MARY-LA-BONNE.
Mr. Lockyer, a surgeon, residing in North-street, Manchester-
square, was cha►ged with severely assaulting a young girl, named
Mary Haynes, aged 14. Prom the statement of the complainant,
and that of Mr. John Chambers. v.ho resides in the same house
with the defendant, it appeared, that without any apparent provo-
cation, he attacked Mary Haynes, who was employed to carry
milk about the neighbourhood, and horsewhipped her severely.
The girl's employers remonstrated with him upon his conduct, but
lie bestowed upon them very abusive language. These persons are
in the habit of sending milk-rennet about the neighbourhood. and
in the afternoon after the defendant had committed the assault, he
was observed, by Mr. Chambers, to throw a white powder into one
of the rennet cans. The milk fermented, and was supposed to be
poisoned, when the defendant filled it up with ashes and filth, to
prevent its being analyzed. The defendant ridiculed the whole
affair, and said the girl was ezzessively impertinent to him. He
was ordered to had bail.

Three dashing young men were brought up for "coursing" with
a greyhound, a poor cat, in Grosvenor-place, at the dawn of yes-
terday morning. They having obstructed she watchmen, made
an apology, and paid one guinea each to a Charity, and were
discharged.

limy "Awn, a virago of the " Lady Barrymore" cut, was ac-
cused of plundering the house of Mr. Hinton, thy " Eyre Arms,'
Paddington, of some knives; the cue being proved, the Magistrate
(whom she called a d— old committed her to Newgate.—
She floored the jailer on her way to the lock-up-zoom.

Mr. A1.1.61C. Now, Mr. Manly, you have heard the Charge.
brought against you, what have you got to say ?
The defendant, who seemed to treat the charge very lightly, thew
made the following very itinguLe defence:—es I contest, that ',me
of the young Lady's statement apainst me is correct, pa:tic:ll4of
that part which alludes to my having been seen in the p-ea!ion
scribed by her sister : but the meets are re.:lly these:—Nliss Mordion
ii a young Lady who beats a very gede-tal charac:er in the neigh-
bourhood for levity ; and bearing the., as also that she was a person
that any advantage might be taken of by any designing pr-
am, I did not consider that the Lele liberties which I might take
with her would have been repulsed; and accordingly, when her
sister retired, I took her round the waist, embraced her,und t,rl teed
her upon my knee: it was there, while in the act of kissing her,
she awoutted away, and having fallen on the ft or, while I teas in
the act of picking her up, her sister came to the door, and seeing
the complainant in a fainting fit, she gave the alarm, and a report
immediately spread through the house that I wanted to ravish her.
Indeed, added the defendant, site appeared to be inclined so have
those libetties taken with her that any man felt disposed to avail
hintself of ; and I can take an oath that the position in which leer
sister ober: wed me was fur nu ether purpose than to tate Ler teen
the ground.
Mr. A woe—The complainant distinctly swears that you at-
tempted to cummit the outrage upon her, front which it appears she
only escaped hams the resistance she made. You have disgraced
yourself, Sir, particularly by the defence you have set up, one word.
of which Ido not believe. It was scandalous conduct of a man of
your profession to attempt to take advantage of a young girl, whose
family you visited, in your capacity, under the very roof of her
parents. Under all the circumstance., I shall hold yew to hail in
ewe sureties of .C4O each, to answer the assault with intent to com-
mit a rape, at the Sessions, and yourself in the aunt or ASO.
