Charge of Seduction.--Julia Barry of No. 166 Hester street appeared before Judge Welsh late yesterday afternoon, and charged Michael Galvin, with whose parents she had been living as servant girl during the whole of last year, at No. 167 Seventh avenue, with having seduced her some four months since. Michael said, in answer to the charge, that if she did possess virtue, he knew and could prove it to be of a very easy character. The Magistrate being rather doubtful as to her truthfulness from the evidence adduced, dismissed the charge. As they left the Police Court, the long archway of the City Hall basement resounded, until she had made her exit, with the repetitions of "O Galvin! O Galvin! You have spoilt me!"
