LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, June 30.
(Sittings at Nisi Prius at Westminster, before Mr. Jus-
tice WIGHT3IAN and a Special Jury.)
THE QUEEN V. SEPTIMUS RAMSAY, CLERK.
Upon this case being called on, only two special jury-
men answered to their names. The absentees were
fined 101. each. A tales was then prayed on behalf of the
defendant.
Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Bodkin appeared for the
prosecution, and Sir F. Thesiger and Mr. Boville were
eounsel for the defendant.
This case excited the greatest interest. The Bishop
of London, and several other gentlemen were on the
bench.
Mr. Sergeant SMEE, in opening the case, stated to the
jury that this was a case of the very highest importance,
and he begged their most calm, and patient, and dispas-
sionate attention to it. The defendant is a clergyman,
attending St. Michael's Church, Burleigh-street, Strand,
and he was called upon to answer a charge of having in-
decently assaulted Mrs. Emmerson. It would appear
that the husband of this lady had formerly been in
business at Bristol, but was unsuccessful, and, his wife
having a very fine voice, she determined to take advan-
tage of it, and she accordingly engaged herself in the
choir of several churches in London, and thus obtained a
livelihood for her family. She was about 29 years of
age, and the mother of five children. In 1845 a proposal
was made to her by the defendant to leave her then
situation, at the church in the Savoy, and accept an
engagement to lead the choir in his church. She acceded
' to this, first to sing only in the evenings, and afterwards
mornings and evenings, in St. Michael's Church. She
had not been long there before the defendant sent for
her to the vestry, and, upon that occasion, he endea-
voured to take improper liberties with her. It was to
be regretted that she had not at once disclosed this to her
husband, but, feeling that if she did so she must lose
her situation, and her children must starve, she refrained
from doing so, and the defendant had taken advantage
of this, and had several times repeated his conduct, until
it had arrived to such an extremity that she felt she
could no longer keep it from her husband, and she at
once charged the defendant with his conduct, the matter
was brougt before the churchwardens, and then this
indictment was preferred.
As we give the evidence at great length the speech of
the Learned Counsel, which was merely a statement of
the facts, is abridged.
The following evidence was adduced :
Charlotte Emmerson—l have been married, twelve
years. My husband was formerly in business in Bristol,
and was unsuccessful. I then turned my talent of sing-
ing to account. I was leader or the choir at the Savoy
Chapel from 1843 to 1845. In the latter year I made
an engagement with the defendant to sing at his
church in the evening. I attended there, and after-
wards gave up the Savoy Chapel and attended alto-
gether at the defendant's. After I had been at the
defendant's six or eight months, in July I was sent for
to the vestry, and I went there; it was in the evening of
a Sunday. In the vestry I found Mr. Ramsay. . I was
talking to him about making arrangements to sing in the
morning. He had his surplice on. He said he must
have a kiss. He kissed me, and behaved indecently to-
wards me. I told him to remember the position he was
in, for I thought some one would come in. I rushed
from him, dragged myself from him, and went up into
the organ loft. On the following Wednesday he sent
for me, and I went down into the side aisle, and Mr.
Ramsay came to me there. He said he had very nearly
got into a dreadful scrape through last Sunday evening;
that he had received a letter stating that he had been
seen taking liberties with a lady in the vestry, and that
that lady was one of the choir, but that I need not be
alarmed, as, though the letter was addressed to Mrs.
Ramsay, he had got hold of it and had answered it in
the name of his wife, stating that the lady was his
cousin. He said he believed the letter had been written
by one of Deville's men. I was then residing in Liver-
pool-street, Walworth. The defendant called there about
two months after this, between three and five o'clock.
A person of the name of Manning was at my house
on that occasion. He was an acquaintance of my
husband's, and was in the kitchen at the time.
I opened the door, and showed the defendant into
the parlour. I went into the front parlour with
him ; the folding doors were open. The defendant
said he was very happy to think he had got my
husband into a situation, at Mr. Hunt's, 10, White
hall, and he should only expect me to pay him by
giving him a kiss. Ho then endeavoured again to take
indecent liberties with me. I resisted. The struegle
lasted about five minutes. Ho then tartud it off, and
began to talk, and begged me not to say anything about
it. My husband afterwards went to Mr. Hunt's. The
defendant was in the house altogether about half an
hour. Mr. Manning afterwards questioned me as to
what had taken place, and I told him of the defendant's
conduct. I was at that time pregnant. I had four
infant children living. I saw the defendant on
the following Sunday. He said that on going home
from my house on the Wednesday a little boy
had struck him with a crowbar, which had made
him very ill. I was confined in April, 1846. The de-
fendant called at my house about three months after my
confinement. I was then living at Warwick-place, Pim-
lico. He then stayed about twenty minutes or half an
hour. Ho. then took liberties with me by kissing me
and pulling me about. He came again in October, at
one or two o'clock. He then proceeded in the same style
he had before. He endeavoured to pull me on to his
knee. I resisted him very strongly, and he said he
would soon take that modesty out of me, and exposed
his person. It is impossible I can state what else he
did. He did nothing more. My husband was then in
the employ of Messrs. Ackermann, in the Strand. The
defendant had procured that situation for him. One of
the firm was a member of Mr. Ramsay's congregation.
In the beginning of the present year some differences
arose between the choir of Mr. Ramsay's church, and I
addressed him a letter ; and the defendant shortly after-
wards called upon me, and destroyed the letter I had
written him. 1 wrote to him in consequence of my
salary having been some time due, and I told him that
I had been very ill, and it had cost me Bd. every Sunday
to go to the church ; that he had very much reduced
my salary, and I thought it would be better for him to
have paid my salary, for I had heard many things about
his character that had astounded me. He told me he
had come to ask me what I had referred to about his
character. I told him I had heard he had ruined his
nursery-maid, and sent her to Canada ; that she had
since applied to come home, but he had sent her 501. to
keep her there. I told him Mrs. Ward, the pew-opener,
had said so. lie made no reply. I then said I had
heard remarks about him and Mrs. Ward. He asked
me if I thought it was likely ; that if she had been a
young woman of thirty it would be a different case. He
said he thought he should turn her out of the church.
I told him to be careful what he did. I then told him I
had heard her say if he did discharge her she would
blow him to the devil. He said, " Well, I must be
careful what I do, and I had better burn this letter "
(alluding to my letter) ; and he then burned it. This
was on Monday or Tuesday. I went to the church next
Sunday, but did not sing, and the choir was discharged.
A letter had been sent me, from. Mr. Jones, the church-
warden, dismissing the choir, and I then wrote the de-
fendant, this letter:—
" In answer to Mr. Jones's letter, I wish you distinctly
to understand that we have given the choir an engage-
ment for twelve months. As regards myself, I suppose
you have been calculating whom it would be most expe-
dient to get rid of, me or Mrs. Ward, but if you do not
pay the a 5/., you will find to your sorrow the result, and
unless matters are arranged to my satisfaction before
Sunday I shall make my husband acquainted with all
your conduct, and I would rather see you in the claws of
a lion than in his."
I then received a letter from Mr. Manning, the de-
fendant's solicitor's :
" 9th of January, 1847.—1 have been consulted by
Mr. Ramsay and his friends on the slanderous reports
raised by you, and particularly respecting a very extra-
ordinary letter which Mrs. Emmerson addressed to Mr.
Ramsay, and which, if brought before the proper au-
thorities, would lead to the conclusion that it was an
attempt to extort money. As the offence charged is a
very serious one, I would caution you in a friendly spirit
to avoid a repetition of the same, but, at the same time,
in justice to the character of Mr. Ramsay, I must call on
you and Mrs. Emmerson to retract, in writing, all your
slanders and reports against that gentleman ; otherwise,
it will be my painful duty to adopt such proceedings,
both civil and criminal, as will lead to ruinous conse-
quences. With regard to the salary, I shall be in a posi-
lion to transmit it.
That letter was received by my husband. On the Sun-
day afternoon another letter came from Mr. Manning
" In furtherance of the view we mutually took of the
matter, yesterday, and with a desire to afford an oppor-
tunity for explanation, I have arranged a meeting with
Mr. Ramsay, Mr. Ackerenann, and the chapelwardens,
at my office te-morrow; and I beg to invite you and Mrs.
Emmerson in a friendly spirit to attend such meeting.
I shall not act professionally, but only assume the part
of a friendly natllatcr,"
My husband and myself attended at that meeting at
Mr. Manning's house, We did not take any friend
with us. I found there Mr. Ackermann, Mr. Ramsay,
the two churchwardens, and Mr. Manning. Upon our
going ih Mr. Manning said my letter insinuated many
things against the character of Mr. Ramsay, and they
had met to know what was the fact. He said it ap-
peared to him it was the effusion of an angry woman
because I could not gain my end. ;t was then pro-
posed, that if I did not like to state all the facts before
all the gentlemen, he would request my husband to re-
tire with two of the married gentlemen. Air. Manning
had asked me if I could adduce anything against Mr.
Ramsay. I said I could. He said, "Has he eteis taken
any liberties with you?" I said " Yes." He then pro-
posed my leaving the room with two married gentlemen.
I then said to Mr. Ramsay, "If ho had had as much
regard for his own character and the church as I had
he would never have brought me to that meeting; that
he had brought mo there, and that I was bound ,to
speak the truth as he had tasked ma td it:"
He made no answer. I then retired with the
two gentlemen, Mr. Manning and Mr. Jones. Down to

of what had taken place. I made a statement to the
two gentlemen, and they retired into another room, and

ACCIDENT'S IN COLLIERIES.
Mr. BAILEY wished to know what power the ma-
gistrates had to interfere with regard to colliery explo-
sions. Scarcely six months passed without accidents
happening, and he thought it right that some inquiry
should take place with the view of ascertaining the case,
and of providing a remedy against them.
Sir G. GREY said that an inquiry could not take
place unless circumstances rendered it necessary.
Mr. HUME quite agreed in the opinion that an in-
quiry should take place when any of these accidents
occurred, and hoped that Government would also take
steps to inquire into the collision of vessels at sea, with
a view of adopting meausure to prevent the great loss of
life which frequently occurred from them.
Mr. FOSTER complained of the imputations which
were cast upon the owners and masters of collieries with
regard to these accidents.
Mr. DUNCOMBE said that he had this information

Dr. BO WRING wished to know, from the Secretary
at War, whether he had received any information as to
the alleged misconduct of the military of Malta at the
theatre and elsewhere.
Mr. FOX MAI:LE said that he had made inquiry at
the Horse Guards, and found that no report had reached
there with respect to the subject.
PRISONS BILL AND CUSTODY OF OFFEN-
DERS BILL.

Lord MAHON wished to ask the Right Hon. Baronet,
the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what
course he intended to adopt with respect to the Prisons
Bill and the Custody of offenders Bill.

Sir G. GREY said, that it was of great import-
ance to the country that the Custody of Offenders Bill
should pass as soon as possible, and he hoped to be able
to bring up that Bill, with such amendments as should
induce the House to give its sanction to it. He hoped
to be able to get the Bill through Committee to-night.
With respect to the Prisons Bill, the Government did
not think that measure of such immediate importance.

no doubt of the accuracy of the facts.
NAVIGATION (No. 2) Bill.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL po,tponed the second reading
of this Bill till twelve o'clock to-morrow.
HEALTH OF TOWNS' BILL.

Mr. T. DUNCO MBE presented a petition nume-
rously signed by inhabitants of Islington, praying the
House not to allow the establishment of the proposed
fever hospital at Islington ; and also praying the House
to consent to the clause which he proposed should be
inserted in the Health of Towns Bill.

Lord MORPETH moved the order of the day for
going into Committee upon the Health of Towns' Bill.
Mr. G. PALMER said that, in his opinion the clauses
cf this measure upon which they were about to go into
Committee were most unconstitutional. The Bill, in its
operation must necessarily deprive many corporate bodies
of powers and:privileges which they had hitherto exercised
with great advantage to themselves and to the'public. The
responsibility for the acts of the Commissioners who were
to put this Act into operation were to rest upon one Com-
missioner, who was to have a seat in that House. They
all knew what was meant by that responsibility, and
how easily it were to be got rid of. He objected to the
principle of any compulsory sale of property belonging
of public bodies and private parties—not under the ope-
ration of a proper Act of Parliament, but at the discre-
tion of one individual who might never see the spot, or
know the detailed circumstances of the case with which
he had to deal. He should resist this Bill upon prin-
ciple alone, and not from any other interested motive,
and he should therefore move that this bill be committee
that day three months.
Colonel SIBTHORPE said that he had paid some
attention to this Bill, and he did not think that all the
parties interested in this matter were thoroughly ac-
quainted with the dangerous power which it placed in
the hands of the Government. The Noble Lord who
had proposed the Bill had in the first instance limited its
operation to four miles, but he had suddenly, and
without any reason, increased its operation to ten.
He was informed that there were sixteen metropolitan
Members in that House, and the fear of the opposition
of these sixteen Members he supposed had induced the
Government to exclude London from the operation of
the Bill. He had the honour to represent the important
city of Lincoln, and he had no doubt he should have the
same distinguished honour in the next Parliament ; and
he could tell the House that his constituents were
as clean as the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor
of London or the Common Council of the
city of London, and they did not require any super-
vision of this sort. They did not want a commissioner
to be continually coming down and telling them that they
had no right to do this, that, and the other. Local
government was the essence of the constitution, and he
could not consent to pass a Bill which proposed to strike
a blow at the foundation of all local governments
throughout the country. He condemned this partial le-
gislation, and unless the Government changed their sys-
tem of proceeding they would lose the support of all who
now voted with them.
Mr. W. BROWNE said that this was the most im-
portant Bill which had been introduced during the ses-
sion. The state of Liverpool at the present moment
was most deplorable, for want of proper sanatory
regulations. There were not less than from six
thousand to seven thousand people ill of fever
at the present time in the hospitals of that town, and
unless some preventive measures were taken, the most
incalculable evils would be entailed upon society. A
medical gentleman told him that during last week no less
than 1001 had been spent in providing coffins for the
poor.
Mr. MACKINNON said that the principle of the Bill
was good, but there were some things omitted which he
believed were calculated to effect much good, and which
he would wish to see introduced into it.
(LEFT SITTING.)

Mr. \VAKLEY supported the prayer of the petition.
Lord MORPETH said that, so far as he was con-
cerned, he could not have any possible objection to the
clause proposed by the Hon. Member for Finsbury.
BORNEO.

On the motion of Mr. EWART, the following return
was ordered:—Copies of all communications to and
from her Majesty's Government relative to the affairs
of Borneo, from the Ist day of December, 1842, to the
24[11 day of June, 1847.
ISLE OF MAN.

Mr. NEWDEGATE wished to know when the report
of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the state
of the criminal law of this island would be presented;
and if, when it was presented, the Government intended
to introduce any measure on the subject, and whether it
would be followed by an inquiry into the condition of
the civil law.
Sir G. GREY said the Commissioners had promised
to present their report in May, but on the 31st of that
month Mr. Elliott, one of the Commissioners, stated
that owing to the difficulties of the inquiry it could not
be presented for a short time. He was sorry to say that
it had not yet been presented. Until he obtained that
report he could not state what course he should adopt.
He had stated that an inquiry into the civil law should
not be instituted until the inquiry into the criminal law
had been completed. With respect to the Isle of Man,
the Government would be happy to lay any papers on
the table of the House.
EDUC ATION.
In reply to a question from Mr. HINDLEY,
Lord JOHN RUSSELL stated that the recent
minutes on education would be presented to the House
so soon as her Majesty had expressed her intention to
that effect.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUIAY 1, 1841.

and evenings, to sing at the defendant's. It was about
a fortnight before that that the first assault took place.
It was ten minutes before the defendant was about to
commence the duties of the evening. I struggled, but I
did not call out. There is a door that leads from the
vestry into the church—it was shut, but not locked.
Any one could have walked in. After this occurred I
went and performed my duties, as did Mr. Ramsay. I
was to have 161. per annum for singing morning and
evening. My husband was not a singer, but his name
was nominally used. On the next occasion, in Liver-
pool-street, it was the 10th of September, 1845,
between three and five o'clock. Mr. Ramsay did not
go through the kitchen to go into the parlour, but he
could see Manning smoking in the kitchen when
he went into the parlour. There was a window in
the parlour looking into the garden. There was a very
large flower-stand before the window, which was paintad
in imitation of ground glass. I struggled from five to
ten minutes. I did not call out at all. I knew Manning
was near at hand, and that was the reason for not calling
out, as I did not wish to expose Mr. Ramsay, and, from
the situation I was in, I knew what the end of it would
be if I raised any report; and the feelings of my husband
formed another reason. I was able to defend myself, and
therefore did not need assistance. My gown was torn out
of the gathers and my hair disturbed when I came out
of the room, and Manning said there had been somettaing
wrong, and therefore I told Manning, but begged him
not to tell my husband. At Christmas, 1845, my husband
presented Mr. and Mrs. Ramsay with a turkey. I never
consulted Mrs. Ward as to what would be a suitable pre-
sent to make to Mr. Ramsay. After Christmas, 1845,
four of my children were christened by Mr. Ramsay.
Manning was godfather for one. My children are all
fair-haired. They were christened with my maiden
name Sugden first, as "Sugden Emmerson." There are
two or three days that I have not been asked about. I
mentioned what took place three months after my con-
finement, at the meeting. I wrote a narrative after the
meeting. I said Mr. Ramsay had called several times,
but I did not state particular dates. His conduct was
repeated six or seven times. I did not present a purse
to Mr. and Mrs. Ramsay on the day following the 27th
of October, when he took very great liberties with me.
I had made purses some time before, and my husband
asked me for them, and he gave them to Mr. and Mrs.
Ramsay. I have some at home now.
Sir F. THF:SIGER—I don't care about that.
Mr. Sergeant SHEE—That's to show it was not made
for Mr. Ramsay.
Sir F. TUESIGER—I don't think my friend has a right
to interfere.
Mr. Sergeant SHEE—Because I don't think you are
treating the witness fairly.
Sir F. THESIGER—I would appeal to your Lordship
whether I am acting unfairly.
Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN—I think you are not acting
unfairly.
Sir E. THESIGER—I have a very difficult task to per-
form in examining this witness.
Mr. Sergeant SHEE—Aud my friend must recollect
that the witness has a very difficult task to perform.
Witness—l have not spoken in high terms of Mr.
Ramsay since October, 1846, either to Peters or Mrs.
Ward. I attended to my duties afterwards, because it
was my bread and cheese. Mr. Ramsay has lent my
husband 101. My engagement on the 30th of July was
by the churchwardens, but I have a written engagement
with Mr. Ramsay. After we had indicted Mr. Ramsay,
we called upon Deville's men, but what took place be-
tween them and my husband Ido not know. I did not
say that I had written the letter in anger, and that if
Mr. Ramsay had paid me I should not have said any-
thing about it. The proposal to go out with two married
men was not my proposal. I showed great reluctance at
having to give these details before men. I did not state
the particulars myself to all the men at the meeting
when I returned into the room. Mr. Manning said
that if it had only been a kiss he should not have
thought anything of it ; but as it was so black a
charge he could not be a party to a compromise. He
said that any man would take a kiss from a woman
where he thought it would be well received. Mr.
Clark, the organist, told me to go to Mr. Hobler, and I
should have justice done me. I know Mr. Braithwaite;
he has sung in the choir at St. Michael's. I was at Mar-
gate, singing, about five or six years ago, at the Tivoli-
gardens; I sung there as Miss Sugden. I don't know
that Wright. was the cash-taker at those gardens. I
have seen him to-day. No complaints were made of my
conduct to men in those gardens. I never heard of such
a thing in my life. I was not discharged in consequence
of my bad conduct. I know Mr. Walton; he is here.
I never asked him to introduce me to men, but he en-
deavoured in every way to seduce me; and he told me if
I would submit to him he would introuce me to all the
noblemen and gentlemen in London; and because I
would not he has done all he can to injure me. I never
offered him a percentage, and said that rich old men
were best. Oh God! it is too bad; it is shameful. I
never walked with a man in my life at the gardens.
They tried to defame my character. and could not succeed;
and when my husband threatened to horsewhip them
they begged his pardon. I had before that sung at
Belgrave Chapel. I was not dismissed, but in conse
quence of my sending a deputy the clergyman said I
must come myself. We lived in the house of a Mr.
Mitchell; we left before the last quarter was due. lie
afterwards came drunk, and demanded his rent, and I
charged him with brutal conduct to me. I never told
Mr. Reekes that a Mr. Blatch, of Brompton, was the
father of one of my children. I formerly sang at the
Opera; I was discharged in consequence of my refusing
to sing alto instead of treble. I did not state that Mr. costa
had taken liberties with me. I did not tell Mrs. Ward
or Mr. Case so. I never told Mr. Braithwaite that I
was passionately fond of Mr. Ramsay and adored the
ground he trod on, or that Mr. Ramsay had kissed me,
and my husband knew of it, but did not care, or that I
was intimate with Manning and had been out a week
together with him, or that I had been in France with
him. Manning sometimes called for me at the church.
I know Mr. Clark. I never threatened Mr. Ramsay in
Clark's presence. My husband said at the meeting that
if he found anything wrong between his wife and Ram-
say he would turn him out of the church or rot in a
gaol. I did not state to Walker that Ramsay slept one
night with Mrs. Ward, and the next with her daughter.
I know Daniel M`Cormack, the bellringer at the church.
I sent to a beer-shop for him, as I wanted to ask him a
question. I asked him if he ever saw Mr. Ramsay
taking libei ties with me in the vestry through the sky-
light ; he said he had seen nothing of the kind. I did
not offer him a purse and say, " Always make a friend
Wien you can ; you had better take this and witness
the vestry for me, and I will take care you shall be well
rewarded." Nor did I tell him that I had plenty of
money, and had a friend who had plenty, and that we
were determined to spend the last farthing in exposing
Ramsay, unless I was reinstated. I was not present
when my husband charged Mr. Jones, the churchwar-
den, with taking liberties with me. My husband was
discharged by Mr. Ackermann after we indicted Mr.
Ramsay. I have had two situations in churches since,
and through Mr. Ratnsay's insinuations I have been
tut ned out. I have been told so by Staples, the organist
of St. Mary's, in the Strand, and I have his letter to
prove it. I never heard from my husband that he had
told Ramsay that he was a needy man, and if he gave
him 2001. he would hush up the matter.
This witness was four hours under examination, and
conducted herself with extreme propriety.
She was about to leave the Court, when Sir F.
Thesiger called out, "Don't let her go out of court."
One of the jury interposed, and said such an examina-
tion was no joke, and she ought to be permitted to go
out and get refreshment.
Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN said—Yes, with an officer,
because she should not communicate with the wiser
witnesses.
James Manning—l am a bookseller. I know Mr.
and Mrs. Emmerson. In September I was in the house
when the defendant came there. Mrs. Emmerson
opened the door to him; they went into the back
parlour. I was attracted by the child crying, and I
went and listened at the parlour door, and there I heard
a bustle or struggle. It continued for ten minutes or a
quarter of an hour. I heard nothing said. I then re-
turned to the kitchen, opened the yard-door, and knelt
down on the step and looked through an opening in the
window, and I saw Mr. Ramsay pulling Mrs. Emmerson
about, and pulling her towards him; she was endeavour-
ing to get away, and at last, by a desperate effort, she
succeeded in getting from him, and sat down in a chair,
and took the child, and appeared to be much exhausted.
I then saw her putting up her hair. When she came
out of the room I perceived the gathers of her gown
were torn out. She looked confused and exhausted.
She said, " I'm glad the fellow's gone." I then asked
her about it. She said, "He has been pulling me about,
and that it was not the first time." I said, " Where
was it, then?" She said, "In the vestry." I asked her
why she did not tell Mr. Emmerson? She said, "If
Emmerson knew it, he would pull him out of the pulpit,
and he would lose his place, and my family be deprived
of bread." She went on her knees, and begged me not

Cross-examined—On the previous Sunday I had pro-
mised Emmerson to go to the rehearsal at Burleigh-
street, and I called on my way. I drop in as it suits me
to take my pipe. When before the grand jury I made a
mistake in my description of the window. When I
heard the bustle in the parlour I did not go in, because
it was no business of mine; but I went to the parlour
window to satisfy my curiosity; and I then saw she was
sufficiently master to gain the victory, and therefore
there was no necessity fur me to interfere. I never was

facts before them, and the circumstances under which
they were produced. The Learned Counsel then went
through the evidence given by Mrs. Emmerson, com-
rnentint, upon almost every senterce of it, urging that
her conduct was not that of an injured woman ; that
no one could for a moment imagine that a woman who
had been so treated would continue to attend a church
where a man who had acted in so base a manner
preached the Gospel, and this for the paltry pittance of
161. a year for the services of herself and her husband.
He contended that her whole story was such that no
one could believe it. Would any woman have permitted
her husband to make presents to the man who had en-
deavoured to seduce her? But, as the case was without
support, so must it be without contradiction. The de-
fendant, howe,er, must endeavour to destroy the credit
of the only witness upon whom the charge rested. In
1843 she was a singer at the Tivoli-gardens, and dis-
charged for her immoral conduct, making overtures of
the most disgusting description.
Mr. Sergeant SHEE said, his Learned Friend could
not go into such matters.
Sir F. THEstoun said, until he was told he was pur-
suing an improper course he should proceed to show the
utter worthlessness of her character. He would show
this woman tampering with witnesses, and endeavouring to
induce them to give:4lse testimony,and it he found a woman
endeavouring to pollute the pure source of justice what
must she be, and what credit could they give to her—
and doing this for the purpose of ruining a man against
whom, except from her polluted lips, the breath of ca-
lumny never issued? When he found such a woman,
whose reputation was so blasted, thus charging a man
of so good and excellent a character as he should prove
him to be, he felt it his duty to call upon hem to dis-
miss him with the same high character he had hitherto
enjoyed.
Tremendous applause followed the address of the
Learned Counsel, which was delivered in the most ener-
getic manner.
The case was then adjourned until to morrow morning.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
WORSHIP-STREET.
A lady named Nowlan, the proprietress of an edte
cational and boarding establishment at Upper Clapton,
made application to Mr. Broughton for his advice under
the following circumsnces.
The applicant stated, that in the early part of this
year a man, of very respectable appearance, called at
her establishment, accompanied by a little boy, and,
representing himself as a merchant in the City, 'handed
her his card, and requested to be made acquainted with
her terms for tie beard and education of a child of the
age of the one he had with him. She laid before him
one of her prospectuses, and having drawn his attention
to a note there, specifically mentioning that the money
would be payable quarterly, the terms, about thirty
guineas per annum, were aeci ded to, and the child
received. On the first quarter expiring the account was
sent in to the residence the parent had given, but no
notice was taken of it, and, all subsequent applications
having met a similar result, she made a personal appli-
cation at the house specified on the father's card, in
Fenchurch-street, and found that no such person lived
there. By means of an acquaintance of the parent,
however, she had succeeded in again communicating
with him, but had been unable to find out his real
address, which he carefully concealed, and although she
had written occasionally to him, desiring that he would
fetch his son away, or she must herself adopt measures
to get rid of him, he had made nothing but paltry
excuses, evidently w,th the intention of leaving the
child upon her hands until the vacation expired, when
she felt satisfied he would place it in some other estab-
lishment and defraud the proprietor in the same manner,
and she therefore wished the magistrate's advice how to
act, as she did not like to turn the poor child into the
street, even if she were justified in so doing, and it was
evident the father did not care what became of him.
Upon hearing this statement Mr. BR UGUTON directed
Holland, the warrant officer, to make inquiries into it
with a view to induce the parent to come to terms, and
prevent a further exposure, and
Holland now stated, that he had called at the residence
the father had given, which he found to be a most re-
spectable mercantile house, tied on obtainir"e an inter-
view with one of the partners was informed by that gen-
tleman that the person complained of h
hard vacate d certainlythem had
chambers there formerly, he d
a long time since, and was wholly unjustified in giving a
reference there, as he was certainly a person nut to be
trusted even to the extent of 101.; and, from what he
had heard of him, he was convinced that he was in the
habit of practising similar impositions. He (the
officer) had also used his endeavours to ascertain the
man's residence, but had not succeeded in doing so, and
he felt assured that he was keeping out of the way in-
tentionally.
Mr. BROUGHTON told the applicant that she should
have made proper inquiries as to the father's respecta-
bility before she received the child into her house, and
as it was now quite manifest that she had not the re
molest prospect of obtaining her money, he would advise
her to apply to the parish officers of Stoke Newington,
and, upon laying a statement of the cinnunstances before
them, it would be their duty to receive the child into
their workhouse.
The applicant thanked the magistrate and quitted the
court, and Holland yesterday announced that Mr. Dos-
sett, the overseer of the parish, had given directions for
the child to be placed in their union on the preceding
night.
The magistrate requests us to acknowledge his receipt
or xi. cea. ea. from " X. Y. Z." for the poor-box, which
the donor desired might he notice

THAME
Caroline Mitchell, a young woman who has given
much trouble to the magistracy, e police, and the sur-
geons of the London Hospital, by her repeated attempts
to commit self-destruction, was brought before Mr.
Yardley, charged with making another attempt of the
same kind, in which she had very nearly succeeded.
A respectable woman named Clark stated, that on
Monday night, at half-past eight o'clock, she saw the
prisoner running towards the swivel bridge, over the
London-dock entrance in Old Gravel-lane, exclaiming,
I will—l will do it." In a moment the prisoner slipped
under the chains on to the pier head, and plunged into
the water, which is there more than twenty-four feet in
depth. V itness was thunderstruck, but as soon as she
recovered from her surprise she screamed aloud for
help, and the servants of the dock company and others
procured the drags, and threw ropes towards the prisoner
who sank twice, and came up again, when the prisoner
caught hold of one rope, and a young sailor was lowered
down by the side of the perpendicular wall, and, while
she faintly held on, he seized her round the waist, and
saved her. The prisoner was taken to a public-house
near, and after some time had elapsed she was restored.
When the prisoner came to her senses, she raved and
said, " Why did you not let me go to the bottom ? I will
destroy myself."
John Putt, a police-constable, 177 K, said the pri-
soner once threw herself into the Thames, and after a
great deal of trouble was resthc'tated, and since then
had made other attempts on her life. On Monday
night he met the prisoner in Old Gravel-lane. She
was then drunk, and said " I intend to do it, I will ;"
and ran away from him. The prisoner was a woman of
the town, and had just come out of prison, after being
confined in default of finding sureties to keep
to the peace,
in consequence of her having attempt commit
suicide. He knew that she had made, similar attempts
repeatedly.
James Wittleton, a police-constable, No. 173 K, stated,
that the prisoner was charged with attempting to drown
herself about three months ago. She then selected the
same place as she had done on Monday night, and was
with difficulty saved by the medical attendants and others.
After she was locked up in the station-house, he
on heardn-
a
rattling in the throat during the night, and up ope
ing the door of the cell in which she was confined, he
found a lump of oxalic acid in her mth, which he
ou
took from her, and he had got it now. She was taken
to the London Hospital, where she remained for several
weeks before she was cured.
The prisoner, who treated the affair with much uncon-
cern, said she had nothing at all to say.

TUE GREAT BRITAIN.—Oa Friday we paid a visit
to the Great Britain, fur the purpose of witnessing per-
sonally the operations which are in progress to raise he;
previous to being floated off. The arrangements are
certainly very ingenious, but cannot be clearly described
to those who have not seen them. On each side of the
vessel are driven upon their ends into the sand, until they
reach the solid rock, a number of logs of timber in an
inclined position. Near the top of two of these logs is to
be a box or case filled with sand, weighing about fifty
tons. Upon the top of each log is a sheave of iron, in
groove in which runs a rope w hich communicates with
the box and with the vessel. The boxes are supported
by large chain cables, and their object is to raise the
vessel, for according to the principles of mechanism, as
they sink the ship rises. There are to be twenty of
these boxes, ten on each side of the vessel. Eight of
them are at present in the position intended for them,
and in process of being filled; the rest will soon be coin.
pleted. The greater number will be placed towards the
ship's bow, where she is deeper in the sand, nearly to the
depth of lour feet two inches, and fewer towards the
stern, where she is not so deep. The ship had been sunk
seven feet, but by means of lightening, that is, pumping
out the water, and placing stones underneath, she has
been raised to her present position. She is now perfectly
water-tight. Mr. Bremner, the eminent engineer, is
constantly on board, superintending the operations. All
is expected to be ready for the final effort by the end of
the next month. A Government steamer is expected to
be present on that occasion, lending her assistance.--•

MONEY MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 14 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of W. 17s.
10112 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
25.50 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being
25.55, it follows that gold is 0.20 per cent. dearer in
London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the
price of gold is 432 per mark, which, at the ,English Mint
price of 31. 17s. 101/Id. per ounce for standard gold, gives
an exchange of 13.81 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh OR
London at short being 13.91, it follows that gold is 0.35
per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course
of exchange at New York on London is 1061 per cent.,
and the par of exchange between England and America
being 109 23-40 per_ cent., it follows that the exchange is
3.33 per cent. against England. But the quoted exchange
at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, tie interest
must be deducted from the above difference.
