CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—(This Day.)

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Williams.)
THE CASE OF THE REV. MR. HATCH.

The grand jury having yesterday found a true bill against
Eugenia Plummer, who was the principal witness against
the Rev. Mr. Hatch, who was convicted of an indecent as-
sault upon her, the particulars of which have so repeatedly
been before the
Mr. Cooper this morning applied to the Court to fix the
amount of bail, as he was desirous, on the part of the child
and her parents, who were most anxious to meet the charge,
that instead of a summary or a bench warrant issuing,
her father, who was in attendance, and now prepared to put
in any amount which the Court should think fit, might be
allowed to do so immediately.
Mr. Justice Williams said the application was no doubt
a reasonable one, but it was premature, and he could make
no order until some gentleman appeared on the part of the
prosecution.

We are also able to give a list of the petitions from the
large towns—a list which shows how thoroughly the friends
of religious liberty have been aroused to action by the
challenge of the archdeacons. Amongst the petitions from
inhabitants are :

City of London 2,845 Marylebone
Lambeth .. .
Finsbury ..
Kingsland, Totten-
ham, &c 1,104
Signatures. Signatures.
Manchester . 17,790 Durham 867

Since the last report of the Petition Committee,-there
have been presented 313 petitions for, and 140 against
abolition. These have to be added to the above, when the
figures will be as follows :
Petitions. Signatures.
For abolition 5,274 with say 580,140
Against abolition 5,317 „ 186,085

Total Metropolis ....14,289

Thus in little more than five weeks, the opponents of
church rates have obtained nearly an equal number of
petitions, with more than three times the number of signa-
tures, than all the archdeacons and rural deans have been
able to secure, with all the advantages of their eccle-
siastical prestige and organisation, in more than as many
months.
