ges upon helpless women. We learn from the
Herald that on Saturday night last an unfortu-
nate washerwoman having been detained ra-
ther later than usual in delivering her weekly

fifteen Williams, conveyed to a lonely and un-
frequented spot, and there most brutally treat
ed by them, and then left insensible. After Law

was picked up by policeman and taken 10

heinous crime have not yet been arrested
