On the 14th 'instant three cases came on for trial
before the Sheriff.of Clackmannayshire at Alloa, at the
instance of the''Procurator-Fiscal of the county, against
Mr. Fife, the oersman, and sevetal of the workmen at
Clackmannan Colliery, for the employment of females
below ground aCthese works, in contravention of Lord
Ashley's Act. Various objections were stated to the
relevancy of the complaint by the agents for the pri-
soners, which were all repelled by the Sheriff. Fife, the
oversman, and one of the workmen then pleaded guilty,
and were fined in the minimum penalty of 51. each. The
complaints in the other cases were not insisted in, the
prosecutor remayking that he was of opinion that the
ends of justice would be satisfied by the conviction of
the oversman and the workman who had pleaded guilty.
Before the ,Court dismissed, the Sheriff addressed
the prisoners and the audience in nearly the following
terms :
