When Peter Gordon Brown was accused at Nottingham Assizes of criminally assaulting Dorothy Cox, aged eighteen, he told the jury:

"I told Dorothy she was not exactly beautiful, but that her beauty lay in her smile."

The Judge, interpos ng, said: "Don't go on like that, we under- stand you paid her compliments.” Brown said, "How can I describe her lips without sampling their lovely fruit?" He swore that whatever happened was with the girl's consent.

Brown, a man aged thirty-nine, met the girl at a dance and duced her to go for a walk on the following evening.

After they sat: down on the grass he produced a bottle wine, and having persuaded the girl to drink, he started to re- olte poetry of his own compost- tion.

The girl refused to allow Brown to kiss her, whereupon he put his hand over her mouth and said, “If you scream I will kill you."

There was, a violent struggle. nt the end of which he committed the offence.

In a letter he wrote to Miss Cox he said:

"I lowered myself in your esteem, and when I recalled that diabolical night I attempted to write to you. I. felt like a sinner entering the shrine of Allah. I look upon you as a timid, frighten" ed bird. That is my poetic point of view."..
