PETTY SESSIONS, AYLESBURY, FEB. 14.

Jane Wright, a girl apparently about 23, the
daughter of a carpenter living at Aston Clinton, a
village near Aylesbury, charged Elijah Thorn, (a
labourer,) about her own age, but who, it appealed,
is a married man. She stated that as she was
gathering wood, Thorn came to her, took her up in
his arms, and carried her into an osier-bed, where he
effected his purpose, in spite of her screams and re-
sistance.
On being closely questioned she said that Thorn
had once before taken liberties with her, but that he
had never gone to the length he bad then done;
he carried her over four osier-beds, and over some
little ditches.
Thorn, in his defence, said that the girl Wright
had consented, and was not forced, and called
James Horwood, who said that he was within
100 yards of the plantation, about two o'clock on
Saturday, and heard neither screaming nor cries of
murder. lie heard Wriglat ask him to tie up a
burden of wood for her.
The Magistrates said that what they had heard
I was-quite sufficient for them to dismiss the capital
part of the charge, but they would go farther into
the case to see whether there was any proof of a
common assault. The facts elicited ea this s2cond
examination were the same as on the first, with the
addition that the complainant has had two illegitimate
children, and that, although she struggled as site
stated so violently, there were DO bruises on her
person. At its conclusion, the Magistrates told
Thorn that he might ask the complainant any ques-
tions he thought proper.
Mr. ARCHER—Oh, you did, did you ? Then
there's an end of the ease.
Mr. ASTIFIELD—IVC cannot do otherwise tnan
dismiss this complaint.

Yesterday afternoon about five o'clock, a
gentleman informed the toll-collector at Waterloo-bridge,
that a deal box was outside the parapet of the brid4e, in
the second arch. The collector got over, and found the
box tied with a cord and nailed down. On opening it,
to the great surprise of a number of Gentlemen whu hail
a9sembled, it was found to contain a fine male child,
perfect in every respect.
