CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice TALFOURD.)
RAPE.—John M•Laren, aged 48, described as a shoe-
Maker, was indicted tor committing a rape on Rosins
Jane M'Laren, his own daughter. The prisoner pleaded
not guilty.
Mr. Ryland prosecuted, and Mr. Ballantine defended
the prisoner.
The details of the case were unfit for publication, but
the medical testimony failed to support that of the girl,
and the jury acquitted the prisoner.

NEW COURT.
(Before the RECORDER.)
BURGLARY.—Joshua Smith, aged 21, described as a
hawker, was indicted for feloniously breaking and enter-
ing the warehouse of Josiah Lowe, and stealing there-
from six coats value 31, and other goods, also divers
moneys, amounting in the whole to 101., his property. The
prisoner pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Cooper prosecuted, and Mr. Huddlestone de-
fended the prisoner.
It appeared from the evidence of a girl named Harriet
Ball, with whom the prisoner had cohabited, that one
. .

morning in the beginning of April the prisoner forced
her to get up between four and five and
E 2 with him to a place in Whitechapel.
. When they reached the spot the prisoner desired her
to stand at the top of a court, while he went down and
fetched some things. She accordingly did so, but she
kept her eye upon the prisoner until she saw him get
over a. high wall. He was absent for about ten minutes,
and when he returned he brought with him a bundle of
coats and three pair of trowsers. They then returned
home, and in the course of the day all the property was
disposed of with the exception of a pair of trowsers,wbich
the prisoner had altered to fit himself. These trowsers
she subsequently pawned, and when the prisoner turned
her out of doors she gave information of the robbery to
the police, and gave them the address of the pawn-
broker where she pledged the browsers.
The witness in her cross-examination denied that the
prisoner turned her out of doors because she had been
false to him, but it was because he wanted to get mar•
tied to somebody else. She had bHen on the streets,
and the prisoner had participated in the proceeds of her
prostitution. On one occasion she robbed a sailor and
was imprisoned six months for it. On another she be•
Came so disgusted with her mode of life, that she took to
Shoplifting, and for one offence of this nature she had
suffered three months' imprisonment. She had been
fiakd 10s. for breaking a woman's head while in a state
of intoxication, and had been repeatedly accused, but
sever convicted of other robberies. Several of the pri-
soner's companions as well as her own had been trans.
Ported, and the prisoner, who was tried with one of
them, was sentenced to six months' imprisonment.
The other evidence went to show that the prisoner be-
longed to a notorious gang of cracksmen, and when his
lodgings were searched a large quantity of housebreak-
ing implements were found concealed there. None of the
property but the pair of trowsers pledged by the girl bad
been traced, but a knife which the prisoner left behind
him when he committed the burglary was produced and
identified as having been in the prisoner's possession.
Mr. HUDDLESTONE addrtssed the jury for the defence,
Contending that the evidence of the girl was unworthy
of belief, and therefore the prisoner ought to be ac-
quitted.
The Learned RECORDER summed up.
The jury had not returned a vtrdict when wo went to
press.
