*uip,cto I that

Mr. TYRwairr remarked that it was a very extra-
ordinary proceeding; it was rather strange that the lady
present did not cause an alarm, so that the persons
might have been pursued. He should have thought
that two h, arty, stout-looking persons like the appli-
cants, on hearing of the cmcomitsoceq, would hive acted
with more prompittud• , and sent ciffiv.-)at,c-s in all
ni4 to ovrrlak, and stop the cabri,l.-t.

Applicant—i3ut, Sir, is va, =h* Nock ~f nrw t,
and th.• tahriolet Alas out of sight instat:ter. The old
lady wac quite i,fi,o2.
Mr. I:YRWHITT inquired what their obj Pet was in
applying to him on the subject? Applicdut—To re-
quest p.ur advice and assistance under the peculiar cir-
cumstances of the affgir. Could we not bring her before
your Worship. If w. find her.

Mr. TYRWHITT—You can apply f r a habeas corpus.
There is a jud4e sitting at Sereant's-inn. You can
apply to him. and if the old lady was t,lcen away against
her will, and she is willing to return to you, you can
take her.

Applicant—lf they have taken her to Dover, in order
to send her to the Continent, will they stop and detain
her if I send a telegraphic communication?

Mr. TYRWEITT-2-Certaioly, you can do that ; give
a description of tier person, and state all the circum-
stances under which she was taken away, and they will
stop her.

Applicant said he would immediately adopt that course,
apply to a judge for a habeas corpus, and inquire at the
lusiatic asylums. The old lady, he ad led, was quite
willing, indeed anxious, to get married to the gentlema❑
she had chosen as a p inner for life, and the sudden ap-
pearance of her daughter in London was quite unex-
pected, and they were certain that she was taken off
without her consent.

Mr. TYRWHITT said he could render them no as,
sistance.

Applicant—lf we find her, shall we not be justified in
giving her into the custody of a policeman?
Mr. TYRWHITT left them to exercise their judgment
and discretion 4 n that head, when they thanked the
Bench tor the patient attention affurd,d them, and lett
the court.

ALLEGED CASE CF MYSTERIOUS ABDUCTION AND
VIOLATION.—This being the day appoin ed for the ro-
be tring ot the charge ot abduction and vi elation pre-
ferred against a young man, William Day, late barman
to Mr. Dean, 100, Curtain-road, brioreditch, the court
was crowded to excess owing to the strange and myste-
rious facts which wwre elicited on the previous inquiry.
Ann Harriet Newman, the young wom in who has so
nearly fslien a victim to the gross and tad,d appetites ot
old debauche-!e, is daughter to a rope-maker residing at
8, Manning-street, Limetn,use. She has hitherto borne
a most excelleutcharscter as a hard working, industrious
young woman. remarkable for her strict integrity, and
her close application to a business as a sempstress.
Though still eufeebied fr.im toe drugs and rough treat-
ment to which she had been aubj cted, the se3ount
which she gave of this tn.trartous transaction on the ea-
_

cone incinirY wa• more clear an i collected than her firtt
confused statement. By what transp.rid from her
lengthened examination it would appear that she hsd
been taken ►o some house at the west t•nd. The room
in which she found herself when awskeniniz trim the
trance into which she was thrown by the drug applied
to her fsce in the cab was a spacious back parlour.
The young woman who informud her that she was

in a bruthel, acid who furnished hi.r with a knit'.

to defend h,rs-IP, was tall an.i g.od-lookinw, dresbe.,
is black silk, with white cuff-3, and wore a

watch end chain. On giving her the knife, and telling
her to defend herself, she also informed her that the per-
son who brought her to the place in the cab had 3/. for
doing so. Witness was of opinion she should know
this young woman again, and els° the oil woman who
compelled her to drink the liquet, which had a spirituous
taste. The la ter, who was about seventy year. of sg. ,
was dr.-seed in a rich fa en caloursd satin, and wore a
very fls.hy cap. It was after she Was compelled to drink
the liquid that the three gentlemen cease int., the room.
On seeing them the witness, though very weak, got up
rem the sofa on which she had been ly lug, when the
old woman told her she must make up her mind to stay
all night, and she should have all she wished fur, to
which witness reple d that she did not want anything,
and brandishing the knife cried out, " I must go away,
and Ido not care where or whom I strike." Sbe then
made her way to the hall, which was well lighted with
a large lamp, but was pursued by the gentlemen and was
secured after wounding one of them in the hand. They
succeeded in getting her back to th- room, and the one
she had wounded threatened to have her bands tied
with a cord, and thrust her into the cellar, but she
still resisted. Two of the gentlemen were ad-
vanced in years, and the third was about
thirty. One of them then tried to force her up
stairs to a bedroom, saying she must pass the night
with him, but she s'aeamea so loudly that they b,gan
to be alarmed, and forced her back to the parlour, where
they tried what bribery would do, and a haadsosee
watch with e, gold chain was flung round her neck,
but she dashed it indignantly away, and flung four or
five glass tumblers at them, but without effoct, as they
stooped and thus avoided them. The prisoner, of
whose identity she was quite positive, was then called
up to fetch a cab, which he did. As they proceeded
through the hall the prisoner told her that if
she would but be quiet she should be taken to her
father's ; and as they went along, not knowing the place,
she supposed he was conducting her home. When they
arrived at a dark street (Little Sutton-street, Clerken-
well) he told her to get out, and after walking three
or four yards with her put a paper in her hand,
which was subsequently found to contain her address,
and left her. She staggered on a little further, when,
weary and stupefied, she sat upon the step where the
constable (Hillier) found her. The kerchief put to her
face produced an unpleasant. suffocating sensation, coupled
with a ringing noise in the ears and a dimness of vision
previously to producing insensibility.
Mrs. Eliza Andrews, an experienced matron at the
hospital, to whom the prosecutrix was delivered over at
half-past two o'clock in the morning, proved that she
was almost insensible at the time. Every effort to
make her use her limbs proved abortive, and the mo-
ment she was laid on the bed she fell into a profound
sleep. When she awoke she complained of feeling very
sore, but there were no marks of violence on her per-
son, nor any indication whatever to show that she had
been violated ; an opinion in which Mr. Robertson
concurred.

James Roberts, the young man to whom the prosecu-
trix was 'Attuned, and whos- name had been us.d as the
means of abduction, was called to prove whether the
let:er making the appointment with the prosecutrix was
in the prisoner's handwriting; but ho was unable to say.
Mr. YARDLEY said it was a most extraordinary case,
and required the fullest investigation.
Mr. Lewis—We have offered rewards and distributed
bibs at the west end of the town. The girl's parents,
by whose directions we prosecute, are most anxious to
procure all possible testimony.
Mr. YARDLEY—With the exception of the direct ter
timony of the young woman, the evidence rests on the
prisoner's boasting of what occurred in a cab on that
night, and even that would seem subversive of the pur-
pose for which it would appear he had been employed.
It may be consistent with the tact that he was with a
young woman in a cab, but what followed would not be
consistent with the purpose for which he was supposed
to be employed. It was a most serious charge, and as it
is of the utmost importance that all the parties con-
nected with it should be brought to justice, I shall re-
quire
the prisoner to give two substantial sureties of 1001.
each to appear here en Thursday next.
After a few observations from the Rev. Mr. Talbot in
reference to the desire of th,, association which he repre-
dented to give effect to the prosecution of the cure, the
prisoner was locked up in default of bail until Thursday li
next, when the case will be, further investigated.
