WINDSOR, MARCH 25.

Hannah Lunnun, a remarkably good-looking girl, about
20 years 01(1, complained of one Bartlett, under the follow-
ing circumstances :
Miss Lunnun said on the 2(1 January I went to Mr.
Bartlett's house to ask for a conveyance to Marlow, its bit
cart : he is a member of the Methodist Chapel in Bier-
lane; we breakfasted together before any one else was uP "
in his house ; after which he suddenly threw me down.
I called out and he desisted, but I was much too alarmed
to awake the house. On his promising not to touch me
again, we set off together to Marlow, and during our jour'
ney he made me promise to take no notice of what bad
occurred.

Town Clerk—How long have you known this Bartlett?
—About two years, Sir.
When was the last time of your seeing him before the
assault?—The night before. I had been an innate of his
house for two days previous, during which time be (lit'
not snake any improper advances.
Bartlett here uplifted his bands anti eyes and exclaims'
in a wo-begone voice, " Oh, her statement is all faire. It
is malice, malice ! Oh, the false woman ! It's all through
malice !"

Bartlett then handed over a letter to the Bench ad'
dressed to him from Miss Lunnun, of which the subjoined
are extracts :

he stedfast, for, as our Lord says, "forasmuch as ye do
unto one of these little one., ye do unto me."

The letter concludes thus :
" I should like to go to Windsor again if you thought I
could get work. You could ask your wife what she wool('
charge me a week for lodging, and I would keep myself'
for I should like to live with you if I could, and I refusals
your sister in the Lord. H. Lumturi."
To Mr. Bartlett, Bier-lane, Windsor.
This letter was written to the defendant while complain,.
ant was at her mother's, near Marlow, and about three
weeks after the assault took place.
The MAYOs said it was most extraordinary that a loving
epistle like that just read should have been addressed to
the man against whom the present .serious charge vfaa
made, and that, too, by the complainant, some weeks pito
the occurrence.
Bartlett—" Oh, Sir, the business all riz through malice
and envy."
The Rev. Mr. Pollard, Minister of Bier-lane Chapel, as"
suged the Magistrates that the present charge was, in hig
opinion, totally groundless, and was brought forward ist
consequence of a quarrel which some time since took place.
It was a most shameful and malicious persecution.
Complainant acknowledged that she had not mentioned
the affair to her friends for some days, and not a word bad
escaped her on the subject all the while she was at bee
mother's ! In proof of the violence used, complainant
produced a broken comb and a torn gown.
The MAYOR said that singular as the case was, be,
nevertheless, felt it to be his duty to call on Bartlett to fipa
bail for his appearance at the Sessions, himself in 401., 04
two sureties in 20/. each.
Mr. Pollard and Mr. Bainbridge immediately gave the
required bail, and Bartlett was instantly discharged.
