All DDLESEX SESSIONS.—FRIDAT, Ocr. 25.

JOHN WILFRED PARKINS V. THE PARISH OF MART•LA-
BONNE.

This was an appeal brought by the ex-Sheriff, Mr.
Parkins. against an order of filiation. The petition of
appeal was read. It set forth by declaring Hannah
White, the girl upon whose oath the order of filiation
was pronounced, to be a common prostitute ; and entered
• ir.to many particulars with respect to the frequent visits
else received from many male acquaintances. Themp-
p;d:ant declared that the girl had moat wilfully perjured
herself, and solemnly affirmed that he had had no such
It tercourse as she had described: It went on to state,
C.at when at the office where the order of filiation was
1 r.mounceil, he did recognize her as being a poor woman
to whom be had given three or four shillings at Bucking-
him gate, perceiving—that she was almost shoeless.—
lie was on horseback at the time, and rode off, ful-
lqwed by his groom.
Mr. .ADOLyucs, on behalf of the respondent, first pro-
du. rd as his witness to prove his case, Hannah White.
S.is swore that souse time previous to June she was in
• the service of Caps. Pozzard, io the riding-house in
•Hyde-park. One evening is June she met Mr. Parkins,
and an intercourse took place, which gave rise to ano-
ther in August in Kensington gardens. He met
her then at the gate mar her master's house, and
t!:.7 went into Kensington gardens together. The
wimcss then described the nature of the interview. This
wa• repeated afterwards at least three or four times. It
ep:ght be snore, lint else would not swear to snore than
three or four. Altos wards, fearing a discovery in conse-
quesice of these various interviews, ske assumed the
ame of Mrs. Jarvis, and went to lodge at the house of
a Mr. Simons:ids, in %t. Martin's cuureli yard. She
was subsequently delivered of a child in Mary la-bonne
mkhouse.
The witness mulerstent a long cross-examination by
Mr. ALLEY, front which hats-aver nothing important was
elucidated. She answered the spestions without mbar-
' tasthent, or any contradiction.
Ala. ALLEY. on behalf of the appellant, proceeded to
tail the facts which he would prove in contradiction
• •r fb the statements of this young woman'. He would call
- host-of witnesses, who would show, to the satisfac-
e;ll` of the Court, that not only the whole story she had
ry up for ibis occasion, was a complete tissue of
!Nat the bei;inning to the eau, tut that the

two months after she quitted the service, he received a
letter frog. her signed " Jarvis," and dated from No. 4,
Crown-street, IVestminster. He went to bur, and she
said her name was Jarvis.
A beadle of the parish of St. Martin's was called, but
proved notbiiig. Another witness who bad been sub-
pcened, was obliged to attend on another trial in a dif-
ferent court.

Mr. Auntßutz' replied. He was commentior upon
the deficiency of proof with respect to the scene in the
park, at which the groom most have been present. when
Mr. Perkins interrupted the Learned Counsel, and stated
that he had omitted to call the groom.
Mr. ALLSY declared upon his honour, that he had
forgotten to call him, or shoalo have pat him into the
box before.
Mr. ADOLPHUS was surprised at such a proceeding.
Just as he had cotumeneed his ob tions and at,
the period of the case, then a new witness was to be
called.

John Thorn was then examined. He stated that he
was groom to Mr. Parkins, and remembered tiding out
with his master to ittirklngham-gate. He bad done so
several times. He (rem ,saw the girl in qaestion, to
his remembrance, before; and never saw her accost his
master in the park. His master freqnently walked in
the park.
Mr. ADOLPHUS then continued his reply, and began
by observing upon the probability and consistency of
the girl's statement. It was a plain and simple narra-
tive, and had been contradicted in no one particular,
bat it was asked, was it likely that Mr. Parkins, with a
groom behind him, should thus publicly make assigna-
tions ? Nothing more likely. He remembered a well
known story of a general °Moe wren the water. who
11 was so little shy upon these occasions, that he suffered
aifile of soldiers to wait opposite tbe gate of a celebrated
house in Dublin until morning dawned. Dt guetibrre
non eat dirputandum, and Mr. ex Sheriff might, and
probably did, entertain the same feelings upon the sub-
ject. As to the witness Thorn who had been examined,
his evidence was indeed a thorn in the side of the ap-
pellant, for what did it amount to ? If the girl's story
was untrue, bow came Mr. Parkins, as lie allowed in
his petition, to give three or four shillings to her? And
if so, bow came it that the groom knew nothing about
the matte'? Were the charitable feelings of the ex-
Sheriff roused at seeing the girl's_ shoeless state, and
was it for this only that be became all at once so boun-
tiful ? ;it was hut too plain nby the tender heart of
Mr. Parkins had been so wonderfully affected. The
manry. was given fur another and a very ditferect object,
and Al! generosity received i•• due reward. This, in.
deed, might be said to be the true "economy of love."
The learned counsel then proceeded to comment upon
the remaining portion of the evidence adduced by the
appellant. TlieT were indeed all notable witnesses, and,
eteepting Mrs. Simmonds, proved nothing. That lady,
wish a steel-formed conscience, had sworn to a confer
sion to which he believed very feet Indeed would give
credence—a confession made by the poor girl while yet
in bed at the workhouse, and Atilt suffering under the
pains of childbirth. After some farther observations,
he concluded by earnestly entreating the Court to weigh
the whole facts of the case.

The Cumnwarn :mph: a few comments open the evi-
dence. Unless, lie observed, it nes to be viippoised that
the whole of the girl's story %rasa fabrisation, ther• wk
no contradiction to her terimony, nt least as to the
wain He agreed witlA the learned Counsel fur

_

hives Mated that for wine time past tlie Park had
been infested Ines aid women of the most abandoned
(characters, and it 'became so great a nuisance at night,
that it was dangerous for persons to pass through it.—
lanumerible complaints have been made *Mite ani.
tau*, and orders were given to clear the park of all
such characters. The prisiiner was one of Clime in the
nightly habit of attendeog there, leaching gentlemen on
passing tbroagh. and was frequently drank and disor-
derly. especially on Thursday night last, whoa he took
ker into comedy.
The Magistrate ioquired whether there were not a
great flambee id men of infamous character who visited
the Park nightly?
The Park-keeper said there was, for the worst of pur-
poses, and so frequently. did they attend there, that he
*old easily pews them out.
The Magjsira are instructions to the Park-keeper
to oPprvitvad _-larking about the Park at un-
seasonable hours. _ _

The prisoner was proved... hi a notoriously bad cha-
raster, and she was eospositted to the. House of Corree—i
tion to hard labour.

house, in Jews-row, Chelsea, on-Tuesday evening, and
had b pots of beer, for cub of which he paid Is re-
ceiving the difference in change. He afterwards called
bra 6th pot, for which he offered soother shilling, the
blecknees ow one side of which caused Mrs. Davis, the
landlady, to malaise it minutely, sod she discovered it

and be immediately gave her good silver for four of the
bad shillioge, but tefused to give her any more until she

for baltamirown to anothet man who brought it back
the next day. While they were disputing that point, a
young man who bad been scot for, a constable, returned
with Shields and Scott, two of the Bow-street Patrol,
who took the prisoner into custody, and searching him,
band on his person a sovereign and three shillings in
silver of good money, and three bad half crowns, aadl
two bad shillings wrapped up separately in paper.
A person who attended (ruin the Mint proved the shil-
lings and half crowns produced to he counterfeit.
The prisoner said he took them in change from a mow
in Petticoat-lane, of whonebe had boogla some second-
hand clothes.
He was committed for trial.
