OLD BAILEY, SEPT. 19.

OLD COURT.

The trial of James Coust and Josh. Coltman, for
rape, concluded from our paper of yesterday.
The prisoners, on being called on for their de-
fence, declared they were innocent. Their Counsel
called - Miller, an officer on duty near the toll-
gate, who heard no noise on the night in question,
which he musthuve heard, if " murder" had heeu cried.
Thompson, the headborough, contradicted some
parts of the testimony of Cullender, the constable ;
but he admitted that be did not hear all the conver-
sation between Const and Cullender, when the
former confessed the offence, as alleged by Cullender.

Henry Hammond and his -sister, who were at the
toll-gate when the prosecutrix came next day to learn
Const's name, swore that she was gay, and skipped:,
about as if she was going to a play. They, however,
contradicted each other in a material fact.
Allen Cleland, an apothecary and accoucheur, at
Cock-hill, Ratcliffe-highway, gave an opinion ad-
verse to the conclusion that violence had been offered
to the prosecutrix. His examination had been super-
ficial, and not till the day of the investigation before
the Magistrate.
. Several witnesses gave the prisoner Coast a good
character for decency and moral conduct.
Mr. Baron ViCGUAN summed up in an able
manner, commenting upon the evidence, and its oc-
casional conflicting character. His speech lasted
for two hours.
The Jury retired for about an hour, and returned
with a verdict of " Guilty" against Coast, and
acquittede Coltman. They recommended Coast to

any his youth and his family.
The prisoner Coast protested his innocence. He
symptom of strong feeling
throughout the trial.

At a Petty Sessions held at Devizes a few
days since, three boys, the eldest apparently not
more than twelve years of age, named William,
Charles, and Isaac Raymond, were charged with
trespassing and gathering nuts in the woods at
Urchfont, having been repeatedly warned not so
to do : when the eldest was committed to the
House of Correction for two months, and the
two youngest to the same place for 14 days each.
It is a fact, not generally known, that the Cor-
poration of this city have the power to take from
every butt of beer or, porter imported, a phi (a
measure of four gallons and a half) for their own
use, except where the parties who brew the article
are in possession of the elective right.—
