ALLEGED EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OF THE Ray.
WILLIAM STUART O'BRIEN.--All extraordinary case of
alleged attempt upon a girl "seven years old was investi-
gated before the magistrates at Viorthing;upon a charge
preferred by the parent, Charles Cutuey, a labouring.
man, in the employ of C. Groom, Esq. Not having re-
ceived any notice of the proceedings, we were not in
attendance; and having been refused the perusal of the
depositions or magistrates' minutes, we are unable to
furnish the public with the full particulars. .We regret
this the More on the part of the defendant, as they doubt-
lesly contain facts which, we trust, would contradict
effectually the more serious allegations which are in cir-
culation in the town. The circumstances connected
with this • affair, as fur as we have been able to collect
them, are as follow:—Charles Cutney lives in a cottage
at the top of Woadwater•hill, on the road leading past
" Oberman Dean," the residence of Mrs. The aites. The
little girl was returning from her . grandmother's at
Sonapting, and her grandfather accompanied her to the
foot of the lane leading up the hill to her home, where
he left her: She had got.as far as nearly opposite to the
back door of Mrs. Thwaites's mansion, when she sat
down on a bank and took off her boot to remove a
gravel stone froth it. While doing so, it is alleged
that the defendant came up to her and committed an' as-
sault upon her .person; but it, perhaps, would have been
a mercy to the defendant had we sees the depositions
whereby the full extent of it might have been correctly
published. Iu the absence of these, however, we do not
feel ourselves justified in stating farther. Some men
.were ploughing in an adjoining field, sheltered from her
by a hedge; and hearing the cry of a child, one of them
made
.towai ds the spot. Trio defendant made off; but
the child's father was soon apprized of the Circum-
stance,. and,-aecoinpanied by the defendant, went direct
to the magistrate's clerk's office, where the investigation
took place before the magistrates named above. The
child was .examined by Mr. Gore,
.surgeon; and after
the facts had been ascertained, the bench fined the de-
fendant 41. and 163. cost::, being within 43. of the highest
penalty allowed. by law for a common assault.—Brighten
Guardian.
