Monday, March 21. House Of Lords.—The Sa...
Thesiger . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Disraeli concluded with a severe and pointed criticism upon the course which had been pursued en various public questions bv Sir J . Graham . « .,-,. , i _ ... -.-" Sir G . Grei a "reed with Mr . Gladstone , that this measure should lie defended upon the ground of Imperial policv , and that no attempt should be made to fitter or restrain relig ious freedom . As an Imperial question , there were two points for consideration ; first , had there been such an aggression upon the aavereignty of the Queen and the independency ofthe nation as called upon Parliament to interfere ? and nest , was this a measure -which Parliament should adopt f Upon the first point , he re-died w the objections of Mr . Palmer , Mr .
Herbert , aad other opponents of the bill , and insisted upon tire fallacy of assimilating the case of the Roimn Catholics with that of the Wesleyans , between which there was this essential distinction , that the former * sas an organised body under a fereum Prince , who exercised * mixed spiritual and temporal jurisdiction , who claimed u niversal dominion , and who had appointed these bishops without sanction bv or co mmuirtcition with the Jfrnbb Gwernment-a condition in aU the proposals for substituting vicars-apo ^ Uc fo r buhops u ord inary referred to bv Mr . Gladstone . The bill was no departure Wthe act of IS 29- ; on the contrary it was in harmony with its spirit . ( Hear , hear . ) He defied the opponents of the bill to show tbatit was ious fredom that
hostile to the principlesof relig e , or it in the slightest degree interfered with the exercise of their religion by the Roman Catholics . ( Cheers . ) In replv to an insinuation that the agitation had heen " it up by ehwsciuen , Sir George referred to the dffferent classes of religionists from whom petitions had been received , who bad felt , he said , as Englishmen , that their independence had been assailed . ( Hear , hear . ) The territorial titles , alleged to be only empty names , were the badges and symbols of a " jurisdiction claimed to be exercised by the sole and undivided authority ef the Court of Rome , and the House was asked only to place the brand of illegality upon them . ( Loud cheers , and cries oi Divide , divide .
Mr . P . Howard , amid loud cries for a division , begged leave most indignantly to protest against the impression that the Catholics of England , and ofthe sister kingdom , claimed by the institution of the hierarchy any temporal authority —( hear , hear)—and still more decidedly did he protest against the expression of the right hon . gentleman , that he was about to impose on one-third ofthe inhabitants of the United Kingdom the brand of illegal conduct . ( Cries of " Oh ! oh ! " and " Divide , divide ! " ) Sir G . Grey explained that he had not said a word about placinjrthe brand of illegality on one-third ot his fellow-subjects . (•• Hear , " and laughter . } What he said was that he called upon the House to impose a brand of illegality onthe hadgesand emblems of a jurisdiction which was claimed to be exercised bv the sole and undivided authority ofthe Court of Borne . ( Hear , hear . )
The house then divided , when the numbers -were—For the second reading 433 Against it ... ... w Majority for the second reading ... —343 The bill was then read a second time . In answer to Mr . ItochE , Lord J . Rcssell said he should not propose the committee on the bill to be taken on the first day after the Easter Recess ; he would name tbe day on Monday . AnjouBKMEsr of the House . —Lord J . Russell said , that in consequence of the lateness of the hour to which the house had sat , be would propose that the boose at its rising adjourn till Thursday . Agreed to . The Amekped Budget . — In answer to Mr . Hume , Lord J . Russell stated that on Friday he would state when the new budget would come on . The Armv Estimates would be taken on Fridav .
The other business was disposed of , and the house adjourned at a quarter past three o ' clock . THURSDAY , Mabch 27 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —Political Refugees . — Lord Lt . vdhubst called tbe attention of the house to the reprehensible conduct of certain foreigners -who were at present living in this country under the protection of the laws , bnt who took advantage of that protection to make England a focus of revolutionary intrigue against foreign States . The noble lord then proceeded to illustrate the truth of his remarks by tbe examples of MM . Mazzini and Ledru Roliin , as well as by that of General Klapka , and concluded by stating that he spoke in no unfriendly spirit to the Government , but solely for the purpose of suggesting that something should be done to meet this great evil .
Earl Gbet replied that he would communicate -with Lord Palmersion on the subject , whose attention he knew had already been directed to it . Lord Lyndhnrst seemed to bint at a renewal of the extraordinary measure passed three years ago against foreigners ' which lapsed last session , but he ( Lord Grey ) thought that nothing but the occurrence of ¦ very grave circumstances could justify the government in asking the Legislature to renew that enactment . After some further discussion , in which the Earl of Aberdeen expressed his surprise that Earl Grey had manifested no disapprobation of the conduct pursued by the foreign intriguers , to which Lord Gbet replied that he had not done so because he thought bis disapprobation might be taken for granted , the matter dropped . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Some preliminary business was disposed of , and
Lord J . Russell then stated tbe government proposition with regard to the Court of Chancery . jTe said that he considered it necessary to make a diminution of the duties of the Lord Chancellor , by separating the judicial and legislatorial functions , as from the accumulation of arrears it was patent to the whole country that the Lord Chancellor could not perform both duties to the advantage of the State , withont totally injuring his own health . After reviewing the several plans of reform which had been urged on the government , the noble lord stated that , the bill which he intended proposing , went partly upon the foundation that it was desirable to have more than one judge sitting in tbe Court of Chancery ; and , secondly ,
that it was desirable the Government should have a greater portion of his time for the consideration of political subjects , than he was now able to afford . The noble lord proposed to form a Supreme Court of Chancery , to consist of the Lord Chancellar , the . Master of the Rolls , and one of the Judges of tho courts of common law , to be released from attendance in his own court . Any two of these Judges were to be competent to exercise the power now belonging to the Lord Chancellor , who -would only exercise it himself as a member of this supreme court . The Lord Chancellor ' s salary to be £ 10 , 000 per annum , with a retiring pension ef £ 5 , 000 . The ecclesiastical patronage now belonging to the Lord Chancellor to be vested in the Crown .
After some discussion , leave was given to bring iu the bill . FRIDAY , Mahch 28 .
HOUSE OF LORDS . —The Cossoudated Fosn Bill was read a iecond time , and their lordships adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Lord J . Russell , in replying to a question , took occasion to announce the intentions of the government , respecting the course of public business . It was propesed , he said , that the house should sit to-morrow ( this day ) , to receive the report of the Committee of Supply on the Army Estimates voted that evening ; that on Monday it should again go into Committee of Supply on the Army and Ordnance Estimates ; that on Friday next the Chancellor ofthe Exchequer would state the alterations he proposed to make in his financial arrangements , and on the same day move in Committee of
Ways and Means a resolution respecting the continuance of the income tax , when tbe proposition of Mr . Hemes might be debated ; that the Ecclesiastical Titles' Assumption Billshouldbe committed on Friday , the 2 nd of May ; and with respect to the measure for the abolition of the office of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland , he observed that the proposition made last year had shown that the general opinion in Ireland was favourable to the continuance of tbe office , and although bis opinion in favour of its discontinuance remained unaltered , looking at the quantity of business before tbe house he did not intend to introduce that measure this session . He added that when the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill bad passed through committee , be thought it desirable to proceed with the remaining stages of that bill as expeditiously as possible .
The House then went into Committee of Supply upon the Army Estimates , which occupied tbe remainder ofthe evening , and the house adjourned at half-past one o ' clock .

_ . .. , .'.-F-I. Papal Aggressions In E...
_ . .. , . ' .-f-i . PAPAL AGGRESSIONS IN ENGLAND . ¦ On Mondav evening a very important , yet very stormy , meeting was held in the hall of the worichouse ofthe Holborn U nion , in the Gray s Innroad , for the purpose of considering further the subject of Papal aggression and the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill . The meeting represented the united parishes of St . Andrew , Holborn . above the bars , and St George the Martyr ,. Middlesex . Mr . Talbot , the senior churchwarden of the Trinity district , in thechair . -The chairman bavins opened the meetins , it was addressed severally by Mr . Clark . Mr . Tidraareh , Mr . Humphreys , and Mr . Cook Evans ,
the barrister . From the continual interruptions of a large body of Roman Catholics , among whom were several females of the lower class , it is impossible to g ive any detailed report . The first resolution , however , was most enthusiastically carried * . — "Thatthis meeting being fully persuaded that the question of the recent aggression by the Pope of Rome in this country effects the civil rights and political liberties of Englishmen ; and it is firmly of opinion that nothing less than a strong and effective legislaiive measure , prohibiting under severe penalties the assumption of any power by the Pope in England , beyond the privileges conferred by the Emancipation Act of 1829 , will satisfy the country ; and furthermore , that it considers that inasmuch as all the pains and penalties against the Pope and'his emissariesfor assuming territorial titles in this country , are reduced to find it is most important , for the
interests of her Majesty ' s loyal aud Protestant subjects , that any other than the Attorney-General for the time being , may be at liberty to prosecute for the recovery of snch fine or fines—otherwise such bill may be rendered altogether inoperative . " Reference was then made to the letter of Lord John Russell , whose name was received with a storm of hisses , and laughter at the " Boy who wrote up No Popery , and then ran away ! " Other resolutions having been passed npon the subject , it was moved and carried : —• " That tbe whole be embodied in a petition to the House of Commons , and that the chairman should sign the said petition on behalf of the meeting . " This resolution was also carried , and the thanks of the meeting having been voted to the worthy chairman , the meeting separated , with most enthusiastic cheering for the Queen and the consti tution .
DISTRESSED SEEDLE-WOMES'S SOCIETY . On Monday a meeting of the supporters , principally ladies , of this society , was held at the Home of Industry , 75 , yewraan-street , Oxford-street . The chair was taken by J . Xicolay , Esq . At the request of the chairman , a lady proceeded to read the report which had been prepared for the occasion . From this document it appeared that though the endeavours of the committee during the last twelve months had been prosecuted under great difficulties , still they had been crowned with success . Upwards of 800 sempstresses had been registered , and the applications frora houses of business had been so numerous that it was found necessary to advertise repeatedly for fresh hands , A requisition from the leading honses in London , bearing 150 signatures had been received , stating the intention of these parties to
cooperate with the committee , and assist them in carrying out their designs . The society regretted that tbe system of becoming security for the work placed 11 tbe bands of deserving females should have been misconstrued ; the committee made no reduction in the earnings , as the sempstress took home her own work , and made out her own bill , the price being regulated , and received the fall pay for her labour . The report further stated , that the committee regretted that the want of sufficient means had prevented the fully carrying out of a plan for tbe paying of premiums with orphans whom it might be deemed desirable to teach needle-working . One gentleman , however , had undertaken to provide instruction for fifty , and a lady for twenty ; and it was hoped that the knowledge of this fact would stimulate others to extend tbe means
of the society . It was gratifying to the committee to state the successful result of a deputation from the society to the government , soliciting the discontinuance of prison labour at unfair prices . The Home Secretary gave immediate orders for the abandonment of such a plan , thereby improving the labour market . —The report baving been adopted , it was moved and seconded , that it should be forthwith printed and circulated , —The Chairman said , it had been intimated to him that the house in which the meeting was then assembled had been taken by a lady for the purpose of affording a home and a place of refuge for the deserving destitute belonging to that particular
class for which the society interested itself . Tbe lady in question had paid tbe rent of the house for one year , and given further security for it . He thought the least they could do was , to propose a vote of thanks to the lady who had thus charitably stepped forward to assist the distressed . —Carried unanimously . —Mr . Roper , the Secretary , read a financial statement , from which it appeared , that out of a sum of £ 345 , there remained , after paying all expenses , some of which had been very heavy , a balance in the bankers' hands of £ 29 . —The thanks of the meeting baving been voted to tbe chairman , for the kind and prompt manner in which he had acted , the meeting separated .
SUNDAY TRADLVG PREVENTION BILL . At a public meeting held ou Monday evening last , March 24 th , at the Literary Institution , Johnstreet , Fitzroy-square , convened to consider the provisions of Mr . W . Williams' Bill to suppress Sunday Trading , wherein it is proposed to restrict the sale of Sunday newspapers , and to prohibit entirely the sale of the Unstamped . Press on the Sunday . —Thomas Cooper ( author of the Purgatory of Suicides , ) in the chair . The following resolution , proposed by D . W . Rudy , and seconded by Samuel Kydd , was carried unanimously : — " That the Sunday Trading Prevention Bill , now before a committee of the House of Commons , is both uncalled for and unjust ; uncalled for , because it is a vain attempt to coerce tbe people into piety by act of parliament ; unjust , because it abridges the liberty
ofthe working man in providing for his own and his family ' s wants , whilst the well-to-do are practically exempt from its provisions ; ( thus it makes it sinful for a poor man to bay a slice of bacon on Sunday , whilst a bishop may on that day have meat , game , and poultry , delivered at his apostolic abode ;) therefore this meeting expresses its reprobation of any restrictive Sabbath legislation , and views the present attempt as additional evidence of the evil effects of class legislation . "—A petition to the House of Commons praying for tho rejection Of the bill , and for the opening of the British Museum , the National Gallery , and other public national exhibitions , on the Sundays and holidays during the year was then adopted . The meeting then separated , after paying the usual compliment to the Chairman .
The GBEATExHrBtrroK . —Mekting op American-Exhibitors . —On Wednesday evening a meeting of " American contributors , agents , and others from the United States of America , " was held at the Chapter Coffee-house , J ? aternoster-row , in pursuance of an advertisement , in which it was stated that they were convened , " on important business connected with the Exhibition f Mr . St . John * of New York , in the chair . Tbe meeting proceeded to discuss a series of resolutions which had been prepared at a previous meeting , held at the same place , on Saturday last , the purport of which was , that they strongly opposed the appointment of the Queen to decide on the relative merits of the foreign contributions ; also to the adjudication of the bronze medals as prizes by the Royal
Commissioners , when awards of much greater value had been promised , which they considered not keeping faith with contributors ; they also objected to the price of admission of three guineas for a season ticket . S ' rong observations were made in consequence of contributors being at the expense of erecting their own " fittings . " It was stated that English contributors were at the expense ; but in answer , it was observed that the original understanding was , that contributors should be at no expense . Another ground of complaint was , in reference to the delay in affording protection to articles which required a patent ; and upon this subject a resolution was agreed to , that a deputation be appointed to wait on Sir G . Grey , intimating to him that until some security be
given to such contributions , no packages should be opened . It was intimated to the reporters present that the meeting was intended to be private , but the question raised by their presence was taken into consideration , and they received notice that they might take notes ef the * proceedings , provided these were afterwards subjected to the supervision af the meeting . The press of this country is not accustomed to submit itself to tbe supervison of any body of men . the proceedings of which it may be called upon to report ; and it is not from Americans that such an attempt to shackle its free action could have been expected . Most of the reporters left on receiving this intimation , bat one or two remained behind ,
under tbe impression that there was no objection to the publication of the formal resolutions arrived at . The meeting separated at a late hour . Repeal ofthe Window Tax . —A meeting of metropolitan delegates , for obtaining the total and unconditional repeal of the window tax , was held last Wednesday evening , at the Marylebone Court-house , "to take tbe most efficient measures in order to secure the above object . " There was a large attendance of delegates , including representatives from the parishes of Marylebone , St . Pancras , St . Anne ' s , Soho ; st . James ' s , Westminster ; St . Giles ' s , St . Luke ' s , Old-street ; and St . Mary . Islington . There were also present Sir Benjamin Hall , M . P ., and Mr . Mowatt , M . P .

Presentation Of A Testimonial To James M...
PRESENTATION OF A TESTIMONIAL TO JAMES MATHER , ESQ . On Saturday last a public meeting of tbo miners of Northumberland and Durham was held in the Lecture Room , uvNewcastle-on-Tyne , for the purpose'of presenting a . testimonial of gratitude and esteem to Mr . Mather , of South Shields , whose zealous and disinterested labours , both as an able and active member ofthe South Shields Committee for the Prevention of Accidents in Mines , and individually , have won for him " golden opinions" on the part of the whole mining population throughout the North of England and the friends of humanity everywhere . Theroeeting took place at four o ' clock ,
and although the attendance would doubtless have been much more numerous had the time and locality been more convenient , yet there was a considerable number present , including representatives from all the leading collieries in the two counties . We also observed some of the princi pal viewers engaged in the trade , with Captain Weatherlev , and other iivfluentfal inhabitants of the town " Mr . Mather was accompanied by Mr . Goldsworth Gurney , the celebrated inventor of the steam jet , and on entering the room was warmly applauded . The testimonial—a splendid silver cup—was placed in front ofthe audience . The following was inscribed upon the plate : —
" Presented to James Mather , Esq ., of South Shields , by the Coal Miners ' Society of Northumberland and Durham , as a token of gratitude for . bis talented and praiseworthy exertions in promOtM ? measures to diminish thedangers arising from bad ventilation and other causes , in the mines of this kingdom-22 nd March , 1831 . " On the motion of Mr . Maetis Jons , Mr . Hammond , a respectable and intelligent coalminer , was called to the chair . After adverting to the gratifying , circumstances of their meeting , which was to render honour to a . gentleman eminently deserving of it , he said thafche sometimes thought of an observation of one of our eminent poets : — -,
" He that is guilty of ingratitude , He has no crimes but onfi . " For all his other crimes are virtues when compared with this . ( Applause . ) As was well known , the miners were exposed to greater dangers than almost any other body of men . Not only were they liable to imminent and instantaneous death , but they were also in danger of labouring in the midst of destructive gases which prey upon the vitals , cause the lungs to cease their play , and which bring on premature old ago . ( Hear , hear . ) They had long desired that these evils should be removed , but . irenerallv speaking , understanding nothing of
a scientific nature , they had not been able themselves to enter into the subject as waa required ; they were , however , tbe more thankful to those gentlemen who had come forward in order to increase their safety , and to preserve them from a premature grave . He did not like to occupy much of their time , and he would therefore say at once that they were met to present a token of respect and kindness to their worthy friend , Mr . Mather , for the exertions which he bad been pleased to make on their behalf —{ loud applause)—and to evince to him the gratitude which they felt to him for all he had done for them . ( Cheers . ) Small as the gift washe might almost say
, "It was all their store , More would they give , if they had more . " ( Cheers . ) Mr . Mather did not require any suoh present from their hands , but they designed it as a token of gratitude , and as such that gentleman would receive it . ( The Chairman then invited Mr . Mather to accept the gift , saying that he hoped their friend would still be actuated by the humane feelings which had hitherto moved him , and that he and his family would long live to enjoy the gift- ) . '
Mr . Mather , who was very warmly received , then came forward , evidently impressed with feelings of grateful emotion , and delivered , a lengthened and able speech , which was repeatedly applauded . Our limited time and space preclude us from giving more than a mere abridgement . He addressed the meeting as '' miners of the North of England , " observing that he understood there were in attendance bodies of men representing most of the mines in the northern district . Tbe token of kindness which they had given him for any efforts which he made , or the earnest disposition which he had shown to serve one of the most interesting classes in this kingdom , ho received with gratitude . ( Applause . ) Thrown among them at a moment of
great trial and suffering , when men ' s BOUls WCI' 0 tried , and when the best * developments of our nature displayed themselves , he had then an opportunity of marking as noble virtues as ever adorned humanity *—men willing to sacrifice themselves to save the lives of others ; men , who were prostrated by the deadly enemy which was found turning in every vein of the mine , when restored from a momentary death , evincing as their first feeling a desire to return and expose themselves to danger that tbey might save the lives of their fellows . ( " Hear , hear , " end applause . ) At that moment he , for one , determined to make some effort to rescue the minersfrom the dangers which were perpetually hanging over them , feeling that it was an
opprobrium on this enlightened age that men should continue to be so exposed , without a determined effort being made on their behalf . Living , fortunately , in a district well able to receive and appreciate such feelings , he had only to name the subject for his suggestions to be immediately acted upon , and on the very day of the explosion of St . Hilda ' s colliery , tbe South Shields Committee on Mines was formed . That committee , as it is now recorded in the mining annals of this country , worked for three long years , devoting themselves sincerely , anxiously , earnestly , and fearlessly to the great duties which tbey had undertaken . ( Applause . ) It was a matter of pleasure to remember that four or five of the principal suggestions
made by that committee , have since been earned out by the Government and the Legislature . ( Renewed cheers . ) Premising that his desire was to make the meeting not merely complimentary , but , if possible , useful and practical , he proceeded to describe in what respects that committee had been of service to the mining interest , and especially in promoting the health and safety of the miner . Mr . Mather then proceeded to address the meeting at considerable length , and concluded by again thanking themeeting for the handsome token of their esteem which stood before him . Not only ( he added ) was it intrinsically valuable , but it brought" with it something of much greater value , the expression of kind hearts and the knowledge that , in the opinion of those most interested in the
subject , tbe committee in whose labours he had taken so prominent a part , had not misapplied their time or misdirected their ' energies , but had been of some service to a numerous and important portion of the community . ( Cheers . ) There were two classes for whom he had an especial regard , both of whom , seeing the diverse operations of Providence in their daily labours , must become reflective and better men ; and to have received from one Of these such a compliment as had that day been paid him , was a circumstance which he could never forget throughout all his future existence . Mr . Mather then resumed his seat amidst loud and protracted plaudits , and after several other speakers had addressed the meeting , it separated with a vote of thanks to the chairman .--Newcastle Guar ' dian .

Mansion-House,—Uobbert,—A Young Man Of R...
MANSION-HOUSE , —Uobbert , —A young man of respectable appearance , who assumed the name of James Bond , was brought before the Lord Mayor upon the charge of having robbed Mr . Acton , of Shoe-lane , emery manufacturer , of twelve cheques , a bill of exchange , and other securities for money , under the singular circumstances stated in the fol . lowing evidence :- —Mr .. George William Acton , of No 72 , Shoe-lane , said : I went on Monday at about half-past twelve o ' clock , into the London Joint-stock Bank , where I keep an account , and was about to pay in £ 96 18 s . Id ., in twelve cheques , a bill of exchange for £ 208 Us . 6 d ., and a country letter of credit for £ 100 . I had placed the cheques and
and other papers on the counter , was waiting mv turn to beatteneed to , when I saw the prisoner suddenlv snatch them from the counter . I turned round , cried «< Stop thief , " and followed him , and I Cau 4 t him at the outer door . He had the papers all rolled up in bis hand , and he immediately gave them up to me upon being brought back to the office At the moment he seized the papers I was looking for one of the subscription books , several of which are kept on the counter .-One of the cashiers confirmed the acconnt given by Mr . Acton in its essential points .-Thc Lord Mayor asked the prisoner , who stood at the bar with his hands before bis face , whether he wished to put any questions to tbe witnesses . —Prisoner : No . —Committed
for trial . ' . . , ; . , , _ Robber * -. -- Ellen Kestereski and Nicholas Kestereski . her husband , was brought up , charged with having stolen two dozen pairs of trousers and several coats and waistcoats , the property of a poor woman named Evans , who keeps a locker in Isaacs s Clothes-market , in the neighbourhood of Houndsditch . Tho female prisoner had been observed on Fridav night by an officer , carrying a bundle , and taken to the station-house under suspicion of having stolen it . Tbe bundle was found to consist of clothes , and the women said they were her husband ' s property , and at once gave the station sergeant her address . The husband attended and claimed the bundle , declaring that his wife had
robbed bim of it , but that , as she was so near a relation , he would not punish her , and off they went , together with the clothes . Next day it was found that a locker in the Clothes-market had been opened by means of two pieces of iron , and the description of the articles plundered exactly suiting that of the clothes which had been found in tbe female prisoner ' s possession , the two prisoners were apprehended . ; -The Lord Mayor , addressing the woman , told her that the present was about the fortieth time she had been brought to the Mansionhouse for misconduct , but , in all probability , the result of the present prosecution would for some time rid society of such a nuisance . The property in the bundle was then identified by the
woman whose locker had been broken open . She at once identified the two prisoners as persons who had been lurking about the market during Friday , and it was proved that they had sold some of tbe articles immediately after they were discharged from the station-house , and to persons in the immediate neighbourhood of the clothes-market .

The prisoner was found last Monday soliciting charity in the Strand , and although he appeared to be blind he never asked alms when a police-constable was near , but immediately he had disappeared he would commence his old "dodge " again . When he was taken into custody he said he had been in this country five years , and he had a
right to beg for a living . —The prisoner said he was totally blind , and had no other resource to get a living . —The constable said the prisoner could not be blind , as when the prisoner entered the court he appeared to know that he had to ascend some steps . He had frequently seen him of a night in Drurylane , drinking and smoking with other Lascars , after they had been out begging all day . —Mr . Jardine said he had heard a great deal about the prisoner , who , he was'informed , Was not blind , but adopted that plan for the purpose of deceiving the public .

Redgrave , Sub-Inspector of factories , for Offending against the act relating to labour in factories , by employing Charles Matthews , a young person under the age of eighteen years , after the hours of seven o ' clock on the evening of the 13 th day of March .-Mr . Redgrave gave evidence to prove that he visited the defendant ' s manufactory at half-past seven o ' clock in the evening of the 13 th day . of March , and found the boy Matthews at work : the rule of law was for them to leave off work at seven o ' clock . The defendant had once before infringed this rule
with some girls in bis employ . —Defendant admitted the fact that the boy had worked to the time described , but it was in consequence of one of his tenants taking in a large quantity of coals on that day . —Charles Matthews , the boy , confirmed the evidence of Mr . Redgrave . Ho generally worked from seven in the morning until seven in the evening . —Mr . Combe remarked that there ought to be some rule or system adopted , so that the boys and girls employed in the manufactory should leave off work at seven o ' clock in the evening . The governraent had been at great expense , and there were various reasons why the act of parliament had been passed . The penalty was £ 3 , or not less than £ 1 . Under these circumstances , he would inflict the mitigated penalty of 20 s . and costs , which the defendant instantly paid , and left the court .
Illicit Distillery . —Henry Haines aud Eluaheth Collins , were placed at the bar , charged by the excise with having been concerned in working a private still . —It appeared from tho evidence of George Lowe and Richard Oliver , excise-officers , that , 111 consequence of information that a private still was worked in a house , situate No . 11 , St . John ' s-street , Clerkenwell , they proceeded together on Monday evening , at five o ' clock , for the purpose of making a seizure . The door was opened by a man who had two large bull-dogs , when he told them to keep out of the way whilst he secured tho animals , or they would bite them . He slipped by them and madn
his escape . On proceeding to the front kitchen they found a largo still at lull work , and the male prisoner was attending to it in his shirt-sleeves , it was a thirty gallon copper still , and charged with rectifying spirits , and running from the worm-end , and more than fifty-five over proof . There were 100 gallons of molasses wash in three tubs , and in a can seven gallons of strong spirits , and five large bags evidently for yeast . There were also three or four tubs tilled with water , and a strong fire under the still . The female prisoner and a child were also in tbo place , and there was no , doubt from what she said that she was the wife-of the man who had made his escape with the bull-dogs . The whole of
Mansion-House,—Uobbert,—A Young Man Of R...
the property was seized , and- the prisoners were taken to the station-house . —Mr . Coinlie asked tbe male prisoner what he had to say to the charge ? He replied , "Nothing . "—Mr .

MARYLEBONE . —Robberv nr a Pole—A Pole , named Racibuski ,. was placed at the bar before Mr .

to tbe house , and having rung the boll , ho was admitted by one of the servants , to whom he handed a letter addressed to his Lordship . The servant took the letter upstairs , leaving the prisoner in tbe hall , and on going down to give an answer , he found that the prisoner had decamped , taking with him a coat belonging to Mr . Birkbeck , a barrister , who at the time was his Lordship ' s guest at dinner . The letter alluded to falsely purported to be written by Lieutenant Szulczewski , secretary to the Literary Association of tbe Friends of Poland , and it recommended "the bearer" to assistance in the sum of 7 s . Od . At six o ' clock last Monday evening , police-constable 172 C took into custody the prisoner , who was pointed out to him by the secretary ,
by whom he was recognised while walking along Piccadilly . He admitted having stolen the COat , and said he had sold it to a Jew ( giving his name and residence ) for 4 s . It was further stated , that the prisoner was known to Horsford , of the Mendicity Society , as a begging impostor . —Mr . Birkbeck was not in attendance , nor had the coat been traced , and in order to afford time for the officer employed in the case to institute further inquiries , the prisoner was remanded till Tuesday nexr . MARLBOROUGII-STREET . — Indecent As . sault . —John Tattersall , a person holding a situation in ; the Customs , living in Edward-square , Brompton , was fully committed on the clearest evidence , in two separate cases , of havingconducted

Hammill with the commission of wilful and corrupt perjury—Mr . George "Winter , a wine-merchant in Tabernacle-walk , Finsbury , deposed : that on the 11 th of November last the defendant , who was an entire stranger to him , was introduced to him at his counting house by a person named Smith , and haying informed him that he wished to purchase some wines for a gentleman in tho country , selected a quantity of port and sherry to the amount of £ 276 s ., which be
requested might be forwarded to a Mr . Saunders , of Ramsay , in Huntingdonshire . The wine was accordingly transmited pursuant to his directions , accompanied by an invoice . And about a week afterwards tho defendant , again waited upon him , and inquired if lie had received a Post-office order for the amount . Witness replied in the negative , and the defendant observed that in that case be mig ht as well pay it himself , and produced a crossed check for £ 24 lis ., together with two pounds in cash , which he handed to him , stating that it was all the money he had with him , and promised to call with the balance in a few days . The defendant then requested an acknowledgment , and witness directed his son to make out another invoice ,
which he receipted and handed to him . The defendant , however , did not keep , his appointment , and after several fruitless applications for the balance he commenced proceedings for the recovery of the amount in the Shoreditch County Court , where the defendant appeared on 23 rd of January last to contest the claim and having been formally s worn as a witness , not only denied his liability , but positively denied baving purchased any wine 01 the complainant , or that he had . received any invoice or other document relating to the transaction . The question was more than once put to him . by the complainant ' s legal adviser , but the defendant still persisted in the same assertion . The most convincing evidence , however , was adduced in supporPof the claim , and the defendant was thereupon ordered to pay the balance in the course of the week . On the same evening witness received an official letter from the solicitor to the Commissioners of Inland
Revenue * apprising him that an unstamped receipt which was stated to have been given by him on the 11 th November for £ 24 lis ., had been that day lodged at their office for the purpose of a prosecution being entered against him for the recovery of penalties , and that unless he furnished them with a srtisfactory explanation in the course of tbe week , an Exchequer process would be issued against him . He lost no time in attending at Somerset House , where he found that the receipt referred to , was the very receipted invoice he had given to the defendanc ^ and which the latter denied had ever been in his possession ; on the same day he had lodged it at the Stamp-office , and had been examined at the County Court . The Exchequer process was followed up against him , and he was subsequently amerced in the commuted penalty of 40 s . upon which ho directed his solicitor to indict the defendant for perjury . Prisoner was remanded .
GUILDHALL . —Careless Dbiviso . — C . Jennings , driver of the omnibus 0 , 927 , was summoned for causing violent injury to a passenger by his conveyance . —Mr . J . Polwarth , of Belgrave-square , said that he entered defendant ' s bus , telling him to set him down in St . Paul ' s-churchyard . On reaching the end of his journey he was getting out , when , while he was still standing on the steps of the vehicle , defendant called out " all right , " and the horses went on . Complainant was thrown to the ground , and catching the handle of tbe door in his descent , was dragged along the ground through the mud , and received numerous severe contusions . — Defendant pleaded guilty , but said he was not accustomed to the horses . —Alderman Finnis said it was a bad case . He frequently noticed omnibuses crawling along , losing time , and afterwards go at a furious rate , to compensate for the loss . In all such cases he would visit tbe offence severely . Defendant was then fined 20 s . and costs .
WANDSWORTH .-FRADD .-LouisaClarke . ahas Jane Gardiner , a meek-looking girl , who was stated to be fourteen , but appeared much younger , was placed in the dock before Mr . Beadon , charged with obtaining by fraud the sum of 3 s . from Mr . Richard Simpson , of No . 1 , Nelson-terrace , CJapham , —The complainant , who , from his volunteered statement , was either vicar or incumbent of Mitcham , but seceded to the Church of Rome , and had since been living as a private gentleman at Clapham , stated in his evidence , that on Monday evening , about eight o ' clock , the prisoner came to his house with a letter , which she said she had brought from Mrs . Martin , and was to have an answer . The letter , which was a mere scrawl , was
handed to the magistrate , and was as follows : — " Mrs . Martin sends her duty to you , and would be much obliged to you if you could let her have 3 s for she has got some money to make up to-nbht , or I would not trouble , you . " Mr . Simpson said he knew no one except his laundress of that name and thought it very strange that she should take such a liberty . He questioned the little girl as to her knowledge of Mrs . Martin , and she said that she was her aunt , and her name was Jane Gardiner . He paid ner the money , though he believed she was imposing on him , and she signed a receipt in the name of Jane Gardiner . He then detained her , and gave her into custody . She said she Jived at Ho . 19 , Cross-street . His cook had seen a man stop at
bis house at the same time as the girl , and heard him say , « That ' s right , " and then walked on .-In answer to questions put by the magistrate , the prisoner , who never once changed countenance , said a woman named Gardiner called her to her door , gave her the letter , told her wher , e to take it , and bring the answer back , when she would give her twopence . —The mother of the prisoner here said she had been to Mrs . Gardiner , and she denied all knowled ge of it . —Mr . Beadon said she had done a very foolish thing she should have left the matter in the hands ofthe police . —The mother of the girl said she had been induced to send her girl to the convent school at Clapham , and it had been the ruin of her since she had got connected with the convent girls . —Mrs . Martin said she had never written to Mr . Simpson for money , and knew nothing of the prisoner . Thero was a girl named Jane Gardiner who went to the convent school . —
Mr » Beadon observed it was aU nonsense with reference to the convent school . It was more likely the prisoner mi ght have got into bad company , and was the dupe of some party . He wished to know if the father ofthe prisoner was present — John Clarke , of Prescott-place , Cross-street , Clapham , a respectable looking man , stepped forward and the magistrate took his recognisances of £ 10 forthere-appearanceofthegirl . and he requested that every exerttou might be made by tbe police to detect tbe real guilty party .
