ris, surgeon and accoucheur, Murray-street, New North-
road, London."

He looked at it, and acknowledged it as having ema-
nated from him, but added that be had left off all that
kind of work, and intended for the future to pursue a
different course. Witness then took him into cus-
tody. Witness here stated that he thought it proper
to remark, that on hearing of the child's death he
went to the authorities, and requested that an inquest
might be held, as he understood from Dr. Young that
the child had been improperly treated, but he had not
heard anything on the subject from them since, the
child being buried and no inquest having taken place.
Alderman CARTER thought there was a very serious
ground of complaint against the authorities for ne-
glecting such a request, and he hoped the police
would inquire into it.
Prisoner denied that he had represented himself as
Dr. Harris, but alleged that having attended all the
lectures at the Hunterian School of Medicine, he
visited Dr. Harris's patients from ten till six during
the day at that gentleman's request.
Thomas Osborne said that a few months ago the
prisoner took a house of him in Murray- street, and
gave his name, W. Jas. Milson, the late candidate for
the borough of St. Albans.—(Laughter.) Shortly
after he had been there the name of Dr. Harris was
painted on a lamp over the door. Witness never
tested the doctor's skill on himself.—(Laughter.)
About three weeks after the last quarter day prisoner
removed everything from the house except a few
medicine bottles in the shop and the lamp over the
door, and remained in the house by himself. Subse•
quent to this witness called upon him and insisted
upon going in. Prisoner, who came to the door half
dressed, showed him into the shop and locked him in,
and said that if he advanced an inch further he (pri-
soner) would knock him down. This was the first
operation, but witness did not allow the doctor to
perform it. He demanded his rent, and prisoner said
he had not a shilling in the world. Witness stayed
there some time, and at length prisoner putting him
at defiance seized his carpet-bag, and some of the
fixtures, &c., and bolted, leaving witness alone in pos-
session of the empty house. Prisoner afterwards re-
turned and threatened to send witness a writ for
maligning his character, and be subsequently received
a copy.
Mr. Vann here produced a copy of a writ of sum-
mons, and stated that it purported to be issued on be-
half of Mr. James Milson, the prisoner, by Mr.
Williams, attorney, of 28, Broad-street-buildings,
also the prisoner. The most unfortunate circumstance
for the prisoner being that the writ appeared to be
issued is the Court of Queen's Bench, and tested by
Sir John Jervis, who happened to be the judge of a
different court altogether.—(Great laughter.)
Prisoner said that was the mistake of the attorney.
Mr. Vann said there was not the Tightest doubt
of that.

Samuel Rusbworth Rodwell, a bookbinder, of New
North-road, said that seven weeks ago his daughter,
aged 18, was labouring under scarlet fever, and Mr.
Bellares attended her. Witness's wife suggested to
Mr. Bellares that some eminent physician should be
called in, and he accordingly introduced prisoner as
" Dr. Harris." Prisoner went up to witness's
daughter, and having examined her pulse, he ordered
her a mustard poultice on the back of her neck.—
(Roars of laughter.) He then consulted with Bel-
lares for some time in an under tone. Witness said
his daughter was only ill eight days, and recovered.
Mr. Bellares was desired to furnish his account, and
he sent a bill of 3/. 55., 2/. 4s. being for medicine, and
1/. Is, which he bad paid to Dr. Harris for his visit.

Alderman CARTER here observed that Mr. Bellares
ought to have been brought before him as well as the
prisoner, upon which hint Mr. Austin took an officer
with him and started in search of that individual.
Daniel James Young, a surgeon, in the East-road,
Islington, said he had an assistant of the name of
James Bellares, and that he gave him in custody in
September last, for stealing a book and the medicine
he sent to the child that had since died. The prose-
cution was ultimately abandoned because witness was
unable:to trace the connexion with the prisoner clear
enough. Prisoner called on witness on the 4th or
sth of September, and said he was Dr. Harris, .but
witness did not believe him. He then said he was a
son of Harris, the Commissioner of Insolvency, and
that he would assist Bellares through the difficulty
arising from the death of the child. Witness never
received any money from Bellares for attending the
child. Prisoner, on finding witness did not believe
he was Dr. Harris, referred him to the lamp over his
door to verify his statement, and then added that he
was also the seneschal of Lincoln.—(Great laughter.)
Witness then ordered prisoner away from his door.
In answer to a question from the prisoner, witness
said he did not challenge him to fight, the invitation
came the other way. Witness saw the child when
dead, and asked the mother to allow him to make a
post mortem examination, but she said she was
satisfied with Mr. Bellares' attendance, and refused.
The child was then buried, and witness believed that
prisoner must have signed the burial certificate, as
Bellares was not qualified, being only an assistant,
and known as such.

Alderman CARTER said this was an important do-
cument and it should be in evidence; for if it was
found prisoner had given a false certificate, it would
entail most serious consequences upon him.
Mr. Vann then asked for a remand, and asked if
he might be allowed to break the seals of the letters
containing the half bank notes.
Alderman CARTER said the officer into whose
hands they first came might do that, but he could
make no order about it. This was such a flagrant
case, that he felt interested in having it thoroughly
investigated, and if Bellares should be taken in the
interim of the remand, he would have him put by the
side of the prisoner. _ _

The prisoner's application to be admitted to bail
was peremptorily refused, and he was removed to the
Compter.—Remanded till Monday next.

LAMBETH.

It will be recollected that on Wednesday last a
young man named Abraham Swarton, in the employ-
ment of Mr. Robson, wholesale confectioner, in Great
Dover-street, Borough, was placed at the bar before
Mr. Elliott, on a charge, or rather on suspicion, of
baying administered some narcotic drug to a young
woman named Harriett Davis, with a felonious inten-
tion, and, while in a state of stupor, taking her to
sleep with him.

From the testimony then given by the complainant
it appeared that she, as well as the prisoner, was in
the employment of Mr. Robson ; that, at the request
of the prisoner, she had met him on the Sunday
evening before ; that she bad been to his lodgings
and to three public-houses with him ; and that on
leaving the last she became bereft of her reason, and
had no recollection whatever of what happened to her
from that time until the following morning, when she
found herself in bed with him at a coffee-shop, with
one arm round her neck and the other arm over her
chest. Finding the extraordinary position in which
she was placed, she made an effort to get out of bed,
but the prisoner prevented her for some mo-
ments, and requested her to lie still ; but she strug-
gled, got out of bed, made the best of her way home,
and informed her father and sister of what had hap-
pened, saying, at the same time, that she must have
been drugged, else she could not have been rendered
so prostrate and unconscious of what was passing
around her. The defence set up by the prisoner on
that occasion was, that the young woman had got so
drunk as not to be able to tell him where she lived,
and, not knowing where to take or what to do with her,
he hadtaken a bed at the coffee-house for her, and being
very drunk himself he determined on stopping with
her. He denied having used any violence whatever
towards the young woman ; and this assertion appeared
borne oat by the certificate of the medical gentleman.
Mr. Elliott, in the absence of any evidence to prove
the charge of drugging or violation, dealt with the
case as one of aggravated assault against the prisoner,
and convicted him in the penalty of 51., or in default
to one month's imprisonment. Since the conviction
of the accused, Mr. Robson, his master, has made
some communication to Mr. Elliott, which induced
that magistrate to consent -to hear witnesses for the
defence, and yesterday being appointed, the witnesses
were in attendance.
As soon as the night charges were disposed of the
case was called on, when Mr. Robson, addressing the
magistrate, said that the young man Swarton had
been in his service for some considerable time, and his
conduct at all times had been so unexceptionable that
he was very much surprised at the charge which had
been made against him. Since his conviction, how-
ever, circumstances had come to his (Mr. Robson's)
knowledge, which perfectly satisfied him, and he had
no doubt on their disclosure would satisfy his worship
also, that the young man was the seduced and not the
seducer.
Mary Ann Mailer deposed that she was in the
service of Mr. Robson. On Saturday week she
heard the young woman Davis, who was in the same
employment with her, say that she had succeeded in
making an appointment with " Abraham," and that
she had it nearly all to do herself. When asked what
she conceived the young woman meant by the latter
expressions, the witness replied she thought Davis had
some difficulty in persuading Swarton to meet her.
The young woman Davis, who had been sent for
by the magistrate before the csse was entered on, here
commenced a moaning noise, and made a great effort
to provoke a faint, but could not succeed, and was
told by the magistrate that there was not the slightest
use in her going on so. The magistrate's remark had
an instantaneous effect ; the fainting fit was cured as
if by magic ; and for the remainder of the inquiry
Miss Davis assumed a positively brazen appearance
and manner.

William warton, the brother of the accused, said
he heard the young woman ask his brother both on
Friday and Saturday week to meet her on the Sunday
evening, though she well knew him to be a married
man. On the Sunday evening he saw Davis at his
brother's lodgings, and she took tea there with his
brother, who was very tipsy et the time., , When they
