Carnally abusing an infant. Robert Bunting (19) was charged with having committed a rape on the person of Phoebe Tuffs, four years and a half old, on Saturday, the 25th of July last, in Terrington St Clement's of which injury she died on the Thursday after. The child went home and complained to its Mother of the injuries it had sustained. The prisoner, it appeared, had told his Mother of what he had done, and she recommended him to go off into Lincolnshire, in search of work, which he did; but was apprehended. Two surgeons deposed that the child died from the effects of the injuries she had received. The Jury found the prisoner guilty, and sentence of death was passed without a hope being held out of its mitigation.
