ness. At the time Of the arrest Haliohan was

judicial court had decided that man arrested
Tor drunkenness could not be held for carrying
deadly weapons unless he had assaulted some
particular person with il. II arrested for lal-
ccny or any other offence save drunkenness, then
he could he complained of for carrying deadly
weapon The Herald says; "Ihat seems strange,

Gently left, the Boston journal says: at would
be well for the parties before whom Star5ey pro-
poses to lecture to ask for his credentials before
they place too much confidence in him or what
he says. IL they shOuldlook the matter over
they would find that lie was sent TO the state
prison in 1854 for poly@amy for five wears, and

Immediately went and married his third wife;
then he set up as a doctor, and while travelling
about the country was arrested for the crime of
rape; that when first arragned he plead not
guilty; that he subsequently retracted that plea
and pleaded guilty, and on that plea was sen
fenced the prison for life; and that another in
indictment Of the same h,nous crime
is on file against him. They will fur
ther show that he was Herer in SOli-
tdiy confinement in the prison, and that
he was pardOned, not because he was innocent,
but on the ground of bis good behavior. And
having found out these facts they will probably
conclude that it is not best to waste much Of
their sympathy or much Of their money on Mr..
Cyrus Tor Charles, as he sometimes calls him
sel0, Starkcy."
