THE POLICE COURTS

MABYLKBONE.

Harriet Ellen Allen, aged 33, the address given, 20,
Cumberland-street, Pirnliw, who said she was • mil-
liner, was brought up on a warrant in the custody of
Sergeant Palmer, of the Scotland-yard detective police, on
the charge of wilful and corrupt perjury.
Mr. George Lewis, jun., of Ely-place, appeared to pro-
secute ; and Mr. Wilding, of Tichbornc-street, Edgware-
road, for the defence.
It may be remembered that a week ago the prisoner gave
a gentleman named Alexander Mosely, a dentist, who re.
sides at 16, Sunderland-terrace, Bayswater, into custody,
for an alleged outrage upon her in &carriage on the London
and North Western Railway, on which charge he was
acquitted. A summons was subsequently applied for
against the now prisoner for perjury, but she having got
out of the way a warrant was granted for her apprehen-
sion, and she was now brought up.
Mr. Alexander Mosely gave evidence contradicting the
statement of tho prisoner upon the former re-examina-
tion.
After some evidence had been given to show that the
accused did not reside at the address she had named, and
that • man named Williams had recently been living with
her,
Montague Dyer who said he resided at 24, Leader-street,
Chelsea, was next called, and swore he had known the
prisoner for two years and a half, and for two years of
that time she had cohabited with him so his wife.
Mr. Lewis said he was not prepared to finish the case
that day, and Mr. Mansfield granted a remand, and re-
fused to allow the prisoner to bail.

IMPENDING STRIKE IN THE WELSH COLLIERIES.
—The colliers of South Wales have commenced an agita-
tion for an advance of wages, and several masa meeting, of
the men have been held on the mountains in the neigh-
bourhood of the Rhondda Valley. The colliers maintain
that u the demand for steam coal is so brisk, and high
prices are maintained, they are entitled to share in the
prosperity of the trade by a rise in their wages ; but, on
the other hand, it is held that the men have been
benefited equally with the masters in this improvement
through the increased and more regular work they
, have obtained. The employers are unanimous in declining
to grant an advance at present, and it is generally agreed
that with a monetary panic at home and war impending
on the continent, a more inopportune moment could not
have been chosen for making the application. Several of
the colliery owners have suffered through the panic in the
I money market, and unless confidence is soon restored it is
I the opinion of many who have had a long connexion
I with the South Wales coal trade that it is not improb-
able that a reduction in wages will before long have to
be submitted to.
