hear the word " murder !" called. Was about three hun-
dred yards from the spot.
Charles D..Pattisou, constable, apprehended the three
prisoners, and found conclusive evidence of some violence.
That evidence only affected Ryan and O'Connell.

Eleanor Godfrey, an unfortunate female, deposed that
ou the night of the occurrence she lived servant at the Royal
Oak, Chatham, and saw the prisoners Ryan and Norton
together in the tap-room. They went out at about a quarter
before ten o'clock. They went down Chatham-street, in a
direction for Fort Pitt. Ryan afterwards came back to
the house at about three minutes to eleven. He then
seemed out of breath, very hot, and scarcely able to speak.
Richard Wells, serjeant-major, deposed that the prose-
cutrix had pointed out the prisoners in the ranks.
The case for the prosecution being closed, the prisoners
were called upon for their defence.
Ryan said that he knew nothing about the transaction,
as he went home drunk at ten o'clock.

O'Connell stated that he was walking with Norton up
Heavyside-lane, and saw the prosecutrix. She asked him
if he had any money, and he replied that be had only six-
pence, which he gave her. He was only intimate with
her by her own consent, and she did not cry out till she
saw somebody coming. Norton walked on.
Norton confirmed O'Connell's statement.

Elizabeth Skeer re-called and examined by the COURT--
Never said to the witness Goddard that she would not
have cared if they bad not used her so roughly. Never
laughed when she told her of it, or had any previous ac-
quaintance with any of the prisoners. The shilling was
the first money offered to her.
The Learned Judge summed up the evidence, and the
Jury, after some hesitation, acquitted Ryan of the capital
offence, and of course the two others for assisting.
Thomas O'Connell was then indicted for the assault,
with intent to commit a rape. The same evidence was
adduced for the prosecution. The prisoner called his late
fellow prisoner, Norton, as a witness, and, after crossing
himself as a Catholic, he told just the same story as on his
defence, and added that neither himself or Ryan was at the
Royal Oak on that night. They did not know the girl
Godfrey.

The Jury, however, found O'Connell Guilty ; and the
Judge reflected in strong terms on the guilt of all three.
Norton had added perjury to his guilt. No one ought to
reflect on the prosecutrix for what she could not help, and
he considered her without blame. He concluded, by sen-
tencing Thomas O'Connell to 18 months' hard labour in
the House of Correction.

Samuel Page was indicted for assaulting, with intent
to ravish Mary Helleker, at Stalisfield in this county._
Acquitted.

T.kTTERSALL'S.-Auu. 20.

The attendance was both numerous and respectable, and
the betting tolerably heavy. Mameluke has become de-
cidedly the first favourite, at 7 to 2, at which he left off.
Granby closed at to 1, at which odds he was backed to
a considerable amount in the early part of tile day ; at the
close, however, no one would take them. Sancho jumped
up from the outside, and found plenty of backers ; why
he rose so high we cannot tell, unless it is his having been
defeated last year in the only race he ran. Reviewer also
made a spring, and was backed at 28 to 1. The others
have not experienced any material alteration.—At a little
after six o'clock the room closed, when the odds for the
St. Leger were as follow :
