Notwithstanding he is a married man, and has a child, he soon began to take libertiei which the young woman resented, and of which she cquainted her mistress. But otiChrismat eve, his family, except the prosecntrix, and man-servant, being gone to Winterton, he, after a long struggle, so far -exhausted her strength, that she fainted, and became a victim to his lust: On her recovery, she went to aerie. iinther mistress of what bad happened; and then returned to the protection of her mother. The testimony, charactei,. and previous chastity of the prosecutrix, attempted to be impeached by the Counsel and evidence of the prisoner ; and Mrs Chimley, on being asked whether he bad himself any thing to say, made an impassioned appeal to GOD that he was innocent. The Jury found him Guilty • Mr. Justice BATLEY immediately, passed sentence; in a most impressive way. Theprisoner, he observed, so far from being the seducer even of the female, whom, 36 a master, and the head of a family, he was bound to protect, ought to have corrected in her any propensity which she might have betrayed to an improper intercourse. But when, in gross violation of morality and the duties of society, he, by brutal violence, robbed her of her chastity, he became an offender of so dark a rank, that good men, in their resentment, would hardly think any punishment 'too severe to be inflicted on him. He (the Learned Judge) in verity, declared, that, considering the relation ef the prisoner and the prosecutrix, had theformer been tried and found guilty of the capital offence for which he had been first indicted, he should have felt it his duty, as a warning to society in these parts, to have left him for execution. As it was, he sentenced him to pay a fine of £4OO to the King, and to be imprisoned twp years in the House of Correction, at Kirton ; and further, be imprisoned until the fine be paid. Nary Aistrope, single woman, lately of Hagwor. thingham, charged by the Coroner's Inquest with the wilful murder of a male child, of which she-delivered herself—was acquitted. The prisoner lived' in the service of Mrs. Holden; of Hagworthingliam, and had so lived for five months previously to het 'delivery. She complained of being very ill, but did not state the cause of her illness, and was delivered without the privity of any person. The child was sand after found in the chimney-place of a room contigunuf to the prisoner's bed-room,-dead. NoinetkStif violence were discoverable upon it ; but ft professional witness fieclered his opinion that the infant born alive, from the circumstance of-the lungs appearing inflated, on an anatomical investigation by him, and of their floating in wcer. Mr. Justice BATLEY hnmanely controverted this conclusion, and declared that, called as his attention frequently was by his professional duties to the subject, he had no hesitation in saying, that the opinion of the most eminent meta in the faculty now was, that the inflation and floating of the lungs were by no means a proof that a child was brought into the world alive, particularly where the mother had not had the aid of a midwife. There was a question for the Jury, whether the prisoner had criminally concealed the birth of the child ? but he thought no evidence was adduced of its having been born alive. The Jury acquitted the prisoner ; and at the in. stance of the Judge, her late mistress agreed to receive her into her service again.
