CASE OF MISS TURNER.

Thursday afternoon Mr. Wm. Wakefield arrived, by the Defiance
coach, at Stockport, in custody of Barrett, the keeper of the New
Bailey; and the following morning, about ten o'clock, be was con-
veyed before Mr..Legb, at Disney, the Magistrate, who had issued
the warrant, when Miss Turner and her father appeared, and gave
evidence. The yoong Lady gave a minute detail of all the facts,
pretty nearly as they have already appeared ; and Mr. Turner de-
posed to his having landed property, which will descend to his daugh-
ter, and she is, therefore, his heir apparent. This latter testimony
was given with a view to bring the case within the statutes which
make the offence capital.
Mr. Grimsditch, the solicitor, also gave evidence to disprove the
statement made by the Wakefields, that he had advised that Miss
Turner should many Edward Gibbon Wakefield, to relieve her
father from his difficulties.

At the close of the examination, Mr. Grimsditch said- it would
be 'necessary to postpone the final Ist.aring until the Governess from
whose house Miss Turner was taken, at Liverpool, could attend.
Mt. Wakefield, on the other band, pressed for his case to be im-
mediately determined, in order that be might be admitted to bail
(if the charge was bailable) ; and Mr. Davis, a .gentleman of high
respectability, toddling in Nlaceletfield, offered to become bail for
the accused to "any amount.---The Magistrate, hosteveredeclined
taking bail, and adjourned the further bearing of the case till Mess
day, at two o'clock. Mt. Wakoheld was accordingly taken back
&ockport,snd Mr. Harmer, who arrived by the mail just 'after his,
return, visited him in the New Bailey.
