SCAN. MAG.-CURIoUs CASE.

Our English files last received devote columns to re-
port OF very curious that had up before the
Central Criminal Court London, which as exhibiting a
peculiar episode OF life in Londonas well as bringing out
some new claw points, is not without some interest
here:
Some time since the Rev. Mr. Hatch chaplain Of the
Wadsworth House of Correction, was convicted of a
gross crime upon girl only eleven wears of age named
Mary Eugene Pummer and sentenced to four years
imprisonment at hard labor At the time of his trial his
counsel did not deem the evidence against him of any
consequence neither did the pros cutting attorney the
Queens counsel and at their suggestion the testimony
for the defence was dispensed with But contrary the
expectation OF the attorneys upon both sides the jury
found the defendant guilty. So well satisfied the
Judges and Queens counsel OF the Rev. gentemans in
nocence that application was made TO the for
PARDON for appeal could be had under the law of
England II no defence Is made the trial, no appeal
be TAKEN Declarations were presented TO the Sec
rotary OF State IN behalf Of the convicted clergyman
and at his suggestion charge of preury instituted
againt The little GIRL which proven would secure par
don to the condemned man. Accordingly this suit was
brought the same lawyers appearing against the girl that
had upon the former trial prosecuted in her favor Mr.
Hatch was taken from prison and appeared before the
Grand Jury, upon which testimony the present bill
OF indictment was found. At the sitting of the Court
he was taken again from his confinement at hard labor
and allowed to testify against his former prosecurix-
His testimony, corroboraed by that of his wife and many
Others, dsproyes the evidence upon which he
vcted, and brings TO light state of facts of the most
astounding character which will involve the girls pa
rents and others high in authority in Of the most
extraordinary conspaces record the principal points
OF which these Several years since the father of
the young girl suddenly rose from poverty TO COMPARE
tive wealth. and averred that his property had
him by the death and will of distant relative This
story was believed by all who knew him. In 1851 Mr..
hs'cn was appointed chaplain to the Wsdsw0rth House

Of Correction While In that poslon he vas osn called
upon pray with convict who professed TO be in deep
distress concerning the coSdton OF his soul In Of
these interviews the convict communicated to him the
fact that Plummer had obtained his property through
the commission of crimes involving theft, burglares,
highway robbery, and even murder. Not putting mpi-
cit confidence in the fellows veracity however, Mr..
Hatch deemed proper await further Developments
before imparting his information TO the authorities In
the meantime the convict died. and Mr. Hatch alone
10 the possession Of the facts.
Plummer, mistrusting that from Hatchs position as
Chaplain the institute he had learned the clue his
gotten wealth. proessed the extraordinary friend
ship for the minister's family The Plummers often Wis
tied the Hatches, but their visits returned
except by Mrs. Hatch At length Mr. Hatch was induc
ed to take the eldest of Plummers children (the
mentioned above) into his family a scholar August
last She remained but two weeks when she was re-
moved by her mother alleging the reason hat the fare
furnished by the minister's family good enough"
Here it may be noticed that the young girl engaged
to be married to gentlemen who possessed income of
els 600 and her marriage fixed TO take place upon
her birthday After Miss Plummers removal from Mr.
Hatchs house. the relations between the two families
ceased and Plummer commenced the action against Mr.
Hatch, upon which the latter convicted in March
last II appears that the little girl was placed in
Mr.. Hatchs family for the purpose of decoyng him into
a snare, adroy set by her father in order 10 get him
Hatch out of the way, hoping that the punishment
would be Punishment from England On this trial every
item of evidence the part OF the girl the former
al was dsproved, so that instead of her marrying her
betrothed in few years, she will probably be convicted
of Infamous crime, aud her fathers illgained wealth
will not him from the gallows In legal view of
the case the whole action is singular The taking of
Hatch from prison and allowing him to testify in his own
behalf is unprecedented. The testimony OF Mrs. Hatch
in this case, also is directly at variance with the rule
against permitting wife to testify in behalf of her hus
band An appeal will be taken, probably, to a higher
court should the girl be found guilty of perjury the
present trial. upon these supposed informaltes and if
the course pursued is sanctioned by the Queens
Bench it will inaugurate Of procedure which will
materially conflict with the established principles of COM
mon law and criminal prosecution.
