immediately after his confinement, .and raw no ap-
pearance of any such complaint as that which the
last witness had attributed to the defendant.

Mr. DyneAs then commented upon the circum-
ottani:es whiCh had beets left unexplained in the case;
the sudden departure of Sarah Dilly • and the rapid
succession and eternal variety of the plaintiff's female
domestics.
Mr. M. Clark and Mr. William Priest then spoke
to the defendant's character : and the Rev.Jobn Day,
who keeps a day-school in Orange-court, Leitester-
square, and has done so for twenty years, bore wit-
ness` to the good conduct of the defendant at the
time when (from nine o'clock till twelve, and frcm
two till five) the enjoyed the advantage of Mrs-
Day's tuition.
The LORD Carer Jusiree, in summing up the
evidence, directed the particular attentsob of the
Jury, not to the charge of rape, whether disproved
or not, but to the specific charges contained in the
indictment before them. In cases of perjury, the
law required the evidence of two witnesses ; and,
therefore, upon that assignment which regarded the
peculiar malady, the case was not made out; for one
withess only (Mr. 'Brodie) had been called. Upon
the second point, that she remained in the house of
the plaintiff from the 29th of July to the 13th of
August, the Jury must collect from the evidence
which had been read to them (the evidence of Han-
nah Whitehorn upon the trial), whether she meant
to say that she-all that while continued in hishrave,
without going out, or that she only remained in his
service. Upon the cross-examination, it had aelpeared
that shit admitted, without hesitation, that she h:-.1
gone out of the hopse. Upon the third point, that
she had not, between the'29th of July and 13th of
August, had an opportunity of disclosing the injury
of which she afterwards complained to her. mother,
the Jury were to form their own opinion. It was to
be observed, however, that the daughter was living
at Chelsea, and the mother at Charing-cross; that
there was no proof that she had, in fact, ever seen
her mother; that there was no proof thar the had
ever been absent, durinrany length of time, from
her master's house;• and that; although If she had
pushed her opportunities to the Utmost, she. certainly
might have seen her mother; yet that, in speaking
Of !, no opportunity" at the trial, she might have
meant no opportunity which she considered a fair
and proper opportunity, inA that there was no procf
'that any opportunity .hWrotcaried which a gill

to topsider in that light. '
The Jury, without laesitation, found the defendant
Nit Guilty.
BOARD OF EXCIS£

Mr. Julies Thomas, a respectable malt salesman
and warehouseman, appeared to complain of the
duty on 520 quarters of maiti and to pray for the
return of the duty which had been paid on the same,
on the ground that it had been destroyed by fire.
It appeared from the statpment of a number of
witnesses, that 640 quartersvf wheat were sent from
Stratford, in Essex, to the warehouses of Mr. Tho-
mas, in Shad Thames, which were entirely destroyed
by fire on the 27th of February, on which occasion
immense quantities of grain were destroyed, and,
amongst the rest, 520 quarters of the malt which had
been sent from Stratford, on which it was proved
that a duty of 28s. per quarter had been paid, and
of Which the complainant now prayed a return.
After some discussion, the Board adjudged that
the whole gfthe duty which had been paid on the ar-
ticle proved to have been destroyed should be re-
tutted. The amount of the duty was stated at £723.
