MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Nov. 6.
(Before Mr. WITHAM.)
William Henry Warren was indicted for inde-
cently assaulting Elizabeth Cuddeford, a child of ten
years of age, upon four occasions.
Rinton defended.

The defendant and his wife kept a school for
children at No. 50, Judd-street, and the prosectvrix
was one of their scholars. The boy's school was in
the parlours, and the girls' school on the first floor,
and it sometimes happened that the girls had to go
down from the first floor to the boys school, of which
the defendant had the charge, to have copies set in
their writing•books ; and, it appeared, from the evi-
dence of the prz.Nsecutrix, that the defendant had com-
mitted the conduct imputed to him on occasions when
she had su gone to the parlours to have copies set in
her book.

The jury being unable to agree to their verdict
in the box were locked up in a private room, and the
Court proceeded with other cases. When the whole
of the business had been disposed of,
The Learned CHAIRMAN sent to the jury to ascer-
tain it' there was any probability of their coining to a
decision, end an answer in the negative having been re-
turned, he ordered the court to be adjourned until
h4ll-past seven o'clock, and the court was soon
empty. Immediately afterwards the jury came into
court, having agreed upon their verdict, but the court
being adjourned until half-past seven, the verdict
could not be taken until that hour, accordingly the
jury were again locked up. On this occasion there
was a slight deviation from the general rule, which is,
that a jury in deliberation shall have "neither meat,
drink, nor fire, candle-light excepted," for on the jury
regaining their room they were supplied with eight
pots of ale, mutton-chops, sherry, sundry glasses of
brandy and water, and gin and water, and pipes and
tobacco ad libitum, with which they regaled them-
selves until the appointed hour.
At half-past seven precisely, Mr. Witham and Sir
Moses Montefiore took their seats upon the bench, and
the jury were brought into court. In answer to
the usual question, they pronounced the defendant
Guilty.
Mr. WiTuAm, addressing the defendant, said be
entirely agreed with the verdict, but be should not
try him upon the other indictment, in which he was
charged with the like offence, the prosecutrix in that
case being also one of his scholars. The sentence upon
him was, that he be imprisoned in the House of Cor-
rection for one year.

The father of the child here applied for the expenses
he had been put to in prosecuting, urging that he was
but a poor working man.
Mr. Wlnum regretted that he had no power to
order his expenses to be paid, the offence being ono of
misdemeanour upon which, ti
Sir MOSES MONTEFIORE, with his wonted liberality,
handed to the applicant a sum which more than
covered the expenses he had incurred.
It was stated that had the defendant been acquitted
on this charge, a number of others, of precisely the
iame character, would have been immediately pre-
t'erred against him.
The Court then adjourned.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
THE EXHIBITION OF 1851.—A young man, under
twenty• one years, named Adorn Young, of respectable
connexions, was brought before Alderman Gibbs,
charged under the circumstances detailed in the fol-
lowing evidence:—
Harriet Richardson, wife of Thomas Richardson,
who lived at No. 21, Ayslum-terrace, King's-road,
Chelsea, said—l am a staymaker, and I went on Fri-
lay, the 25th of October, to Mr. Adam Young, jun.,
,he defendant, in Lower Thames-street, opposite to
the Custom •house, for the purpose of getting a space
eor a counter or table at the Great Exhibition of
1851. Upon going into his office I asked him to
Allow me a space of four feet four inches in the
exhibition for a counter. He wanted me to have
:hree feet, but I assured him that I could not do
with less room than I requested. My object was to
make an exhibition of stays, and I was recommended
to apply to him by a gentleman at Chelsea. I
paid him lOs., the sum he asked for that express pur-
pose. He asked whether the space was required for
goods of my own manufacture, and I replied that it
was. Some person came in then in a hurried manner,
ind they doubled up a piece of paper and thrust it
,nto my hand, and I found it was the receipt pro-
lined. I then went home, and my husband upon
looking at it, said he was surprised that a woman of
flay age should be such a fool as to give my money.
[ paid the amount in three half-crowns, two shillings,
and a sixpence. The understanding was that I was
to have a space of four feet four inches in the gallery.
Ke did not say anything to me about hotel accommo-
iation, or about anything of that description, and I
vas moved out of the room the moment I paid the

noney.
Upon her cross-examination by Mr. Pilcher, soli-
!itor fur the defendant, the witness said—l had ap-
)lied to Mr. Powell, of King's-road, Chelsea, first upon
;he subject, and he advised me to apply to
1, Palace-yard, but he afterwards told me
:0 go to Mr. Young, jun., in Thames-street, were
[ would be saved the trouble of going to
Palace-yard. I understood Mr. Powell to
le a kind of agent to Mr. Young. When I was in
the office in Thames-street there were several persons
there, and Mr. Young appeared to be in a great hurry,
and he tail to me, " Is it a woven manufacture or
one of your own make ?" He never said that he
would apply to the Commissioners fir the space. He
said he would grant the counter, without saying that
he was authorised by the Commissioners to grant it.
tie wanted me to have less room than I asked for,
ind when I told him that less would not do, he said
hat if I paid him ten shillings he would let me have
the counter without taking any further t, ouble.
Tne receipt for the ten shillings, which was signed
by the defendant, was headed, " A. Young, jun.,
Registration-offices, Custom-house Chambers, Lower
Thames-street, No. 402."
Mr. Charles Wentworth Dilke, of No. 76, Sloane-
,treet, said, I am one of the Executive Commissioners
appointed for the purpose of carrying out the objects
4 the Exhibition of 1851. Ido not know the de-
pendant. He is in no way connected with the estab-
lishment. I have heard of the name of the defendant,
but we have no agent who is entitled to receive money,
r who can, under any circumstances whatever, in-
sure any space, and we do not charge for space.
Upon his cross-examination by the solicitor for the
lefendant, the witness said we received a letter,
signed " Adam Young, jun.," the purport of which
was an application for a space for some other party,
`nut it was very irregular. We cannot, of course,
refuse to receive any letters which are addressed to
us, but communications directed to us are irregular,
ind should be made only through the local com-
mittees.

The solicitor for the defendant said that his client,
who was a gentleman of most respectable family, was
placed under the disgrace of being charged with
caving obtained money under false pretences, for
merely engaging in an industrious mode of gaining
a livelihood, by establishing an office connected with
:he forthcoming exhibition. That office -was a legal
registration office, and amongst the advantages which
it held out to the public were the facilities it afforded to
the letting and hiring of lodgings to and for the expected
multitudes from all parts of the world. The plan was
upon the most extensive scale, and the defendant had sent
notices and advertisements of it to most of the conti-
nental cities and towns, so that the most prompt ac-
commodation could be afforded, upon the payment of
a registration fee, to the visitors of London upon the
great occasion. One of the facilities afforded was
chat of obtaining space for exhibition from the local
committees, and the defendant had employed numer-
ous agents throughout this and other kingdoms, with
'he view of supplying the necessary information to
his customers. The supply of such information
,urely justified a charge, and the defendant had pro-
posed to remunerate himself for the trouble of under.
taking to procure the intelligence, without which
there would be great confusion amongst those who
were ignorant of the proper way of proceeding. The
complainant had completely misrepresented the facts
by stating that the defendant had ,taken the money
for the space. The money had been received for the
trouble which the defendant had incurred ; and, if the
complainant should be disappointed ea to the space,
she might apply to the County Court.
The following witnesses were then called for the
defence :
David Lloyd said, I act as clerk to Mr. Young,
jun. lam fully aware of the nature of his business,
and have seen the circulars connected with his busi-
ness, and I never saw anything in them to the effect
that he could obtain allotments of space at the great
Exhibition. I have bad people call for particulars,
and recollect the complainant calling at the office.
She said she had a species of stays to show at the
grand Exhibition, and she wished to get a counter
allotted as a space for it to he exhibited in the build-
i I told her that Mr. Your e, did not profess to
allot any space; that our only business was to apply
the Commissioners to procure space, who them-
selves did not hold out any certainty of an allotment;
and that, as her article was a small thing, the ware-
housing would be nothing; that we also professed to
warehouse articles, for which Mr. Young charged
extra. Mr. Young spoke to the lady himself to the
stale effect in my presence, and said that he did not
profess to obtain space; that he professed to apply
to the local committees for the allotment of space to
opplieants, and apprised them whether the space
would or would not be allotted. We made the entry,
and I handed her the receipt, and she read it and
asked whether that would not admit her free to the
Exhibition. One of U 3 told her " certain'y not," and
that we merely acted as her agents to wake the op'
