Referring to the block of buildings between Cow-cross and Peter'-lane, in the east central district, be says :—" The whole of these rookeries, inhabited principally by the lowest characters, are in every respect totally unfit for human occupation, and, for this reason, I believe they have been already condemned • if so, the eviction should be proceeded with at once, for:be sides the dilapidated state of the whole, the pest-breeding stench arising from the accumulated filth and the over crowded state of every house are such that it is no wonder that cholera and fever reign supreme. In Broad-yard, which consists of 17 houses, inhabited by 45 families, eight liaisons sleeping within a yard of the only closet in the court were attacked by cholera ; of these eight but one re covered. In Rose-alley, where 32 families dwell in 14 small houses, having again but one closet for the common use, Nos. 8,9, 10, 11, and 12, are full of fever—five cases were taken this week to Bartholomew's Hospital ; other cases at home.

On the au thority of the missionary consulted by me, and who meet kindly gave me every facility for obtaining information, I have to state that the whole of this property belongs to only two persons—one, a most influential vestryman of the pariah, and the other a lunatic. The missionary so lemnly assured me that these places were never entered by either a clergies= or a policeman ; the only visitors to these wretched domiciles being the doctor and hiuiself."

EQUITY COURTS.—Nov. 14. (Before the Right Hon. the Master of the Bolls.) 0111CLAL LIQUIDATORS. At the sitting of the court this morning Lord Homily said he wisW to observe, with respect to the report of what he stated yesterday as to official liquidation, he was represented assnyim that in oases of wandinp up under the superviaion of the court, he always called upon the official liquidators to give ample security. His lordship never did anything of the kind. He had not the power to de so. What he really did say was that he always would call upon them to do so if he could ; but that, unfortu nately in those cases the court had no jurisdiction to do anything of the sort, unless the parties applied to it for the purp ose . He was also re p r esented to have said that he thought the observations in the Standard newspaper did sot apply to official liquidators. That was incorrect, because all liquidators were official liquidators. The ob servations, no doubt, did not apply to official liquidators acting under a compulsory winding up order. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—Nov. 14. Sittings in Banco.—Before the Lord Chief Justice and Justices Mellor, Shee, and Lush.) This was crown paper day. WOOD ANDANOTHEH(APEILLLANTS) C. roams (agaroworarr). This is the case which was partly argued on Saturday before two judges, but, in consequence of its great impor tance, it was arranged that it should be re-argued to-day before the full court. It wag an appeal against a conviction under the Masters and Servants .Aet. Mr. Manisty, Q.C. with whom was Mr. Pinder, ap ein support o f conviction. The object of the Masten ra and Servants Act was to prevent unlawful cm binations of men to intimidate their employers, and the conviction in this case was for unlawfully, by using certain threats, forcing or endeavouring to force the respondent to limit the number of his apprentices. The case stated that upon the hearing of the information it was proved by the respondent, and found as facts, that he was a master builder, carrying on business in Stockton, and the appellants are the president and secretary of a society known as the United Order of Bricklayers. In October last the respondent was erecting certain buildings, when he sent one of his men to a certain place for • ladder. Barron, one of the appellants, was seen to speak to the men, but what he said to them was not known, upon which the men went beck to the building, collected their tools, and said they had been stopped from working. Respondent asked why, when he was told he must know that it was on account of his having four apprentices. The men by their agreement Pere at liberty to leave and the respondent to discharge them at any time. Respondent afterwards wiote to the secretary of the society, and asked the reason why his men had been taken away from him, saying he had had no notice, and that he wished to know what the society required. Barron, in reply, wrote that at • meeting of the society it was proposed, seconded, and carried unanimously, that he should only be allowed to have two apprentices, and not to have • third until the eldest of the two was in the last year of his time. There was also a demand for 181., expenses which the society bad incurred in consequence, which must he paid before the men would be allowed to return to their work. The master builders afterwards came to • resolution to discharge the men employed by them until the respondent's men resumed work. The justices, being of opinion that an offence had been committed, convicted the appellants. The learned counsel contended that the appellants had, by threats or intimidation, formed or en deavoured to force the respondent to limit the number of his apprentices. The question was, what was the mean ing of threats or intimidation as used in the clause of the act. Mr. Justice Lush said it was not shown that the appel lants induced the men by persuasion or by threats to leave their work. Mr. Manisty argued at considerable length that this was • threat or an intimidation of the master within the meaning of the act, for which the men were liable to punishment. Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., with whom was Mr. Mecums's, appeared for the appellants. He submitted there were no grounds for the conviction. There were three distinct periods in the case, and they could not mingle up what took place at one time with what took place at another, so as to make a charge against the appellants as having jointly acted. To convict the two there must have been some joint act. The first period was in October, when Barron only was present and spoke to the men, and what passed between him and the men was not known or even EU r. Justice Lush—From all that was known the men might have acted voluntarily. Mr. Coleridge—All the men did was to leave without notice ? which they had a perfect right to do by the terms of their engagement by the master. Therefore what hap pened at first was no threat or an attempt to threaten. After the men had left the respondent wrote to the society for information, mid what was communicated to him was no threat or an attempt to threaten. Mr. Justice Lush—That letter was written at a meeting where Wood and Barron were both present. Mr. Coleridge said yes, but there was no proof that they were present when the resolution was agreed to. If there was anything illegal—which he denied—it was passing the resolution. There was nothing approaching a threat in the appellants communicating the reeolutio'a in answer to the respondent's inquiry. It was not shown that the appellants were present when the resolution was passed, or that Wood had anything to do with the letter that was sent to the respondent. Then with regard to the payment of the 181., although it might be an illegal act to demand it, it was no threat within the meaning of the statute. Mr. Manisty having been heard in reply, The Lord Chief Justice, in delivering judgment, Heid— iam of opinion that this conviction must be quashed. It is quite unnecessary to determine in the present case whether the combination of the workmen funning this association, and the resolution they adopted not to work for the respondent unless be reduced the number of his apprentices, would be lawful or not at common law. I quite agree that eases of this kind ought not to be pressed further than they have gone ; and we ought, so long as there is nothing in them contrary to the law, to leave it open to labour on the one hand, and capital on the other, to make the beat terms they can for themselves ; and in asmuch as men have not the advantage of wealth, they cannot very often protect themselves except by means of combination in associations of this kind, there fore we ought not to strain the law against those who have no other means to waist each other. There may, however, be cases contrary to the common or statute law, but it is not now necessary that we should determine whether this combination is an unlawful one or not. To obtain a conviction under this par ticular act there must be a threat or intimidation to the master, and factsbecome moat important in considering that question. It appears that the appellants are the chairman and secretary of a certain association, and on a given day the appellant, Barron, was seen in conversation with the respondent's workmen, after which the latter suddenly left their work. No threat was at that time made to the master, but the men having left, he inquired of Barron why they had left, and he replied simply, on account of your apprentices. In that I can find no threat—certainly uo joint threat on the part of the appellants. The master then again moves in the matter. There was no spon taneous communication made to him when the resolution was agreed to ; it was not communicated to him to intimi date him, by means of a threat to reduce the number of his apprentices, and the respondent, when his men left, with the view of ascertaining why the men had been with drawn from his employment, put himself in communi cation with the society, evidently for the purpose, if pos. sible, of entering into negotiations so as to arrive at a settlement with the society. lie caked the reason why his men were withdrawn, and be received a letter written by Barron at a meeting over which Wood presided, con taining a copy of the resolution, for which letter, if it had really amounted to a threat, Wood would have been responsible with Barron as a joint act. It was not for that resolution, or for what was done under it, that the information was laid and the conviction obtained. We must see whether the letter written under such circum stances amounted to a threat. We have nothing to show that, although the letter purported to afford explanation by way of answer to the question put by the employer, it was intended to convey a threat. I do not think there is enough to warrant the inference, under the circum stances, that it amounted to a threat under the terms of the act of parliament, and on that ground the conviction can not be sustained. Mr. Justice Mellor concurred. Mr. Justice Shee was also in favour of the appellants. The resolution not being communicated to the respondent clearly took it out of the deli nation of a threat. Its not being addressed to anyone destroyed its character of a threat. Mr. Justice Lush said it was an important point in the consideration of the case that the resolution was com municated to the respondent, by way of explanation, in answer to his letter. He considered the conviction could not be sustained. Conviction quashed. THE QUEEN' T. KIDD. Mr. Mellish, Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Kay), showed cause against a rule to show cause why an order to pay fijd. Easter dues to the vicar of Preston should not be quashed. The argument relied on to show there was no jurisdiction was, that the claim not being in respect of an Easter offering payable as a common right, but was of a larger amount,' founded on an old special custom, the existence of which was denied, was not within the sta tute, and two questions arose—first, whether an Easter offering payable by custom was within the 7 and 8 Wm. c. 6 ; and secondly, if so, whether the jurisdiction was taken away from the justices in this case upon the ground that the custom was bona fide disputed. Mr. Serjeant Hayes appeared in support of the rule. He denied the fact of there being such a custom as that claimed by the vicar. The arguments had not concluded when the court rose. P. - THE POLICE COURT& GUILDHALL. Mr. J 0311611 being Scott, the proprietor and editor of the ' Reporter newspsper, and Andrew Wilton, the publisher, were summoned. be fore Alderman Cotton for publishing • libel on the Queen Insurance Company. Mr. Edwards (of the firm of Sewell and Edwards), of Gresham-house, Old Broad-street. appeared for the com pany, and said he was pleased to be able to state that he had obtained an apology from Mr. Scott. It only remained for him now to read the apology , and then, with the mission of the court, withdraw thie summons ` wire Queen Insurance Company v. James Irving Scott, ror and proprietor of the Reporter.—Legal proceedings having been instituted by the Queen Insurance Company against Mr. James Irving Scott, as editor and proprietor of the Reporter newspaper, for statements and other matters alleged to be libellous, contained in an article published in that journal of the 6th day of October, and repeated or re ferred to in the numbers of that journal of the 3rd and 10th instant, which statements and matters (con trary to the desire and expectation of the writer) ere likely to be productive of injury to the Queen Insurance Company, Mr. Scott hereby begs to express his regret that such statement and other matters have been so written and published by him, and also to declare that the statement and suggestions in the said articles in relation to the loss of the reserve fund and other matters were written wholly in error. And Mr. Scott trusts through this apology and explanation that in the minds of the public, the policy-holders, and agents, the high degree of confidence to which the Queen Insurance Company is justly entitled will not be in any way affected.—Dated this 13th day of November, 1866. J. Isviso Scorr.—Witness, E. E. Jackson." Alderman Cotton said he thought the case bad now assumed the position that it ought to have done in the first instance. He regretted that it had not been done earlier. He thought it was of great importance to the company to have that libel settled. In the interest of the Queen Insurance Company he hoped Mr. Scott would make a most ample apology, and be very thankful to the com plainants for the manner in which they had acted. The summons was then withdrawn. THE FIRE AND LOSS OF _ LIES IN THE HAMPSTEAD-ROAD. Yesterday afternoon Dr. Lankeater resumed the investigation as to the deaths of the three children of Mr. Lazarus, clothier, of 44, Hampstead-road, which resulted from the effects of a fire which broke out on the premises mentioned on the night of Monday week last. In consequence of the painful excitement which the occur rence has created it was felt that the board-room at University College Hospital would be inadequateto acooui modate the public. Upon the application of the coroner the use of the St. Pancras Vestry Hall was granted for the continuation of the inquiry, and a large number of persons assembled. The jury, in accordance with arrangement prior to the adjournment, assembled at half-past one in the Hampstead-road, to view the premises where the fire took place, and the room on the first floor where the three children were suffocated, and the inquest was resumed at two o'clock. Mr. Solomon, solicitor, again attended to watch the pro ceedings on the part of the parents of the deceased chil dren ; Mr. Sampson Low, secretary of the Royal Recaps Society ; Mr. Campbell, representing the Queen, and Mr. White, of the County Fire-offices, were also present. The police were represented by Superintendents Loxton and Webb of the S and T divisions, Augustus Evererd was first called and sworn. He said —I was in the employ of Mr. Lazarus as porter. I was there on the night of Monday, the sth November. Ido not know who put out the gas. I was not in the habit of putting it out myself. I abut up the shop. The gas in the window was put out while I was shuttingup the shop. I went into the shop that night after I had shut up. There were two burners left alight as usual at the bottom of the shop. That was about 10 minutes past 9. I screwed up the shutters oni the inside, and then put out the two burners at the end of the shop. I locked the shop deer and gave Mr. Lazarus the keys, and then went home to Charles-street. It was about 20 minutes to 10 when I heard of the fire, and I ran back to the house and saw the shop all in flames. I asked if the children were out, and was told they were, and that three had gone to the hos pital. I did not turn the gas off at the main. It was the general rule to do so. I turned the shop main off, and am quite sure I did not forget to turn the burners off. 1 Witness here explained that be did not turn the gas off at the main ; Mr. Lazarus usually did that. By the Jury—There was a burner iminediately under the shop inside the kitchen, which used to flare very much in deed when the main was turned off. Iliad orders to turn off the gas at the main every night. I left the house with Mr. Lazarus and forgot the gas that night. When the burner flare d in the kitchen it would burn the ceiling if left. Ann Wardell, servant to Mr. Lazarus, recalled—There was only one gas burner in the kitchen. It used to flare, but never to hurt. Ido not remember seeing it flare that evening. I was in the kitchen all the time, and must have seen it had it done so. It could not have set the ceiling on fire. Charles Radford—l am a sub-engineer in charge of Wells-street Brigade-station, and was called to the fire at a quarter to 19, and arrived there at 5 minutes to 10. The fire was confined to the shop. I was about three minutes before I could get the water on it. The fire was put out in a quarter of an hour, or 20 minutes. I think the fire began in one of the windows. I cannot tell whether the gas caused it, but the gas not being turned off helped it to spread. I saw nothing to enable me to say how the fire was caused. There were three escape-men there. When I had been there five minutes I opened the street door leading into the passage. No one was standing outside it at that time ;it was too hot. The police were keeping the mob back. By Mr. Solomon—/ was working upstairs before the children were brought out. I did not know they were there. If I had been toll when I arrived that the children were there I could have got them out easily. It was twenty minutes after I first went upstairs that the children were brought out. (Sensation.) John Hutchins-1 MU fire-escape conductor, stationed at Trinity Church. I got to the Hampstead-road fire about 10 minutes to 10. I was told there were two children on the second floor. I put my escape up where I was told they were, and went up and got in and searched two rooms, but found no one. I was told they bad been seen at the next window on the same floor, and on going up I found I was in the same place. I went up a third time to the third floor, and found the beds empty. My lamp went out, and I searched the lust room on that floor on my hands and knees. I was then toll there was a woman on the roof, with a candle in her hand. I went up, but there was no one there but a man from the next house. He as sured me that he heard the children cry through the trap. I then went in again, and searched the whole of the rooms, and found the eldest child, a boy, in a cupboard or closet on the third floor. The boy was, 1 think, alive. I sprinkled his face with water. and brought him down and gave him to his father. I beard when I came down that two more children had been found on the first floor. There were a good many people when I arrived, and the fire must have been burning some time. I did not search the first floor, because the people insisted that the children were on the second floor. Towards the end a woman came to the side of my escape, as I was throwing an extra ladder up, and said there were two children on the third floor. Ann Wardell recalled—lt is not as stated. I took the fireman by the elbow and screamed to him, "The first floor ; only the passage divides them." It was after you (addressing Hutchins) had broken the window on the second floor that I told you the children were in the first door. Hutchins—l did not see this young woman, but there was great confusion, and the people were shouting out, "The second floor; the second door," and then "The next, the next," and of course I went to the third floor. Wm.d Puckett sworn—l am foreman of the London Salvage Corps. I arrived at this fire about five minutes past 10. A man said there were five children at the top of the house. I went up stairs and saw the poor boy taken out of the closet. I went afterwards into the first floor and found the other two deceased children in a bed. I had that room before. It was 20 minutes at least after l 'a fi s r;twent into the house that the children were found. I took them to the hospital. There was a policeman stand ing at the house door when I went in. I never heard there were any children on the Snit floor. Police-Constable Thos. Comber, 54 S—l was at the fire in the Hampstead-road on Monday night, the sth November. There were from 100 to 150 people assembled when I got there. I was told there were three children at the top of the house. I went in and up to the first floor, and found the smoke so intense I could not go any further. I came down, and met about half a dozen people in the passage. I told them they could not get up stairs. They said they would have a try, and went on, but returned directly, saying it was impossible to go up.
