Mrs Pankhurst, in a letter to tlio King, requesting an audience with the deputation from the Women's Social and Political Association, declares the question will not be referred to the Ministers, since they do not recognise the men's authority. THE MAN-THRASHER IN COURT. Times— Sydney Sun Special Cables (Received 8 a.m. ) London, February 26. The woman Lindsay stated that although she mistook Lord Woardale for Mr Asquith, she was not prepared to apologise, because she thought Lord Weardale had not so much power to torture women but was equally blameworthy. Men torturing women in the twentieth century ought to be thrashed. In reply to the Magistrate, who pointed out that Lord Weardale was an old man, she said that was all the more shame. FURTHER INCENDIARISM. THERE IS NOTHING SAVED, (Received 8.45 a.m.) London, February 26.
