A BOGUS "ESCAPED NUN."

A paragraph has been going the rounds of the papers with reference to the rescue by two gentlemen cf a yonng woman who, il was asserted was detained m a Sydney Convent against her will. It turns out that the faots were very much confused. Che «• Sydney Bulletin "says:— "The :ast ' Escaped Nun ' racket proveß to bo an awful shim. The lady who bolted, aa was supposed, from the Good Sttmritan Convent. In Pitt-Street, Sydney, last week, and appealed to the publio outside for protection, was not a fair young recluse making a burst for liberty with her golden hair hanging down about her ears, and streaming over her shirt collar ; nor had she been confined for 12 months m a 1 oell ; on the oontrary, sho was a fallou woman of a drunken description — » g-'m old half-centuty female from the Magdalene Refuge adjoining the Convent, and not even the mau who wrote ' The Toilers of the Sea ' could make a romance ont of her. She enterß the Bef age and partakes of the hospitality of the kindly nuns periodically, and periodically she bolts for another spree. "
