tion would better enable him to prescribe for her
and there was nothing to fear from a respectable me-
dical gentleman. At her next visit for medicine the
prisoner attempted twice to kiss her, but she would
not suffer it,and again told her her husband. Her husband
said he did not think the gentleman meant any harm,
he only wanted to seem kind and gain her confidence,
that she might not be alarmed when he attended her
'by and by. On Wednesday last the prisoner came
up to their lodgings at No. 1, Lauderdale-buildings,
Aldersgate-street, and asked her husband to mend his
coat. Her husband took it into the next room to re-
pair, and while he was absent the doctor asked an in-
decent question which she did not understand, till she
repeated it to her husband. He told her to call atthe
surgery next day. On that occasion he pushed against
her several times, and expressed surprise that a little
woman should have become so large. He pulled open
her shawl and kissed her neck, and asked when she
was alone. She said she generally worked in a room
by herself.
Mr. Alderman FAREBROTUER asked why she told
him when she would be found alone ? She replied,
he put the question and she answered it according to
the truth, that she worked alone in the evening. He
said he would come and see her in the evening.
He came at seven o'clock on Friday evening. lie
asked if she was better. She told him she had
a pain in the back. He put his hand under her
clothes. He told her to sit down on the edge of the
chair, and he knelt down and partly undressed him-
self. When he exposed himself she called him s
villian, and gave him three blows in the face. The
noise brought in her husband and another man, who
were at work in the adjoining room. They saw what
state the doctor was in.
The prisoner, who is a staid looking man, of 45
years of age, declined cross-examining the witness.
Jeremiah Driscoll, the husband, stated that he
heard his wife call out, and found Mr. Bowden endea-
vouring to button up his trousers.
Mr. Alderman FAREBROTHER asked, if he knocked
the prisoner down or thrashed him well? The hus-
band said, no.
The Alderman observed, it was a great pity he
had not done so on the instant.
The husband said he was afraid it might cause the
death of his wife if he began to fight.
Michael Murray, a tailor, confirmed the husband's
statement, as to their finding the prisoner trying to
button up his trousers.
The policeman, George Russell, said the prisoner
admitted to him that he had been talking foolishly to
the woman.
The prisoner said he did not suppose she would re-
peat to her husband any trifling expression he might
let fall ; but much of the latter part of her statement
was untrue. If a button had slipped out of a button-
hole, that was merely an accident.
Mr. Alderman HUNTER, after conferring with Mr.
Alderman Farebrother and Mr. Alderman Challis,
said he had the power to impose a fine for the assaults
but he thought the ends of justice would be better
served, and the public would be better protected, by'
requiring the defendant to find bail, himself in 801 e
arid two sureties in 401. each, to answer the charge at
the sessions.
Mr. Alderman FAREBROTHER said he concurred is
this decision. The rich could protect themselves;
but the poor must be fully protected by the law. ,
The prisoner not being prepared with the require('
bail, was committed to prison.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Messrs. Wessell and Stapleton, music publishers, of
Frith-street, Soho, were summoned before Mr. Hard'
wick, under the Co-}yright Act, at the instance of Sir
Henry Ellis, principal librarian of the British Mr,
seum, for having neglected to supply certain copies of
their publications for the use of the British Musetun.
In the Copyright Act there is a clause which obliges
.publishers to supply, gratuitously, copies of works thel
may publish to certain public institutions, amone
which is the British Museum. Any party failing ,
serisl these publications regularly is liable to a fine of
51, to be recovered on application to a magistrate.
Me. Pejne attended for the plaintiff.
It was alleged that copies of certain musical pub;
lications—the Turnarin Quadrilles," and other
works—had not been sent to the British Museum.
Mr. Stapleton, who attended for the firm, put
end to the necessity for proof of the non-delivery °I,
the publications, by at once admitting the fact, an
declaring that the circumstance had occurred from I.
desire to dispute the right of the trustees of the
tish Museum to the gratuitous copies of works, all"
from inadvertence.
Mr. Payne said it was important to let publishers,
know that it was the determination of the trustees es;
the Museum to press for the highest penalty agai%
:hose publishers who neglected to comply with Pt
provisions of the Copyright Act; but in the presell.,,,,
case, as tie: defendants had pleaded that the orbssl''
was accidenta:, he should, on behalf of the Waste',
request the magisrate to mitigate the fine.
Mr. HARDWICK infieted the reduced penalty 0f- 75"

From the statement made to the MagistTateferl,
appeared that the prisoner had only been in ti'sn s_o

the purpose of learning his business ; and, as he 'O4,

The habits in which the prisoner indulged were
the.
above his station in society ; he entered into 911 tete
gaieties and amusements of the metropolis, and seelo_a_
to have plenty of money at his command, as he indalGs
in all kinds of extravagance. The prosecutor Julio
every reason to imagine that he was robbed byLI
prisoner, in order to support his extravagance,ei
as the prosecutor was continually missing tjet
from the ti,l, he was deteemined to set a trap lbr,goe

marked several half-crowns and shilling.s, °,d,, of
