GUERNSEY.

ROYAL COURT, OCT. 29.
THE KING V. ZOYFANY.

This was an action instituttciaTai,st Mrs. Cecilia C.
E. Zufrany, wife of the Rev. Mr. Horne, fot having con-
cealed Laura E. Horne, her yrungest d tughter, ag 'lust
the sentence of the Court, which ordered that the said
L. E. Horne should be given up on tl'e Ist of Sept.last
to the said Mr. Horne, her father.
Saturday the 22d inst. Mrs. Horne was produced at the bar to
be tried, but owing to the absence of two of the witin:sses, the Crown
Officers demanded a week's delay.
This day the prisoner re-appeared ; the Court was crowded to an
excess, in order to hear this novel and interesting trial.
The following witnesses were then called and sworn—
Mrs. Lihou.—Mrs. Ile lived at my Lowe. The
police placed two guards to watch over the child that it
might no: he taken away. I heard the chi' l's voice on
the night of the 30th t,f August ; the child was to be
given lip to the police on the following day. If was
impoAble f.r the child to absconctivitriont the know-
ledge of the mother. Mrs. llorise fish never offeled me
anything 10 COIiCCAI the child.
S. Toy and A. Gallienne, who were placed% as guards over the
child, could not account 1.. r its absence.

Peter I.illoo said tle vvas offers l 1501. by Mn. Horne
to conceal the child, %%hid, he 'Owed. lie wentinS.trk
ar the request nt the pus net, to ask Joe to t Ace the
chid, t(4- %a tilt h *lout key he received Ws. raom le r.
Aliss Litton devo ed to :1.1.-ing heard the child's voice
on the night c.l the 30th of Attgu,t. She apotehendeti
something. w rt ned the gig iris, as ti,e latch of Mrs.
llorne's bed-room door had been taken i•ff. She (I,,es
net knew how the child was cdriied away, but the
mother must havo asti..ted.
(Mrs. Horne, during the evidence of the witnesses, male several
remarks, and was repriiiiandai by the President).
A..trocitte Caine, Mho pleaded for Mrs. Horne, stated
that t'lis case was novel and solitary on the records of
this i4ind—that a flaw appeared in the action, as it
Should have been enteied differently, and hoped the
Court would take the whole into cmsiJerati.m—and
that the evidence produced was not to the point, no
person having seen Mrs. Horne assist in the child's flight.
Mrs. Horne then addresbed the Court in the following manner:

" GENTLEMEN—It is not as a guilty woman, not as
a supplicant for mercy, that I appear at your bar this
day. I present myself before you with that tranquillity
of-soul which ever accompanies those who are void of
offence ! The officers of the King have charged me with
crime as guilty of contempt towards this honourable
Court. This, in fact, is the foundation of the present
action against me; but I trust to prove, in a few words,
the falsity of this accusation. In fact, Gentlemen, so
far from a failure of respect, I protest I feel towards
you the greatest deference; for can I be ignorant that,
as rept esiooatives of our Must Gracious Sovereign, you,
are here to hold, with impartial balance, the scales of
Justice But I must be allowed to inquire of this Cour
Royale how they could possibly construe into a disre-
spect towards themselves the firm refusal of a mother
to submit to a separation from her child? The law of
Con—the law of nature—fin bids it ! Are they not to
be allowed their irresistible claims ? Gentlemen, had the
King. my master and yours, demanded at my hands so
cruel a sacrifice, I had refused to tO,.ey I ‘VrOsout doubt
you are los equitable to mistake for contempt of your
laws, th it matern tl affection olricla is written by the
hand of Nature, in ineffacrible characta.s upon the heart
of a fond mother ! It commands her to sacs dice all sooner
than suffer her child to he torn from her arms! I trust
I have now proved I am guiltless of the supposed
crime ; and I am satisfied that this Court w ill feel
happy in being spared the painful as well as novel si-
tuation of finding itself at once the accuser and judge!
I now proceed, Gentlemen, upon the same grounds, to
prove that I did not violate my word ; and that you
,cannot, withont injustice, punish me for the disappear-
ance of my little girl. Surely, Gentlemen, you cannot
forge:, when p tying my distress, you did honour to'
your own kinuly feelings by assuring me that I should
be free from Vie surveillance of the police, if I only
pledged my honour for the safe delivery of my child on
' the day you should appoint. When I look around this
crowded Court—when I recall to my mind the false
representations which some (to answer their own mer-
cenary purposes) have industriously circulated—l feel
it an imperious duty to aga'n repeat the answer I then
made to you ; it was to this effect Gentlemen, I
thank you for the confidence you are willing to place
in my word of honour. I will instantly prove to you I
deserve your good opinion. I will not forfeit my in-
tegrity : though, by so doing, I might secure to myself
the child I value more than my life! Ask your own
hearts—look back to history—And tell me, did you
ever hear, or read, of a woman who deserved that
name, that would nut for her lover!—husband !
(or, what is far more dear, her child)—brave all
dangers? Place, therefore, what guard you plea,e;
for, as I live, wire it in my powtr, I would win
my way with her through ten Os )usand guards!!'—
Such was my honest answer, Gentlemen, in the hour of
distress, anguish, arid agitation. You know it was. It
is net only of you, but of the public, I demand if my
oath on this subject can now be doubted ? flirt I do
not wish to dwell longer upon this incontiosoo able
point. 1 feel the conviction, that what 1 have offered
to your consideration has penetrated all hearts, root I
see confusion and shame covering the countenances of
my calumniating slanderers. In Etc •, Gentlemen (merely
by way of argument), we will suppose, for an instant,
.hat an all-merciful and divine PROVIDILNCE granted to
my earnest prayers an ark of safe:y, in which the child
of my tenderest affection was wafted to a land of secu
city, could you, with any semblance of justice, punish
me ? Did I accept the charge of her ? No; you
know I did not, Gentlemen. By your orders, both me
and my daughter were surrounded night and day by
the police. If, thatfore, you deem me worthy of
punishment, for having so well fulfills! my duty as a
mother, why do you not reward those who so car eleoly
performed the character of guardians? I trust that Oleo e
needs no further argument to prove, Ist, that I nes er
agreed to pan with my child ; 2dly, that I never
offered the slightest disrespect to this Court; and idly,
above all, I am sure that there is not the slightest occa-
sion to remind you, that I have already, only on sus-
picion, suffered above two months' incarceration! I am
certain there is not one present who does not feel that

[PRICE SEVEN. PENCE.

the punishment has far exc.•eded the supproed fault. I
will not state to you what I have endued in the past
two horrible months of imprisonment. My aim is not.
to excite your pity, much less your compassion. I ask
no favour; I claim only justice. Gentlemen, I doubt
not I shall find it."

The ATTORNEY-GENERA[. could ttat avoid stating
that the action against Mrs. Horne should have been
entered in a different manner, and produced seteral
precedents in support of his arguments; but declared
thAt Mrs. Horne could, notwithstanding, be tried on
the accusation which was clearly proved against
The Learned Gentleman then proceeded io examinfthe
evidence, and declared that the prisoner was fully con-
victed of disobeying the orders of the Court ; but that,
under all the circumstances of the cast, taking into
con,ideration the long incarceration she had already
sustained, co eluded that she should be confined a
fortnight, and condemned to the costs.

The COMPTROLLER, in a long and able speech, which
lasted upwards of one hour, produced several laws
which forbad the tasking away of children from the
hands of justice; that the child in question was in the
hoods of the Court, but that at the request of the pri-
soner, the Coutt granted her indulgence, and ordered
that the child should be given up on the Ist of Septem-
bet last; that he was not for granting that indulgence,
as the Conic should have given up the child to Mr.
Horne, the father, but the Court did not think proper
to adept his conclu,i:lns. He therefore contended that
Mrs. Horne was guilty of contempt of Court ; that the
evidence produced was ♦ery satisfactory and beyond
doubt—and concluded that Mrs. Horne should be
imps isoned for a fortnight and condemned to the costs.
The Penmen. baying summed up the evidence, and dwelt upon
the nature of the offence of which I‘lrs. Horne was guilty, the
Court condemned her tts fifteen days' imprisonment, and the costs.
