This Day's Proceedings

SHOCKING REVELATIONS,

Christcuoech, this day

The caso against Dr. Russell, Mrs Bowern, and hor brother and sister (R. J. Wilson and Mies Wilson) was taken thia morning. The girl concerned, a general servant named Annie Connolly, appeared to have considerabe difficulty in remembering tho various conversatio.s, which were of the first importance for establishing the charge. In effect her statement was that for some time aftor going to Mrs Boworn's—her ago thon being IB years— she got in trouble by Wilson, with whom she cohabited, Mrs Bowern knowing they did so, Tho intimacy continued about two monthe. Conversations took placo after the girl difcovered hor condition, Mrs Bowern and Miss Wilson being present. Ultimately, Mis 3 Wilson wont to see Dr. Russell, and Mrs Bowern paid him ten guineas, which had been provided for tho purpose hy R J. Wilson, for the defence raised the point that the witness might incriminate her self by relating what tbe doctor did. Tho witness loft tho Court until the point had been argued. Mr Bectham, R.M., held if the witness waa willing, that it waa not necessary or desirable, in the interests of justico, for tho Bonch to caution her, and ho would not allow counsel to inter pose by doing so. The evidence was then resumed, whon the girl described the operation performed by Dr. Russell in terms similar to thoso employed in tho previous cases.
