LabiOd 70nny-a-Lnox's,
Faoc the accounto givcn in the Sydneypape0
of the miners' roll-up at Lnmbton n Iona.
day evening, it appears clearly that the affaer
has been greatly exeggerated, and that New
cdstle correspondents ofthe S~yduney papers
ought to take a little more pan ins seing to
the accuracy of reports before they set the
wires in motion. The followiug instance will
give an idea of the alarm that W.is createdin
Sydney through the manner in which the
affair was mi.srpresented. YCesterday, a lad
who had come from Sydney, in conversatio
with o:ne of our reporters, inforet
him that before she left Sydney he
friends tried t> persuade her it wa
perfectly unsafe for her to venture into thie
oNewcastle district during the present crisis~
their idea evidentiy being, from the accountn
they had read, that there was nothing but
murder and bloodshed in overy direction.
She, however, with the courage that is
characteristie of her sex, came to Newcaetle,
and will, no. doubt, on her return to Sydney
have a good hearty laughbat her friends ior
their timidity.
