Against Patrick O'Connor.

Ing Mrs. Bridget Barron whether she
liked it or not, will have to answer her
suit for $4,000, the amount which she

Mrs. Barron is the wife OF Steven Bar
ron, clerk who resides at 969 Chester
street, and O'Connor was friend of the
family. He conceived violent fancy for
the wife, and manifested it by kissing her

such position that she was unable to re-
