THE LATE AFFILIATION CASE AT YORK.—We Statl4:l;
in a report we gave last week, that Miss Jones, the
daughter of a clergyman living in the Isle of Man, Aa„P;
plied to the magistrates at Stockton-on-Tees for an er,4
to maintain her illegitimate son, of which she alleg-0
that the Rev. Richard Singleton, the Roman cutholl
priest at Stockton, was the putative father. The magi'
strates then refused to grant the order, and subsequently
a warrant was issued against Miss Jones, on a comPle,l'a
being preferred against her that she had atternPeus
to extort money by charging him with an infer ¢t
t
crime—that of beastiality. This case was heard
Stockton on Wednesday last, and great interest —O.,
again manifested as to the result. The case fox the Prso
secution was founded upon a letter from Miss J,t)ni,es be
Sir. Singleton, and dated the 10th last, in 11111Cn'i,,,a11°
stated—" You have told me yourself that on have
guilty of beastiality with your dog. You on
infel2°ll
and the world shall know it. The onl means of we':
ing me is to send me 50/. within a fortnight."'y She al
alluded in the same letter to her child, and charged
Singleton with being the father of it. Mr. nee'll-aa
submitted that the accused had clearly conrinitteo 1700
offence under the. statute, and that, as the magistll:o
were sitting there ministerially and not judicially, it
to
their bounden duty, after being satisfi&d that a Prl"to
facie case had been made out—which he should prove--i 0
commit Miss Jones to Durham for trial. Th.e letter 0
question was put in, and evidence was offered. that it Wes
in the handwriting of Miss Jones. One of the' witneeech,
was Mr. Singleton, and he underwent a long and seer.,t,.
ing cross-examination by Mr. Trevor. Mr. Trevor %m at
mitted that there was no case to go to a jury, and t—s
the words in his client's letter, .4 'You have told of
yourself you have been guilty of beastiality," could I
in any manner be construed into a threat. The gonerll
tenour of her letter merely had reference to the tnejete;
nance of her child, and it had not been made out the
she had made any attempt to extort money. The c'fie
was dismissed.
