MELANCHOLY SUICIDE OP A GIRL.—On Saturday last
Margaret Elliot, a young girl about 16 years of age,
who resided with her parents, in Low Glencairn-
street, committed suicide under very mysterious cir-
cumstances. On Friday night she had been out with
other girls, in company with several young men, and the
party had separated about twelve o'clock. On Saturday
she was in her usual spirits apparently, although it was
evident her mind must in some way have been disturbed.
On that day she purchased from an apothecary a penny-
worth of vitriol, and having gone into the garden at the
back of her father's house, drank it between four and
five o'clock in the afternoon. Having been observed
lyiny in the garden, she was brought into the house in
great agony, and surgical assistance immediately pro-
cured. The fatal potion, however, defied all remedy'
and in three hours after she died. She gave no other
reason for the step which she had taken than that she
was tired of her life. The corpse was interred on Tues-
day.—Kilmarnock. Journal.

SOMNAMBULISM AT NOBTHALLERTON.—During the
night of Wednesday, the 9th inst., a young man named
Powle, a joiner and cabinet maker from Leeds, who was
sleeping at the Rose and Crown Inn, at Northallerton,
arose up in his sleep, and went out of the window of his
bed-room, which is an attic, and fell to the ground.
Though he was very much cut and injured by the fall,
there are strong hopes of his recovery.

LITER -A T

White, ILd, Black., 3 vols. By Francis and
Teresa PIA szki. Frtibner.

Under this.fanciful title is presented to the Eng,
lish public a cluster of amusing and brilliant sketches
of society in the United States—sketches, drawn
with infinite vivacity, by two of the most distin-
guished of the refugee Hungarians. Under ordi-
nary circumstances a work of this description, from
hands like those of Francis and Teresa Pulszki,
could not possibly have proved otherwise than. in the
highest degree attractive. Considering; however,
that the occasion which has elicited the present vo-
lumes is one no less memorable than the visit paid to
the American Republic by Louis Kossuth, the guest
of that Democracl, the production before us must
' necessarily be regarded by the English people as
one fraught with a very peculiar fascination.
Although so brief an interval has elapsed since the
time of the voyage here recounted, it is really
remarkable how ffectually the industry of the
companions of the Hungarian chieftain has
overcome all the difficulties of a narrative
necessarily diffuse and comprehensive. Numerous
as have been the works already written upon the
Republic of North America, we know none more
eminently calculated to present a truthful and life-
like picture of the original to the mass of the
British population. Already we have been rendered
familiar with the condition of society in the States
through the descriptions of Harriet Martineau, the
humorous pencillings of Charles Dickens, the ani-
mated rhetoric of Silk Buckingham, and the
shrewd comments of George Combe, through the
satire of Mrs. Trollope, the science of Sir Charles
Lyell, the perspicuity of Alexander Mackay, and
the ever-watchful observation of M. de Tocqueville.
Added to •these, we have now the pleasant pages
furnished to us by our travelling Hungarians. The
merit of these passages can only be the more ap-
preciable on comparison with those of their prede-
cessors. Neither Francis nor Teresa Pulszki appear
to have crossed the Atlantic accompanied by preju-
dices any more than by predilections. Their good
opinion must necessarily, to a considerable extent,
have been propitiated by the fact of their illustrious
compatriot having received the magnificent tribute
of an invitation from Congress—a grand and na-
tional invitation to visit, as the guest of that people,
the inhabitants of the North American Republic.
Otherwise, our authors evidently set forth on
their journey with their minds altogether un-
warped, and ready to accord to the novel
and interesting scenes presented to them the
benefit of a calm and altogether dispassionate
judgment. Setting aside entirely any reluctance
that might be excited by the apparent incongruity
of a work of this particular character coming to us
from the hands of a foreigner, Francis Pulszki
observes, at the very outset of his preface, in a
phrase quaintly but ingeniously apologetic, that
various reasons therein specified have induced him,
by publishing these volumes, " to carry an owl to
Athens." The task of compiling the work from
the loose papers brought back with them by our
Magyar, travellers on their return to England,
seems to have been singularly facilitated by the
circumstance of a regular diary having been kept
by Teresa Pulszki throughout the whole of her
transatlantic movements. What tends Particu-
larly to enhance the value of the present narrative
is the fact, that its materials are not, as is usual with
the majority of such productions, composed for the
most part of allusions to the domestic manners and
personal peculiarities of the American population.
As our authors themselves remind us, they- were
not shocked by such little incidents as the Ameri-
cans pouring the contents of their egg shells into
glasses at breakfast ! Neither did they care much
seemingly about the orthodoxy of eating lanib with
mint sauce, rhubarb pie with Devonshire
cream, and roast beef with Yorkshire pud-
ding ! ' Their indifference in these particulars
recalls to our recollection the introductory
remark of Mr. Samuel Weller when " Boots" at the
White Hart in the borough—" We shan't be bank- •
rupts and we shan't make our fortunes ; we eats
our biled mutton without capers, and don't care
for horse-radish ven ve can get beef." Similar is
the disregard evinced in reference tb these minutiae
in the sublime art of cookery by our light-hearted
Hungarians. As to another peculiarity already
frequently commented upon by previous travellers
in the 'United States, Francis Pulszki candidly ac-
knowledges that "belonging to an eminently
smoking people, the extensive use of the cigar did
not hurt my feelings, though I thought that chew-
ing and its consequences were no improvements on
the use of the fragrant leaf !" Everything consi-
dered, Brother Jonathan could. scarcely have been
subjected to a more generous examination than that
of our authors (as we may now regard them),
the Anglicised Hungarians. The charming
sketches before us open with a descrip-
tion of the passage to America across the
Atlantic. Prior to this description, however,
we have an account of the departure from England
of Kossuth and his companions. This account is
immediately followed by some intelligent remarks
upon the discovery of the New World before the
age of Columbus—a discovery made, of course, as is
now pretty generally known, by certain Norwegian
adventurers. It may be observed, moreover, that
the tedium of the voyage is lightened very agree-
ably by a narrative of the escape of Madam
Kossuth, as told by herself, in the course of
one or two familiar conversations. Incidentally,
also, a deserved tribute of gratitude is paid by our
writers to the Turkish hospitality displayed at the
close of the Hungarian war of independence,
towards their fugitive fellow-countrymen. Arrived
at Staten Island, we have a brilliant description of
the noble city of New York, of its motly society,
of its enormous meetings, and of its composite
architecture. Opinions are then expressed as to the
position assumed in the United States by the chiefs
of periodical literature. A chapter upon colonisa-
tion conveys to the mind of the reader, in regard
to the North American Continent, a tolerably clear
idea both of its physical and political configuration.
Especial reference is, of course, made at a fitting
opportunity to the tate of parties in America, and
to the nature of their respective principles. From
New York we advance to Philadelphia, thence to
Baltimore—on to Washington, to Annapolis, to
Harrisburgh, across the Alleghanies to the iron
city of Pitsburgh on again by Maryland and
Pennsylvania to Ohio, where we are introduced to
Cleveland, to Columbus, and to Cincinnati. Tra-
versing Indiana, Kentucky, and Missouri, we find
ourselves conveyed at last to the lower Mis-
sissippi. Returning northwards by Mobile, the
Alabama River, and Montgomery, we pass Georgia
and the Carolinas, and so come at length to New
Jersey, Connecticut, and Massachussets. ' Here,
however, the journey by no means terminates—for,
advancing to the city of Boston, we are carried
forward to the wonderful Falls of Niacrara' and
leaving these we are carried back to New York,
through Buffalo, Troy, and Albany. Having
thus completed the tour of the 'United
States, we are invited to the consideration
of an ingenious parallel of the American and
English character. Several appendices to the
three volumes comprise a variety of interesting
documents. Among these, it must be especially
remarked, will be found some valuable statistical
papers on the local railways and telegraphs.
Besides three remarkable letters from the
MSS. of a New England Lady, a detailed
account of the Northmen in North America,
and Chancellor Harper's vindication of slavery.
It must be borne in remembrance that the title of
the work here under review is not simply eccentric,
but in an eminent degree significant and sugges-
tive. It implies that the races herein described are
not simply those of the domineering white men,
but those also of the Red Indian and African
populations. White, and red, and black are,
in fact, the motley colours observable amongst
the inhabitants of the Great North American
Continent. Apart from every other considera-
tion, these sketches of society in the United States
must be regarded as of singular importance, seeing
that they demonstrate, beyond the possibility of
contradiction, that Louis Kossuth, the glorious
guest of the American democracy, was re-
ceived by the vast mass of its citizens
not with coolness, but with universal accla-
mations. Consequently, the Times and the
Daily News were in every respect mistaken, in re-
presenting Kossuth's visit to the United States as
a " failure,"—doing so through the medium of
anonymous correspondents. True, undoubteAly,that
as the public is here reminded by thePulszicis, Kos_
suth would not avail himself of his popularity to oh-
tain a grant of land on the opposite shores
Atlantic for himself and his count of the

Kossuth to the attention of Congress—observing

that it was impossible for the people of America to

triumphal honours—a wonderful failure his being
greeted by Congress at Washington, in a manner
like that displayed towards Lafayette—a wonderful
failure his official introduction to the Senate and
House of Representatives—his reception by the
most eminent American Statesmen now living—his
respectful treatment by the • two great men since
departed, Henry Clay, " the mill-boy of the
slashes," and Daniel Webster, " the great ex-
pounder " As further illustrations of this same
-wonderful failure, take the resolutions inviting
Kossuth to the capital of those States, passed by the
Legislatures and Governors of Indiana, Maryland,
Maine, New York, lowa, Rhode Island, Ohio,
Vermont, Michigan, Wisconsin Tennessee, Penn-
sylvania, and Massachusets—all of which, with
the exception of Maryland and Tennessee,
commended in the warmest terms the foreign
policy suggested to the Union by its illustrious
visitor. It would be difficult to enumerate the ad-
dresses presented to that great man during his stay
in America by a series of important deputations.
Everything throughout his progress indicated a
triumph rather than a failure. Undoubtedly the
old hunkers and the silvery greys were sufficiently
frightened, but their alarm in no way tended to
diminish the general enthusiasm. Such is the
character of the extraordinary events here re-
counted by Francis and Teresa Pulszki, and of
which these present delightful volumes form a noble
and brilliant celebration.

British Medical Directory for 1853. Published at

the Lancet Office.

This annual has been prepared with great care
and elaboration, and contains a great deal of infor-
mation of the most useful description. It is impos-
sible to over-estimite the value of such a work,
whether as regards the medical profession or the
public. By a reference to its pages can be found
the name of every practising medical man in every
city, town, or village in England, Scotland, or
Wales, with the date of his diploma, the offices he
holds, and other particulars of an interesting char-
acter. The information respecting, the courses of
study and the examinations and honours at the
different colleges, universities, and "hospitals is am-
ple, and, as fax as we are able to judge, extremely
correct. Among the other contents of the direc-
tory are lists of all the hospitals, dispensaries,
lunatic asylums, and medical institutions, from
John o'Groat's to Land's End.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SPORTING NOTES.—No. CCCXCIII.

By permission of the weather the Lincoln Spring
Meeting will come off to-day and to-morrow ' • the New-
castle Spring Meeting on Wednesday and Thursday ;
Chipping Norton Steeplechases to-morrow ; and Derby
and Tadcaster Steeplechases on Wednesday. Such is the
present outline of sport for the week. The freezing state
of the atmosphere, however, bids fair to curtail it of its
fair proportions.
LINCOLN SPRING MEETING.—On Saturday, in the
city, they backed Snowdon Dunhill for the Trial Stakes,
as if the race was a forgone conclusion. Chilton is the
only animal in the entry that could beat him, but, I pre-
sume, he will be reserved for the Handicap to-morrow.
Billy Richardson will be the second horse for the Trial
Stakes. There is nothing that has any chance of suc-
cessfully contesting the Two-year-old Stakes with Pope
Joan and the Jewess but Monitress, whose starting is
dubious ; the other two I have but little doubt will oc-
cupy the first and second places.
The Steeplechase ought to be won by Bourton.
Maria Day and Maurice Daley are not " in" badly at
9st 10lb and 9st 91b.

The Spring Handicap will be contested, I suppose, by
about half the acceptances ; and if HARP is not able to
accomplish the feat of winning with only 6st 71b up, I
must turn to CHILTON to pull me through. Odiham is
not overdosed with weight at 6st 131 b, nor is that re-
markably slow coach Abdallah, who, though a six years
old, has been favoured with the light weight of Est 71b.
Game Tommy at sst 121 b, is the only other animal that
may find his way to the front ; but I cannot fancy with
the small difference of 4lbs that he can beat Chilton.

The Hurdle race I do not profess to advise upon, but
I cannot help remarking that Sir Robert at lOst 81b,
Caurire at lOst 41b, and Theodine at Bst 21b, seems to
me to be better "in" than the remaining twenty-one.

ANALYSIS OF THE GREAT NORTHAMPTON-

SHIRE HANDICAP.

Being within a fortnight of Northampton races, I will
at once proceed to analyse the principal stake of the
meeting, more especially as it will be the centre of
attraction to the betting world until its decision.
The Great Northamptonshire Stakes was established in
_ . _ _

1844, when Vitellius, then 4 yrs old, with 7st up, was
the winner. It is a curious fact that, with one excep-
tion (Poodle last year), a three years old has not been
able to win over this course, which has so trying a finish
as generally to stop the youngsters. It has been won
on four occasions out of the nine by light-weighted 4 yrs
old, and in four instances by 5 yrs old and upwards,
who have carried 7st 91b and above. By this it will be
seen the chances are great against a 3 yrs old winning ;
and it must be remembered that in the only victory of
that class the winner, Poodle, had only the feather of
4st 51b to carry.

The Stakes of 100 sous. are the gift of the Northamp-
ton Grand Stand proprietors, added to a Handicap
Sweepstake of 25 Boys. each, 15 ft, &c., with penalties
for winning certain stakes, which only affects one horse
in the entry, Llanforda, who will have to carry 5 lbs
extra for winning the Liverpool Spring Cup. The dis-
tance is exactly two miles.
The large entry of 117 has been obtained to this stake ;
seventy-three of whom declared forfeit, leaving forty-
four animals to contest the palm of superiority.
Stebbing's lot consists of Kingston, at the top weight
of Bst 131 b ; the Bishop, at 6st 111 b ; and Charity, at
sst 31b. I should hardly imagine they will pull out
Kingston, but if they do, with Nat or Butler up and the
horse in good condition, his chance is anything but for-
lorn ; quite as good, in my estimation, as Wolfdog's,
when he won carrying pretty nearly the same weight, in
1847. The Bishop's running at Nottingham was too
mediocre to give him a chance here. Charity would
seem to be their horse for this race ; her pretensions,
however, are but indifferent.

Scott has a couple— Newminster and Hobby Horse ;
the former stops at home, and the latter will not only
represent its stable, but carry a considerable amount of
aristocratic cash. is running last year was execrable ;
he has improved considerably during the winter, and has
done good work during the last week or two : at 4st. 1 31b.
he will, not improbably, repeat Poodle's performance.
W. Day's horse, I believe, will be Postulant, who, at
the same weight as Hobby Horse, must, I fancy, give
way to him. Joe Miller, I understand, does not run ;
and Lady Harriet is very doubtful.
Alec. Taylor has the Confessor and the Dandy ; the
former at 7st. 121 b., and the other at sst. 311$. I think
some mischief is meant from this stable, to be brought
about very shortly ; whether we are to have it with
these horses, at the present moment I am unable to
say. Everybody knows what the Confessor can do, and
the Dandy has much improved on kis last year's form.
Tom Dawson's lot is comprised in a couple—King of
Trumps and Lindrick—the former, I believe, being the
representative. I have but a very so-so opinion of
either.

Lord Eglinton's Lucio will not do this time.
Dockeray's Muscovite and Cotton Lady I think very
little of for this race, albeit the latter is treated very
favourably in the disposition of weights and measures.
C. Fisher can have no chance of producing the winner
in Attack ; though if Nerva starts he decidedly has.
Mr. T. Parr's stable will, of course, not trifle with
their Chester Cup horse for this stake, but do what they
can with Defiance, whose chance, notwithstanding the
gameness of the horse at sst 131 b, cannot be the very
beet.
I shall conclude this analysis to-morrow, and at the
same time attempt to indicate the winners of Monday's
races at Lincoln.

Bdore the names of the jury had been called over,—
The Lord Chief Justice, having looked over the re-
cord and the abstract of it, said—l have handed up to me
to enable me to discharge the duty of trying this record
an abstract, consisting of 558 pages. I should very
much disregard my duty and very imperfectly attempt
to discharge it, if I were to set out upon the trial of
his record with such an abstract. For me now to set
about collecting from this document--to do that which
is the rules of the attorney for the plaintiff to do—would
be impossible, and equally improper. It would be vio-
lating the settled rules of the law,lt would be degrading
the office I hold, and it would be encouraging the gross
neglect of those who are concerned for the plaintiff. I
therefore order this record to be struck out.
Dr. Hayes, Q.C.—I trust that where the parties have
gone to a great expense on both sides—where gentlemen
have been summoned here as special jurors and as wit-
nesses, and great expense has been incurred, your lord-
ship will, at all events, give us an opportunity of reme-
dying the defect as far as possible.
Mr. Birch—l think it is very hard that I should be
sacrificed for the fault Of my attorney ; I employed
counsel ; I have been imprisoned ; I have been slandered.
I thought I had employed the best counsel and attorney.
The expenses of the law in this country are so great, so
enormous, that it has cost me more than 1001. already
to bring this case to trial. I have done so to vindicate
my character against ruffians who beset me in every
way.

The plaintiff was here checked by his counsel.
Mr. Maunsell—My lord, I object to Mr. Birch making
a statement of this kind.

Chief Justice—l must object to this on the part of the
court. I have made my order.

Mr. Kinder—My lord, I am the plaintiff's attorney.
I consulted counsel on the subject, and it was he who
drew up the abstract. I looked into the general rule,
and I found that it only applied to cases tried in Dublin,
and therefore I did not think it necessary to go into any
length of abstract.
Lord Chief Justice—Every reason that makes the rule
applicable to cases tried in town makes it equally appli-
cable to those for trial in the country.
Mr. M‘Donough said that the rule was perfectly
settled.

The court adjourned at ten o'clock, there being many
witnesses for the prosecution. The jury were kept
together, under the care of the under-sheriff.

MARCH 19.

Dr. Hayes—Probably your lordship would kindly
consent to adjourn the matter for half an hour.
Lord Chief Justice—l cannot alter my decision.
Dr. Hayes-Really, my lord, it is a very grievous
order in its effect on my client. Probablyyour lordship
would consent to the case standing over, on the under-
standing that the costs of the day should be paid.
Lord Chief Justice—l cannot do so—it is not a ques-
tion of costs.

therefore, that I feel doubly bound to be put in full pos-

bled to make up my mind whether I could not deal with
a case of that sort in a way that would prevent that per-
version of the law which would enable a man to defame
another, and to aggravate the case by any number of
additional libels without being responsible for those addi-
tional libels. ,
Mr. Birch—l thank your lordship.
The Lord Chief Justice—l don't say that that is the

say so ; but if this be that sort of case, I should feel it

This case was resumed this morning at half-past eight
o'clock.

The ease for the prosecution having finished,
M. King then addressed the jury for Hitchcock, ask-
ihg for a general acquittal.
Mr. Coleridge addressed the jury for Sparkes, in a
speech of great power, not asking for an acquittal, but
urging that the blow had been struck in a quarrel between
Blaekmore and Sparkes, both excited by drink, and that
the offence, therefore, only amounted to manslaughter.
Mr. Justice Crompton summed up with great care
and firmness.

The jury having retired for some time, found Sparkes
guilty and acquitted Hitchcock.
The learned Judge passed sentence of death upon
Sparkes. His lordship was dreadfully overcome, and
sobbed audibly.

The learned Judge, in passing sentence upon the pri-
soner, said that the jury had taken a most merciful view
of her case. The crime of infantcide appeared to be
greatly on the increase, and the judges.in the course of
their duties could noenow go into any county in Eng-
land without finding one or two, and frequenting more,
of such cases in the calendar. There were some very
dreadful circumstances in her case. The infant in ques-
tion was not her first child, and she must have been per-
fectly well aware of her condition, and yet she had pro-
vided no clothes or other necessaries for the infant ;- and
it was difficult to account for her taking the child and
concealing it in this unoccupied cottage in any other way
than by supposing it was her intention that its should be
sacrificed. The jury had, however, very mercifully ac-
quitted her of the crime of wilful murder, and had only
found her guilty of manslaughter, but upon that verdict
he felt that he should be neglecting his duty if he did not
pass upon her a severe sentence. He then ordered the
prisoner to be transported for 15 years.
Just before the grand jury were discharged, they re-
turned a true bill against Edmond Allain, Etienne Bar-
ronnet, Emanuel Barthelemy, and Phillippe Eugene
Mornet, for murder.

It will be remembered that the prisoners, who are
Frenchmen, are charged with killing one of their coun-
trymen in a duel at Egham, in the autumn of last year.
Upon the application of Mr. Parry, who appears for
one of the defendants, the trial was fixed to take place
on Monday (to-day).
Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Ballantine are also
retained for the defence.

NORFOLK ClRCUlT—Nonwica, MARCH 18.
CROWN COURT.

Mr, Norton—Were they also delivered of still-born
children !—Female—Yes, sir.
Mr. Norton—Did it not strike you as exceedingly ex-
traordinary, if not very suspicious, that these females, all
from the country, should have been delivered of still-
born infants !—Female—lt certainly did, your wor-
ship, and I candidly acknowledge that I should not like
to attend any other lady there.
Hayes—l understand, your worship, that the same
room is now engaged for another lady, who is coming
from the country to be confined there.

Samuel Ilorth, aged 38, was indicted for assaulting
Ann Proudfoot, at Yarmouth, on the 14th of October,
and attempting to murder her by placing a pitch-plaster
over her mouth and nose.

Mr. Palmer and Mr. Bulwer were counsel for the
prosecution ; and Mr. Prendergast, Q.C., defended the
prisoner.

Mr. Norton—l must say that the whole affair has a
startling and suspicious appearance. Quite enough has
been shown to prove the necessity for a further inYesti-
gation.
His worship then directed Hayes, the officer, to call
on the medical man, and tell him that his professional
Character was much involved in the disclosure, and that
he wished him to attend before him and explain his con-
duct in the matter.

Mauritius to London, has just put in leaky, and will be
surveyed.
FEDERWARDERHAFEN, March 10.—The Gerhardina
Bertha, from Sunderland to Vegesack, which was aground
on the 4th of March, has suffered serious damage.

- The prosecutrix is a woman 38 years of age, who had
had four illegitimate children in Yarmouth by different
fathers, and would appear to have formed a similar con-
nection with the prisoner, who was at the time a fellow-
servant of her's, the result of which was that she again
became enceinte. As soon as she became aware of it,
she acquainted him with her situation, demanding
money, which seemed to perplex him. However, they
met by appointment on the Denes, a large sandy district
just outside the town, on the evening of the 14th of Oc-
tober last, for the purpose of discussing the matter. As
they were sitting down so engaged near the Northum-
berland Arms Inn, the prisoner all of a sudden jumped
up, and, applying a plaster to the face of his unsuspect-
ing paramour, attempted to hold her down. She, how-
ever, managed to. get on her legs, and, tearing off the
plaster from her face, fled from him. He pursued her,
and, overtaking her, renewed the attempt to apply the
plaster, and made a ferocious attack on her, tho violence
of which may be conceived when the surgeon, who
was called in by those who, being alarmed by her
cries, discovered her lying insensible, and on her face
near the inn, stated that her front teeth were knocked
in, and her whole face swollen to a level with her nose,
while on her throat were pieces of pitch. Being taken
to the hospital the prosecutrix was soon ascertained to
be free from vital injury; but she was an inmate of that
establishment for a fortnight before she could resume he
usual business. When her cries attracted the landlord
of the inn to her, a pitch plaster adhered to her gown,
and a brace was found lying by her side ; but no one
was near her. As soon as she recovered her senses she
charged the prisoner with having attempted to burk her
with a plaster, which even then was hanging by her side
and seemed to have been made of tar or pitch, spread
-upon a small piece of cloth. As soon as she made known
the person of her assailant, the police went to the house
of the prisoner, whom they found sitting composedly
with his wife and children, and enjoying a pipe; but, on
examining his person, it was found that he had but one
brace on, while his left hand was all smeared with pitch
and tar, and a tar-pot and brush were discovered in the
house.

Mr. Prendergast then addressed the jury on behalf of
the prisoner, and, having contended that there was no
proof of the capital charge, even if the jury should be of
opinion that the prisoner was in any way connected
with this extraordinary case, proceeded to call witnesses,
who gave him an excellent character.
The jury found the prisoner guilty of attempting to
put a plaster over the face of the prosecutrix, but not
with the intent to murder her.
Sentence—Eighteen months' imprisonment.
