News of last evening. The article charges
me with running into and breaking the wheel
of Miss Whitelock's bicycle. 10 is true there
was an unavoidable collision, but the father
of Miss Whitelock denies that the wheel is
broken. The article also says that after the
collision, proceeded on my way without in
quiring as to whether the young lady was in
jured. This is not true, not only stopped,
but asked the young lady if she was injured
and also inquired why she did not keep to
the right. She replied she could not control
her wheel. The affair was purely accidental.

The adoption of the report was moved
by Mr.. Lecna I'd and opposed by Messrs.
