Thomas Atkinson in government service, charged with an assault on an infant with an attempt to commit rape. Elizabeth Hannell states - On Saturday morning last, I discovered on examining the linen of my little girl, that she was in a very bad state from a serious injury she had sustained. I asked her who had caused it. She denied telling me at first but in the course of the day by threats and promises she showed me the house where it happened. I immediately went there with the child and found three men. I asked her which of them it was. She pointed out Atkinson. I went away and got a constable and told him to take all three men. He did so as he was on his way to the watch house he stopped at my door and called me out and said it was no use to take them all to the watch house that the child had better say to him which of them had done it. I desired her to do so and she again pointed to Atkinson and said he was the man.....cont. Tuesday 7 February....William Cooper states - On Saturday last I was in the skilling adjoining to that where Atkinson lives, I saw the little girl crying. I told the child to go home, she had informed me that someone had been hurting her. I went to Atkinsons door, and said - If you have been attempting to injure the child, you deserve everything that is bad - I was induced to say this from an impression that he had been doing something wrong with the child - John Mentzlaer, constable corroborated the statement of Elizabeth Hannell in respect to the circumstances attending his taking Atkinson into custody. Atkinson denies the accusation, says he did not hear Cooper speak to him. Atkinson remanded for a full Bench

Thomas Atkinson, in government service, charged with an assault on Mary Ann White, an infant aged 5 years with an intent to commit rape. The following depositions were read over in his presence. Elizabeth Hannell being duly sworn....On Saturday morning the 4th inst., I discovered that my little girl had been seriously injured and that she was in a very bad state from it. I asked her who had done it. She refused to tell me at first, but by threats and promises I induced her to point the person; she took me to a house in which were three men and pointed out Atkinson without hesitation. I sent for a constable and requested him to take charge of the three men which was done. As they past my door the constable desired me to bring out my child that she might point out which of the three has committed the offence. When she again pointed to Atkinson and on my asking her if another of the men had not done it she said no and persisted in pointing out Atkinson. My child told me he had whipped her before he made the attempt and she showed me the place where this affair occurred and said I was away at the time drawing my rations. Mary Ann White being privately examined by George Brooks stated that she had been hurt by the prisoner ... Henry Kenny overseer of the general hospital being duly sworn deposeth and saith - Mary Ann White was brought to me some time since during the absence of Dr Brooks by her mother. It was on the day on which the injury she had sustained was discovered. I examined her. There was a considerable degree of inflammation and a great discharged arising from violence on the private parts. I examined Atkinson he was not diseased. William Cooper being duly sworn deposeth - On Saturday week last I was in an adjoining skilling where Atkinson was and I saw the little girl Mary Ann White, crying. I told her to go home. I went to the door of the house where Atkinson was. I saw only him except Bentley who was lying asleep. I said whoever has been injuring the child deserves everything that is bad. The child had told me that a big man had been hurting her. It was on this account that I made the observation as Atkinson is a stout man and my impression was that he might be the man. The child might have heard me speaking to him. The previous depositions having been read Thomas Atkinson denies the charge, and calls Sarah Perkins, who being duly sworn deposeth....Some time since my husband and me lived on Mr. Dillon s farm. I took the child with me but was desired by the mother of it Elizabeth Hannell to wash her frequently or else she would get very bad. I washed her going up the river, I continued to wash her at least once a day for some time but having at last neglected to do so for a day or two it became very bad. I never saw a child in such a state before. It was regular discharge. The child was quite well when I returned her to her mother but I have reason to believe she has been frequently in the same state since. Samuel Beckett being sworn...about two years ago I was at Mr. Dillon s farm when Sarah Perkins came to live there with this little girl. She used to be washed regularly in the private parts except I believe upon one occasion for two or three days when the child became very bad. I saw a very considerable discharge from her privates which were washed three times a day to my knowledge whilst the complaint was on her. The bench having considered the evidence against the prisoner as well as that produced in his defence are of opinion that he is not guilty of the offence and do order him to be discharged to his duty
