-INTIMIDATION AND THREATENING LET-
TERS TO LADIES.—About the 6th of this month, a married
lady of Manchester, who was at one of the marine bathing
places on the Lancashire coast, was somewhat startled by
observing that all her movements were watched, and her-
self followed everywhere, by a tall man, about six feet
high, with sandy hair, red whiskers, and slightly round
shouldered, who was respectably dressed. After noticing
him following her about during one day, she found, to
her surprise, on entering the breakfast room the follow-
ing morning, that he was stationed outside the house, as
if awaiting her leaving it. In order to elude what she
considered his impertinence, she directed that the carriage
should take her up at the back door; and she then pro-
ceeded for a drive, but had not gone far, when she saw
the man hovering about, staring at her. As she had a
person with her, he did not accost her ; but this annoy-
ance continuing, when she wished to take a walk, she
took care to have a gentleman with her. SWI the tall
man with the red whiskers was seen hanging about, fol-
lowing her everywhere, and apparently seeking an oppor-
tunity to speak with her. This annoyed her so much,
