RECORDKR'S COURT, CORK, NOV. so.

The entire of this day was occupied in hearing a
trial, which, from the nature of the charge, as Well
as the parties, had excited much interest.
Mr. Thomas Sullivan, an extensive grocer, flour
flictor, and spirit dealer, stood indicted for an assault
upon Jane, the wife of Mr. John Gregory, with in.
tent to commit a Rape; and, in a second count, for
a common assault.

*Mr. CdnNELL stated the case on the part of the
prosecution. The prosecutrix, he said, was the wife of
a Mr. .7qlin Gregory, a chandler, and they were both
persons of respectability. The traverser, Mr. Thomas
Sullivan, resided in Market-smet, where, almost in the
neighbourhood of his own house, he had another to
let. The husband of the present prosecutrix and his
brother•in.law, a person of the name of Cooke, called,
en the 29thcif October last, at Mr. Sullivan's. Sul-1
' livan• did not happen to be at home, and it was agreed
that Mrs. Gregory should go rtnd examine the house.
Accordingly on the next day (friday) between eletan

.and twelve o'clock, she called at

to have a criminal connection with her. It
necessary to repeat the language in which t
position was made, or the circumstances whi
-place, as the Lady herself would descrih
the Jury, as fathers, husbands, and mom' ,
pronounce their detestation of so atrocious
and consign him who could be guilty of it
punishment of the law. He concluded to
the prosecutrix,
Jane Gregory, who* appearance was
tractive, having very handsome features, •

effect of Mr. Connell's statement. She stared
she was 21 years of age, and had been !married •
and ten months. She knew the traveller
was an infant; he had eight or nine children,
wife now living. The witness then went to •
conversation which, she alleged, took place,
which ended in a proposition to her, conveyed '
grossest language, to have a criminal connexii
him. He then asked her to go and-look at the
which she declined, when he caught her, and
h r violently. She asked him what he mw

should kiss her, and struggled and got are,-

raise her clothes, she attempted to screed

half a Minute. At length she opened

covered with the hood of her clo:tk. When
tered the door, her sister, Miss Cooke, seeir
situation, asked her what had happened to her'
said that Sullivan had torn her to pieces. '

year for the house, and that she offered
pounds, but while he was in the act of forth
offered it to her at :30, or even 20 pounds,
she would comply with his wishes.
The case for the prosecution having closed,
Mr. DRXIS addressed the Jury at much Yet

thus brought against him, would be proved '

Ellen NeVille, who sold apples at the door

the house—that he unlocked it and both wen;
shortly after returned, and after that a coy

and Mrs. Gregory came out and parted. W

John Ryan, the porter, swore that he s

and his master some steps below her. He heard
make no complaint whatever.
Miss Sullivan, the niece of the traverser, -
examined. She deposed to the prosecutrir
about the house, and to the traverser going
keya to shew it to her; that they remained
minutes, and in about ten minutes more the
trig came to the shop, where witness and Mrs. Sulli-
van were, in order to get an umbrella which she lia4
left there when'slie first entered ; that Mts. Gregory
made no complaint of ill treatment, and that neither
herself nor any part of her dress appeared any way
discomposed.—The defence being here closed,
Miss Elizabeth Cooke, sister of the prosecutrir,
was examined on the part of the prosecution. She
tented, that when her sister returned home after she

they returned a verdict of Guilty.

ture of the offence, of which the traverser had Uri
convicted, concluded by sentencing the traverser to
