TUESDAY.

THE REV. - LEWIS V. LEWIS.

This was an action brought by a most respect-
able clergyman, residing in this county, to recover
a compensation in damages from the defendant for a
very serious injury which he had sustained by means
of a ferocious dog belonging to the defendant.
The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Da-
mages 40s.
Rickard Radnor, a respectable-looking man, was
indicted capitally, charged with having feloniously
assaulted Elizabeth Barnett.
Mr. JUSTICE conducted the prosecution. •
Elizabeth Barnett said she was 13 years of age
last month, and was then in the service of Mrs.
Davis, of Lawrence-court. The prisoner • was a
married man. On the Bth of July, at eight o'clock
in the morning, she was sent out to the Red Barn-
field to bring up the cows. Ott her return she met
the prisoner ; he asked her the way to Ragland;
she replied she did not know it. The prisoner then
took hold of her and dragged her into a field. She

cried out as loud as she could, but he put his hand

over her mouth, and then accomplished his purpose.
The prisoner after that called her back, as ehe was
running away, and said he would give her some
money. She continued to run away, and when she
got home told her mistress what had happened, and
described the dress of the man who had ill-used her.

He was a total stranger to her. She is sure the'
prisoner is the man.
Cross•exa►nined by the prisoner—She did not
consent. A girl named Susan had asked her what
the prisoner had been doing to her, and she told
her he had done nothing, as she was ashamed to tell
her. She did not tell the prisoner her master would
be coming that way.
Mr. Luke Davis said he lived five miles from Usk,
and the prusecutrix had lived in his service about
three weeks. In consequence of what the girl said
about the Bth of July, he went to the field she had
de,cribed, and there saw a track in the grass, and
went in pursuit of the prisoner, and overtook him
about six miles off, just as the girl had described
him. He said to the prisoner " You are a nice fel-
low." The prisoner replied " What have I done ?"
Witness said " You have met with a girl this morn-
ing," to which the prisoner replied that he did not
hurt her. Witness then told him he must go back
with him, and the prisoner returned without any re-
sistance.

Another witness proved that she had examined
the girl's person, and that there were narks of
violence.

The prisoner in his defence said the girl had con-
sented to all that took place.
Mr. Davis, on being recalled, said he heard the
girl say that she did tell the prisoner she would be
quiet if he would not hurt her. Mrs. Davis could
not attend, in consequence of severe illness.
Mr. Baron VAUGHAN then summed. up the evi-
dence, and the Jury found the prisoner Guilty.
His LORDSHIP immediately passed the awful sen-
tence of death upon him.
