• Men's Wrongs A meeting took place on Wednesday night at the Melbourne Athenæum, to hear Mrs. Colclough's lecture on the subject of "Men's Wrongs." The chair was occupied by Mr. Warren Ball, who briefly introduced the lady. Mrs. COLCLOUGH said that she now fulfilled the promise which she had made when lecturing on the subject of Women's Rights.' She would not treat now of men's wrongs from the conventional point of view but it was a subject upon which it was impossible to speak without showing strong bias. In reviewing the relative position of the sexes, she would show the injury which was being done to the masculine portion of it. She utterly disclaimed the imputation that she was the mouthpiece of a large connexion of discontented old maids. She looked upon the subject as national and political, and it was in that light that it now counted amongst its supporters a number of large-hearted and liberal minded men. She dealt first with the political wrongs of the men, which she found to be indicated by perpetual fault-finding amongst themselves and the grumblings of the press.
