The Lord Mayor, on taking W seat this morning, said he

runnincent subscriptions that bad been raised for the
relief of the widows and orphans of the sufferers by the
Hartley Colliery accident. Last Friday week be

day L..tif. was received. That sum had gone on
iscruiong until he believed that there would be at
a. clone of this day a sum of 10.1001. Al a

been received in other towns, that further subscriptions

of the name of Ann 1/aru, at Islington.
Mr. H. Allen, prosecuting officer of the Associate Institu.
lion for Improving and Enforcing the Laws for the Protec-
tion of Women, attended to prosecute.
From the evidence of the oomplainant it appeared that
she was servant in the house at which the prisoner to
I in Wednesday last he attempted to take liberties with her,
but she then sunoessafidly repulsed him. On this omegion,
.hilt she was scrubbing the door, he fell on bar, sod,
notwithstanding her utmost resistance and her screams, be
elated his purpose. Shortly afterwards she called in a
islwetuan and gave him into custody.
Mr. I i'llyncutirt and the prisoner asked the complainant
some questions as to her resistance, which she did not an.
seer iu the most satisfactory manner.
Thu prisoner. in answer to the charge, did not deny that
I►o had been intimate with the complainant, but said it was
with her consent, and it was not the first time.
Mr. liEvocourt said he did not think a jury would coo-
mt. and therefore discharged the prisoner, who left the
dock smiling.
