It will be recollertedt that at the Dorsetshire Summer
Assizes. 1818, James llowditch, and aloe other per-
sona, were convicted of a rhasp'ra v before ble. Justice
Park, to take away by force a young Lady named
Made Mum, a native of St. 1 lucent's, is the West
Indies, ituß then under the guardianship of their mle,
Mr.Tuclett,a prim ;ncial llarrister, residing at Taunton,
its Somersetshire, in order to compel her to marry James
' Powditch. In the Michaelmas 't eriti following, the de-
fendants moved for and al:lL:hied a rule to shew rause a by
a new trial should not he granted, founded upon affi-
davits tending to skew that there was DO force justly
itoputed.aid that Miss therm had willingly consented
to. the elopement, although the marriage was intend-
s' to be effected without the knowledge of her /Oar
dials. From the facts ilischised on the trial, it appear-
ed that is ISI7. Mr. Tuckett had removed Miss lilt on
Iris ward, to the house of a wid,,w lion-ditch, distant
about a agile aid a half f Taunton, for than;. of
and removal from the hooping cough infection
which Urea allicted his own eleildren. louring her
solotirmstent them the conapirwry imputed took liar...
. bat failed of its object.—The affidavits in support at
the 'nation for the new trial, stated a variety of facts
be chew that great familiarity subsistml between Miss
tilenn and Jaen. s and that she had con-
sented to the marriage. Amongst other particulars it ,
was !is4 II that an the 27th of August. 1817. she had
st.•.:tsiseti he; sell in the clothes of lion ditch's sisters.'
for :lir purpose of attending the christening of child
of Mrs. Millraitaii, acid standing as rote of the god-
vattliers. and by such disguise to deceive her
she dill attend the christening, and acted as god-
mothcr---that afterwards she returned to sline with the
ttowditch family----that in the evening she drank tea
!lc them—played her harp its concert with a voon,!
Jain, named Turnell, a music master, who acing/Ts-
stio.l her on the pisnof rte---that she afterwards

• Turnell, James Bowslitels. and other men of the
rompary, mid was otherwise generally famil;vr iu tier
I;titirriDOUr, by playing at cards ar;l Miming:cu.% but
with the younger members of the family. Cause was
.hewn against the Bale, upon affidavits negativing
these farts. One of the principal affidavits relied
upon for this prism* was, that of the defendant In
CAB record. Mary Whitby, a young woman who acted
as servant to Miss Gleam during her residence in the
rovwditeh fancily, and she swore that her y meg mis-
tress was not present at the christening mentioned,
that she never played earls or blinilmatt's bud' with
the llowslitch family, and in short that she was not
glilty of any of the familiarities ruent'stied in the
rislavits in support of the rule tor a net: trial, Upon
the statements contained is this affidavit, the assicn•
meat% of perjury were founded.
• In the out-set of the nese, the proserutien had
yearly failed for want of proof of the hand-writing of
tl.ie defendant to the affidavit; but,-upon consultation
ith her Counsel, she consented to admit her hand•
writing. The evidence of no less than twelve wit-
resses was then adduced, positively proving, that on
the 1:;th of August, 1t417, 3liss Wenn had attended
the dint:ening of Mrs. Mulrainr's child, in Magdalen
chureli. Taunton, disguised in clothes not her own ;
that she was one of the inillitiothers ; that she was
present at the christening festivities a hit+ followed
WO she played her harp, (lanced, and was kissed by
JaUtei lion 41101, Williaut Bowslitch and William
• nrnoll ; and that she was in the habit of playing
curd, and blind man's butt with the young Iliswilitches
1, was further sworn, that the defendant, Whitby, was
present on those iteiiasions, and must have seen what
passed. The evidence of a Mrs. Atkinson, who re-
sided at Bath, and in whose house Mr. Tuckett and
Aliss Illenn lodged after the trial at Itoreliester As-
s':zes, was th-n adduced, and she deposed that the de-
fmtlstit appeared unhappy, and, iu a cotes ersation with
her, confessed that Miss Wenn had been at the chris-
tening. but that Mr. Turkett slid not kiwis- it, and she
begged that witness wonlil not tell hint, complaining
at the same time of the ill temper of the latter to her.
Mr. Sergeant Pr u., in an elaborate address to the
Jury, confessed the difficulty he had to encounter in
removing the impression which the evidence for the
pro.
seen ion was calculated to make en their minds ;
Lut lie reled neon the evidence of Miss Glenn to dis-
pel that impression, convinced that her demeanor
when under examination would stamp her evidence

as...ution. Ile also relied upon the testimony of Mr. ,
