THE NEW NOVEL, "RUMOUR." LAWS V. TUCK.
By the Author of ' Mr. Power and Mr C)uce were counsel for the
,
"CHARLES A UCHESTER," 8:e. pl dutiff ; Mr. O'Malley represented the defendant.
Hurst and Blackett, Publisher?, successors to Henry Colburn, 13,
Marlborough-street. Thi3 was an action in which the plaintiff, a pub-
Greatlicans at. Ell-, sought to -recover compemsat ion from.

.ie defendant, a butcher and a naitied.inan , re-
siding near, for the seduction of his daughter Jane.'
The defendant,pleaded Not Guilty
The principal witness for the plaintiff was a
young and interesting girl,- now only 19 years of
age. Two years ago she was called upon, in conse-
quence of her mother's illness, to take upon hersslf
the management of her father's business and house-
hold, which consisted of one female servant and
one . male, Matthew. Bates by name, but called
"John Ostler" for shattiesa, a y.- nth agt.d. 19.
Front the testimony of -I.Lss Laws and that of
seversl-wo..u-Lia Who from time to time lived in the
Louse it-appeared that the plaintiff was absent on
his little fartn almost all day, and the defer lant
was constantly in the habit Of going to the house.
About the time when Mrs. Laws.was taken ill he
began to take liberties with Jane, which grew from
one thing to another till he accomplished her ruin
one evening in. July, 1857, when he intercepted her
on her way to see her grandmother. The con-
nexion thus established was kept secret,•'and was
carried on from ti,me to- time till, on the morning
of the 26th of AjAil in this year, the poor girl
suddenly gave birth to a child and told her be-
wildered tather--her mother being then dead—
that his friend Mr. Tuck was the guilty father. On
the following day the defendant wrote a letter to
the plaintiff soliciting an interview, in order that he
-might clear up a report regarding him. The
plaintiff was too affected to enter into any dis-
cussion with the,defendant at
,-that time; bnt
further inquiry satisfying him that the state-.
ment of his ruined daughter was correct he
brought this action. Miss Laws, when cross-ex-
amined, emphatirally denied that any other man had
ever taken liberties with her. On the part of the
defendant he himself denied that he had ever had
connexion with the daughter of the plaintiff, though
he admitted that he had often taken certain liberti. s
with her in the helve, the cuAtoin of which was
somewhat loose according to his statement=, for he
alleged, through certain witncs'es, that Bates was
much more familiar with his young mistress than
the defendant, .and that others had taken liberties
with her. Into all the details of this part of the
cAse we may be excused from entering, but in jus-
ticetO Mss Laws and to Bates, we are bound to
add that at the conclusion of the defendant's case
Bates was called by the plaintiff, and denied on
his oath that he had ever witnessed any impro-
prietyOn the part of his young mistress, or that
she had in the remotest degree transgressed the
bounds of decorum with himself or any other

TO the WORTHY. and INDEPENDENT
LIVERYMEN of the CITY of LONDON.
GENTLEMEN,
Several of my friends have r. quested me to offer myself for the
vacant Office of Chamberlain of the City of Lon ion.
It has been my good furtune to act as one of the Magistrates of thq
City for nearly 30 years : I hype not without advantage• to my
fellow•citizens, andyl trust, with credit to myself. Should it be your
pleasure to place me in so highly important an offile by your suf-
fraces, thebt:mble abilities I possess shall Ise directed to the dis-
charge of Its duties. Candour camp3ls me to state that I consider
a canvass not compatihle with seeking such a post. and, therefore,
will not resort to the course adopted upon the last vacancy. Your
spontaneous ♦otes alone must decide the choice.
I have the honour to be, •
Your faithful servant,
W. T. COPELAND,
Alderman of Bishopsgate
London, July 19th, 1858.

F. HANCOCK, of Bruton-street and New
C. Bond-street, Jeweller and Silversmith to the Principal
Sovereigns and Courts of Europe, begs leave to remove an erroneous
impression which exists amongst some of his customers, that he has
retired, or is about to retire, from business. This impression (which
is entirely unfounded) has probably arisen In esnsequence of the re-
tirement and selling off of a Jeweller of the same name, also of New
Bond-street, but with whom C. F. Hancock is not, and never has
been, in any way connected, either in basiness or by relationship.

Lord Campbell, in summing up the case, left it
to the jury as one in which their verdict must de-
pend upon the question whether they would believe
the evidence of the plaintiff's daughter or that of
the defendant, who had given his evidence in the
most unbecoming way, ana; according to his own
account, hail conducted hims- lf towards -the plain-

WORSHIP-STREET. Johann. Friedrich
Herold, a German, 36, was charged with au abo-
minable assault upon a young woman named
Henrietta Morphew.
The substance of the evidence of the complainant,
a modest and delicate-looking girl of 17 or 18, who
fainted the moment she caught siAht of the pri-
soner, and was obliged, upon re.i.overiug, to lie
seated throughout the exaMination, was, that the
prisoner, who had only just come to this country,
and was almost entirely ignorant of the language,
took furnished apartments in her father's house
about a fortnight ego and returned home on, -
Sunday evening while she was_ preparing tea in
the kitchen for a young friend who was to call
upon her and keep her company while her father
and mother. wore out. While so ,engaged the pri •
seller, 'who had no business whAtever there, sudT
deuly entered the room, and, without saying a word
to her, placed his arm round her waist, kissed her,
in opposition to her wishes, and forcibly flung her
down. She struggled with him' as vi •lently as
she could, and released herself from his ?rasp,
but he again caught ber, held her head and-' f.,ce
beneath his arm to prevent her cries being heard,
and so compressed her head that the b.c ime
fectly senselesa, and so remained fOr a long time,
and being restored to eonsciousness found herself
alone, and in such a deplorable state that it is im-
possible to describe it.
An interpreter onle#half of the prisoner, closely
cross-examined die prosecutrix with a view to elicit
something like asseut or encouragement upon her
part, but totally failed in so doing, the young wo-
man not only denying it, but denying it with anex-
prbision of repugnance and terror.
The mother, after describing the prosecutrix as
a thoroughly modest, virtuous, and well-conduit-•dgirl, stated that on returning home from a friend's
house, in the company of ber husband, she found
lie street door open, and, not seeing her daughter,
- her twice. The second • time the girl
answered faintly, and on reaching the head of. the
stars, with her clothes in a very disordered state,.
she burst 'into tears and fell helplessly into her
arms. This resulted in an inquiry, which revealed
'facts of such an atrocious nature that witness and
het husband immediately sent for the police and
gave the prisoner into custody.
Mr. Miller, a surgeon in the neighlieurhood, and.
Mr. John Mather, the divisional surgeon, both de-
posed to an examination of the prosecuirix, which
incontestibly pro'ved to t'_-em that not only had
what until lately was termed a capital offence been
committed,. but under circumstances of much vio-
lence and barbarity.
The prisoner offered no defence, either by hint-
self or the interpreter, and was remanded by Mr.
D'Eyncourt.

A LITTLE ROMANCE.

( From the Liverpool Ali.ion. )
On Saturday, at the Liverpool police-court, a
respectable-looking man, apparently about 40 years
of age, and who is desetibed in the Directory as
Philip Field, of "14, Great Nelson-street, glass,
china, and earthenware dealer," and as having " a
stall in St. Martin's Market," was placed before the
stipendiary magistrate, Mr. Mansfield, chared
with bigamy. The prisoner—whose attenuated
figure, thin visage, and languid expression would
scarcely have conveyed the impression that he was
a gay deceiver, though the smallness and low de-
velopinent of his cranium might justify a belief in
the want of an average amount of common sense—
seemed so thoroughly ashamed of the part he was
thou rehearsing, that the purely selfish element
was not relieved by one touch of sorrow for the dis-
tressing position to which the indulgence of his
brutal passions had brought the two unfortunate
women who called him husband. They, poor
creatures, were seated side by side near the bench.
They were deeply veiled, seeking to screen their
grief from the prying eye of the public. The first
wife, who appeared to be a fine, matronly worn in,
was well, but simply dressed ; while her younger
companion in trouble was more gaily attired, her
bead being surrounded by a fashionable hat, front
which hung a brown veil, entirely hiding what was
afterwards shown to be a very handsome little face.
They appeared to be on good terms, a community
of grief having given them a community of sym-
pathy, which was exhibited in many little acts of
mutual attention.
It seems that the prisoner married his first wife,
Mary Rudg,er, at Corlton, in Leicestershire, some
years ago, obtaining with her a little money, which
enabled him to enter into business as a glass,
china, and earthenware dealer, in Liverpool. He
and she w, re attentive tobusiuess, and times pro-
sn:_red with them. Their trade increased, and so
did their balance at the bankers', for care accompa-
nied thrift. All went smoothly on until Philip met,
on Breck-road, a pretty servant girl, who rejeic
in the name of Mary Ann Themas. lie was struck
by her appearance, followed her, eugagJd her in
conversation, saw her again and again, he ropre-
seuting himself as a Mr. Hairison, and as a single
man. He secured her affections, took her to Lon-
don, where, having married her at St. Bartholo-
mew's Church, in October last, he placed her in
1 edgings, and saw her from time to time. At length
the second wife heard of the man's treachery. After
the first burst of sorrow came reflection, and with
it thoughts which she put into language, glowing
as impulsive, as exhibited in the following letter to
him whom she could not now call " husband" :--
"London, June 14, 1858.
