time when I was awoke by
the prisoner, whom I found undressed and in bed
with me. I had not been disturbed by his com-
ing into the room. I screamed, and resisted him
as much as I could, but he completed his object,
and immediately afterwards got out of bed, put on
his, trousers, and carried the rest of his clothes out
with him. I called to a young married woman who
lives in the next room, and she came to my assist-
ance, and the prisoner swore at her and said he
would serve her the same. She heard me scream
from first to last, but she was afraid to come to my
assistance at first. After the prisoner went away
I went with Mrs. Wail into the next room, and
afterwards we called out of the window to the night
policeman. 1 did not go to bed again until my
mother came home at seven o'clock in the morning.
Mary Wall said—My husband is a fireman. I
occupy the front room on the second floor, adjoin-
ing the room in which the last witness slept. I
came home about 11 o'clock, and the prisoner
opened the door for me and then went down stairs.
A few minutes after I got into my room I heard
some one come up stairs very quietly, and I im-
mediately locked my door. I thought I heard the
handle of Mrs. Richardson's room door turned, but
did not take much notice, as Mrs. Richardson often
comes up after I have gone to bed. About 20 minutes
afterwards I was disturbed by hearing an exclama-
tion from the next room, followed by screaming and
a kind of groaning noise. I then heard the last
witness call out my name, as though she was
alarmed. I got up and struck a light but did not go
until I heard the prisoner come out of her room and
go out of the street door. Before leaving ho called
out to me that if I interfered he would come into
me. He said that because I was making a noise to
alarm the people on the first floor. When I went
into the room prosecutrix was standing on the bed,
and she told me the prisoner had seduced her. I
then opened the window, and told the policeman
what had occurred.

Samuel Owen, a professor of music, said—l
occupy two rooms on the first floor in the house in
question. On Monday night I heard a knocking at
the street door which lasted about half an honr.
That was about 11 o'clock, and when I opened the
door a man came in, but I did not see who it was.
I am satisfied that it was the prisoner, for 1 heard
the last witness afterwards speaking to him. I
ultimately heard screaming, and a voice say, " You
have no right here. Yon are not my mother's hus-
band. I had late that evening seen the prisoner in
conversation with Mrs. Richardson, whom, I believe
he was desirous of marrying.
Keziah Richardson said—l live at No. 12, Shaftes-
bury-glace, Aldersgate-street. lam a widow. I
have two younger children, both of whom slept in
the same room with me and my daughter Ann.
The children slept in one bed and we in the other.
The prisoner lodged with me about eight months
when I lived at No. 24 in the same place, and he
occasionally calls to see me. On Monday night I
saw him about seven o'clock at my house, and we
left to spend the evening together with a friend in
Fell-street, Cripplegate. About half-past ten
o'clock he left, and I asked him to call, and tell my
daughter not to sit up for me, as I was act coming
home, my friend having asked me to stay the night
with her. I returned home about seven o'clock,
when I found my daughter in Mrs. Wall's room,
and was informed of what had taken place.
Cross-examined—My daughter has never been
absent from home at night.
Prosecutrix re-called—The children were in bed
asleep, and that was why I called out, and they
woke up.
Cross-examined—l slept at home on Sunday week
fortnight. I have slept from home since I came
from the country. I was away at Christmas, but
not since lam certain. I was then with my aunt
at the West-end. I did not leave home a fortnight
ago, stop out all night, and return the next even-
ing.
Re-examined—l came from Bridlington, in York-
, shire on the 29th of last October.
Mrs. Richardson recalled—lt is about twelve
months since the prisoner ceased to be a lodger of
I mine.

Dr. Childs said—The girl was brought to me last
night by the police, and I examined her, and found
unmistakable evidences of recent violation.

Cortnell, 109 C, said—l took the prisoner into
custody on this charge yesterday afternoon in Soho.
On hearing the charge the prisoner said he knew
nothing about it; it was only a drunken "spree."
At the station he said he and the mother of the pro-
secutrix had been drinking together, and that she
asked him to tell her daughter that she was not
coming home. That he did call and got into bed,
thinking it was the mother, and not the daughter
that was in bed.
Alderman Gabriel then cautioned the prisoner in
the usual form, and upon his reserving his defence,
committed him to Newgate for trial.

MARYLEBONE.--Constan ce Wilson was placed
at the bar for final examination on the charge of
administering oil of vitrol to Sarah Cornell, with
intent to murder.

The former evidence in this case has already been
given, from which, it may be recollected, the pri-
soner was charged with giving to the complainant
oil of vitrol in a black draught.
Mrs. Cornell was recalled, and said that when the
prisoner called upon her on the 13th February she
(witness) was in possession of £lO, and the prisoner
was aware of it, as she had it ready for her rent.
She was not, aware that the prisoner was keeping
company with her husband.
In reply to the magistrate, she said that when-
ever the prisoner visited her she was always taken
ill after partaking of what the prisoner produced.
Mr. Yardley committed her for trial.

WORSHIP-STREET.---Yesterday Mr. Natha-
niel Chantrey was charged with shooting at his
wife with intent to murder her.

Mrs. Maria Chantrey said—l am the wife of the
prisoner, who is a gentleman, and we reside on
Tyssen-terrace, Ralston-lane, Hackney. Last night
at a little before 10 o'clock be returned home very
tipsy, and I reproached him for staying out, saying
"It is very strange where you go to." He struck
me upon the elbow, and exclaimed "I will shoot
Sou ; I'll see you dead before morning." I left the
room and went up to bed, and was standing for a
short time at the side of the bed, when I was startled
by the discharge of a gun, and some shots came
through the window, breaking six panes of glass.
They fell in the room. I opened the window and
called loudly for the police, and while so doing I
saw my husband in the garden with a gun in his
hand. From the outside of the house a person could
see me standing at the side of my bed, and the shot
fell only about three yards from me. It is a small
room, and at the time the gun was discharged I was
standing certainly more than one yard from the
window. My husband is in the habit of using
dreadful language to me, and behaves so badly that
I am weary of my life.
Cross. examined—l am not in the habit of inces-
santly abusing him, nor did I taunt him by saying
that he had some one else to go to. He is not accus-
tomed to fire in the garden to alarm thieves or de-
stroy cats. He is so illiberal that he has only allowed
me 10s. a week since the 13th of March,
Eliza Utting—l am 14,and reside with my parents
in Frederick-place, Upper Clapton. lam distantly
related to Mrs. Chantrey, with whom I was staying
last night when the prisoner came home. His wife
and he had some conversation together, when she
and I went upstairs. After I had got into bed, and
she was standing at the side of it, I heard the dis-
charge of a gun, and some shot came into the room
through the window panes. She was then standing,
I should think, about four yards from the window.
I had heard the prisoner say before we went up
that she should not be alive in the morning.
Foden, 177 N—About 10 last night I heard loud
screams in Dalston-lane, and, on hastening to the
prosecutrix's house, I saw her at the window. In
consequence of what she said to me I went into
the back
garden, and there I heard a voice,
with an oath, threaten to blow: my brains out. I
went to the place where the voice seemed to come
from, and there found the prisoner with the gun I',
produce in his hand. I asked him for it, but he
refused to give it up. We had a sharp struggle for
the possession of it, and on my getting hold of it he
said," I wish there was another charge in it, and
we'd see who'd have it, you or I got the gun
from him, and took him and the piece to the station.
There I told him the charge against him, and he
said that the reason he had discharged the picot)

SPORTING II'yLJLLzG•ENCE.

NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING—WEDNESDAY.
After a partial settling on Tuesday'''s racing had been
effected, the company, which showed but little diminution
from the previous day, moved towards the lleoth. There at
12 o'clock two numbers were put up for a match, which was
not run. Sunshine and rain, accompanied by gusts of wind,
came on alternately between the next six races, and con-
tinued to render people uncomfortable until past 3 o'clock.
The Derby Trial Stakes then created a vast deal of interest
on account of the high character given to Ensign, and his
trial with older horses was expected to enlighten the public
in regard to his real merit. Asteroid defeated himeasily, but
his position in the Derby betting was but little altered in
consequence of it, for he ran like a very game horse, and
showed staying qualities. The Column Stakes were won by
a horse not engaged in the Derby, and the last race of the
day was run just in time for the jockeys to escape being
drenched by a dreadful heavy shower, which drove the as-
sembled company very quickly into the town a few minutes
before 5.

the habit of discharging his fowling-piece in the
grounds, to warn thieves and frighten cats, and while
going round the garden, which was 160 ft. in length, 1
to see that all was secure, he fancied he distinctly
heard a strange noise, which induced him to go into
the house for the gun. He then discharged it, but
he did not level it at the window ; he fired it so
that the shot should go over the house top. Instead
of that, however, it seemed to have recoiled and
gone through the window, and the lady had at once
attributed to him the wholly unfounded motive of
a wish to fire at her. He trusted, under these cir-
cumstances, that if the magistrate felt the case
should go any further, he would consent to accept
bail for his client, which could be found for almost
any amount.
Mr. Leigh could not ignore the fact of the threat
the prisoner had made towards his wife, followed
by the discharge of the piece, the breaking the
panes of glass, and the entrance of the shot into
the room, and he should therefore send the prisoner
for trial at the next sessions of the Central Criminal
Court, and should decline to accept bail.

STATE OF TRADE.

LEWESTER, April 23.—There has not beon much
doing this week (chiefly on account of the Easter
holidays) in the warehouses. The demand for
most classes of hosiery goods is by no means
active; but the weather having become more season-
able, more business is expected to be dove. In the
country dis tricts there is not much change, but
more activity is anticipated. Wools are less. steady,
and are not much in request. Yarns are flrot and
dear,
