household aties ; and, upon their/completion,
she went up also, and was much surprised
at finding the defendant standing, apparently waiting,
outside his door. She passed into her own room with-
out interruption, but upon attempting to close the
door she was prevented by the defendant, who forced
it open, and taking the key out of the lock, refused to
give it her unless she consented to kiss him. She
would not do so, and told him she would not go to
bed until she had got the key, upon which he caught
her round the waist, and flinging her violently upon
the bed, placed one of his hands over her mouth to
prevent her screaming, and pressed her waist in with
such force that she became totally powerless and
senseless. Upon partially recovering she found the
defendant standing by the side of the bed, but she
was in too debilitated a condition to speak, and upon
arousing from her sleep or drowsiness the next morn-
ing, she found that he was gone ; and it being then
daylight she descended to the kitchen in a shocking
state, and with her dress all torn down the back. Her
mistress, who

heard in
i
belltold for
re
about
that a
struggle had taken place between them, in which she
endeavoured to escape, but he prevented h 4 doing so.
She was then ordered to fetch the milk for breakfast,
but instead of returning to the house she went straight
to that of her grandmother, to whom she related the
particulars of the scandalous treatment to which she
of
fad on different it she related
had been subjected, and a communication having
been made to the police, the defendant was taken
into custody.
The presecutrix was subjected to a severe cross-ex-
amination, but without materially varying her previ-
ous
numteersotuims
liberties testimony,
and
in
the the
defendanturse
occasions attempted to take with her, but all of which
she more or less resented, and on one occasion, during
co
the absence of the family, she screamed so loudly that
the defendant entreated her to desist, " or she would
scream the house down."
Mr. Rowland Pottle, surgeon, of Bath-streets
road, whose main evidence was wholly unfit •b-
-licrtion, deposed to the condition of the pros.. I trix
when brought to his house f6r examination, end ex-
pressed an opinion that she had been subjected to
such violence, that if not inflicted with her own con-
sent, which he should think wholly improbable, she
must have been labouring under the influence of some
narcotic, or else in a state of perfect stupor. Such
violence had been used as to be wholly unusnul in
such cases, and he related certain particulars which
placed consent on the :part of the young woman
scarcely within possibility, and tended much to ag-
gravate the offence.
Elizabeth Combes, the young woman's grandmother,
the wife of a smith in St. Luke's, stated, that upon
the prosecutrix coming to her house at 9 o'clock on
the Sunday morning she told her the whole particu-
lars of the outrage without her questioning her, upon
which she went to the house of the defendant, whom
she reproached far his scandalous conduct to so young
a woman, but was received with great coolness, and
upon threatening him with the consequences, he told
her he did not care. The prosecutrix was crying and
in great agitation when she reached her house, and
was so ill that she lapsed into a kind of stupor, in
which she remained all day, and was obliged to be
kept in bed.
Mrs. Anne Samuels, the defendant's mother, was
examined to prove that the complainant had not, upon
being rung for by her, told her the whole particulars
she now disclosed, but her testimony did not affect
the young woman's credibility or controvert any of
the facts she deposed to.
Inspector Brennan produced articles of clothing
which also went materially to confirm the surgeon's
statement, and Mr. Wontner having pressed for the
defendant's being at once committed for trial,
Mr. Clarkson, who remarked with much severity
upon the prosecutrix's evidence, which he contended
was so improbable
as not to justify so serious a charge,
said that if the bench had made up its mind, as he
presumed would be the course adopted, to send the
case before another tribunal, he would not say that
it should not be followed, and
Mr. ARNOLD ordered the defendant to be brought
up again upon that day week for the completion of
the medical testimony, and in the meantime con-
sented to extend the bail for the defendant's future
appearance, which were the defendant's own recog-
nizsnces in 1001., and two sureties in 501. each.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-STREET.
A young man, named William Lambert, Who de-
scribed himself as a shoemaker, was brought before
Mr. Henry, charged with forging a signature to a
Post-office order for money, and obtaining it by false
representations.
It appeared from the evidence that an order for the
sum of 15s. bad been sent by Mr. Lucas, of Manches-
ter, to James Wear, a coach-plater, lodging at 30,
Charles-street, Drury-lane, who had formerly been in
the service of his brother, the object of the remittance
being, that he should appear respectable in his attire
in representing Mr. Lucas as his agent in connexion
with matters relating to the Exhibition in Hyde-
park. A letter of advice was also sent, stating that
the order was to be sent on a certain day. Wear re-
quested that his landlady would take it in and keep
it for him, which was overheard by the prisoner, who
also lodged in the same house. On returning home
in the afternoon he was told by the landlady that such
a letter had been received by her, and that it had been
handed over to the prisoner at his request. The cir-
cumstance was then mentioned at the receiving-house
to where the order was directed, in Broad-street,
Bloomsbury, and from the description given of the
prisoner it was ascertained that ha had committed the
fraud.
The young man who paid the money upon the
order proved that a tall man, who gave the name of
orderou b t

correctly described by the person applying for the
amount, but he could not say how be obtained such
Davis, applied for the money, which was refused, and
in the course of the day he came again with the pri-
soner, who represented that his name was James
Wear, and signed that name bo the printed form. The
themoney

The constable who took the prisoner into custody
proved having found the letter produced, relating to
the order, in the prisoner's possession, although the
name of the person transmitting it did not appear.
The prisoner was ordered to stand committed for
trial.

James Price, a clerk employed in the Legacy
Duty-office in Somerset-house, was finally examined
on a charge of breaking open a desk, and stealing
a 101. Bank of England note, the property of another
clerk.
The particulars of the case fully appeared on the pri-
soner's first examination, and after the depositions
were completed the prisoner was fully committed, bail
to any amount, which was offered for his appearance
at the trial, being refused.
CLERKEAV WELL.
Considerable interest was manifested in the neigh-
bourhood of this court in consequence of a report
that Mr. John Henry Eaton, the master of St. Pan-
cras Workhouse, was to be brought to this court by
the order of the directors of the poor of that parish,
to answer a charge of having violated Eliza Smith,
aged 16, one af the in-paupers of the above establish-
ment. _ _

Mr. COMBS, addressing Mr. Cooke, the vestry
clerk, inquired of that gentleman whether the case
was one of misdemeanour, which would subject Mr.
Eaton to indictment at the sessions ? Mr. Cooke
answered in the affirmative.
Mr. COMBS said then he was to take his place at
the bar, as no difference should be observed between
him and others similarly charged.
Mr. Eaton then proceeded into the dock in which
persons charged with felony are usually placed.
Eliza Smith, a weakly, but rather interesting-look-
ing girl, made the following statement, viz. :—My
name is Eliza Smith. lam 16 years of age. I lived
in St. Pancras Workhouse, as long as I can remem-
ber. I don't recollect the month when it took place ;
I believe it was about two months after Christmas.
On a Thursday, at 3 o'clock, I went with Mr. Eaton
to Hampstead. We walked a good way, and then
got into an omnibus. We went up to Mr. Elliott's
door at Hampstead. We didn't stay there long.
Then we went to my mistress's house at Hamp-
stead, where I had been in service, and saw my
mistress there. I stayed there about ten minutes.
Mr. Eaton then told me to go and stay at Mr.
Elliott's house. I stayed there until Mr. Eaton
came. It was for a long time. When he came it
was daylight. From Mr. Elliott's house I went with
Mr. Eaton in an omnibus. When it stopped Mr.
Eaton got out with me. Mr. Eaton asked me whe-
ther I had a sweetheart. This was when we were
walking along, before we got into the omnibus.
When he asked me if I had a sweetheart I said, " No,
sir." After getting out of the omnibus, on our re-
turn from Hampstead, Mr. Eaton took me through
different streets. I have no idea whereabout it was,
but it was not in St. Pancras. We went on until we
came to a house in a narrow street. There was no
shop to the house. The door was opened. Mr. Eaton
said nothing but went in first. I followed him. He
went upstairs first. I went up after him ; and he
went into a room, and a servant (a woman) came in
and put a light on the table ; and, as she was going
out of the room, she stopped and asked Mr. Eaton if I
had ever been there before. He said " Yes." There
was a bed in the room. When the woman left the
room she shut the door, and Mr. Eaton fastened it.
(She here detailed particulars quite unfit for publica-
tion.) We were upstairs together about an hour. I
said nothing to him in the room at all. I did not make
any noise. I did not cry. I came out with him, and on
going out two girls said, " I know what that man
has been doing, and we will have him taken into
custody for it." We didn't go far before we got into
a cab, when the two girls called out to the cabman,
" You only take them for the sake of the money.
Mr. Eaton said nothing when we got out of the cab.
He left me immediately. I don't know the name of
the street where I got out. He then told me to go
somewhere. When he left me I asked my way to
St. Pancras workhouse. When I got there they were
all in bed in my ward but the nurse. When I arrived
at the workhouse-gate Mr. Eaton was there. I did
not hear him say anything to the porter. He went in
at the same time with me. I had no supper on my
return to the workhouse, nor anything all the time I
was away. I went to service the next day to Mr.
Dykes. The first .i. said about it was to Susan
Savage. I was at Mr. Dykes' 12 days, when I re-
turned to the workhouse. I told Susan Savage a
week after I returned.
Mr. Mallett—Did Mr. Eaton ever speak to you or
take notice of you after your return to the work-
house ? Witness—He used to ask me how I was
when he came into the ward on a Sunday. I said,
" I was better." I had been ill before. I was taken
ill on the od of March. The day before I was taken
ill I told Susan Watson of what had happened.

under fever. On Tuesday week he made an exami-
nation by order of the directors of the poor, and he
found symptoms to show that an offence had been
committed. She was subject to e

Mr. COMBE said, as the directors had properly sent
the case here to be investigated, and to afford the de-
fendant the opportunity of defending himself by
counsel, as he (Mr. Combe) was about to remand the
case for further investigation, he would leave it en-
tirely to his own discretion whether he would cross.

WORSHIP-STREET.
Mr. Joseph Samuels, a person of very respectable
appearance, stated to be the son of a widow lady of
property residing in City-terrace, City-road, was
charged before Mr. Arnold with an assault of a very
aggravated character upon the person of a young
woman named Elizabeth Davey, about 16 years
of age.
Mr. Wontner conducted the prosecution, and Mr.
Clarkson, the barrister, instructed by Mr. Norton,
appeared for the defence.
