SUMMARY OF NEws.---The Rev. G..
T. Williams, Of Suffolk, who was
lately accused Of picking lady's
pocketin an omnibus in New York
City, has received on all sides numer-
GUS expressions Of sympathy and
kindness. Bishop Johns, Of Vir-
ginia, who happened to be in the city
at the time, expressed his willingness
to testify to the high religious eharac-
ter Of this unfortunate clergyman, and
has said that he could rely with no
more implicit confidence upon the
probity of any clergyman in his
Diocese. A letter has also been
received from the vestry of Mr..
Williams's church in Suffolk, writ
ten without solicitation, stating the
implicit confidence of the congre-
CATION. in the innocence of their
pastor. Mr.. Williams was on his way
to callIupon Bishop Potter, and enter
ing an omnibus he took a seat, the
omnibus being full elswhere, next to
Mrs. Morse, the lady whose pocket
book was taken. Shortly after taking
his seat heo noticed the pQrtmouaie
lying between himself and Mrs. Morse,
and took it up, intending to advertise
in the morning for the owner Z Upon
leaving the omnibus he was seized
upon the complaint Of Miss Loving,
and at once arrested. We CLEAN the
facts from the Southern Churchaaan,
which has copied an article from the
