A Safe CONFERENCE.-The Recorder of Bel
fast has just made q discovery which can
not fail to be Of the highest moment to
mankind, Innocent and criminal. A. young
man whose appearance threw the lawyer
into an ecstaay, was convicted of an inde-
cent assault upon a young woman whose at
fractions were described in quite touch

| young man-that fine young man who
stood in the dock,n being tempted by his
position towards the prosecutrix, who, il
seesns, was employed near him in one OF
the local mills, Then he descented on the
young woman's styouth, appearance and at
i traction she seemed to be delicate :" bul
the twelve had nothing to do with that
1 Then there was the stereotyped laudatiou
of ssthat most patient and most attentive
|, jury" who proved their intelligence by
recommending the prisoner to mercy. His
, worship said he had never q more painful
, duty imposed upon him than sentencing
i "fhe fine yonng man, He then gave him
/ four months imprisonment; and reached
the climax of garrulous anility in the fol-
+ lowing comforting words: s'If you are
