OLD BAaEr.

Yesterday the Sessions commenced before the Loaa
MAYOR, Mr. Justice Ls BLANC, Mr. Justice cirameas,
the Recommit, &c. &c. when three prisoners • were
tried, two of whom were convicted of felony, viz.
Mary Chaitman, for stealing a quantity of lace, the
,property, of Mary Coombe, and
Jame: Daly, who was indicted for bigamy. It was
proved, that on the 21st of January, 1793, he married,
at St. Mary-la-bonne church, Rebecca Stapleton, and
that on the 16th of March, 1806, he was marriedat the
church of St. Martin in-the-Fields as a widower, to
Eleanor Owen. widow, his first wife having been
proved to have bees living about a fortnight since.—
' Guilty.
Isaac Deveherry was tried on different counts, first;
with having esslunitted a rape upon the person of
Margaret Weston, the 12th April last, in Duke-street,
Lincoln's Inn Fields, and afterwards with having been
aiding and abetting William Raymond, John Cour-
tney, and others, in a most brutal attack upon her per-
son; too many of the particulars of which having al-
ready crept into some of the public prints, we shall
therefore abstain from giving a single title arstiasevi:
dente of the prosecutrix. ;xl;s4
Thomas Steele, an old man, who is a helper about
the stables, upon account of whose absen.de the trial
was put off last session, was now brought forward.
He .was in. -the lower part of the stable.; he heard
some voices, but could not take on him' o say ,whe.
tiler he heard either the voice of the prisoner, or of
any other person who was said to be implicated' in this
charge. He saw the prosecutrix, but could nor really
remember whether she said any thing or not, neither
could he tell. the appearance of her dress or person
when she came dowts from the lofts. .
Sarah Bates, Ann Gibbons, and Mrs. Mills. descri-
'bed as before the struggling of the girl at the entrance
to the stable, her screaMing repeatedly afterwards, as
before stated, until are became too much exhausted
tby the violence and restraint under which she suffered.
The prosecutrix acknowledged, that in the- bewil-
.dered state of mind which she was in when the offi-
cers came, not knowing but they were men pf the
same descriptiollasthOse which shehad before met with,
she did say to them at first, that Dewberry was not
one of the men, though on the recovery of tier senses,
she pointed him out as being one of them. She also
stated, that at first she had said she was sent.by
master,Nr. Lumley, to inquire the hire of. a chaise,
though she afterwards confessed that she had asked '
the question with a. view to decide a wager between
her and another girl. Thia she accounted for by
stating, that the was ashamed of the manner of -her
having come into conversation with them, and *as
extremely agitated in giving her testimony shortly
after such a horrid transaction.
Mr. Fisher, the surgeon who attended the prosecu-
trix, proved tke violence upon her person, in-a man-
ner sufficiently clear to prove his opinion of her hav-
ing been a virgin until that time.
The prisoner made no defence.
Several publicans from different quarters deposed,
that the prosecutrix was addicted to. tippling, and
was fond of joking with men, but none impeached her
character for personal virtue.
A neighbour of the prosecutrix swore, that she had
known her for two years and a half, had seen her at
all hours of the day, and did not know that she had
ever seen her sober.
The wife of Hatfield who shot at the King some
years ago, was also called to invalidate the testimony
of the prosecutrix-
J. Mills, Esq. of Lincoln's Inn-fields, who is a bar-
rister, gave the prisoner a most excellent character
from his having served that Gentleman many years
in different capacities, but last as coachman.
Mr. Conyers, of Hertfordshire, Mr. Serjeant Man-
ley, and some other Gentlemen, had the highest opi.
nion of his character for deecncy in general ; for his
goodness as a father, a husband, and a servant.
After a very long and minute charge from' Mr.
Justice CNANINRE, who laid great stress on the contra.
aictions of the prosecutrix's testimony, the very high
character of the prisoner, and the evidence against
the character of the prosecutrix, the Jury retired for
nearly half an hour, and returning, pronounced a ver-
dict of—Not Guilty.
The trial lasted from half an hour after ten tillbalf
after eight. General Arabia and several other Gen-
tlemen were on the Bench.
