THE "EVENING MOON" POSTPONES ITS STATEMENT RESPECTING ANTONY COWLRICK.
We hinted to our readers yesterday that we should have something of
great interest to lay before them to-day with respect to Antony
Cowlrick. For reasons which we shall in due time explain, we postpone
the statement until we can present it in a complete and satisfactory
form. We append a list of subscriptions which have been sent to us in
response to our announcement that we were ready to receive contributions
in aid of the unfortunate man. The signatures of some of the donors are
suggestive:--"One who was Wrongfully Convicted" sends 1s. 6d.; "A Poor
Widow, whose little boy, nine years of age, was lately sentenced to
three months' hard labour for breaking a window," sends a penny postage
stamp; "A man whose life was almost sworn away by the police" sends 6d.;
"One who has been there" sends 2s.; four "Lovers of Justice" send small
sums; "A Reformed Detective" sends 8d.; "A Poor Old Moke" sends 2d.; the
Secretary of a "Mutual Protection Society for the Education of Burglars'
Children" sends 5s.; "M.P.," who intends to ask a question when the
House meets, sends £3 3s.; and sundry others. The total amount now in
our hands is £23 4s. 7d., which we hold at the disposal of Antony
Cowlrick, who, despite his apparent poverty, has not thought fit to
call at our office to claim it.
