This was an action brought by the plaintiff, to recover.
compensation for the seduetion of her daughter, Mary Anne
Carroll. Damages were laid at 5,0004 and the, defendant
pleaded Not, Guilty. ' - ' •
Mr. Dwrisn stated the case, from which it appeared that in`
the year 1812 the defendant lived with his father at Clon-
dalkin, irsthe county 'of Dublin, at., which period he was
about 21 years of, age, and zeduced,the-plaintiff herself, who'.
was then a young girl residing with her father, who lived in
the same neighbourhood, and he had by her three children—
a son, who was in 1818; a daughter, the girl alleged to
be seduced in the present 'action, born in 1824 ; and a third
child, also a female, born in 1834. The defendant, he said,
reared this family well . and respectably, and"educated his
eldest daughter in the best manner up to the year 1842, when
' he also seduced her from the paths of virtue, and had a child
by'her in 1843. The Learned Gentleman, in conclusion, said
he Would prove these facts by
.the unfortunate girl herself,
and read a nUmber of letters which were written by Mr.
Arabia to her. • .
Mary Anne Carroll, examined by Mr: ItousasTosig—l am
daughter of the plaintiff. My mother lives. in Bride-street,
and has lived there for four years. We lived there in 1842,
daring the summer, at the time the occurrence, took place,
and we liVed before that in French-street, and previously in
Cumberlaed place. My father is John L. Arabin. 1 I saw
him at my mOther's place. He always came wherter we
were. My mother kept no servant iu Bride-street i 1842.
I had a brother and one stater. He is older and she is younger;
than I am; I went to school to Miss Lord's, in Stafford-
street,,
and to Mrs. Allen's,'in Stephen's-green. My father
paid for my education. Ire paid Mies • Lord, and 21. to Mts.
Allen by one of the witaesse.s. I used to do the worst in my
mother's Weise. My father wanted nie to be a boarder at Miss
Lord's; but my mother did not Wish it, and I was onlysent as
a day scholar. My father had a Country house at Carkagh,
near Clondelkin.- - I was often there. Whenever I Went to
the- country he used to bring me into town in his car. He
often brought' me home from Clare-street to my mother's
when it was late. It was his own hoase in Clare-street, and
his brother, the counsellor, lived in, it. I was frequeatly in
that house: -- -I remember making an appointment with my
father, the defendant, in the year 1842. I appointed to meet
him in Sackville-street, one .little street off Sackville-street,
the name of which I forget. He Made that appointment in
my mother's house. The defendant did not tell me what he
wanted with-me, for he often before .met me and brought me
to Harries', on-Wellington-quay, and other places. I met
him, according to the appOintment, about five o'clock in the
evening. It was summer time. Mr. Aribin was in the
house when I arrived. He Was in the 'Parlour, and he
brought me np to the drawing-room. We had some canver;
sation there. I fagot whaf it was. I don't rememberamtch
what he said or did on that occasion. He told me I his
own property, and he could' do what he liked with met He
did do what he liked with' me. No man ever acted to we as
he did on that occasion,
,before or since. I had a child by
Mr. Arabin, which is alive: 'My mother has it. Shel is in
this town. '. The'clefendant-told Me not to tell anybodlvhat
had occurred, •and he sent me home 'in a 'cir. rotten sa my
father after that. I was never in that twine again with him,
but he was in a house afterwards with me, and treated me in
the same way. He was very'sorry for what occurred.. He
used to call me -Mary and ?Oily. Ile', frequently ga me
o
money, and always gave me presents of Toney bothbefore
:and after this transaction until lately. He often wrote, me
since/the se luction toot: place, but never before it. . (Th wit-
ness here identified the several 'Unsigned letters, which were
read by counsel; arid swore that they were' in • the defendant's
handwriting.) The child I had by Mr. Arabia was a female.
He often saw it and nursed it. I never spoke to him about
, providing for the child. '-Upon my,otith the defendant is
father of that aim.'
~..,,
t.,
Cross-examined by Mr. ITA.TcHstra was •in the house
or cottage in Blade-street that I Was delivered of the chiltl,
It will be three years old next June.•- I had left sche4l at
the time I went to the house off Sackville-street. I amlcer- ,
taro of it. .- It was- not found out that'l was with child for a
long time ;snot for four or',fivemonths. I then told mylmci-
then' Upon my oath the defendant never asked me who', was
the father of-this child. I did not say that' it was a yqung
gentleman in Harcourt-street, and that Lives sworn not to
tell. I told my mother Mr: Arabin was the father. She,was
very angry with me, and treated me very badly after Itold
her. She has the child, and, is very fond of it. The child
was . christened in Westlandroar, in my presence, in the
chapel,- Jeinima Arabin. • My' mother was present. The
christening took place in about' a month or so after it was
born. Mr. .Arabin gave me I/. to get the child baptiSed.
After I left Glasnevin I went to live with my mother.' I
first saw Mr. Walsh, the plaintiff's attorney, since last Christ-
mas; my mother went to him. ' I bid her•go because I saw
his' picture in the Mansion-house.—(Great laughter.) A
woman told me that it was his picture, and that he was a
good man. My mother wanted to have Mr:Fitzgerald. Mr
Walsh told me that my dada, disliked him, and I heard after
wards from Mr. Dunne that he had been suspended by him,
and not allowed to practice in the court. Mr. Walsh his
. .
'given money to my mother within the last month; a little.
He gave me money also, but it was , all far my mother. I
got my share of it to be sures—(Laughter.) I did not get a
letter from England upon my, oath a few days. after I went to
Glastievin, from a person named Thompson ; but Igot a letter
every week from my father, with I/. in it.
Where are those letters? Witness-L-I don't know what
I'did with them. I did not give them to Mr. Walsh.' I
never gave him any letters, ,to my., knowledge, but my
mother
,did. I was present when she gave him some letters.
She gave therrito him in her own cottage. I don't know
how many she gave hire, but she gave him a bundle. Mr.
:Wal§h was often at the cottage—constantly for the last two
-Months; and I was at liis residence in Harcourt-street. I
n •evet Went to his hoese with My. mother ; and I seldom
went at all; for he calledosi'ue almest every day. . .
;a. Ite-examined by Mr. Icieriratoilis—Mr. Walsh has given
`us le 17s. and some MoneY'ausce. I can't say how much he
has given. us: I left my mother's la,Ouse because she treated
me badly:. 'I told my 'dada so. My mother used to upbraid
me about lam. My father told- mg, to go by some other
name besides Arabin, and my mother_ bid me call myself-
Thompson. I said my father used to write to me—(letter
produced)—that is one of his letters to me.
Elizabeth Arabin, a girl about 12 years old, was then put
on the table, and having answered several questions to his
Lordship to show that she was acquainted with the nature' of
an oath,,Wise examined by Mr. -.Co.trEs as follows :—I anta
dalighteibef Mr. Arabin, and sister of
,j'he last witness ; the
plaintiff is my mother. -I often saw_ Mr.. Arabia in My
mother's house in .Bride-street,; I lave gone to him for
ininiey for iris mother, and. got it ; he paid for my schooling.
- The landlord, of the house in Ilridepstreet ,alluded to in the
principal witness's testiinony,Was next called; but ,as it ap-
peared that lie was in Court all clay, although an order was
made to exclude Witnesses on both sides, Ur. Dwyer declined
to examine him., ,„„
John Smith, .examined by gi: bsvyasureli know William
Murphy. Was the proprietor of No. 12, New Bride-street,
and is .so, I think since September, 1841. He built the cot-
tage in which the plaintiff resided, and it became occupied ey
her iaSeptember 1842, arid her two daughters, Mary Anus
and tlizabeth:Ar'ebin, The inmates of that cottage were all,
1 believe, well conducted. I never heard anything against
them. Mr. Arabi!), the late Lord May, r, paid the rant. He
paid it to me last yetir in the Mansion-house. I gave him
seceipts for thesent fur Mr. Murphyeand put the plaintiff's
name in them as paying it. '
The letters read by plaintiff's Conned' in opening the
_case
were then given in. . ,
The plaiutiirscase then .elosed,,and •
Mr. HaTcliata4-:Q.C.,, proceeded 'to address the jury for
the defence, He .stigatatise,d.the entire Case as afoul and
malicious censpiracy, got up by a party 'behind' the screen, to
wreak upon, the defendant v.engeancet for something. he bad
done towards hint, or,supposed he had done; in fact, he said
he was prepared •to show that the plaintiff was nothing
more than ski tool in the hands of others. The defendant,
however,, might safely rely upon the , case for the prosecu7
;ion; and call upow a jury for a verdict ; but he would not be
satisfied withoati,showing his .perfect innocence of the
Cflille imputed to-him, for ha wes enabled, under Proiidence,
to, remove allimputatiansfrom. his character that he ever was
the ,debaucher of-his.. own .ahilth .The case, if true, would
'have beenstried ;before a Dublin jury, but it • was not ; and
why not ?. Because all the parties-were .well known there.
Ttie defendant, who tilled the office of Lord Mayor last year,
-was no. doubt well known there and respected by-all; and he
( Mr. Hatchell).:should: inform the Court that there - wei e
other parties in the case deeply mixed up- in the transaction,
who also were .well kncavh ire the metropolis, and perhap
better known. than trusted. That-was one reason for leavin
the city; awl very probably, the additional costs that woul
be thus incurred were expected to assist' in a compromise of
a suit which there was no foundation' for, for it Was a well
known fact that such caoseestich conspiracies—were often the
means ofextorting money from innocent parties!, who, in many
instances, would,t from fear, pay any an:vaunt of money rather
than that such a can, although false, should come before a
jury.: Mr. Arabin would uot, hostrever, be imposed on, and
therefore he boldly defied the coriepiracys He did not, and
• could not deny, thatwhen-aayoung man -he had formed 4
connexion with the.plaintiff, lived with-hen-and had some
children by her, amongst whom was Mary Anne Arabin ; but
he repudiated the atrocious allegation that he wits her seducer;
and that was• clear from the evidence, 'documentary and
otherwise. • The true state of the case was this—it was a
conspiracy got up by some ,underhand party, • who urged
on the plaintiff to make this charge for the purpose of
extortion, and she 'was easily worked upon from jealousy ;
for Mr. Arabin, from 'her -.conduct, was obliged to dis-
continue all-intercourse with. her. She ',mane a per
.oon of the most abet-a:oiled character, being constantly!

alleged seductil7
letters thro:tening Mr. Arabin she never once alluded to the
a of her daughter, which it was most probable
she would have s
p,zican of if true. These were the principal
considerations in the a...7e

be necessary to consider i! there were not inaccuracies al-

attempt to deny his parentage of her.
The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff-1,000/ damages,
and fid. costs.
_ . .

The result of this case' seemed to hive' eurprised almost
every one in court.
It is the intention of the defendant to move, at the ensuing
term, for a new trial.

The jury found the priioner Guilty of Manslaughtre, and
he"was sentenced to be transported for twenty years.

Was a farmer, and on the evening of the 31st December he
was returning home from market in his cart, when he was
attacked by five men, some.of whom jumped into the chaise,
and held him while the others rifled his pockets, and robbed
him of the amount mentioned. The prisoner Hummerstone
pleaded guilty. The only evidence against the other pri-
soner was an extraordinary conversation that took place
between him and Hummerstone, while they were locked up
in separate cells, but within hearing of each other. The con-
versation referred to was proved by Barnes, an inspector of
the Herts constabulary, and was to the lowing effect:
Humerstone began the conversation by' calling out for
"Bucky," and asking where they "pinched" (took) him, and
he replied, "At Cambridge." Hummerstone then said he
was quite sure they would pinch him, for they were all seen
on the road together. " Bucky" then asked Hum-
merstone what he meant, to " patter" (his defence),
and he replied that he should say that he went to a public
house where the " sploder' (witness) was, and had two pots
of beer, and that he overtook the other men by accident on
the road. The prisoner Hummerstone then told the other
prisoner that while he was in the cage he heard' a respectable
man say " that the' bloke' (prosecutor) eoutcl not and would
not rap to any of-theni, and that he had better have the
fourteen quid than have to pay 50/. or 601., which it would
cost to get them lagged." He added, "If Cheeky is taken,
it will be the worse for me." Bucky replied, " non-
sense, keep to ass story; if I had not done so I should have
been ' ochared' (transported) long ago." Hummerstone then
said, "If I get my liberty again, you will not catch me in a
chuck' (highway robbery) with any of the home ones,'
(country thieves) again." Bucky then said, " I ain't
afraid of my Poll's cracking, for she does not know
, anything, only what you told her on the road,
and I told her not to know any of you." Hum-
merstone replied to this, " I should be glad
to take seven shekel' (years) for this and glad of the
chance." Bucky said, " You begin to duck, but you will be
square enough. I don't think any of you will be stuck to."
He then asked whether they did'nt have a split? Hummer-
stone said, " Yes, Blood and Cheeky collared the prad
(horse), and I jumped up behind the chaise, and got hold of
the 6 bloke's' collar, but the drag shook about so, that I
lost my hold." Bucky then asked what time they got
home, and Hnmmerstone replied, " About twelve o'clock,
and Blood and Nutty went away with the rowdy,' and I was
a fool for not Sticking to the swag" (booty).
Mr. Baron ALDERSON, there being no other material evi-
dence, said there was no doubt that the prisoner Wade was
perfectly well aware of all the circumstances of the robbery,
but the evidence was not sufficient to make out the specific
charge in the indictment.
Wade was consequently acquitted, and the other prisoner
was sentenced to be transported for life.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.
•
(Before Mr. Baron PARKF and Mr. Justice HAULM)
THE DRURY-LANE MURDER.

Thomas William Wicks,. aged 20, was placed at the bar,
charged with the wilful murder of James Bestock.

Bodkin,,,with Mr. Baldwin, attended to prosecute; and
Mr. Ballautiney with Mr. Crouch, were engaged for the pri-
soner..

Mr. BODKIN having stated the case, called
Samuel Parsons, who lived at No, 4, Pitt-place. Last saw
the deceased alive on Monday morning, the 10th February.
The deceased lived in the same house with him, and on that
morning, as he was rising, he heard a voice " Mas-
ter," which was a very usual occurrence, as Bostock's ap-
prentices were in the habit of doing so when they wanted
admittance. Soon after he heard a shot, and coming down
stairs as soon as possible, he obtained assistance and a light,
and Mrs. Bostock, who was then coming down stairs with a
lighted candle, and himself, discovered the body. It was
lying directly in the passage of his own shop. He was not
then dead. One half of his head, and his shoulder and left
side, was in a pool of blood. Witness called a policeman, and
the weunded man was taken to the hospital, Witness spoke
to him two or three times, but Bostock could return no
answer. Lie knew of no quarrel between the prisoner and
deceased.

' FrederiCk Walter, living at the corner of Princes-street,
Drury-lane, examined—He was in a public-house on the
morning of the 16th of February, when he saw the prisoner
come in' for • a pennyworth cf gin. Witness asked him if
" Jern," meaning his master, Bostock, was yet up. He said,
" No," he would notrise till seven or eight o'clock. The pri-
soner,then drank his gin and left.
Martha Haslitt— Knew the prisoner. Met him at the
corner of Chiswell-street, Finsbury-square ; she asked him if
he wasgoing to work, and he said no. She asked him the
reason, and be said merely because he was not going. She
told him she was going, and was in a hurry. He asked her
to have something to drink, but at first she refused; he was
then sober, but flurried and pale. There was nothing
very peculiar, however, about him. She saw him
before that time on Thursday fortnight. She
never had anything to say to him about his
master. When leaving him at the corner of Primrose-street,
Shoreditch, he asked her what time she would leave off
work. She told him at eight ; 'and he said, perhaps I may
come and meet you • and he then bade her good-bye. On
that day week (Monday, the 23d) she promised to take
a half-holiday to go to the play. She said she would stop
work earlier to go with him, but he only peured out some
gin and made her no answer.

BIRTHS.
