The following account respeaing the charge
'against this Gentleman is extracted from. a Morning
• - paper
We are are concerned to announce that this Gentle-
man, whose name had been kept a secret for some
weeks, .was, on Minday, the 27th of last month,
cumulated fir trial by the Magistrates of a Mice.
Office, -CM the very serious charge of having pro-
cured premature labour, by instruments, on a
yOung woman who had been for some time living
with him. The folloWing are the outlines of the
charge
ag.serts that Dr. - seduced her ;
• that she soon-became pregnant by him ; that after
she became pregnant about loth- months, he pro-
posed to produce abortion by the application of
certain surgical instruments, which he stated .would
not produce so much pain as she suffered by a day's
sickness. She at length consented to submit to
the nperation. He made two or three ineffectual
attetripts at her own house, in the absence of her
mother. Not succeeding to his wish, he desired
her to wait' on him at the barracks, where she went
in the evening. He then made another surgical at-
tempt. She continued to experience great pain
till she was delivered, which was in two days after-
-wards.

,
Her mother stated; that in consequence of the
cries of her daughter, she for Ced open the door, of
her chamber, and on entering, found the Doctor on
his knees, with both hands under the clothes of
the bed, in which her daughter was lying on her
side, apparently in. great pain. "He atterwards
wrapped up his pocket-handkerchief, and put it
into—his pocket. The Do for soon left Ipswich, to
settle in London, and_ her mind being very uneasy,
Miss L. determined totake- up her residence near
trim. She became pregnant by him a second time,
and between the fourth and fitth Month, _ the same
means were resorted to, to procure an abortion.
Dr. Reece was requested to attend her first exa-
mination before the Magistrates. Doctor 11--
declared the accusation to be false. :fire young
Lady, during her different examinations conducted
ber;‘elt with great propriety. In her :rocs-exami-
nation there was nothing like prevarication. She is
is the daughter of a Captain, and has two brothers
Lieutenants in tbr navy. _

Upon the .charge against him, Dr. Roberton was
admitted to bail but not being willing to. stanet
trial, he lately absconded. It appears that he sail-
ed float Gravesend on. board the Pacific. listung-
boat, with a Captain Barnett, on Saturddy. or Sun-
day last, under the assumed natrat of James Bishop.?
The Doctor is about thirty-six years ~f age, ai.d was
14:ely a Surgeon in the Middlesex Militia; he is a
Member, we are sorry to say, of the Royal College
of Physicians, a Lecturer' on Midwifery, and Phy-
s►cian to a publicinstitution at the west coo of the
metropolis. The charge preferred against the Doc-
tor is felony, and subject to the nizhest punishment,
except a capital one.

Holland House, Kensington, the seat of Lord
Holland, is undergoing considerable repair.—While
several men were at work on Thursday upon one of
the staircases, it suddenly gave way, four of the men
tell with it, and were most dreadtully bruised.
One of them is. since dead.
