CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day.

NEW COURT. '
(Before the Recorder.)
THE CHARGE AGAINST MADAME RACHEL.

Sarah Rachel Leverson, 43, married, was in-
dicted for unlawfully obtaining by false pre-
tences from Mary flicker Borradaile £1,400 with
intent to defraud ; she also stood indicted with
conspiring with intent to obtain £3,000 from the
same person.
Sergeant Ballantine, Mr. 11‘1,ntague Williams,
and Mr. S raight prosezutel ; and Mr. Digby
Seymour, Sergeant Parry, Sergeant Sleigh,
an 1 Mr. Butler Rigby defende I the prisoner.
Mr. Sergeant Ballantine s tid the actual nature
of the charge was that of obtaining from time to
time between July and Dec., 1866, divers sums of
money and valuable securities, and for conspiring
with other parties in defrauding Mrs. Borradaile.
The complainant was a lady of very respectable
position, and the widow of an officer. She was no
doubt guilty of folly and vanity, but the person at
the bar had preyed upon her weakness. The pri-
soner was au illiterate person, not being able either
to read or write, and about three or four years ago
a shop was obtained for her in New Bond-street.
Madame Rachel placed the royal arms over the
door. It professed to be a perfumer's shop ; but
from the advertisements about soap and powder—
(laughter)—which appeared in the papers, it was
the profession of the prisoner to make ladies
• Beautiful for ever." Mrs. Borradaile seeing these
advertisements went to the prisoner for the purpose
of improving her personal appearance, and finding
Madame Rachel an extremely agreeable person she
visited her very frequently, and ultimately it was
told her it would take £l,OOO to effect a perma-
nent change for the better in her personal appear-
ance. Mrs. Borradaile objected to pay so large a
sum, when she was told that Lord Ranelagh had
fallen desperately in love with her, and this tale
had the desired effect, as Mrs. Borradaile at once
parted with the large sum of money, on the under-.
standing that she was to bo the wife of Lord
Ranelagh. Aladame Rachel was very anxious to
keep Mrs. Borradaile from all persons who
would be likely to expose the tricks that were
being carried on, and she accordingly introduced
her to her own solicitor, who was entrusted with the
documents to raise the requisite sums of money. A
receipt was read by the learned Sergeant, written
by Mrs. Borradaile and signed by Madame Rachel,
which stated that the sums of money received were

for toilet requisites, bath preparations, soap, &c.,
until she was finished. (Laughter.) The name of
Lord Ranelagh was constantly kept prominently
before the prosecutrix, and she was introduced to a
person whom she believed was Lord Ranelagh ; but
as long as Mrs. Borradaile was in the possession of
any property she was not let go by Madame
Rachel. Whilst Mrs. Borradaile had a ring
on her finger, a guinea in her pocket, or
a shift to her back, Madame Rachel preyed
upon her credulity. Letters were received by her
purporting to come from Lord Ranelagh, all of
which were written in the most outrageous terms,
but having been defrauded of all her property the
whole transaction exploded. He need hardly tell
them that Lord Ranelagh's name had been imported
into the case without his having the slightest know-
ledge that it had been done. He should call
his lordship, who would indignantly deny all
knowledge of the transaction, and he felt sure the
jury would pronounce a verdict which would rid
London of one of its foulest stains.

Mrs. Borradaile, the prosecutrix, was then called
and examined by Mr Montague Williams—She said

,hat she was the widow of an officer, Col. Borra-
daile, and that in 1864 she first went to Madame
Rachel, and on first going she (prisoner) asked her
how much she was going to spend. She said about
£lO, and then she received a packet of powder to
put into the water on taking her bath. Between
the years 1864 and 1865 she had parted with £l7O
to Madame Rachel. She, however, continued to
visit the prisoner's establishment, when in 1866 the
prisoner told hlr Lard Ranelagh had fallen despe-
rately in love with her. She said she did
not know him, but the prisoner told her
that his lordship was well acquainted with
her, that he was very rich, and would make
her a good husband. She thought that if she could
get Lord Ranelagh for her husband it would be a
good thing for her daughter. Rachel told her that
Lord Ranelagh had " fancied" her, and that she
would suit him. After this Rachel told her that
she must be made " beautiful," or Lord Ranelagh
would be lost to her. Rachel told her the cost
would be £l,OOO. At the time she (prosecutrix) had
money in the funds ; and shortly after Madame
Rachel took her to a Mr. Haynes, a solicitor in the
city. She went to the city to sell out stock to the
amount of £1,300. This was done, but at a loss.
She gave Mr. Haynes an order to hand £BOO
of the money--£963 2s. 101.—over to Ma-
dame Rachel. The order to pay the money
was signed by me in Mr. Haynes's office.
She had received no consideration whatever for the
£BOO. Madame Rachel told her she was to be mar-
ried to Lord Ranelagh by proxy. (Laughter.) She
asked what that meant, and she was told "by letter
writing." (Laughter.) She received some letters
signed " William," and Madame Rachel told her
they came from Lord Ranelagh. When she gave
her the letter commencing " My own dearly beloved
Mary," she gave her a pencil case and scent box,
which she said originally belonged to Lord Rane-
lagh's mother. By the advice of Madame Rachel
she changed her solicitors (Messrs. Lewis and
Lewis), but that was not until after she had parted
with all her property. She invariably received all
her letters from Madame Rachel, and she believed
they came from Lord Ranelagh. When she asked
why they were signed " William ". and " Edward,"
when Lord Ranelagh's name was " Thomas,"
Rachel told her it was a matter of precaution.
A number of letters received by the prosecutrix,
all breathing ardent love, were here read, which
she always believed came from Lord Ranelagh.
Examination continued—All the answers to these
letters were written by her, but were dictated by
Madame Rachel. They were directed from Madame
Rachel's shop. Madame Rachel told her she would
require a quantity of lace, and she introduced her
to a Mr. Bower, to whom an order was given for
between £3OO and £4OO worth. The lace was sent
to Madame Rachel. She (witness) never re-
ceived a single inch of it. She was arrested for the
amount of the bill, and had to pay it. Eventually
Madame Rachel told her that she had pawned the
lace for Lord Ranelagh. She also told her it was
necessary she should have diamonds, and sent for
Mr. Pyke, a jeweller, who bought a quantity ci
diamonds set as a coronet and necklace, to Madame
Rachel's house. Madame Rachel placed them on
her head, and asked her how she liked them. The
price was £1,200, but at that time she had not the
money; but she had some property at Streatham,
and Madame Rachel took her to Mr. Haynes to em-
power her to dispose of it. The property realised
£1,540, £1,400 of which she ordered Mr. Haynes to
pay Madame Rachel. After the property had been
sold, Rachel told her Lord Ranelagh would not
allow her to have the diamonds from Mr. Pyke, and
she had to pay £lOO to Mr. Pyke as a forfeiture for
not purchasing them. After that Madame Rachel
asked her whether she would allow her to pay the
£1,400 to " Captain William Edwards." She gave
her consent to such being done. " Captain Ed-
wards" was the name she knew Lord Ranelagh by.
The money Rachel said had been paid to him for
Volunteering purposes. She had, after she had
given Madame Rachel the £1,400, given her addi-
tional small sums of money, always believing it was
for Lord Ranelagh.
The Recorder—Did she tell you who she wanted
the money for ?

Mrs. Borradaile—Yes; it was 41ways for Lord
Ranelagh.

Euraination continued—Madame Rachel told

her she would require a trousseau for the marriage,
and Mr. Procter, of Brompton, brought what was
required, for which she paid £l6O. She never
received one single article, and when she
asked Madame Rachel about it, and how she
was to do the thing, Rachel always told her to
ask dear William for them. Rachel induced
her to send for her plate from Cheltenham,
and to bring it to her house, as she said
it was better that every thing should be
together —(laughter) —as she was going to be mar-
ried. She had also given her all her rings and
jewellery " to pack" with the other things, but
she had never seen them after she bad once
parted with them. She had frequently asked Madame
Rachel about them, but never could get any other
answer than that she was to ask Lord Ranelagh for
them. On one occasion when ehe was at Rachel's
shop, Rachel brought hor a lighted cigar, which
she said was Lard R tnelag,h's, an .I she told her
his love was as warm as his cigar. (Laughter.)
She subsequently executed a bond to the amount
of £1,600, as Madame Rachel hal told her she ha :I
given all her money to Lord Ranelagh, and that
money was required for making her beautiful
for ever. (Laughter.) She was arrested iu
the month of -December, after she had executed
the bond. Madame Rachel came to see her in pri-
son ; whilst there she executed another document
at Rachel's suggestion in order to get released.
She had never received any single article of her
property back from Madame Rachel, neither had
she received any consideration other than that she
had mentioned for the money. She parted with
the money solely on the representations of Madame
Rachel that Lord Ranelagh adored her. She never
would have parted with it but for those repre-
sentations.
Cross-examined by Mr. Rigby Seymour—She
objected to tell her age. She was married very young,
and had been in India, and always moved in the best
society. Could not recollect whether, when she went
first to Madame Rachel's, she did not have much
conversation. Rachel told her the groundwork of
her process was not by stopping up the pores of the
skin or by painting the face, which must be dis-
gusting to every right-minded person, but simply
by cleanliness and the use of the Arabian bath. She
did not tell her that her regular charge for her
whole process was 1000 guineas. All that Rachel
did for her in 1864-5 she paid her £l7O. She never
ran a bill with Rachel for toilette requisites. She took
her first bath in 1864. On the 16th of May, 1866,
she was first introduced to Lord Ranelagh, and
after that she took her baths at Davis-street, not
in Madame Rachel's house. Madame Rachel had
said something to her about gentlemen seeing her
(prosecutrix) in the bath. She declined to say
what it was. Mrs. Hicks never said she should not
have a bath at Davis-street, because she had reported
that she had been peeped at by gentlemen whilst so
engaged. Mrs. Hicks might Swear that she had said
so—she) may be hero for that purpose—but she
to swear, in fact she
h(pardossewcourtnri,x)shweaisiaqduinte ready to
so.
When she was
first introduced to Lord Ranelagh he gave her his
card. He was not there above five minutes, and
all that was said was said by Madame Rachel. She
believes Lord Ranelagh said something about some
private theatricals going on at Beaufort House,
but that they were not good enough for her
to see. She always believed that Lord Ranelagh
intended to marry her. During her married life at
Brompton she could not say her husband had men-
tioned Lord Ranelagh's name. She had always
lived a virtuous and prudent woman. She could
swear he never visited at their house. Until Ma-
dame Rachel introduced her she never knew any-
thing about him. After Madame Rachel's treat-
ment her skin was perhaps a little improved, but
not much. (Loud laughter.) She had nothing
done to her hair ' • that was cut by a lady in
Bond-strest, who had attended to it for the last
sixteen years ; no one else ever touched it
(Laughter.) It was all her own—(loud laughter)
—and so was her complexion. (Loud laughter.
She might, however, use a little of the " auriculous')
for her hair now and then, but nothing else. (Loud'
laughter.) She had never borrowed a shilling from
Madame Rachel upon an I 0 U. She could not
deny that the paper put into her hand (a receipt
for £5OO from Madame Rachel) was in her hand-
writing, but she could not say how she came to
write it. She knew she never had a shilling from
Madame Rachel by way of loan. Rachel had al-
ways immense influence over her. Another long
list of sums, amounting to £1,660,1was altogether a
fiction, as she had never had a single penny from
Madame Rachel. Another letter, dated George-
street, addressed to Mr. Haynes, asking him to pay
out of the £1,600 he would receive over £l,OOO to
Rachel, and directing him to obtain various bills and
I 0 U's from her, was also in her handwriting, butshe
could not say bow she came to do it. (Laughter.)
Madame Rachel, she supposed, had bewitched her.
She controlled her in everything, and dictated
everything she wrote on paper. She never told
Mr. Haynes that she was about to marry Captain
William Edwardes, her cousin, who was a relative
of Lord Kensington's. The Captain Wil-
liam Edwardes she thought she was going to
marry was Lord Ranelagh. Madame Rachel
never accused her of squandering her money
on her paramour. She was not quite certain about
ordering some shirts at Rogers's ; but she believed
that Maame Rachel and Lord Ranelagh wished her
to select some shirts, neckties, and socks for him.
She now knew Lord Ranelagh was not so rich as
Madame Rachel had stated.
Mr. D. Seymour—That he was hard up for a
shirt ? (Laughter.)
Winess—No ; that he was not rich.
Mr. D. Seymour—And that's the reason you
ordered some shirts for him.
Some letters were here read bearing the prose-
cutrix's signature, in one of which she said her
brother-in-law-was in search of his lordship, that
he had bought a portrait of him, and did not like
his ugly nose. (Laughter.) And in another that
he (Lord Ranelagh knew " the overland route to
her heart"—(laughter)—all of which she said were
written at the direction of Madame Rachel. In
every letter that she wrote Madame Rachel always
dictated, and told her to trust her and she would
never repent it. She had written to the Plough
Hotel to prepare a bed for her and a gentleman,
but she expected the gentleman was Lord Ranelagh,
and that they were both to go there after they
were married, but, like all the rest, that was done
at the dictation of Rachel. She never was in com-
pany with Lord Ranelagh at Cheltenham, but there
was a man there who lived at the corner of High-
street who had cut her hair once or twice, and
Madame Rachel had told her that Lord Ranelagh
had been shaved by that barber. (Roars of
laughter.)

Mr. Seymour reacting a
letter—My dear
William,—lt is very kind of you to take care of
Madame
mymy coowmnb
hannidr—fryioseuttdeo—nctloumdealanugtloitesra)y—which is
Rachel said that ?

Witness--Yes, indeed she did. (Laughter.) I'll
take my bonnet off and show you if you like. (Loud
laughter.)
Mr. Digby Seymour then called upon Mr.
Haynes, the solicitor, to produce a number of
letters of the prosecutrix, but the learned judge
said he should not give directions for such to be
done, as he thought they were privileged commu-
nications.

Re-examined by Sergeant Ballantine—All the
letters referred to in this case were written from
time to time at Madame Rachel's,and were directed
to Captain Edwards, care of Madame Rachel.
She had no notion that Madame Rachel was
keeping those letters. She always left the
letters with Madame Rachel and received
the answers to them from her hands. She had
never during her residence in London received any
communication from " William." Madame Rachel
alwayg said, when she took the letters, that she was
going to see her affianced husband. Sheknew nothing
of the imaginary personages referred to in the corre-
spondence. All was the pure invention of Rachel.
There had been some talk about persons peeping
into the bath ; one person especially had been
coupled with her name.
Sergeant Ballantine—Who was that ?
Witness—Am I obliged to mention the name,

Sergeant Ballantine:l Yes.
Witness—Then it was Lord Ranelagh's. Madame
Rachel told her that in the eyes of the Almighty
Lord Ranelagh was her husband, as he had seen her
more than a dozen times in her bath.
Sergeant Ballantine—ls it true that you have had
large sums of money from Madame Rachel ?
Witness—lt is entirely and totally untrue to say
that I have ever borrowed a single penny from
Madame Rachel. Madame Rachel always told her
that she had placed the money Rho had received
from her at Scott's bank for Lord Ranelagh's use.
The further hearing of this case was adjourned
until to-morrow,

OLD COUR r.
(Before Mr. Justice Lush.)
THE MURDER IN NORTON FOLGATE.

Alexander Andrew Mackay, 18, labourer, was
indicted for the wilful murder of Emma Grossmith.
It will be recollected that the husband of the
unfortunate deceased kept an eating house in
Artillery Passage, Bidhopsgate-street, and that
the prisoner was in his employ as a sort of
general aervaut. On the Bth of May the deceased

woman was found in an insensible state fr. )m ex-
tensive injuries that had been inflicted on her by
some person, and the kitchen in which she v pas dis-
covered was in many places covered with blood.
The blows, it was supposed, had been indictee 1 with
an iron bar or rolling-pin, and the injured wutuan
lingered in a state of insensibility until the 18th of
May, when she died. The prisoner was suspected
from the first, as he was not to be found on thereturn
of Mr. Grossmith from market on the day of the
outrage. Dr. Lubuck attended the deceased, and at
one time thought she would recover, but such was
not the case. The prisoner was then sought for
but without success, and although the police had
been furnished with a photograph of the prison er
all efforts to discover his hiding were unavailin 7..
In the month of July the prisoner was confined In
Maidstone G ►ol for soma petty offence, under the
name of George Jackson, and on the 28th of that
month, one of the warders, suspecting the p i-
soner to be the person accused of murder, asked
him his name, when he repliel " Jackson." lie
was closely questioned, and toll he was
su,pected as being the person who stood
accused of murdering Mrs. Grossrnith, when
he confessed that his real name was Alexander
Andrew Mackay, and he was accordingly sent to
Lnndou to undergo examination. It then appeared
that there had been a quarrel between the deceased
and the prisoner previous to the committal of the
brutal outrage, and from other circumstances be-
coming known, he was accordingly committed for
trial on the capital charge. From the evidence it
appeared that fault had been found by the deceased
with the prisoner for the manner he did his work,
and the ill-feeling evidently led to the terrible out-
rage which terminated in the death of the unfor- '
tunate woman.

The jury found the prisoner guilty, and the
learned Judge passed sentence of death in the most
solemn manner.

A delay of dully fifteen minutes occurred at the polt,
owing to the fractiousness of the Vouralak colt, but even-
tually the flag was lowered to a moderate start, the Lady
Audley filly immediately taking up the running., with a
slight advantage of Waffi Vespasian going on third,
with Vouralak colt fourth, Tyuedalo being a long way in
the rear. The Lady Audley filly and Waffles entered the
bend for borne abreast of each other, the favourite still
lying third. AbJut a quarter of a mile fro :u home, the
Lady Aulley filly was in difficulties, and the favourite
drew up to Wallies, heading hint outside the. distance,
where Honesty ran into second place. Vespasian then
drew gradually ahead, and won in the commonest of
canters by fifteen lengths, the remainder pulling up when
pursuit was hopeless. The Lady Audley fitly finished '
half a length in front of IVaffles, Tynedide was fourth,
Honesty fifth, th Vouralak colt sixth, whilst Cawnpore
