~!

ms APPOINTED Los -..!Yesterday William
Gelding - was brought to the office, enlarged with
eiolOttly assaulting, anti endeasamring tij earryoff
Elizabeth East from the house of her father, at
Harlington., a village about 13 miles frOnt, Lnn.
don, The. prisoner Went there on ttiondarnight,
and asked to, tee, the, proseentris., wi ielt, rue. re,„
hosed ; be, however, declared he wonitl:natleare
the premises eli,etrpt he did, and at length he agreed.
to be salisfital if he should be allowed to speak to
her in the presence, of the father, which was at
last acceded to, and after the interview the-pri.
goiter, on taking her band to shake, it at parting,
seized hold of her arm, and endeavoured forcibly
to carry his oil the premises, but she resisted, and
by the assistance of her father, her uncle, and
other persons,, she was rescued from him.
The prisoner, on being called upon fur his de..
fence, justified hii conduct towards the proseeu-
aix by saying, he had a right to her person; as
she had promised him marriage, and w atoitiir Wife,
except the 'marriage ceremony. They had Bien
out.usked by bans in Shorediteh, church, and he
was ready to marry her, and she had declined to
go to church with him, without *wiping ,anb
reason. . .
The proseeutrix and her father aeknowledgeil
the defence of the prisoner to be correct, Gut the
girl declined having the prisoner for a husband,
without assigning any reason. The 4agistrati
thought it salicient reason that. she had altered
her mind, and therefore ordered, the pristiher
fwd bail to keep the penes. The wonithale busbind
bore the decision of the Magistrate very compo.
redly in the loss of his intended wife, 'and said be
would find the bail required.
