It Is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
principles of personal management which cannot be violated with-
cut incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc-
ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and, above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

SERIOUS CHARGE OF VI
Clayton, described as a job-master iiind N
cl VSS
Mr. Richard Clay
ginger-beer and soda-water manufacturer, living at 378,
a
Hugh-street, Belgrave-road, portly man about 40 years
of age, with a wife and family, was placed at the bar
before Mr. Paynter on Saturday, at the Westminster
Poliee-eourt, charged with violating the person of Hannah
Bond, a diminutive child, under the age of 14 when the
offence was alleged to have been committed.
Mr. Sleigh conducted the prosecution on behalf of the
Associate Institution for the Protection of Women ; and
Mr. Salomon defended the prisoner.
Mr. Sleigh, in opening his case, said that the charge
against the prisoner was for violating his own servant,
•whose virtue, as a respectable member of society, he
was bound to have protected, and, if he (Mr. Sleigh)
was properly instructed, a more disgraceful case had
never been brought before a criminal tribunal, in
which words would fail him to describe the atrocity of
the offence. He then went on to describe the circum-
stances of the case as afterwards proved in evidence, and
concluded by observing that after the commission of the
offence the prisoner absented himself from his home and
family, and was found skulking at a coffee-shop in the
Waterloo-road, where the constable, who had been some
days previously in quest of him, apprehended him, when
he admitted he had placed his hand up the child's
clothes.

Harriet Bond, a very modest quiet looking child, said
she was 14 years of age last Sunday, and now lives with
her parents at 13i, Smith-square. She was in prisoner's
service three months previously to last Thursday week.
Prisoner was a married man with a wifeand two children.
No other servant was kept in the house. On Tuesday
week, the 22d, her mistress went to the Crystal. Palace
with the children, leaving her alone in the
house. Prisoner came in about half an hour after
she had gone, and told her to clean his boots and
bring him some hot water. She went up stairs
with the water to his bedroom, and he then asked
her how it was her mistress had not taken her to the
Crystal Palace, and followed it up by inquiring whether
she would not like to go, to which she replied in the
affirmative. He then asked her whether she would-go
with him in the phaeton to the palace, and she said she
would not. She was at this time on the stairs, when he
took her by the arm, and carrying her into the room,
threw her on the bed, and committed the offence with
which he now stood charged. She screamed, when he
put his hand over her mouth, and prevented her. She
struggled to get away, but his power was so great that
it-was, useless to attempt it. After the consummation
of the offence he told her he would give her 3/. for the
first time, ss. per week, and that if she did not like her
plan: she where was to run away from her home, and he
would take lodgings for her, visit her every evening, and
•ake her out. Prosecutris told Mrs. Blackmore, a
woman who lived in the rear of tie premises, what
had been done, and the same evening also told a
charwoman, who informed her parents.
In cross-examination by Mr. Solomon, prosecutrix
raid that there was nobody in the house but their two
eelves. Prisoner's brother Edward was not there. Her
master's bedroom was the first B. back, the window
laced Mrs. Blackmore'e window, but there was a large
yard separated them. Her master's window was shut.
Remembers Mrs. Blackmore seeing her shortly after the
occurrence, and remarking that she had a very red face.
Did not say that she bad had such a romp with her
master. She might have told her so, but did not recol-
lect or think that she did. She thought her reply to
Mrs. Blackmore was that she had been flurried a great
deal. Thought she might have said, " Don't tell my
mistress ; I shall lose my situation. I wouid not have

my mother know it for the world." I subsequently
told Mrs Blackmore all that bad happened, and
that she screamed, but Mrs. Blackmore said she
did not hear her. Saw her mistress at ten that
night, but did not say a single word to her
about it. Told the charwoman on the Wednesday
night. Had said in a joke to her sister that the potboy
at the St. George was her chap, but that was merely in
fun, as she knew nothing of him. Prisoner's wife was
not at the bottom of this prosecution, but she had said
she should like to see him in Newgate, and that prosecu-
trix's father and mother ought to go to a magistrate.
Mr. George Pearce, a member of the College of
Surgeons, 10, Regent-street, Westminster, said he ex-
amined the child ou the 26th ult. There were no marks
of violence. The hymen was not present, and inter-
course bad been had with her. Her appearance was
consistent with what had occurred on the previous Tues.

was nothing now to determine when the intercourse bad
occurred.
The child's mother said she had hitherto been very
well behaved.
Police-constable G. J. Powley, 228 B, said he had
been seeking the prisoner in different quarters from the
previous Saturday, and found him on Friday afternoon
at a coffee-shop in the Waterloo-road, where he was
passing under the name of Mr. Wood, from Woking.
He said he knew the charge against him, and in the
cab on his way to the station be admitted he had taken
the liberty with the child described at the conclusion of
Mr. Sleigh's address.
Mr. Solomon was about to address the court, when
the officer said he had something to add. The child's
mother had been offered 50/. on her way to the court
that morning to withdraw the prosecution.
Mr. Paynter asked the mother whether that was so I
The mother replied it had been offered byJohn Downey,
a friend of the prisoner's.
Mr. Solomon said his client could not be accountable
for the conduct ( f other people. Besides, a man would
willingly, guilty or innocent, give that amount, sooner
than have such a charge as this hanging over his head.
He then addressed the magistrate at considerable
length for his client, urging that his wire bad instigated
the prosecution, and that although he felt bound to ad-
mit improprieties had occurred between Mr. Clayton
and the prosecutrix, it was with her own consent.
He the? called Mrs. Jane Blackmore, the wife of a
man in prisoner's employment, living at 6, St. George's-
mews, Hugh-street, who said that his window and that
of the prisoner's room were nearer than described by
the child, and that prisoner's window was open at the
time of the occurrence, but she heard no screams. When
she saw her in the afternoon she asked her the reason of
her face being so red, when the reply she made was, that
she and her master had been romping.
In cross-examination by Mr. Sleigh, she could not tell
any other day that the prisoner's window had been open.
She had come to the court that morning with Mr. Clay-
ton, and her hu,band was in his employ.
Mr. Sleigh—Did not the prosecutrix tell you that
something particular had happened to her l—Witnesg :
No, she did not.
Mr. Sleigh—Did she not tell you her master had
thrown her on the bed ? Witness—No, she did not.
Mr. Sleigh—Now, be careful, madam. You may
hear of this elsewhere. Will you swear that she did not
tell you so ? Witness hesitated.
Mr. Sleigh—l'll have my question answered ; this
will not do for me. Did she not tell you he threw her
on the bed Come, answer. Witness—Well, she did.
Mr. Sleigh (hastily)—And did she not tell you beheld
his hand over her month to prevent her screaming T
Witness—She did (with great hesitation).
Mr. Sleigh—Woman, stand down ; ask you no
more questions. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
Mr. Paynter—Turn her out of court.
A strong inclination was manifested by the auditory,
who had exhibited some sensation, to treat the woman
as she was handed out with hisses.
This closed the case, when Mr. Paynter said he should
commit the prisoner for trial at the Central Criminal
Court, but he must be brought up again for the depositions
to be read over.

Mr. Solomon hoped that what had just occurred with
tke witness, would not oreate a prejudice, and prevent
bail being accepted for his client.
Mr. Paynter said he would not accept bail, and pri-
soner was accordingly removed to the cells to await
the arrival of the prison van.

FOR

the result. of the late Royal Commission of Inquiry into
the condition of the army medical department might
demande
f M
thatfor
r.
have been to ameliorate the condition of the medical
officers so materially that a large number of highly qua-
lified men would have been induced to enter the service.
From what has transpired as to the recommendations
made by the commissioners there is little doubt that the
position and status of army medical officers would have
been greatly improved had those recommendations been
adopted at the present crisis, and the great difficulty of
meeting the actual deminds now existing would have
been obviated. Yet it is understood that the report of
the commissioners will not appear before December, and
it is said that the reason of this delay is the riluctance
of Lord Panmure to carry out immediately the augges.
tions of the commissioners as regards the increased pay
Secretary-at-War, and allowances to the officers of the medical department.
We can only say that if any from nar-
row-minded parsimonious motives, withhold from our
sick and wounded in the East, under the great hardships
and dangers to which they are now exposed, a sufficient
amount of medical assistance, he entirely contradicts in
action his own expressed opinions. We may add that
it is difficult to exaggerate the moral guilt the Govern.
ment would incur, as it will be to curb the indignation
of the country,
.should it appear that a want which might
be supplied now is not supplied, and that this neglect
should lead to a recurrence of Crimean diastera in India.
