THE STATESMAN

a British seaman, is not to be discerned by giviing drug°
to an unforomate girl to effect her rein. I manta brief
myself to suppose or believe that be ever was so eater
in that respedbble service, bat was one of those amphi-
hious characters, which by some accident are erasion-
ally obtruded upon our naval and military departments.
In the evening when her sant, Mrs. Grams, west If
look for her ; defendant said, upon his honest she malt
net there; and when she went back again a second Bak
he threatened her with a pistol: when she told her Its
band of her suspicions, and wished to raise the neigh-,
bonrhood ; be told her it would be wrong to do mopes
suspicion, bet be would go himself and ascertain whs.
Idler she was tilera or net. It had been intimated to
Counsel, that the defence to be sea ap was, to prove she
was equally willini\to be seduced as he was to be the
eslimer; hot it would be proved to them is evidence that
she has nil'cr allowed him again to come into her com-
pany, though be often attempted it; and when be could
mot succeed, he endeavoured to defame her character,
and publicly stated that she bad behaved improperly pre-
vious to her connexion with him.Sbe was of irappreach-
able character and conduct formerly, and if he can chew
that she was of that loose character he has stated, I
,challenge him to prove it. If she Is proved to be so,
treat her as such ; but if she has not been so, I call upon
you as men, as fathers, and as brothers, to give the esly
compensation now in your power to her Inland•paean ;
and if the defendant can clear himself of what I hart
been compelled to accuse him, in the elocution Oar
duty—in God's name let him do so.

Mr. Scarves addressed the Jury fir the defendant
la a speech of upwards of an hour, but of which our
limits will only permit the followleg outline :—That
of all cases that can come before a Court or Jury, ewes
of seduction require to be men minutely ezmaieed.
He had no instructions to throw *ay obloquy on this
at:fortunate girl's character, further than what she
herself bad detailed. She says she is only seesaws
years of age; sod It was for the Jury to cousider
whether she did net appear older. The dere:Waal is
