bourhood of Bethnal-green, during. which several per-
sons went up to the shop window of the prosecutor,
and two watches were stolen. •
Several witnesses spoke to the dress of two of the
persons, one of which corresponded with that of the
prisoner, and the next morning be was_ taken at a
public-house about halt a mile from the house whtre
the robbery was committed, and one of the watches
found on his person.
A number of persons gave him a good character, and an alibi
was attempted to be proved.

Jury and prosecutor.
James Aicholas Henry Schalk?», a mariner, aged 28,
was capitally indicted for having committed a rape on
Amelia Niker.—The prisoner stood six feet high, and
looked a very fine young fellow, with a manly coun-
tenance. All women and children were ordere.: to
leave the Court.
As the prisoner came up to the bar, Le addre,sed
Mr. ADOLPHUS, by saying, that the Ikadle cf Poplar
was most material to his defence. He had been exa-
mined before the Magistrate, but not bound over—he
had subi.cenaed him, but he was not in attendance,
Mr. Anocruus said, that be must attend and give evidence.
Mr. Justice &mar then ordered the trial to stand over till the
witness came.

After some lapse of time the witness arrived, and the prisoner
was again put to the bar.
The prosecutrix Was then called, and detailed the

transaction. As she proceeded in her evidence, she ap-
peared to be overcome, and was taken out of Court.
On her return, the examination was pruceedei with, at
the close of which,
Mr. ADOLPHUS rose to cross-examine her. She ad-
mitted in the come of it that a child was in the room
—chat she had begged the prisoner, if lte was a Gentle-
man, to bemire as such; and that she had requested
him to send the child from the room, which I.e did, but
she gave no alarm.
The Jury, who had previously manifested their feel-
lags on the nature of the charge, here requested their
foreman to inform the Court they were perfectly
satisfied, and that they wished the Court to allow them
to Jive their verdict.

ponement until nest Sessions, on the ground of a ma-
terial witness's absence, had been made by Mr. BARRY,
the defendant's Counsel, came on at eight o'clock, sad
lasted until nearly three o'clock in the morning. The

King's Bench, in which he swore that certain articles of
furniture belonging to a person named Mary Lea were
his property, be having purchased them of her, and
paid her for them.

to prove that the allegations in the affidavit were false.
