These !Wises wee concluded by a.ttial 'Whch 4x-
eip4 atiseat deal of interest ;monist the most res pect-
. able. people of that part of the country. It was an
actioq,c4 damages brought by an eminent solicitor

Mr. PaAßana stated the case...for the plaintiff, who,
he said, was well known in that part of the copntry
y a gentleman of high honour and respectability.
Nepal years ago this gentleman was married to a
' •Kolewe lady of greatheauty and accomplishments by
wen! be.had a very numerous family. Most of the
chaideraunfortunately were females ; bet it was not
matilletety that their father had to regret that they
wipe of that sex, for until . the defendant beean e an
intaite, they had a mother to whose protection aid
ems& .they could look with confidence, anti ia
wbg.• solicitude they bad seen the most undoubted
',ideate of an. attachtuest, not to be destroyed ie
divided. The miserable change which had takes gape
io the mind of the unhappy mother, by which Asides
neetiag links between mother and child, and wife and
htnibunk were broken, was attributable to a series of
fnentiiii'vontrivances by 'the defendant, who, not.

paid his addresses to her. The prisoner also resides
at Bided',; he is a tailor Itos trail*, and is ustusisian
sbelonging to 41,o‘basd Us. Bey.) Ccarnqralliiilitia.
On the evening of Thursday the 37th of April last, she
►vas out taking orders for work, and met two young
women of her acquaintance with whom she went towards
their home,. wbieh is in the western part.of the town.
About half-past nine o'clock they met the prisoner,
.who after some converratian said as he was going home,
and as her father's lay iu the same direction, he would
see her home. On this she bid her friends good night
and tamed towards her father's. The prisoner asked
her to take a walk with hint ; she at first refused. but
as he told her he had something to say to her, she was
induced to go. They went down Brewery-lane, and
into Love-lane. The prisoner charged her with speak-
ing disrespectfully of him, and asked her to sit down
by him on a bank, as she had done before. After sit-
ting a few minutes, shoe got up with an intention to re-
turn home:—when she had got a little distance, the
prisoner caught her in his arms and threw her down,
she struggled and g►ot up again, hut he threw her
down a second time, and notwithstanding all the re-
sistance she could make he egeeted his purpose. There
was a house at son►c distance; it was something farther
from the place where the outtage was committed than
the length of the hall in which they then were. She
afterwards endeavoured to go home, lout the pelsontft
took hold on her arm and would not allow tier to leave
him,—he detained her for half an hone.

Here Mr. B %%lora ui tAI interpo,ed, and addressing
the Jury said, that however lamentable the case before
them was, he was bound to state that the prisoner could
not be convicted on the evidence given. He did not
wish to say any thing unnecessarily to wound the feel-
ings of the unfortunate girl ; hut as the alleged out-
rage was committed so near the town, it WAS evident
that •he could have raised an ontcry that %could have
brougLt her assislanre. It was also impossible to be-
lieve that •he could have been detained by the pri-
s,mer„in a pnhlic way. for half an hour after having
received sprit an:injury, had she felt as she ought on
the occasion.

The Jury returned a verdict of—Not (laity, and the
prisoner was ordered to he. discharged.
His Lordship, however, called him hark, and said ha
could nut allow him to leave that plaet: without most
seriously .recommending it to him, to mai,e reparation
to-che nof wtnnate young woman fur the t teat injury
he had dune her.
