CENTRAL CRIMINAL COUla--(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron Channel]. and Mr. Justice Keating.)

THE CASE or THE REV. MR. HATCH.

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.

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 tnd myself
arranged to send our child, Eugenia,there for education. We
went to Mr. Hatch's house atWandsworth,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 him in the presence of my mother-
in-law. Mr. Pratt shortly afterards 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 reigned his appointment. I
never made it a habit even in her earlydays to sleep in our
bed. I never knew them to surprise me whilst I was
dressing. I know they were not acquainted with children
of vicious habits. I know they were never permitted to
mix with the grooms or men• servants. The child never
had a brother.

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 Shee 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
wicked story against Mr. Hatch had been shattered by the
evidence given out of the mouths of witnesses called for the
defence. He urged that the prurient and filthy ideas with
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.

Cross-examined by Mr. Giffard—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 holt 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 our house. I will not swear that
they have never refused to live with us, I know a servant
named Phoebe 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 mother re-
fused to perinit her to do so. The £5 was paid for Phwbe's
doctor's bill. My wife did not beat her with a poker—it
"was a candlestick.

Re-exaMined by Sergeant Shee—The charwoman re-
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 five 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 marrie3. 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.

[We shall continue the case in our late edition.]

D EDITION.

Mr. John Gay said —I am a surgeon, and reside at Swin-
don. I recollect being sent for by Mr. and Mrs. Plummer.
It was on Aug. 27. I immediately went to their house, and

SUN OFFICE, Six o'clock.

I arrived about 11 in the morning. I saw Mr. and Mrs.
Plummer. The children were afterwards introduced. We
were all seated, and the eldest child (the defendant) was
told to tell me all about Mr. Hatch's conduct.
[The witness then related the conversation.] After giving an
account of his medical examination of the children he pro-
ceeded—l was never betrothed to the child that I am aware
of. She always appeared to me a good and truthful child.
They have been carefully attended to, and kept very
reserved.

Cross examined by Mr. Edwin Tames—l have never
dined at Mr. Plummet's. The mother first told me a por-
tion f the case. She questioned the child in my presence.
She commenced by asking the question what Mr. Hatch did
to her. I swear that before the child answered the ques-

THE CASE OF THE REV. MR. HATCH.

Mr. E. James having concluded his reply,
A juror asked his lordship whether, as many of the jurors
were shopkeepers, and it being Saturday evening, he could
postpone summing up the evidence until Monday morning.
Baron Channell—l am perfectly ready to go on now, but
if the jury think it would be better to postpone fu ther pro-
ceedings until Monday, I am quite ready to go on.
Another Juror—l think we had better go on.
The Foreman—l am also of that opinion. I think the
majority of us would prefer finishing the case this evening.
Baron Channel—l cannot listen to anything respecting
the majority of the jury. As far as I am concerned, as I
said before, I am ready to go on. But I think as
it is more than likely you will require some time
for deliberation after I have concluded my summing up,
that circumstance would very possibly lead to your being
detained in custody until Monday morning. After I
have summed up the evidence to a jury, a
verdict must be given either one way or the
other before they are at liberty to leave the court. Be-
sides, this is a case of very great importance. I am anxious
that the convenience of all persons should be studied. I
can pay no attention to the wishes of any given number. If
you cannot come to an understanding amongst yourselves,
I shall exercise my own discretion as to whether I shall
proceed or not this evening.
No reply was made by the jury.
His Lordship continued—l think, under all the circum-
stances, it will be best we should now adjourn, and I will
commence reading the evidence to you on Monday.
The learned judge then quitted the bench, and the jury
were ordered to be again in attendance on Monday
morning.

JUDGMENT.-APPEAL IN ERROR.-THE 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 decision of the Court 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 rairway. 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

The witness was here seized with a fainting fit, and stag-
gered back in the box. After a few minutes he recovered,
but his cross-examination was postponed for a short time.
Baron Channell—lt is a great pity something cannot be
done to prevent the heat in court. It is quite oppressive.
Mr. James Pratt, sen.—l am an attorney, and carrying
on business at Wootton Bassett. I have been for some
time the adviser of Mr. and Mrs. Plummer. I was
sent for on the 27th of August last. I went imme-
diately. I saw Mr. and Mrs. Plummer and the children
in a very distressed state. Mrs. Plummer said her
children had been ill-treated at school, and she wished me
to investigate the circumstances. I then examined the
children as to the mode of ill-treatment, and the elder girl
made a statement to me. [The witness here repeated the
child's statement.] After I heard what she said I consi-
dered with Mr. and Mrs. Plummer with respect to the
charge. The result was that I came to London and saw
Mr. Humphreys. I then returned to the country, and
received a letter from Mr. HumphreYs)
and then a letter
was written to the Bishop.
Cross-examined—I arrived at Pluramer's after Mr. Gay
had been there. Nothing was drawn up in writing. Up
to the time of Mr. Hatch's resignation at Wandsworth I
conducted the case for Plummer. I drew up the particu-
lars and went with them the next day to Mr. Plummer's
trustees. Holcroftlhouse is a beautiful place.
By Sergeant Shee—The trustees I speak of were those
under Mr. and Mrs. Plummer's marriage settlement. I
.never thought the child other than a good conducted child.
Mr. Walter Pratt—l am a solicitor, the son of the last
witness, and resided at Swindon. I was first engaged pro-
fessionally in this case in October, after my father had given
it up. 1 had two interviews with Mrs. Hatch. After those
interviews Mr. Hatch came to Ridley's Hotel. Mrs. Hatch
came with him. She afterwards left the room at my re-
quest. I believe Hatch knew I held a warrant for his
apprehension. After she left I toll him I thought I had
authority to state that it was the wish of the parents that
the poor child should not be exposed, and as he had resigned
his living and involved himself in ruin, that the
case had gone far enough, and if he would confess
his guilt and apologise to Mrs. Plummer, there would
be an end of the matter. He refused. We were all very
much affected at the circumstance, and I cannot recollect
the precise order of the conversation. There, however, was
an observation that he made that produced a great impres-
sion in my mind, and I recollect it perfectly. After we
had been talking; Mr. Hatch said, " Well, I hope you will
deal as leniently as you can with me. I am mad or was
mad." I cannot swear positively whether it was "I am
mad" or " was mad," one or the other I am certain it was.
By Mr. Edwin James—l certainly asked the policeman if
he could, consistently with his duty, allow Mr. Hatch to re-
main in his own house until Monday. I did not wish to
he exposed.
The Rev. John Brighton--I am a clergyman of the
Church of England. I have been in the habit of educating

never had any fault to

During the. time she was with me she was a very good
child. She never clime into my bedroom. Certainly not.
By Mr. Edwin James—l don't know exactly how old she
was. I think she was about eight years of age when she
first came to me. It is three years ago since she quitted my
establishment. I don't know how many schools she has
been to since.
Taylor, 212 IT, said--I had a warrant placed in my hands
for the apprehension of Mr. Hatch on the 29th of October.
I heard nothing of him until the 12th of November, when
I found him at Ridley's Hotel. I found Mr. Pratt, jun.,
with Mr. and Mrs. Hatch, and I took him into custody. In
going to the Wansworth Police-station he asked me the
Precise nature of the charge. I said the warrant was for
an assault on a girl named Plummer, and there was another
for assaulting the sister. He said, " Can I see that infor-
mation ?" I said no doubt it will be read to you on Mon-
day. He said, " What is the punishment ?" I said if the
case was proved the magistrate could give him six months.
Cross-examined—l went to Ridley's by appointment with
Mr. Pratt.
Mr. Gay recalled—The mother said she could not tell me
what it was, it was too shocking. The whole story told me
was in answer to questions put by Mrs. Plummer. I can-
not say whether the younger child was there all the time,
but she was part of the time. Mrs. Plummer asked such
questions as " What did he do ?
Re-examined by Sergeant Shee—The questions put by
the mother were such as the following, "What did Mr.
Hatch do to you ?" She did not put questions that would
convey their own answer. I have frequently had
fainting fits before. I knew that the shorthand-writer
