are women. To-day crowd assembled
at the workshop of man named Da-
vies, at Dudley, in Woroes tershire, who
was accused of q gross crime on his
daughter, q girl Of 16. The invaders,
| all of whom we're women, dragged him
from his work, tore off most OF his
clothing, and gave him terrible whip
ping with rawhides. The victim
howl for mercy, but was told that he
had shown no mercy to his child, and
he should have none. When the
women were tired of whipping him
they tied him to the tailboard of a cart
with placard on his bleeding back
setting forth the crime with which he
1 nhor
turned over to the police to be tried as
soon as his daughter, who is now con-
fined, is well enough to give her testi-
mony.

; " Having been requested to inquire al
to the truth of the statements printed in
/, the Pail Mall Gazette, and from the
first to exclude inquiry into charges
again at particular men or classes oil
