posed, as follows :—She stated that her age was 1.5,
that het moth• r lived ad Thiniow, in Suffolk, but she
bad been residing with a.sister in town for three years.
On the }6th of September last she set off from Lon-
don to go borne to her mother, by the waggon. It
*as not the prisoner's waggon, but another. The
prisoner's waggon followed close after, and she saw,
Wm talking toiler waggoner. There was herself and
~..id other yowig women who rode in the front of the
„waggon. About half-past nine, as they were going,
along langsland-road, the twb other young women(
fell off the waggon, and were 1101 much hurt, 110'
that they could not proceed in their journey. Tfies
waggoner went with them to the doctor's shop, and•
hen he went away, be desired the prisoner to looks
"fur his horses; he was gone 'about an hour, and
while he was absent, the prisoner got into the waggon
the prosecutrir, and commenced behaving inde•
gently, andat length violated her person. She went
with the waggon, but did not say any thing to
her own waggoner when he returned. The next
'storming she left the waggon in which she before tra..
walled, and went to Saffron Walden by the prisoner's
limagton. She arrived at home on the Thursday
inorning, the fact happening on the Tuesday night,
and within five minutes after her arrival at her me-
din's, she told what the prisoner had done to her.
On cross-examination by Mr. Auer, she said they
sopped at Hoddesdon, and there were women, to
whom she made no complaint. When she went on
also in the prisoner's waggon there were two women,
and she did not say any thing to them of what had

happened.
The prisoner declared his innocence, and the two
women who were riding in his waggon, said, he got
'into it at the Stone's-end, and did pot get out till
they reached Ponder's-end ; but that his boy drove
the waggon. This was alto confirmed by his boy.
The Learned Judge (DALLAS) told the Jury they
bad been truly and candidly informed by the Counsel
for the prosecution, that ibis was a charge easily
made, and hard to be disprove!. He therefore also
warned them to watch the evidence w.th particular
attention, more especially as this was a case, in which,
if they convicted the prisoner, his execution would
certainly follow. He would therefore detail the evi-
dence verbatim to them, which his Lordship sIU
with great accuracy. The facts to constitute the rape
had been sworn to, and they would say, first, whe-
ther they believed the provecutrix that the fact had
taken place ; and next, whether they believed the
prisoner to be the guilty man.
The Jury withdrew for about an hour, and then
returned a verdict of Not Guilty.

MANSION HOUSZ....CHAttOt OF Taste COIIIIITTk.
Li TOR Jusue.a.anom.—While the LORD MAYOR was
yesterday engaged in acting the routine business, his
attention was suddenly interrupted by a voice which
appealed to him for justice : it proceeded from a
person in the crowd below the bar, who loudly de-
clared that lie was innocent of some offence imputed
to him, and would prove it to any min of understan-
ding. The Loan Mayon having ordered an officer
to bring before him the man who so boisterously as-
serted his own innocence, andthe man who suspected
it, an old man, named Thomas Riley, stepped to the
bar in the former character, and a Mr. Duttingly in
the latter. The complainant said, that as be was en-
deavouring to get to the table, for the purpose of for-
warding some business, he telt a pull at his pocket.
Riley was cps* to him, and seemed, when Mr. Dut.
tingly turned abbot, to be employed in biding some.
thing. Riley endeavoured to prevent any suspicion
of himself, by saying, that the Lord Mayor would
soon scour the streets of all the robbers and' yoga-
bonds. 66 Yes, (said Mr. Duttingly) and be mast
scour the Offices too," and seised the prisoner, who
was shocked at such treatment. The complainant
poled •pen his coat, and took from underneath a
hatidltercf which belled put into his pocket a few i
minutes before. Two Gentlemen stated that they,
saw the complaisant take the handkerchief from the
prisoner. Riley most solemnly asserted his innocence,
spoke of the absurdity of committing such an offence'
under the eery nose of juityce ; and claimed that hie
age and Winer character should be considered a sufl
rodent evidence of .his integrity. He had been, ha,.
said, commander of a ship 22 years ay.; and Ili
though he Was at present unemployed, 1u was 16#1y1
to be engaged as soon act his character was duly eu
timated. The LORD MAYOR said, he understood eel
vestal thefts Of this kind had been committed in his'
latitude. In the application of punishment, the
place in which'the offence was committed, the person
in whose presence is was committed, and the circura.
