ceeded in capitally conviain the Prisoner ? which,
after endeavOuting to evade- the question, he' at
length acknowledged, and that it was his intention

bed as usual, with two of her master's, children, .a
boy and a girl, one nine, land the ether ten years
of age. out one o'clock she awoke,. and found
the PrisOber in her bed. -Her evidence distinctly
proved all that was necessary to support such an in-
diftment ; but the improbability of the children not I
being alarmed, if the Prosecutrix had made any re-
sistance, was so palpable, that the Jury acquitted the
Prisoner.

on her person. The Defendant is a hairdresser;.
and the Prosecutrix, a young girl, about 14, went
to his shop for the purpose of having her hair cut.
He took her into a parlour, 'and there behaved in a
manner which left no
.1.09111 to doubt of his criminal
design. On her dross-examination it appeared that
the girl had conducted herself with much levity, par-
ticularly in writing a letter to the Defendant of an
improper tendency, and unfit for a modest female
to indite. The Court accordingly stopped all further,
proceedings, and directed the Defendant to be ac-
quitted.
