CASE OF SEDUCTION,

The particulars of the seduction case which we
spoke of the other day, are as follow :—The parties
concerned are Dr. John C. Taylor, and Miss Emily
Greenwood, a Quaker lady of Halstead in Essex.
They both arrived in this city in the packet ship New
York, last week, and put up at the Astor House.

Miss Emily Greenwood is aged 20, and is the
daughter of Mrs. Greenwood, a respectable widow
lady of Halstead in Essex, about fifty miles from
London. Dr. John Cornelius Taylor was an inti-
mate friend and the medical attendant of the family,
(aged 38) and he has abandoned a wife and three
children, disposed of his practice, turned his effects
into money, and come off with about 3,0001. in his
pocket, Miss Emily Greenwood and her sister Eliza
were on a visit at, a friend's in the city of London,
and on their being absent one day making a call in
town, the Doctor, by some stratagem, caused them to
be separated, and when the period arrived for their
leaving London to return home to their mother in
Essex, the Doctor escorted the sister Eliza to the
coach, and when inquiry was made by her respecting
Emily, the seducer's reply was that she would not
return home any more as she was under his protection.

The seducer' and his victim then went down to
Bristol, but not finding any conveyance to New York,
the 3: returned to London and went to Liverpool,
where they secured their passage by the packet-ship
New York, Captain Cropper, which arrived here last
Thursday. They passed as man and wife, were re-
ported such on their arrival, and also on the books of
Astor House.

At Liverpool the brother of Miss Greenwood, who
had been sent down by, the family, saw the Doctor
and his sister, and on remonstrating with the parties,
the Doctor told him that if any noise was made about
it " loss of life should be the consequence."

The family in England, through the agency of the
British Consul here, wish Miss Greenwood to quit her
seducer and return to them. The Doctor has been
arrested, and is now out on bail. The case was heard
by Judge Kent in Chambers 'yesterday morning, and
the matter so rests for a few days longer ; he is to
determine to-day whether he will reduce the amount
of bail or not. When the Doctor was arrested the
other day, the young Quakeress went with him to the
lock-up house in Eldridge-street ; since then they
have gone into private lodgings.

Braham, when acting the part of William Tell,
proved himself so indifferent a toxopholite, that in the
celebrated apple-scene, the arrow had to be discharged.
by someone behind the scenes—Braham of course re-
ceiving the applause. On one occasion, however, the
arrow missed the apple, at which the audience were be-
ginning to titter, when Braham almost threw theta into
convulsions by advancing to the front of the stage and
saying—" Ladies and gentlemen, it wasn't I who shot
at the apple!"
