of the season.

11,1 r. Price, the new Lessee of Drury-lane Theatre,
is busily engaged in preparing a Grand Pantomime,
upon an extensive scale, for the Christmas holidays.
The rival Theatre, aided by Fawcett's industry and
Farley's ood taste, as it relates to Pantomime and
Stage effect, is likewise in a forward state with its
Magical Wand, which, we understand, is likely to
prove a g 4 lucky hit."

25, was indicted for having " conspired with divers other persons
lately at Liverpool, and unlawfully, wilfully, and indecently d"g'

A tail-
ous and uninteresting trial, the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty,
on which the Recorder sentenced the prisoner to be imprison '"

calendar months, and to pay a fine of 501, and to be further im-
prisoned till such fine were paid. ,

I Samuel Banks, an athletic seafaring man, was indicted :or alt
indetzt, 210,1111 t on Mary Duffield, on the 10th of this mouth.
Mr. Putil.tts—Gentlemen of the Jury, you have heard front
the clerk the natal:, of the indictment, and it is my duty to state
to you more particularly the crime for which the prisoner stands
et the bar. I have witnessed,, during my practice in courts of
Justice, numerous charges of this crime, all differing more or lees
in atrocity, but I never heard a case more atrocious than this ; it
is a great thing for the man who stands at that bar that instead of
being indicted for a misdemeanour he is not tried at the Oh!
Bailey for his life; for, if the deta3 in my brief be true, and had
been proved, nothing could have suet,' him from the punishment
of his brutality. Miss Duffield, the pros,,outrie, is a school-mis-
mistreas, living at No. 2, 'York-streCts Commercial-road,
in partnership with a Miss Spencer, and had the
misfortune to take this man into her house to hot°. It will be
necessary to infirm you, that Miss Duffield has o.`te misfortune
which was never yet a crime--I mean that of not being very
rich. She bad in consequence been sometimes in the habit of
taking in persons to lodge. She had known the prisons for
years. She had known his family in Norfolk, and being a teatitic
of that county herself, hail always viewed him in the light;
of a brother. On the 10th of October he supped with her, 'and
had taken something to drink with the prosecutor, who had her-
self taken a glass of rum and water. They had for supper a pot
of porter, of which but little was drank, consequently the pri-
soner oottld not plead drunkenness, as an excuse for his ensuing
conduct. It was ten o'clock, and she reminded him it was time
to go to bed. Miss Spencer, who generally slept in the house, hail

his art, said, " if she is not home by ha.lf-past ten, she will not
come horns at all." She took candle to light him to bed.
Having lighted hint up stairs, she put the candle on
the chimney piece. She said, " Good da:tht, ;"
he bade her " good night," but she found en getSng to the
door, that it was fastened, and that she could not set out.
I shall not tell you what he did, 1 Trail leave that to the pro:seen-
trix. A repetition of such details cannot but be offeusire to
the ears of delicacy and humanity, and I can tell every
one of the prisoner's friends who have been intereging
themselves on this occasion with the prosecutrix, that a
law -process shall be served ou each of them. She said she
would resist while life inspired her, and did resist. Her screams
were heard on the other side of the street by a person who desired
the watchman to break open the floor; but he had km a foolish
notion into his bead that if he did hear the word " murder"
called, he had not the authority. The prosecutrix, however,
by some means got away from his greet), and for the
purpose of escaping from his violence, told him that she
would return and sleep with him. How far that was her inten-
tion, however, her following conduct will show. She rushed into
the street, and, agitated and distracted as she was, went to the
friend's house at Poplar, where Miss Spencer was stopping ;. she
related to them the way in which she had been treated, and
they immediately went to her house, which they broke opeu, and
in which there was no one but the three children. The prisoner
was ultimately taken in some ship, and conveyed to the Manna
Police-office, where the worthy Magistrate acted in the justest
manner. So great was his opinion of the violence used towards
a defenceless woman, that he not only bound the prisoner over in
the safest manner to appear, but also bound over Miss Duffield in
300/. to prosecute.
Mary Duffield confirmed this statement, and described the vio-
lence. He was the last man she would ever have suspected of
such villainy.
The other facts were all proved by different witnesses.
Mr. AnoLenus, for the prisoner, made a most eloquent appeal
to the Jury, in which he did not attempt to defend, but pleaded
the frailty of human nature in extenuation of his conduct.
He was found Guilty, and sentenced to two years' imprisonm ant.
MAY rw HIGII lator,---We arc authorised to
say, that, in a day or two, a full statement of the whole
transaction will be laid before the Public, who, in jus-
tice to the parties, ought to suspend their opinion till
its appearance.
