against Viscount Ranelagh and Mr.Ronane was preferred
'leder the circumstances therein detailed, and that the
charge ended in the dismissal of the complaint, owing '
to the conflicting evidence adduced on the occasion. Ills
Lordship and the other defendant, however, from a
strong feeling that the police-sergeant Carpenter had
exceeded his duty, and that he and his friend had been
most grossly assaulted by police-sergeant Price belong-
ing to the South-Eastern Railway Company,. and
William Widdowa, one of the porters, declared their in-
tention of complaining to the Police Commissioners of
the conduct of Carpenter. Mr. Mallabea, the superin-
tendent of the R division of police, having taken upon
himself to bring the matter before the Court, so far as
Carpenter was concerned, it was arranged
.that all the
parties, with their witnesses, should attend this day, the
police-sergeant himself courting the most rigorous ex-
amination into his conduct, and stoutly insisting on the
truth of his evidence.
The court was densely crowded. Mr. Ballantine ap-
peared on behalf of Lord Ranelagh and his friend, who
together with Colonel MAD9ual and Captain Jennings
(both we believe of the 2d Life Guards), and Lord A. S.
Churchill were present on the bench.
Mr. Church, solicitor, of the Old Jewry, attended on
behalf of the South-Eastern Railway Compan, and
Mr. Superinten. dent Mallalieu, on behalf of the Commis-
sioners of Police. Police-sergeant Carpenter was also
in attendance with his witnesses.
The time mentioned having arrived, and Mr. Secker
not having made his appearance,
Mr. Ballantine addressed Mr. Traill to the effect that
he appeared on behalf of Lord Ranelagh, who he said
had been much pained at seeing the extremely inaccu-
rate report in the papers of the proceedings un Monday,
so far as himself was concerned. Lord Ranelagh felt
himself greatly aggrieved, and as a matter of public
duty alone, he now came forward and asked for sum-
monses against the railway police-sergeant Price and the
porter Widdows, for aggravated assaults as well as the
commission of gross perjury, and against Police-Ser-
geant Carpenter for great misconduct in the discharge
of his duty. Re would, therefore, ask for an adjournment
of the case until Saturday, though he bad no doubt that
the case would last more than one day, when he (Mr.
Ballantine) should be ready to prove his case by an
overwhelming amount of the most respectable evidence.
Mr. Church here rose, and said that he was in-
structed by the South-Eastern Railway Company to
apply for cross summonses against Lord Ranelagh and
Mr. Ronane.
Mr. Maim. here explained to Mr. Ballantine what
rely had occurred on Monday.
Mr. Mallalieu hoped that the case would be at once
gone into, as it affected his officer. He had simply done
his duty in producing him to answer the same, and he
was ready to do so.
Mr. TRAILL then said, that he thought it would be
better not to say more at present, and, after adding
his reasons for placing the matter for adjudication in
other hands than his own, after his decision on the
former case,
Mr. Church again rose,
and on the part of the South-
E ,stern Railway Company, said, that the directors were
anxious that the nee,ter should receive the fullest inves-
tigation. It was their duty to protect their officers in the
faithful discharge of their required services, and they
would not shrink from it; at the same time, hot at all
wishing to screen them on failing to do O. If, however,
on the contrary, it
should be proved that the noble
defendant and his friends, in the cases mentioned, had
transgressed the rules laid down by the company for the
public safety, they must pay the penalty incurred; and
that they had dose eo he bad abundant evidence to
bring forward, However, as he said before, the com-
pany courted the fullest inquiry into the atter, and
he therefore RON applied for summonses against Lord
Ranelagh and Mr. Ronane fur a violation of the 16th
section of the Act of Parliament, by obstructing their
officers in the execution of their duty. The 'summonses
and croea-summonses, after some further conversation
between Mr. Traill, Mr. Ballantine, and Mr. Church,
were ordered to issue.

after another ineffectual attempt on the part of Mr.
Mallaiieu for the settlement of the charge against the
police-sergeant Carpenter, Lord Ranelagh loudly ex-
claiming " No, no," the parties then retired, it being
tniderstood that the cases Should be heard on Saturday,
Mr. Church's cross summonses to take the precedence.
M. Sr•cter here arrived, and was politely informed
by Mr. Trail! wha► ho had carved out for him.
WORSHIP-STREET. . .

Hoc USSING AND RossEhx.—Yesterday Catherine
Lynch, a woman of abandoned habits, was placed at the
bar before Mr. Arnold, charged with administering
some deleterious drug to Elizabeth Green, a girl four-
teen years of age, for the purpose of robbery.
The prosecutor, who presented a very sickly and de-
bilitated appearance, stated that she lived in Montague-
street, Whitechapel, and that about noon o❑ Saturday
last she was sent out by her mother to procure change
for a sovereign at a neighbouring public•house ; but,
finding that the landlady was unable to furnish her with
it, she was about to leave the place, when the prisoner,
who was standing with another woman in front of the
bar, familiarly claimed acquaintance with her, and
stated that she was intimate with her sister. The pri-
soner then pressed her to drink with her, and on her de-
clining to do so placed to her lips a glass she had in her
hand, and forced her to swallow the contents. Feeling
much frightened witness hastily went out, but was
followed by the prisoner, who caught hold of her, and,,
pulling her along by the dress, invited her to go with.
her, and assured her that she would not hurt her..
Atter going a short distance the prisoncrasked her what
she had in her hand ? and on her answering " nothing,"'
she told her she knave it was money, and th a
other woman who was with her told her sh e
knew, and that she might show it with perfect safety,
as she was a very good woman, whom she herself had
trusted with 51., triad that she had returned it next morn-
ing. On her still refusing to show the money the pri-
soner roughly wrenched open her hand, forced the sove-
reign away from her, and riapidly made off. She tried
to pursue her, but became partially stupified, and was
walking on ih the direction she had taken, bat suddenly
became totally senseless, and did not know what became
of her until she found herself at home under the care of
her mother.

The prosecntrix's mother, a decent-looking woman,
after confirming her daughter's evidence as to having
sent her out for change of a sovereign, stated that after
a Icing time had elapsed, she was brought home in the
arms of a man, surrounded by a large crowd of persons,
and in such strong convulsions that she instantly sent
for a surgeon, who expressed his conviction, upon exa-
mining her, that some powerful narcotic must have been
administered to her. She continued for some time after
in an alarming condition, and had not yet recovered from
the effects of the drug.
Police-constable Leicester, H 209, stated that -while
on duty in Wentworth-street, at one o'clock on Satur-
day, he saw the girl harrying along, apparently in great
trouble, and about an hour afterwards found her lying
in front of one of the houses in the same street, in strong
hysterics, and upon raising her up she commenced rav-
ing an extraordinary manner, and repeatedly .ex-
claimed to the people around her not to hurt her. Sup-
posing at the time that her condition might have been
produced by intoxication he allowed some persons in the
crowd to take her away, and saw no more of her.
ARNOLD intimated his opinion that the constable
had not exercised a sound discretion in allowing so
young a girl, whom he had found in that condition, to
be taken away without inquiry; and that it was his
manifest duty to have conveyed her to the station-house.
Sergeant Ball, Ei 21, proved the apprehension of the
prisoner that morning, and that upon apprising her of
the nature of the eharge she stoutly denied it, and de-
clared that she had been contined by illness to her house
for the last fortnight ; but upon being confronted with
the prosecutrix she acknowledged that she might have
met her on the day named ; and he had since ascertained
that she had been seen drinking with another woman in
the public-house referred to for the greater part of the
morning.
Mr. ARNOLD said that it was a most serious case, and
ordered the prisoner, who reserved her defence, to be
committed until that day week for the formal complebtion
of the evidence.
