OLD BAILEY, JAN. 3,

Michael Grady, an Irishman, aged 36, was it'
dieted for a rape upon Elizabeth Green, a young
girl, 15 years of age, in the parish of St. Giles-in'
the-Fields, on the 29th of October last.

The prosecutrix was living as a servant to the
prisoner, a salesman, at Covent-garden-marker,
and lived in King-street, St. Giles's. She had been
about three weeks in his service. He was a mar'
tied man, but his wife did not live with him. He
kept another woman, and had two children. The
prisoner occupied but one room at the top of the
house, in which there were two beds, and they all
slept there together. The prosecutrix has an uncle
named Hayley, living in Sutton-street, Soho, wh°
was also a salesman in Covent-garden-market. Oe
the day mentioned in the indictment the prisoner
came home about four o'clock in the afternoon, and
lay down about an hour.—(At the request of Mr'
Phillips, the prisoner's Counsel, the witnesses an
both sides were ordered out of Court.)—Prosece'
trix was minding the children and mending her
apron ; her mistress was at market, and had beef;
out all day. The prisoner undressed himself while
she was in the room, in which she and the,
children remained until he awoke, when he told
her to put them outside the room, as they made
a great noise. She refused, and said her tnie:
tress would be angry, as the children might foil
down stairs, but he insisted on it, and she
put them out of the room. She then sat downy
and continued mending her apron ; he called her to
him, and asked if she was a good girl ? She an'
swered " Yes." He then said " There is a place
for you," and took hold her by the shoulders and
forced her into the bed. (The prosecutrix here de" '
tailed the particulars of the offence, during which
she stated that she cried out and struggled against
the prisoner.) She afterwards went down stairs'
and the prisoner called her and came half-way down
after her, but she would not stop. She went t°
her aunt, whom she saw in Covent-garden-market
and on the next day she was examined at Boo'
street, and by a surgeon.
After evidence had been adduced, the prisoner
put in a written defence, in which he said thol
what had happened was without any reluctance on
the part of the girl.
A witness gave the prisoner a good character Or
morality.

Mr. Justice GASELEE summed up at great length'
hut before his Lordship had finished,
The Jury intimated that their minds were mftd°
up, and acquitted the prisoner of the capital charge'
The prisoner was ordered to be detained for the
misdemeanour. The trial occupied the Court five
hours.

TWILIGHTS OF INDIA.—We wish to direct
the attention of rneteoro'ogists to the increasing twilights 91
India, which are now as distinct as in Europe, and increi
in; in length. In hot climates, where the sun dips suddcz.lP
twilights are thus necessarily excluded. They have been
for souse time becoming more and more distinct ; a proo',
of that change in climate which is now observed to pre'
vail all over the world.—Scott's India Gazette.
