      Mr .

Cyuld they doubt She object of the prosecutrix or her mother was not tho benefit of the public at large , but the proceeding wjta a sort of pressure 6 a the : pri » sorier or htr husband to , get the money back . This was nothing oiore than a girl going to a wise wpman , who was supposed to have influence over supernatural

      affairs "; anu though the law . was to protect the weak against the strung ; a person grown up to twenty . foar years 0 ? . age , and conducting the business of her parent , was not to be considered an idiot ; and if she chose to pay a fancy price for anything ehe was ; not to be giotected ' / by-. a . criminal prosecntion , because afterwards she did not like her . bargain . If a person saw a whip in a window , and the tradesman insisted 011 haying £ 5 for ij , if he chose to give it , ad after wards . found it worth only 2 a . 6 d . was the tradesman to be prosecuted aa a criminal ?

      on Mr . George Robins if when he went fo riiako up his accounts , some Of the noblemen should demand their , money , er prosecute him . Their present chairman had many bronzes which to an anti * quavian were of great value , but which he { Mr .

She was not to turn round and say , "i ani not cured—your advice is valuelesa , and

      I will prosecute you . " What difference was there between this case and that of a medical man . ? . -.

( Laughter . ) . , Yet . did they ever , hear ef a doctor being called on to answer for , this ? Thai case was in fact worse than this , because here the young woman could exercise her own discretion on . tha ; deception practised upon her understanding ; but the doctor caroe and shook his heaa \ as if thfcre was anything in ifc , felt the pulse , looked at the watch , and practised all that mummery . which was usual when -.-. there waa nothing more to do than to : drive a road for his fortune through the patient ' s bowela— slaughter )—and they had no means of detectingor judging' of ifc , for they

      knew nothing of what hd was about Here this girl , who was capable of conducting- her motber ' s business ,, bad a full opportunity of feeing whether the advice was worth what she gave fer it , and like a person who bought a thing ; at a fancy price , it was at her own risk . The girl confessed there was some unrequited love in this .. matter- ; tho gipsey saw tb . e romance of early affection piayingabout the ruins of a lost heart—( laughter )—thera was a smile of invitation ; and the young girl desiring the return of tha wanderer , lobbed to get the shepherdess to bring him back to the fold , when all was to be ; well . —( laughter . ) : A young tjirl in love -viawetl everything in an absurd light ; and iiere she . caifed iu the prisoner ' s aid , and was in the situation of a person wh » bought ah old raahuscriptr not worth Gil . at a high pries ' - ; or the doctor who ilid the patient no good ; it was a mere purchase , and tfce person was not guiity of felony who sold advice which ni ; ght be valueless . :

      TheCtiairman said , the only question was ,-whether the prisoner-obtained the money feloniously— -wheihtr the -taking , was with a felonious intention . ; Did this woman at Ehe time she went ihto the shop ccoft up this story to set possession of tho money feloniousW ? There wr-r ^ i several cises on this subject . Tbere vrsa one in which a person went to a coach-maker's , and said he wanted . 1 chariot to go into the North ; the coach-maker let . him have it , and he went and sold iS ; that was a / mere . - cloak to - -get Dossession of it , and he was convicted of the felony . " There was another case in which a person got possession of bank notes to Change , but walked ' .--off and did not bring them back ;

      and itwas held that that being a false pretence , there wasafsloiiious -inteiit to get possesion of the notes It appeared to him that this case went all fours with that . The prisoner -speciallystated she would bring the money back—there was no borrowing ; and it appeared to him to be n , trumped up story of this 1 ingemoua woman to get possession of the money from this young girl , who was suffering under great mental anxiety . The young girl might not be ao clever as this vpnianj arid he heped she never would be , for she had not made a good use of her talents .

      TKIALS OF MOLLY GOOD AND RICH 4 . RD ' GAMBLE . Central Crijunal court , Satijiidav . This motning , at ten , o ' clock precisely , Mr . Baron Alderson and ilr . Justice . Coitriian took their seatsupori the bench of the old court , said proceeded to take the trial of Moliy Good . . : : ' . Tlio Court was not near so much crowded as on Friday , and the prices of admission to tne gallery were lowered , it is aautj to one-fifth " the prica" tuat was demanded for the . exhibition of Cfood . The Attorney-General , Mr . Ad < ilphus ,-lVIr . Waddington , and Air . Russell Gurney , attended , on behalf of the Crown , to prosecute , ana Mr . Ballantine attended for the prisoner . ; I ; The Cierk of the Arraigns having read over the indictment , charging the prisoner with harbouring and comforting Daniel Good , who stood charged with the crime . of murder , the prisoner pleaded Not Guilty .

      Tho Attorney-General , in addressing the Jury , said it was highly important , for the ends of public justice , that people should understand tho enormity of the offence which they committed in harbouring and secreting a party who had ' committed so awful a crime as that of murder . It seemed that the prisoner at the bar ha-a comforted and harboured the man Daniel Good , who was yesterday found guilty of murder . He understood the defence to be sot up ¦ was , that the prisoner was married to the man Daniel Good ; and , if such proof was adduced , then tho law very humanely provided that a wif j could not be found guilty of harbouring the

      man whom she was bound to honour , love , and obey . He believsd that the prisoner had , many , years ago , gone through a certain form with the prisoner , but had not been legally married to him ; and she had lived with him for a number of years . If , however , the prisoner had harboured Good ucder the sincere belief that she was his wife , and bound to . do so , he ( the Attorney-General ) did not feel it necessary for tbe purposes of . pubnc justice ,-to advise the Crawn to prosecute . He had conferred with his Lt-arned Friends , and with the Learned Counsel engaged for the prisoner , and he bfclitvti'A sufficient had transpired between them to justify him in not offering' any evidence against the

      prisoner . Mr . Ballantine thanked his learned friends for the opportunity they had . ofilred him of laying some of the facts contained ia his instructions before them , and for tbo liberal constiuotion they had placed upon the eviv dence he had intended to present on behalf of the prir soner btfora the jury . It saved the prisoner the pain of a long trial iu a doubtful case , which in all probability , would have ended in a doubtful result . Ifc was another proof of tbe spirit of forbearance which had characterised this prosecution throughout ; and he sincere y thanked his learned friends for the course which , in their better judgment , they had thought proper to puraue .

      Mr . Baton Alderson then remarked tbat , as the Attorney-General bad not offered any evidence against tha prisoner , . it would be the duty of the jury'to acquit her . Ithadb ' -cn UuVy said that a woman could nob be couvicted of a charge of harbouring her husband , but in the event of the prisoner uot having been abfe to produce . evidence-of her-having been-married legally , she would have been placed in an awkward position . : md riot have been considered altogether guiltless : at the same time the court would have visited her with a comparatively light puuisiimentt U it had been shown that she had gone through a cenain form with Daniel Good , which led her to believe that she wa 3 his wife ,

      arid , acting under tbat impression , had considered it her duty to comfort him . It was important that a wrong impression should not go forth to the public that , in any future case that may arise , where the ' circumstance ' s might in some . respects be of a similar kind , tbas this court woul < l fail to icflicfc a severe punishment upon persons who should be proved to be guilty of so serious on offence as that of interposing difficulties in tlio way of the police when they were erideavouring to bring to justice a party charged with a murder of so frightful a nature as that which had yesterday occupied so much of their attention , and created so painful an excitement in the public mind .

      Thu Attorney-General said , in fairness to the prisoner , ho would state that he believed a number of wit- , nesses were in court ready to bear testimony to the ^ ood character of the prisoner during the time she had lived for many years in the neighbourhood of Spitalnelds . ' . ' . The Jury , under the direction of the Learned Judge , then acquitted the prisoner . Mary Good was then arraigned for feloniously receiving three pieces ' of silk , the property of Jane Jones , otherwise Jane Good . The Counsel for the prosecution in thiB case declined to offer aay evidence , and she was acquitted . Richard Gamble was next charged with feloniously receiving three gowns , the property of Jane Jones ; otherwise Good , and also- with feloniously receiving two shirts , the property of Samuel Spicer .

      EXTRAORDINARY " CA . SE OF SUPERSTITION . At the adjourned sessions for the county of Essex , held last week , a gipst-y , named Louisa Dolton , aged 30 , was indicted under very singular circumstances i " or stealing two sove 2 'eigES , three half sovereigns , tiltaen half crowns , forty two shillings , and five sixpences , from Miss Hannah Guiver , at IJgley . Mr . Rodweil , who appeared for the prosecution , said tha circumstances of thia case were ' . of a . singular and oxtraordinary nature , and he should call attention to a few facts which , unless they were proved by evidence in a court of jUBtice , they wouUl hasdly beliove . The . prosecutrix was a widow ,- keeping ft shop at Ugley Greou , and she had , a daughter who was the principal witness in tho case . At Easter lust she was in a bad staie of health , w / iether from unrequited love or riot he did not knovr , / when the prisoner got access'to her and induced her to believe that she was spell-bound ; but promised that " on payment of a sum of money , aud by perfrfriiiiug certain mysterious and magical arts , she should be relieved . ' In-this-way she obtuiried 2 ? . the first time ; and sho . then said , if 10 s . mote were given hsrsho would-consult a'book , It was given , and she then handed h&r two pieces of paper , stuck across * . r ith pins , wbic ' a she said , would ; bit ve the -lifect of removing the spell . She called again a few days after , when she

      productd a bag , r . cd asked to have filled with salt , and she a ! so stated it would be necessary for a sum of money — £ 7-ox" £ 8—to bo put into the bag . Tag young woman brought £ 2 or £ . 3 down stairs , and put in to the baif , bin tbo prisonar said it would be impossible to co : i ; pltt 9 the cure without £ 7 or £ 8 ; ar . il bhe then brcright down t ! iat f > um of her mothtv ' s . 11 waa at -iirst distinctly stated that sho waa not to tili « tho money av .-ay , but it v .-as arranged . that the prisoner shou . l ' . l Uke the , b : ig itnd briiii ? it back at elevan o ' ciock the mxt day , and if the did not the young woman was to get a sharp knife and cut her ( the ' gipsey ' s ' j threat . S . ' ia , however , forgot to come back , but was afcerwards apprehended 10 or 11 ni-i'iss off . Possibly , in the course (> f tho evidence , facts would como out that would create a smile ; but they must recollect that weak and nervous people—noi the strong minded—were selected for these purposes ; and tho law was for the protection of the weak in mind aa well as those who were weak in body ; against the strong . ¦ -.- ¦ /

      :.-Hannah Guiver , rather a good-looking young woman , 25 years of age , was then examined . She said—I live with my mother at Ugley Green ; she keeps a small tihop . On the 20 th of March , on a Saturday ,: the prisoner came to the shop , and told me shewouldtell me a few-words ' that :-would be a benefifc to me- I gave her Is . ; shb had a book with her , and she looked into it , after which she said if she told me by the book I musfgive her another Is . ; I gave it her , and she then said I was under a spell ; but if I gave her half a sovereign she could and would break it in nine days . ( Larigbter . ) She then gave mo a piece of foolscap paper with Bomothing on it , two pins sticking across one another , which I was to burn at the cine days ' end . She then left , but she called again on the 1 st of April , when she said shehad been working the things beautifully . for me .. ( Loud laughter . ) I said "Well . " On the 4 th she called again , arid , taking a bag from her pocket , asked for a banilfrijl of salt ; that was in the Keepmg-room , as sUs said aha wanted to sptak to me
