Evidence

There are as many sorts of motives as there are of pains and
pleasures put together. With here and there a temporary exception,
there is scarce not a motive to which to the action of which every
human being whatsoever, male or and female, old and young,
is not exposed. but to the action the sinister and seductive action of this or that species
of motive, this or that individual may by experience observation of the
disposition it has given birth to, be known to stand more particularly
exposed.

3 May 1803 at Dublin James Lawless, Gardener
was convicted of an assault on
a child not 16 y 14 years old, with intent to committ a rape. It

being becoming a victim to his incontinence, and as well as

that had no communication outward. For Hearing where she was
His disposition in this respect being known to some
friends of her mothers, they mounted the garden wall, and
by their evidence compelled her appearance: she presented herself in a state of

of temerity or calumny: but, by the measures taken

taken in consequence, the and it it was cleared of the imputation of temerity by the confirmation it
received from the witness to whom the violence had it been offered.
