SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A GENTLEMAN.—A gen
tleman of large property, named Joseph Hopgood, who
was once in practice as a surgeon, was charged before the
mayor and magistrates of Tiverton on Monday with
administering to Mrs. Craze, the widow of an ironmonger
of the same town, and for whom the prisoner was acting
as trustee, a noxious drug, with intent to procure abor-
tion. The details of the case were of a most disgusting
character ; and it was admitted by Mrs. Craze that before
and after her husband 'e death the bad had criminal intez -
course with the prisoner. She wished to take medicine
to procure aboition, but alleged that Mr. Hopgood toh 1
her "that no man in England woul Ido it." She sea t
for a surgeon named Bedell with a view to effect hei •
purpose; but, after an interview with him, she said she
did not ask him to do it, and that this gentleman can. -
tioned her not to take any medicine. It was proved
that Mr. Hopgood had given Mrs. Craze two pills, bart
they were not of a noxious character, and were not suc&
as would be likely, as stated by several witnesses, te,
procure abortion. After hearing a number of witnesses,.
however, the magistrates committed the prisoner for
trial at the ensuing Devon Lent Assizes, but acceptedl
bail of 1,0001. for hie appearance.
