tg the teil. bf the louse, to p're'vent her 4e&e;s.
That upon seeing him enter, Anne Full tm
fled to a back apartment. That upon -his re-
turn, he tliund the mother and daughter -toge-
ther. That in a few moments Hutchins entered,
and seized upon the latter ; that the mother inter-
posed to rescue her child, and in so doing hatther
cap and clothes torn, her face and arms were black
and blue with the blows she had received from the.
Defendant, who effe6led his purpose, and escaped
from the window, after which witness saw no more
of him.

P, Fuilaw, son to the Plaintiff, deposed, that his
sister had been upon a visit with him; that the De-
fendant had there got acquainted with her ; that. a
certain degree of intimacy subsisted between the
witness and the family of the Hutchins's, in which
witness had,great confidence. That the Defendant
*had invited witness to dine the very day betbre he
carried off his sister the- first time ; that since their
second elopement, Hutchins had taken frequent op-
portunities to insult and threaten witness, such as
brandishing a stick at him in the street, &c.—
Upon his cross-examination, Mr. Fullam admitted
that some young men bad taken what he thought
improper liberties with,' his sister, among others a
Mr. Bellew, who,-during his absence, had frequently
,contrived,to galls admittance to his house; but he
positively swore that he did not believe that those
familiarities had gone to any criminal extent.
Some other Witnesses were examine& -whose
testimony went to prove the moral conduet of Mr.
and Mrs. Fullam.

On the part of the • Defendant, a variety of evi-
dence was produced, tending to prove' the baseness
of the chara&er of Miss Anne Mani previous to
her elopement
,with Mr. Hutchins. Evidence was
also adduced to prove the
.relative tiiiscondua of
Mr. and Mrs. Fall= to each other, and also to-
wards-their daughter.

The Counsel- for the, Plaintiff, in-reply, said
" God that if a young woman should once.
make a falSe step, she should become- public pro-
perty, and thereby be thrown' upon a merciless
world, a prey to vice and despair, having every
avenue to hope closed upon her, and every induce-
ment to repentance and reformation cut off." •
The Jury returned a verdia for the Plaintiff-
-8001. damages, and 6d. costs.

Or Wednesddy James Perzion;,Esq.
.of Ever sham
Lodge, and formerly of Rothwell, near Leeds,- ap
peared to an indiament found against him a; the
present York AssiZes, for a rape, committed on the
person of Elizabeth Bruff, an aged widow, anti of
an appearance by no means prepossessing; The'
Court, during the trial, was uncommonly crowded.
After the examination of the ProsecutriX had been
gone through, the Judge said that her condo& had
been such as to render it , impossible' for a. Jury
say that the crime. had been committed; of course,
it could not be attended with any advantage to pro-,
ceed further in the trial.

Serjeabt Parker, of the ,3d Dragoon Guards (now
in custody at Norwich), denies any knowledge of
the idle-dud murder of, Eliz. Hedgeley, an unfor-
tunate girl„ at Brighton, in May, 1796, whose body
was afterwards thrown into a well, where it was
found. Parker further, says, he never had any con-
versation on the subje& with 'Sobb, his accuser.
On Monday last nearly thirty oyster-dredging
vessels, belonging to Brightlingsea and Rowhedge,
came in force into the Brixham River on the Essex
coast, and began dredging for the oysters upon the
layers in that River, the property of Sir H. MILD•
NAY, Bart. on the pretence that it was a fishery in
common right. After ,a strong resistance on' the parts
of the tenants of the layers, two of the must a&ive
invaders of their property were secured, and being
carried before a Magistrate, were committed to
Chelmsford gaol,; on a•charge of feloniously stealing
oysters, the property of the complainants,.
'A few days-ago one Lennox, a journeyman joiner,
lately residing at Potchergate, Carlisle, was commit-
ted
,to Lancaster Castle, to static' his trial -at the
sizes, for breaking into the, connting-house belong-
ing to a manufadory at a place situate some distance
en the other side of Kendal, and stealing therefrom
bank-notes to a-considerable amount. ft appeared,
that be had gone from Carlisle for the express pur-
pose of committing the crime; he had fitted up the
premises, stid consequently was acquainted with
the place. He was deteCted by going into a public,
house, and offering one of the notes ror change,
when the landlady sheaved it to a person who was
sitting in the parlour, and who proved to be the
foreman of the fa6tory. -He had Lennox appre-
hended, who immediately made an attack upon his
life, by cutting his throat with a knife. The wound
was not mortal, and he is recovering.

A few days since as some awn Were levelling ,a
piece of ground at Quarr Abbey, between Ryde and
Wootten Bridge, in the Isle of Wight, a human
skeleton was dug up,,which had been interred, it is
imagined, nearly boo years. The perfea state it was
found in has attraaied v,sst numbers of people to the
place, to examine it. The trunk of the head is per-.
fed, with all the teeth sound, and of enamelled
whiteness. Several vaults have likewise been dis-
covered, and coins of great antiquity.

of a most violent and atrocious rape committed by
him on a female passenger, whilst on. board the
Packet lying in the harbour of Leith. The evidence
which was disc;osed was of too gross and atrocious
a nature to admit of being repeated here. A Mes-
senger had been sent from Scotland with a warrant
from Lord DEINSINNANy one of the Lords Commis-
sioners of Justiciary, to receive the Prisoner, who
was accordingly delivered, over to the Messenger,
for the purpose of being conveyed to Scotland,

while, till at length it was discovered that he had ';
concealed it under some shavings. He Was corn-';
mitteil ti)r farther examination. •
