CEN TRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron PARKE.)
RAPE.—William Camplin, aged 55, residing At n, Ber-
mondsey-street, was indicted for having committed a rape
the person of Jane Matthews, aged 13, on the 30th Decem-
ber last.

Mr. Doane and Mr. Payne were for the prosecution; Mr.
Ballantine and Mr. Robinson for the defence.

The evidence, which cannot of course be published, seemed
to establish the fact that the prisoner had taken the prose.;
cutrix to his own house, and there had given her some gin
and peppermint, and while she was in a state of stupor had
perpetrated the offence for which he was indicted.
Mr. BALLANTINE took a technical objection, which was,
however, overruled by the Learned Judge. The Learned
Counsel then addressed the jury.
Mr. Baron PARKE summed up. and the jury, after a brief
consultation in the box, expressed a wish to retire. They re-
mained out nearly an hoar, and then returned with a special
verdict—" We find the prisoner Guilty of having committed
the act while the girl was in a state of insensibility. He
having administered the liquor to her for the purpose of ex-
citing, not of rendering her insensible."
Mr. Baron PARKE said he would receive the verdict as one
of guilty,and reserve the speciality of the verdict for the con-
sideration of the judges.
Mr. DOA NE suggested a question which his Lordship was
about to put to the jury, but in the minute that elapsed
during the entering of the verdict, and the suggestion of the
Learned Counsel, one of the jury, a Mr. Hobkirk, bad vanished,
and although criers were sent out in every direction, he was
nowhere to be found. His Lordship was, therefore,unable to
put the question, and the verdict was entered as given in.
The prisoner was afterwards brought up for judgment, and
sentenced to transportation for life, Mr. Baron PARKE ob-
serving. that he would reserve the objections raised in his
case for the consideration of the judges, but he could hold out
no hope to him of any avoidance or commutation of his
sentence.

During the course of the day, the grand jury came in and
presented the last bills, and at the same time they handed
up the following presentment:—

" GTaild Jury-room, Old Bailey, March 7, 1845.
"Thu grand jury, now sitting at this court, beg to present.
that it is their opinion the police-officers have uniformly
given their evidence in a manner highly satisfactory to the
jury, bat that the police force, particularly in the neighbour-
hood of Bethnal-green, appear to have very much neglected
their duty, in allowing beer-shops and public-houses, som•
of them having concerts and balls, to be kept open at unseason-
able hours, in several instances as.late as two in the morn-
ing; to iich the grand jury attribute many of the crimes
brought before them, and cannot therefore separate without
calling the attention of the proper authorities to this fertile
source of crime and depravity. They further beg to express
their extreme regret at seeing so many juvenile offenders
committed for trial to this court, as it is the unanimous
opinion of the jury, that in many cases summary convictions
would have a more salutary effect upon their future conduct
than being associated in prison with more hardened offen-
ders, by which their education in crime is completed, and the
object of punishment, the correction of the offenders, is in
most cases defeated, and they are turned loose upon society
worse characters than before.
" The grand jury cannot too strongly express their opinion
that the facility with which pawnbrokers and marine store
dealers often purchase suspicious property from persons they
do not know (often mere boys and girls), is highly reprehen-
sible, as affording thieves a most ready opportunity of dis-
posing of their booty, which operates as a direct encou-
ragement to bad characters. The grand jury further present,
that it would be highly desirable if means could be adopted
to trace stolen property to the receivers, who are, in the
opinion of the grand jury, in many cases, more criminal than
the prisoners, and should also be indicted with the thieves.

(Signed) " W. NEWTON, Foreman."
Baron PArcKE, in reply, said that, as regarded the latter
part of the presentation it was a question for the Legislature ;
and that, with respect to the former part, the magistrates of
Surrey and Middlesex should receive due notice of it.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,
MARLBOROUGH-STREET _ _

Mr. Charles Green, the individual who was found lying in
a mews bleeding and insensible from a wound an ►is head,
which he had received from two cabmen on Saturday morn-
ing, and who was saved from being plundered of Ma property
by the timely arrival of the police, came to this Court to
make an application to Mr. Hardwick in relation to the fur-
ther proceedings against the num John Stock, in custody on
the charge.
Mr. Green said, although he had sustained great injury,
he was reluctant to expose his character to that damage
which he feared must ensue by a correct relation of all the
circumstances attending the case. Ile had been drinking
rather freely that night, and that circumstance, no doubt, had
been noticed by the cabmen, aed had been made use of as a
means to induce him to treat them with liquor. The fact of
his having condescended so far as to treat men so much be-
neath him in station, was in itself so disgraceful, that he
feared, if generally known, it might have a prejudicial effect
on his present situation. He was anxious, under these cir-
cumstances, to have the magistrate's opinion of the most pru-
dent course for him to take.

Mr. llAntmlex said the man in custody had been charged
with a most serious offence. It was nothing less than that
the prisoner, in company with another man, had meditated
robbery, by using violence which might have had a fatal
termination.

Mr. Green said he had not the slightest doubt that the
cabman and his companion followed him up the yard with
the view of robbing him.
Mr. Ifs.nowicic said the security of the public streets, at
all hours, was the first consideration, and it ought to be the
duty of every well. disposed person to contribute towards that
security, and to punish all violation of that security by all
means in his power. Undoubtedly the applicant might con-
sider that his private feelings were liable to be wounded at
coming forward to give evidence against the offenders, but
then the applicant must recollect he had a paramount public
duty to perform. The best advice he could give to the ap-
plicant was to assist the attainment of public justice by a full
and unreserved disclosure of all tht circumstances connected
with the affair.
Mr. Green said no one was more desirous than himself to
sae justice take its course, and he should therefore adopt the
course which had been so kindly pointed out to him.

the provinces as he ever has been in the metropolis. His
allied to a rich and full voice, are gifts so rarely met with
that no surprise need be expressed in the enthusiasm with
which Mr. Russell is everywhere greeted. His melodies,
descriptive of the negro character, are given with great truth
and nature, and the singer must have studied very closely
the habits and eccentricities of this amusing class of the
genus homy. Mr. Russell is a first-rate proficient upon the
pianoforte, and his great command over this instrument, upon
which he accompanies himself, adds considerably to the de-
light of all who listen to him. He is expected back shortly
from the provinces, and will then resume his concerts at the
Hanover-square Rooms.
TROTTlNG.—Yesterday, a match to trot two miles
in seven minutes was decided on two miles of road between
Paddington and Islington. Mr. Harris was the owner of the
horse, and the match was to trot in harness for 101. The
horse broke, and was pulled in twice during the distance
and lost the match by 38 seconds.
