CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT--(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.

(Before Mr. Baron Channoll and Mr. Justice Keating.)

THE CASE OF THE REV. MR. HITCH.

The trial of Mary Eugenia Plummer, for perjury, was
resumed this morning (the 4th day), when
Mr. Thomas Plummer, the father of the defendant, said
—I reside in Wiltshire, and am possessed of considerable
property. lam a member of the Church of England. I
used to take my child, Eugenia, to church occasionally. I
recollect seeing an advertisement in the paper with respect
to Mr. Hatch receiving children to educate. I thought it
an advantageous school, and Mrs. Plummer and myself
arranged to send our child, Eugenia,there for education. We
went to Mr. Hatch's house at Wandsworth, and there, feeling
pleased with the appearance of the place, we left the child.
Mrs. Plummer never made a request that the child was to
be petted. Certainly she never requested that the child
might be taken into Mr. Hatch's bed. The witness then
gave evidence to precisely the same effect as that given by
Mrs. Plummer and the child with respect to the conduct
of Mr. Hatch as related by the children, both in the cab

and in the railway carriage, on their return to Wiltshire.
He then proceeded—l never, on the way to the railway
station, permitted the driver of the cab in which we were
riding to associate with us on terms of equality. I swear I
did not. I and Mrs. Plummer never drank porter with.
him. On our arrival home at night I left word for our
medical man to attend us the next morning, and also sent
for Mr. Pratt, our family solicitor. Mr. Gay, the surgeon,
arrived about noon, and the child Eugenia related the whole
of the circumstances to bim in the presence of my mother-
in-law. Mr. Pratt shortly afterwards arrived ; I told him
about the circumstance, and then Eugenia related to him
the same facts, in exactly the same terms, as also did the
younger child Stephanie. They did not differ in the
slightest particular. I don't recollect that the child made
any complaint of unkindness of Mr. and Mrs. Hatch. Mr.
Pratt, immediately after he had heard the facts, advised us
to institute proceedings. I went to London and saw Messrs.
Humphreys, solicitors, on the subject. A letter that was sent
to the bishop was wrttten by Mr. Pratt. After I had read

it over I signed it, and it was sent off. I afterwards re-
ceived a notice that an inquiry was directed, and I and the
children went to Wandsworth to attend, but on the morn-
ing of the inquiry I was informed there would be no
inquiry as Mr. Hatch had resigned his appointment. I
never made it a habit even in her early days to sleep in our
bed. I never knew them to surprise me whilst I was
dressing. I know they were not acquainted with children

had not correctly conveyed my meaning about certain
appearances on the person of the child. I have
had an opportunity of seeing the notes of what
I said on the former trial. I saw them about
three days ago. Mr. Pratt, was reading them. I then
made the observation to him that my answer, with respect
to the point, was not sufficiently explained. I was quite
aware of the omission before I entered the witness-box.

By Baron Channell—lt appears to me that the explana-
tion is quite sufficient. The particular question alluded to
appears to have been put and answered in an under tone,
and that it had not been sufficiently explained, so no actual
mistake had been made.

Mr. Sergeant Shea said that was the case for the defence.
. _

After an adjournment for a quarter of an hour,
Mr. Edwin James rose to reply on the whole of the evi-
dence. He dwelt upon the great importance of the result
of the trial to all parties concerned, and said he felt that the
hope Mr. Hatch expressed when he received sentence had
arrived, and the jury would by their verdict restore him to
liberty. He contended that the whole superstructure of the
wickedstory against Mr. Hatch had been shattered by the
evidence given out of the mouths of witnesses called for the
defence. Ho urged that the prurient and filthy ideas witk
regard to which Eugenia Plummer had deposed had been
put into her head by her mother, and that the
child rapidly adopted them until they grew into
the wicked and impossible story she had told.
The evidence of Mrs. Plummer, he thought, was most ex-
traordinary, and he thought that no woman could come
into Court, and give her evidence in the manner that she
did, unless she was in a state of intoxication or delirium
tremens. No woman could alternately laugh, cry, and
talk volubly to the learned counsel, inviting him down to
"Wiltshire to have brandy and water, while such a charge
was pending against her own child, without she was in the
state he had mentioned.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(TILIS DAY.)

EXCHEQUER CHAMBER.

Judger present—Lord Chief Justice, Sir Alexander Cock-
burn, Justices Williams, Crompton, Byles, Willis, and
Blackburn.)

Cross.examined by Mr. Oiffard—l recollect that Mr.
Brighton's name was mentioned at Mr. Hatch's, but I
can't exactly remember what was said. Eugenia made
a communication to her mother in my presence, but we were
so astonished that we attributed it to accidental circum-
stances. On the 26th of August, I cannot recollect
whether the -Wit was against the door. I will swear it was
not open, I now recollect I did go through the door. I
have Made a mistake in saying it was closed. Eugenia
talked about the circumstance all the way home. We did
not sit up all night talking about it. I will swear we did
not sit up all that night talking about it. I can't swear
what time we went to bed. We sat up rather late talking
about the distressing matter, and it might have been till
two o'clock in the morning. I will swear that we did not
have porter brought to the cab. I will swear that Mrs
Plummer never stopped to eat at the Bayswater-road or
had porter brought to us. I keep a gardener and a woman
servant, but neither reside in the house. Servants have
not refused to live in •ur house. I will not swear that
they have never refused to live with us, I know a servant
named Phcebe Hezel. I paid her one £5 because my wife
used to beat her, but she used to steal things from us. I
have never mentioned that circumstance before. She
wished to come back and live with us, but her motherre-
fused to permit her to do so. The £5 was paid for Phoebe's
doctor's bill. My wife did not beat her with a poker—it
was a candlestick.

JUDGMENT,-APPEAL IN ERROR.-TILE GREAT WESTERN

RAILWAY COMPANY V. FLETCHER.

The farther hearing of this part-heard appeal was re-
sumed.

This is a writ of error from the Court of Exchequer to
the Exchequer Chamber, against a dcoiana of the evert of
Exchequer, in favour of Mr. Fletcher, the defendant, in
error. The contention is whether the defendant has a
right to work his mines under the railway in Staffordshire.
Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Q.C., is now being heard for the
plaintiffs, in error, the railway company. The learned
counsel contends that the owner of land and mines was
not entitled to work his mines, as the surface land was con-
veyed to the railway company under the RailwayAct,which
has now traffic on it, and defendant cannot work the mines
without endangering the railway. The learned counsel
referred to several sections of the Railway Act, and deci-
sions of the Court, to show that the defendant was not
entitled to work his mines to injure the railway by such
workings.

The Lord Chief Justice observed that although the land-
owner sells his lands he reserves the mines and the right to
work them, in terms of the Railway Act. Although ho parts
with the surface, he is entitled to work the mines and
support the surface. In delivering judgment, the
Lord Chief Justice said, the simple question here
was whether the landowner was entitled to work his
mines. By the 17th section of the 9th Vic., cap. 20, there
is an express reservation in favour of the landowner to
work his mines ; and when the time comes that the working
of the mines render supports necessary to keep up the sur-
face, the landowner may have compensation for the loss of
working the mines under such supports. He was of opinion
that the judgment of the Court below was right, and ought
to be affirmed.

Re-examined by Sergeant Sheo—The charwoman re-

The other learned judges were entirely of the same
opinion.

sided on my own grounds. The children when we got
home sat up a short time, but certainly not until two
o'clock. They were put to bed, and then Mrs. Plummer
and myself sat up talking about it. Our present gardener
has lived with us two years and a half, the one before him
lived with us fire years.
By Baron Channell—The charwoman when she was
with us had very little to do with the children. She was
about forty years of age and married. Mrs. Plummer
always dressed and undressed her children. The female
servant we formerly kept was a housemaid.
By a Juror—l never took my children to the sea-side.

Judgment of the Court of Exchequer affirmed, with
costs.
