r. the further invrstigaiioa of die ettriordinary cir-
.- -,szarice of the soldier ben found arith upwards of
~:!,fsf) upon him ; and the' etaraination of the

Cciachnian for a violent assault and outrage upon a
girl in a stable in Duke street, Lincoln's Inn ltclds,
the Oalice was extrentely_crowded among the corn-
paay 'were the Earle, Mountnariis and several other
p:..rsons of distinction, who sat tipOn the Bench with
Mr. 12.1 tan.
Jos'efa Mandy, the' soldier, was put to the Bar. A
person of the name of Bowden claimed the money,
and stated, he had lost a sum
.sintilar to that which

had been found on the prisoner.
Mr. Rees, the Sitting 'Magistrate, observed;-
woul.l be necessary for Boa/den to give an account of
himself, and how he came possessed of the money.

Bowden said, he was a journeyman carpenter,.was
a married Man, that he had been six years saving a
part of the sum by task work ; the remainder was
lent him in his uncle and brother, for the purpose of
taking a pdblic.house ; and, at the time he lost the
money, he was in treaty for the. King's 'Arms public-
house, opposite Shoreditch Church, for which he was
to pay ,C. 51,0, and the fixtures, &c. would amount to
£2OO more. That Messrs. Goodwin and Co. por-
ter-brewers, Mr. Chevering, ale-brewer, au t! a distil-
ler, were to assist hits with the money he was defi-
cient of, on his dealing with them in their respective
bianChes of null. lie had received from Mr. Che-
vering a eSQ note, which answered the description of
the one found on the soldier. Last Monday was the
day on which tie treaty was to be carried into effect ;
he put 4:320 tied up in a red handkerchief, into his
pocket-3n the course of the day he had been with a
great number of persons, whom it was necessary for
him to consult with, and he drank freely, rather to
excess,' so much so, that he had no recollection of any
occurrence that day, after nine o'clock at night—
when he was at his brother's, in Brown's-lane, Spi-
tal-6elds. On Tuesday morning he found himself at
the Three Compasses public lious• Drury-lane, in
company with a girl, and a soldier,—he drank purl
and gin with them, which he paid for—at this time
he had his money ; but the purl and gin overcame
him, and he lost his senses again.
The AVorhy Magi:trate gbserved, he was afraid
he had no recollection on th., subject, and, by his own
acc unt, would suppose he was always intoxicated.—
He alledged he was sufficiently collected, on Tuesday
morning, to know he had his money, and Coat he,
girl, and soldier, went out of the house together, a.ai
he believed the prisoner to b: the same soldier ; but
from that time he did not recollect any thing, until he
found himself, at twelve o'clock or. the same day, in
Drury-lane, where he missed his money, which
brenght him to his senses. He was ashamed to go
holm, or near any of his friends, until Wednesday,
and on making known his loss, he was informed there
was a soldier taken to Bow-street, and a similar sum
had been found in his possession.
Mr. READ ordered the business to stand over for
further investigation.
Isaac Dewberry, the Coachman, was next put to the
bar, who is charged, with several others, wioa a vio-
lent assault npon 7'largatet Wtst, in a stable in Duke-
street, Lincoln's-Inn-fields. The account she gave
yesterday differed materially from that she gave on
her a...tenoance at the office, when the prisoner was
first apprp:-.2;iled ; yet, with respect to the outrage,
it remains just the same. She then stated, she was
servant to lidr! Lumley, who resided at the corner of

Hand-court, Holborn; and that her master had sent
her to hire a single horse chaise to the stable-yard in
,Duke-street. This proved not to be the case ; and
in exi:lanation for her contradictory account, she said,
when she attended at the office the first time, she was
so much agitated in body and mind that she did. not
know what she said. The history of the circumstances
that led to the outrage is as follows :—The prosecu.
trix had left the service of Mr. Lumley between two
and three months past. On Palm Sunday morning
early, she went into the country, in company with a
young woman of the name of Bryan, and in passing
along the road, they saw a number of single-horse
chaises and gigs, and their conversation turned upon
the comfort of riding in them, and upon the nice
charged per clar for them ; one said it was a guinea,
and the other fiftern shillings, and at length they
laid a wager of a shilling which was the price. On
the,morning the outrage was committed, the prose-
eutrix called upon Mrs. Lumley, her former mistress,
to ask her fa• some work. Mrs. Lumley took he;
out with her, and she returned by herseh; and on her
way to her mother's she passed through Duke-street,
when, seeing the livery-stable, she recollected her
wager, and made inquiries of a man who was stand-
ing at the public-house door, the corner of the sttble-
yard, who told her he would take her to his master,
and asked her to have something to drink; she re-
fused, but he said she should have some ale and
brandy, and he got her into the house, and called
for some ale • she refused to drink, and 2ct to.
get on, but the man and some others piev her;
and in the scuffle, the ,table,. with the ale, was up-
set ; the landlord and landlady abused them, and de-
sired that she might be turned out, which was what
she wanted. She was knocked down immediately on
her being forced into the stable, and her head went
against a horse's foot ; the fsnows apologised, and
sent her into the loft, under pretence of seeing their
master; but on her getting there, she discovered he
was not in the place, and was running down stairs,
but was prevented by one of the men being on the
stairs. The treatment she afterwards received deli-
cacy will not allow to be detailed. At length, from
the excessive violence, she lost her sepses, and it is
supposed they thought she was dead ' • for, w hen she
came to herself, she found sbe had been put into a
bye corner in the loft, covered with hay, and she had
hardly strenth to raise herself, and was so unwell
she could hardly move ; she only saw the prisoner
remaining ; he ..ppeared surprised to see her move ;
he made use of a deal of abusive language, and was
driving her out of the stable when the Officer arrived.
Mr. Robinson, the Churchwarden of St. Clement's,
attended, and 'was hound over to carry on the prose-
cation ; as was the Vestry Clerk to conduct it:
