whom this geatitmen wee understood to be coananed, and
it that failed to produce the desired awn, the whole
ease should be submitted to the Lord Mayor, in whose
jurisdiction the incitation was located. In the meantime
he should present each of the women with a donation of 10s.
from the poor-box, but as it was masifestly impossible that
such a fund should he made permanently available for their
benefit, it would be necessary for them to depend for their
future support upon their respective parishes, which he had
no doubt, in such • lamentable caw as theirs, would be rea-
dily afforded them, without the alternative of entering the
workhouse. The complainants expressed their grateful
sense of the magistrate's kindness, and left the court.

indecent manner, and that after resisting violently she suc-
ceeded in escaping from him.—A man named Haply, 44,
