Mr. Thomas Bennett 'Humphreys, surgeon, of Trinity-
square, deposed that he was sent for to go to the police
station in Seething-lane about half-past 6 o'clock on Sunda,y
evening, where he saw the prosecutrix, Hannah Hart. He
was told the charge against the prisoner, and he was re-
quested to examine her. She told him what had happened
in pretty much the same terms as she had stated in evi-
dence. All medical evidence on such matters could only
go to probabilities. From what he saw he inferred a pro-
bability of a recent connection, but it might not have been
violent. He was not justified in saying anything beyond
probability. He found no marks of bruises. As to the
marks on the girl's neck a starched collar, or anything of
that kind, might have produced the discolouration there.
lodine would produce a dark mark, but not insensibility.
Police-constable llng,gett said on the prisoner being
charged with rape by the prosecutrix he made no reply,
except to ask if ho could be bailed by a friend. Witness
found two £5 Bank of England notes upon him, 123 postage
stamps, a half sovereign, and some coppers, and a packet
of letters. He gave the name of Sprague.
The prisoner, in reply to the Court, said his name was
Charles Gordon Sprague.
The letters found on the prisoner, on being produced,
showed that lie was the same person who was tried at
Exeter a fortnight ago for the attempt to poison his wife's
mother, Mrs. Chalker, at Ashburton.
The Lord Mayor eventually remanded the prisoner until
Tuesday next, and declined to entertain his application to
bo admitted to bail.

Death by Drowning of an Under-Graduate

at Cambridge.

Yesterday an inquest wa holed t the Unicorn, in the
parish of Trumpington before Mr. Francis Barlow, coroner
for the division, on the body of Mr.:George Galliers, aged
23 years, late a sizer of Corpus Christi College, and whose
death resulted under the melancholy circumstances below
detailed.

The Rev. T. T. Perowno, fellow and assistant tutor of
Corpus, attended on behalf of the college authorities. •
Mr. Frederic Le Mothe, undergraduate of Corpus Christi
College, who entered (as did deceased) last October, and
who while giving his evidence was evidently suffering much
emotion, said that on Saturday last the deceased called
upon him, and proposed that they should go in the after-
noon and bathe in a part of the river in the parish of
Trumpington, a part of which he (deceased) had on two or
three previous occasions spoken to witness. [The spot in
question is just next what is known as " Byron's Pool,"
having been a favourite haunt of the illustrious poet.]
They started at two o'clock, and walked to the place.
Witness could swim but the deceased could not. Deceased
took witness a little higher up the river, and pointing to a.
place said, " there is a deep hole theie," and that " that
was where his brother " (Mr. Thomas Galliers, under-
graduate of Caius College) " had got in some days before."
Witness said then, "Do you go down to the shallow
part, and go in there, and I will go in here, and swim
down to you." Deceased went and stripped, and got into
the water at the more shallow part. Witness was stand-
ing on the bank with all his clothes on, but unbut-
toned and ready to take off. In about a minute after-
wards witness stripped, plunged into the river, and swam
down to the deceased. When within about a yard of the
deceased witness tried to and did sound the bottom, and
found that it just came up to his chin. Walked along the
bottom of the river to where deceased was standing, nearly
up to his chest in the water. Went up to deceased and
told him that the way witness was taught to swim when
ho was a boy was by another person holding his head.
Deceased said, "The great difficulty he had was with his
legs. He thought he could manage with his hands, but not
with his legs." Witness took deceased's head in his hands,
and told him to kick with Isis feet. Deceased did so, and in
doing so ho pushed the witness forwards out into the
stream, and both were over their depth in an instant. Wit-
ness was thrown, as it were, on his back, and deceased
came forward on to him, and then both got into the centre
of the river. Deceased seized witness by the neck, and
they both went under. Each clung to the other very
tightly, and witness felt sure that both would be drowned.
After they had been under some time they cleared from one
another almost without a struggle, and witness then
struggled for the top of the water. The water seemed to
be of a great depth, and witness almost feared he should
never get to the top. Did reach the top, however, scrambled
out, and then ran directly for a gate, of which deceased
had on a previous occasion spoken to him, and had, on
Saturday actually shown him. Witness threw the gate into
the river with the hope that deceased would bo able to seize
it, but he was then under the water, and witness could not
see him. Witness then jumped into the water again. There
were two men fishing, about 150 or 200 yards off. Witness
shouted, and saw the men come running up the bank.
They ran by the railway bridge to get on the other side
of the river, as there were a great many weeds on the side
they were. They ran round to the same side as witness.
They brought a long pole, and threw it into the river to
witness. Witness probed the bottom of the river with it to
try if he could feel the body. One of the men then said,
" Why don't you dive ?" Witness then swam under water
and looked at the bottom, but could see nothing whatever.
Witness then came out, and he and the men searched from
the bank, but could see nothing. Witness found himself
very weak and cold, and his hands all cramped. Witness
then put on his things, and another young man came up,
stripped, and dived several times and in different directions,
but could find no trace of the deceased. Some men then
came up with a grapnel and threw it across the stream, but
could not discover deceased. A boat was sent for and rowed
about, and at last one of the occupants said, "Here is the
body. It is in a crouched position." Witness did not want
to see the body drawn, and went away and stood by a tree.
The spot where the body was found was about a yard from
where he first sank, and on the same side of the river.
Should say it was about three-quarters of an hour to an
hour before the body was got out. Believed deceased was
about 24 years of age.
Samuel Lloyd, labourer on the Cambridge and Bedford
Railway, in the vicinity, deposed to the finding of the body,
with the grapnel, in 10 feet of water, and that the deceased
was quite dead when his remains were recovered.

The Rev. Mr. Perowne identified the body, and the jury
returned a verdict of Accidentally Drowned.

The sad occurrence has spread a glooom not only over the
college of which deceased was a member, but tho university
at large. The deceased was a young man of much intollec-
tual promise ; entering last October, he came out in the first
class at the late college examination. Mr. Garners was
native of Herefordshire, but has loft no parents to mount
his loss.

EXTRAORDINARY CAPTURE OF WHALES IN THE
CROMARTY FIRTH.—On Wednesday morning an ex..
traordinau capture of whales took place in the Cromarty
Firth, close by the town of Dingwall. On the previous
afternoon a largo shoal of these gigantic creatures, after-
wards ascertained to bo of the bottle-nose species, had
been- observed sporting themselves in the water about
half a mile distant from Invergordon harbour, and were
immediately pursued by boats full of eager crews from
Invergordon, Saltburn, Balms{ d, and the coast, the

deep, for the space of four or five hours ; and several
shots were fired at them from the boats without any
visible effect. Ultimately, about 6 o'clock in the evening,
they took a start up the Firth, whither they were closely
followed by the boats, and a hot chase ensued. The tide
was at this time on the ebb, and there was every chance of
the fish being driven into shallow water. The scene was
animating in the extreme. The pursuers arrived at Never
Bay about 8 o'clock, having succeeded in keeping the fish
ahead of them all the time, although the frightened crea-
tures took many turns and windings as if in the endeavour
to escape down the Firth, or keep in the greatest possible
depth of water. The water, however, at this point is ox.
tremely shallow in some places, and as a stray fish got
separated from its companions it inevitably went aground,
and was immediately surrounded by some of the boats, the
crews of which, armed with all sorts of weapons, from a
shovel to a crowbar, made short work of the victim. In this
way a good many were captured from between the shore of
Fowlis and the opposite coast all the way down to Ding..
wall. Night did not stop the operations of those who had
engaged in the pursuit. Love of sport, and the chance of
gain combined, acted as a strong incentive to the pursuer,
and those who were not fortunate enough to strand their
whale previously, pushed on to the head of the Firth,
gathering strength on the way, until a perfect little flotilla
of fishing cobles, rowing and sailing boats, and pleasure
yachts had arrived within view of Dingwall. The night was
clear and favourable. Shortly after 12 o'clock,
and early
in the morning, those of the shoal which had managed
to get this length grounded among the mudand and
opposite the burgh, facing to the north-east. It was
of sand
opposite snow
that the work began in right earnest. A lt
numberthe
townspeople were prepared for what was likely happen,
and hastened to the scene. A general massacre ensued,
and was continued until a late hour in the morning, when,

from 15ft. to 18ft. The total number captured, including
those on the other parts of the Firth and on the coast, is
estimated at between 50 and 60, and it is confidently as_
she erted that few, if any, of the shoal succeeded in making
t escape.—/nverriess Advertiser.
LADVERTISEMENT.I—HoIIoway's Ointment and
Effectual Aid.—In the sad time of sickness it is cheering
to know that a remedy does exist, and that it can be pro-
cured at a little cost. Holloway's ointment and pills are
always useful in relieving pain, in reducing inflammations,
and regulating disordered actions. They never can be
misapplied, nor can they under any circumstances cause
mischief. They are a blessing to the rich when tormented
by indigestion, gout, skin diseases, &c., and a precious boost
to the poor when struck down by sickness. Holloway's me-
dicines should be in the possession of all soldiers, sailors,
and emigrants, who will then be in a position to ease pair%
and cure disease when medical assistance cannot be ob.
tabled.
