brought up again with their relations 
on the following day. 
15th. William ‘Tyrrel was in- 
diéted for an assault on Mary Mills. 
The prosecutrix stated, that she was 
married, buat had been separated 
from her husband, She had an al, 
lowance of half a guinea a week, 
from a Mr. Moore, of Suffolk- 
street, St, Luke’s. She was going 
to the house of her benefactor, on 
the 2d of January, when the de- 
fendant, in company with another 
person, scized her at Islington, hur- 
ried her into a hackneycoach, and 
took her to a mad-house, at Hox- 
ton, where they left her. She was 
confined there three weeks, the first 
few days of which she was accommo- 
dated with people of the better or- 
der; but her money being exhaust- 
ed, she was turned into another 
ward amongst mad people, and her 
situation was so dreadful, that she 
was nearly deprived of her faculties. 
After having been three weeks in 
this situation, she solicited some 
Jew boys, who were allowed to vend 
their commodities through a little 
hole in the door of her apartment, 
to convey a letter to Mr. Moore. 
This was refused. She at length 
found in her apartment an old dry 
inkstand, and having procured the 
feather af a chicken, she, with a 
little water, was enabled to commit 
her distresses to a piece of paper she 
accidentally found, and threw it out 
of the window, which was fortu- 
nately picked up by some person 
in the street, by which it found its 
way to Mr. Moore, who, on re- 
ceiving the letter, repaired to the 
mad-house, and with considerable 
difficulty was admitted, when he 
gonveyed her to his housa She

knew the defendant, and she be« 
lieved the other man belonged to 
the mad-house. She at that time 
suspected Mr. Mills had been the 
author of her misery. 
Mr. Nares, the magistrate, stated, 
that he understood the prosecutrix 
had been taken up by an order, 
signed by the apothecary of the 
mad-house; he had investigated that 
fact, and he could say that the man 
alluded to had never seen the pro- 
Secutrix. 
The chairman was amazed at such 
conduct, which had seldom been 
heard of. 
Mr. Alley stated, that he, and 
other gentlemen at the bar, would 
at any time conduct a prosecution 
against the husband, the mad-house 
keeper, and the defendant, for a 
conspiracy ; and advised the prose- 
cutrix to lose no time in indicting the 
whole of them. 
The jury, without hesitation, 
found the prisoner guiltyp—Judg- 
ment respited.
