that the female who made the alarm was his lodger that he merely went into her apartmnnts to remonstrate with her for a- bniiig hi wife during his absence at jspsotn races the moment however he spoke to her on the sub ject she began to scream out murder he did not lay a finger upon her and he drew from the room he subsequently heard mr clarke up stairs and knowing thatbe had no bui uea in his bouse he certainly put him out of the window ignorant at the time as to what business he had there- mr jeremy said ilmi it was out of benevolent motives and to prevent mischief that mr clarke went into the house and that treatment he experienced for his kindness could not have been worse mr clarke said that he did not bring the charge foyward from any vindictive feeling he should be satisfied
