Lint, who forced
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 was still in bed, shortly after rang the
bell for her, and questioned her about a noise she had
heerd in her room the night before, upon which she
told her about the defendant's intrusion, and that a
struggle had taken place between them, in which she
endeavoured to escape, but he prevented her 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 whicif abe
had been subjected, and a communication having
been made to the police, the defendant was taken
into custody.
The presecutrix was sal jetted to a severe cross-ex-
amination, but without materially varying her previ-
ous testimony, and in the course of it she related
numerous liberties the defendant had on different
occasions attempted to take with her, but all of which
she more or less resented, and on one occasion, during
the absence of the family, she screamed so loudly that
the defendant entreated her to desist, she would
eig,
scream the house down."
Mr. Rowland Pottle, surgeon, of Bath-stre City.
road, whose main evidence was wholly unfit fidr pub_
licrtion, deposed to the condition of the prosecuteix
when brought to his house for examination, and 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 unusual 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 fer 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-
nizances in 1001., and two sureties in 50/. each.
