(Received April 30th, 12,5 a.m.) SYDNEY, April SO. Tom Mann, addressed tiie crowd shortly after his acquittal. He said he would not have whimpered if he had got five years for the job.

Mann was charged at Albury with riot, and unlawful assembling on January 4th and January Bth, .md thereMas also a charge which in the quaint language of the law alleged that on January 4th. he conspired, by voice and violence, to prevent certain people •rim following their usual occupatioi; and calling, and from lawfully passing and re-pageing to and trom the ProT.rietary mine. Mann (the "Sydney Morning Herald" reports) appeared in Court looking well groomed, with v axed moustache, and a brilliant red flower in his. buttonhole. Ho is a short, dark, thick-set man of about fifty, with the snow of time just commencing to show in his hair, and his general appearance seems peculiarly suggestive- of his old profession—<?ncinoerinsr,. -Among the spectators in Court was Mrs Mann, the only woman present, and doubly conspicuous by a brilliant red tie that ehe was wearing.
