as no one would hear her. I asked her wh3 • she had
not told her mother, and she said she was f'l. aid, as
he had threatened her. I told her mother the same
evening, and the next evening her mother went to
the station. I aid not know my sister had such
a book as " Fanny Hill."
Prisoner (who had hitherto put no quel .tions)—
What did you say on Friday when I asked 3 'ou what
you were leaving for ?
-Witness—l did not tell you ; but I said: to some
of the girls that I should not come any m ore, be-
cause you were paying some of them more money
than you paid me, although I was doing t.`ie best
work. I thought you did it to favour them., so that
they might not tell about you.
Elizabeth Sewell, who also worked at the „%,:actory,
deposed that Hannah Percival told her abou t three
weeks ago, that the prisoner had been wi th her
three or four times, first on the stairs, thei t on a
bedstead, then on a board, and then on some bed-
sacking. Witness knew a book called "Ft i.nny
Hill," which the prosecutrix brought for her to
read. As she was reading it the prisoner came. in
and said, "What's that going on there ?" Perci sal
said it was only a book called " Fanny Hill." Ile
said, " Let me look at it ;" but some of the woman
said, " No, don't." He, however, took it out of hot.
hands, and gave it back to Hannah Percival. Whe.l
Percival said he had been with her she said it wsw
against her consent, but told witness to say nothing
to anyone else. Afterwards, when the prisoner
called her into the counting-house, she denied it,
before witness, and said he had only tried to do it.
Prisoner—When " Fanny Hill" was about, who
were there besides you and Percival ?
Witness—Mrs. Bradley and Mrs. Dawson.
Prisoner—You hear that, my lord. Mrs. Bradley
said she knew nothing about such a book.
Mrs. Percival, mother of the prosecutrix, said—
I knew nothing about this till last Friday, when
my other daughter told me, and next evening I
went to the station-house, but they told me my
daughter was too old, and they thought I could
not do anything in it. The week before last I
noticed that my daughter Hannah was very
heavy with sleep, and spoke to her about it; but
she told me nothing. After my other daughter
told me, on Friday last, I spoke to Hannah
about it, and she told me the prisoner had
ruined her. I said, " You wicked girl, why did you
not tell me before ?" and she said, " Oh, mother, I
did not like." I saw Mrs. Dawson on Saturday
night before I went to the station. She told me
she' would speak to the gentleman about it, and let
me know on Monday morning what he said. I
not ask her to speak to the prisoner, or get any
money from him. She said she would go to him,
and ask him what Hannah was to do to hide her
shame, and on Monday morning she told me that
Mr. Powers would give her nothing, as she had'
been ruined on Paul's Wharf-pier, and that he could
prove it, which I deny. She promised to come up
again yesterday afternoon, but I did not see her.
Hannah Percival re-examined—l had the book
" Fanny Hill," which I got at home. My brother I
had brought it there. I took it to the factory and
showed it to Sewell. I did not read it myself, but
there were some pictures init. I did not lend it to
the prisoner. He took it from Sewell's hand, and
said that was nothing to look at ; he had one at
home a good deal better than that. He told me'he
had come from Birmingham, and that there was
not so much noise made about things there. That
was last Friday, when he told me to deny it. He
said that when he was at Birmingham he could go
where there were 50 women, and laugh and joke as
he liked, and nothing was thought about it. He
said he could take a woman away and keep her all
night, and when they came back to the factory next
morning nothing was thought of it at all, but that
his joke with me was all over the place.
Smart, a detective—l wcnt to Messrs. Chevasse's
factory this morning, and saw the prisoner on the
second floor there. I told him I must apprehend
him for a rape on Hannah Percival. He said,
" Bless my heart, this is a conspiracy. lam inno-
cent Of the charge." I then took him into custody.
This completed the case against the prisoner.
Mr. Alderman Abbiss (who sat for the Lord
Mayor) —lt is my intention to commit you for trial.
It is a case upon which I shall not myself adjudi-
cate.
Prisoner—l can call a witness who was with me
all night on the first time she mentions.
Mr. Goodman—But you 4 annot call a witness
who was with you on all the four occasions. Have
you any tiring to say in answer to the charge ?
Prisoner—l wish to say that it is a gross con-
spiracy to obtain money, knowing that I am inno-
cent of the charge.
Mr. Goodman—Will you call your witness now
or at the Old Bailey ?
Prisoner—l wish for a remand or td be admitted
to bail.
Mr. Goodman—lf you wish eve will call your
witness.

Prisoner—l should prefer a remand to enable me
consult my solicitor,
Mr. Goodman—T.
n
Mr. Alderro 'ere can be no objection to that.
Abbiss--Then I shall remand you.
The Vrkoner was remanded accordingly.

VORSHIP-STREET-ME SIIOREDITCII Mum-
DER—COMMITTAL OF THE PRISONER.—Jas. Moore,
charged with the wilful murder of Mary Ann, his
wife, was brought up for final examination.
Charlotte Cawthorne examined—T am a married
woman, and reside opposite the house where the pri-
soner and deceased lodged. I have seen her pass in
and out the house. On the Monday when his wife
was found murdered I saw him leave the house at
about half-past nine o'clock in the morning. He
closed the door and walked away towards Earl-
street. He was dressed in a black coat and hat. I
did not observe his trousers. There was nothing
unusual in his manner. I saw him return about a
quarter to thtee o'clock on the afternoon of that
day. Did not hear any disturbance in the morn-
ing. On the previous evening I observed him look-
ing from the upper room window. He was in his
shirt-sleeves.

Prisoner—l was not there; it was my wife.
David Calcott—l am an " attendant" at the Hox-
ton-house Asylum. The shirt produced, and said to
have been found in the prisoner's room, is very
similar to those I issue. It is stamped with an" 8,"
the number of the ward in which the prisoner was
in. I believe it to be the same shirt he had on when
he left the asylum, but I will not swear to it. I
produce one precisely similar.
Mr. D'Eyncourt (to the Inspector)—have you
ascertained anything certain respecting the piece
of steel found in the neck of the deceased, and which
is supposed to be a minute portion of a razor-blade.
Inspector Bricknell—A cutler to whom it has
been shown expressed a belief that it had come from
the notch of the razor in question nearest the heel
but was unable to speak positively.
The evidence of the witnesses was then read over,
The accused listened attentively, and objected to.
some portion of each as being untrue. When the
testimony of Mrs. Turner was concluded, he asked,
" Why did you not, on hearing screams of mur-
der,' burst open the door ?" the answer to which
pertinent question was, " After my interference the
cries subsided, and I thought that all was right."
The prisoner rejoined, "Then I think that you were
very wronc, ; and I wish to state that when I was
told I had a clean shirt on, my answer was, 'Not
since Sunday.'"
Mr. D'Eyncourt—Prisoner, you are charged with
the crime of murder.
Prisoner (excited)—No.
Mr. D'Eyncourt—You are not required to s2y
anything in answer to the accusation, but whatever
you do say will be written down and may be used
as evidence against you at your trial.
Mr. Beard (who was again in attendance for
the prisoner)—Do not say anything.
Prisoner—l will ask if I am not to be admitted
to .bail ?

_
Mr. D'Eyncourt—Certainly not
Prisoner—Why P I can find plenty of bail to
show that I am not insane ; but settle it among
yourselves.
The depositions having been completed by Mr.
Arthur Stafford, the second clerk, the witnesses
were bound over, and the accused fully committed
to New; gate for trial.

The nlagistrato complimented the inspector in
charge of the case on the care and expedition with
which he had produced the necessary evidence.

'William of Prussia—" Der Heine Fritz" (Little Fred) as
