DISTRESS AT THE EAST-1 ND. WRITECiLVEL FEVER NESTS.-4M-OPEIULTIVE ASSOCILTIONB. The recent inclemency of the weather has natu rally added largely to the suffixinge of the destitute poor in East London, and led to a further increase 111 the rapidly augmenting percentage of pauperism with which the various parishes are so heavily bur thened. In Shoreditch workhouse, a newly erected building, constructed on a most extensive scale, there are over one thousand inmates, being two hundred in excess of the number for which proper accommodation was originally provided, and yet large numbers of people are daily clamouring for admittance. Knowing the house to be full to re pletion and that they cannot possibly be ad mitted under any circumstances, they make use of the fact for the purpose of extorting out-door relief from the parochial officials. Additional socontmodation will, however, be speedily provided, a waste piece of ground, situated opposite the Britannia Theatre, having been secured for that purpose. Had the cabmen's strike been persisted in, there would soon have been an accession of several thousands to the immense number at pre sent recei vii.g outdoor relief in Shoreditch,Bethnal green, and other east-end parishes ; the precarious nature of a cabdriver's income, and the many accidents to which he is generally liable, prevent ing him. as a rule, from possessing proper re sources of his own against periods of non-employ ment and other contingencies. Six days of general ccssation from labour, and fully half the cabmen's lamilies resident in East London would have been thrown on their various parishes. No wonder that the news of the successful results of the deputation to Mr. Hardy brought a quiet sense of n:Fef to the anxious minds of east-end guardians and other parish officers. But pauperism is not the only social evil with which the cast-end has to contend. Overcrowding is again be:oiliing frightfully common, especially in Whitechapcl and Mile-end, and with the usual results—incrcased sickness and fever. The atten tion of the Mile-end Old Town vestry has recently been directed to the case of Essex-street, a long narrow court or lane, leading from the Commercial road-east in the direction of Whitechapel. It is only partly paved, and the condition of many of the houses—setae 40, or thereabouts, in number— is stated to be perfectly disgraceful. Out of 31 dwellings no less than 15 had fever in them. In one house, containing four rooms of the smallest imaginable dimensions, 26 individuals were found living and sleeping. In another house there were three small rooms and a kitchen. The latter, a place little better than a washhouse, was very dirty, and pia ,, ,-.Fed no floor ; yet in this miserable and unwholewine lair a bed was placed on the ground, and in this bed a man, woman, and several children slept every night. As one of the vestrymen indignantly observed—" a more filthy and dis guatiug place no Englishman ever ought to see." Some of the houses contain two rooms only, while several of those possessing four rooms are so small that each dwelling—parlour, kitchen, and all—contains less cubic space than a moderately sized Belgravian drawing-room. The houses are all situated on one side of Essex-street, the other side being occupied by stables and small outhouses belonging to the residences in Cannon street-road. Much of this overcrowding is the inevitable result of railway and other demolitions in the City. Everywhere the poorer kind of house accommodation is, in accordance with the law of supply and demand, steadily increasing in price ; mall three-roomed or four-roomed houses which, a few years since, let at six or seven shillings per week, now bringing in eight or nine shillings weekly. So largely is the mischief on the increase that, despite the opposition of a noisy majority, some of the leading members belonging to the Mile-end Old Town vestry have introduced a series of sani tary regulations, which, if adopted by their col leagues, will tend to check, so far as such precautions possibly can, the progress of over crowdingp in that parish. According to the regulations, every house, occupied b' more than one family, will be placed on a re gister kept at the vestry-hall, and will be subjected to the superintendence of competent officials ap pointed by the pariah. These officials will be re quired to ascertain that the ventilation, closet ac commodation, water supply, drainage, paving, and general sanitary condition of each house is of a satisfactory character, before the admittance of lodgers be tolerated. With respect to the number of persons to be allowed in each house, the follow ing rules are proposed :—" The minimum space for each inmate of a room used both for living and sleeping shall be 350 cubic feet. The minimum space for each inmate of a room used exclusively for sle2ping shall be 300 feet. Two children under ten years shall count as one adult." Should these regulations be adopted, their enforcement will lead to considerable improvement in the sanitary condition of the pariah, but the amount of over crowding will be proportionately increased iu those parishes in which such rules do not exist. If anyone desired an illustration of the manner in which the pressure of " hard times" is beginning to tell or. the small shopkeepers and better class of artisans, it is supplied during the days on which are beard the various claims, on the ground of poverty, for exemption from payment of rates. If a few of our legislators who were so jubilant over the successful results of their fervour on behalf of the rate-paving clauses of the new Reform Act could have been present at one of the recent appeal days in Bethnal-green, it is doubtful whether they would have continued to retain:their feelings of self complacency. Each day several hundreds of per sons complained —many with tears in their eyes— that they were utterly unable to pay the rates de manded of them ; and each week makes it more and more clear that, in the face of increased paro chial responsibilities and burdens, the abolition of the compound householder will lead to a serious diminution in the amount of rates collected, and that this deiciency will have to be made up by the solvent ratepayers. It is quite hopeless to expect results other than those of which the East Londoners have had such unpleasant ex perience during the last few days from the aboli tion of the compound householder system. A Mr. Rumaey, residing at Homerton, states that he is the proprietor of twenty small houses, situate in St. George's-in-the-East, producing rentals varying from 55. to Bs. each per week. Under the cora . pounding system these houses were assessed at 1551., the rates being 7s. 10d. in the pound. They are now assessed at 2621., making the rates 1201. per annum, besides 21. extra from each of the occupiers for the privilege of the franchise. Is it strange that there exists a widely-spread feeling of discontent in connection with this subject, or that it is more than probable that the ensuing . spring will find the East-enders in open revolt against the continuance of the rate-paying clause of the now Reform Act 1 Among the various means suggested for the amelioration of the condition of the least-end poor is a more extensive application of the co-operative sys tem, but hitherto the regatta of such associations at the East-end have not been of a character to encourage the local spread of associations based on this prin ciple, many of the causes conducing to the success of thaw societies in Lancashire and Yorkshire being absent in East Loudon. A co-operative store in Whiteehapel would have to contend with a mul titude of trading establishments, the mutual com petiti oi amongst which tended to keep prices down to the loa est possible remunerative points—the trader posessing the largest amount of capital being eilabltd to purchase the most largely and sell the most cheaply. Against these the small co operative associations, with their limited number of members, comparatively insignificant amount of capital, and relatively high priors, have little or no chance. In Rochdale the amount of competition among the traders amid shopkeepers never ap proached that existing in Whitechapel or Bethnal green. Besides, the Roohdale operatives are less numtory in their character than are the generality of East London artisans and labourers, and, being more e eten*ively known to each other,are tho better enabled to act in concert. Of the various co-ope rative societies existing in East London, none have attained large proportions ; all have had to struggle with difficulties, not the least considerable being THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 10, 1867. the apathy of the industrial classes themselves. In the Isle of Dogs, during the period of iron ship b.uldnig prosperity, the co-operative store system might have been introduced with perhaps greater chances of success than in any other parts of the metropolis, but the opportunity was permitted to slip away, and may never again occur. One fact, however, deserves mention. The class of artisans and others belonging to the Bast London co-opera tive associations corresponds in every way to that found in the northern counties. They are, gene rally speaking, the very pick of their order. Frugal, energetic, self-denying, hopeful, and per severing, they are the last to accept parochial assistance, and the first to remove from themselves the stigma of pauperism. For the sake of the East London poor it is devoutly to be wished that the number of these men was considerably larger than it is at present. THE SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW. It was the general opinion in the Agricultural Hall yesterday that the Devons fully sustained their reputation, as well fur general symmetry as for their special " points, " which are so dear to the ruthless connoisseur of the shambles. Of the magnificent and stalwart Herefords, the only oxen from which a real royal baron of beef can be obtained, there are just eleven in this year'sshow. They are a wonderfully tine variety, as great in stature as the shorthorns, and infinitely less stupid in appearance. It is to be hoped that the managers of the Smithfield show will not permit this wonderful breed of English cattle to fall into neglect, as, whether for size, quality of meat, or general excellence and soundness of constitution, it would be impossible to surpass these ancient cattle of the Marches. The first prize in this class was obtained by Mr. Joseph Beach, of Dudley, Worcestershire, a gentleman who to the technical knowledge of the practical farmer unites the expe rimental acquirements of the analytic chemist. Mr. Beach is the inventor of a new species of cattle food, the excellence of which is attested by the success of his steer, which, as considered from the butcher's point of view, leaves nothing to be desired. It may, perhaps, be permitted here to call attention for a moment to this cattle-food question. We observed yes terday, whilst passing through the show, that almost every animal was ticketed " fed with" some one's " food fur cattle ;" and on making in quiry we found that these varieties of artificial food consisted generally of condiment rather than nutri ment, and that their main object was to stimulate the appetites of the animals and thereby to accelerate their acquirement of the desired obesity. There is no doubt but that the chemists are at work amongst the cattle, and it might perhaps be a useful task for the experts of the Smithfield Club to undertake the analyzation of these numerous varieties of " cattle food." with the view of ascer taining whether or not there is anything deleterious in their composition. As a matter of fact, nearly all the prizeholders of this year are animals which have been fatted by those scientifically prepared compounds, and it would be important and satis factory to the public to learn that the artificial food is likely to tell as favourably on the quality as on the quantity of the living beef. In the short horns, there is nothing this year worthy of special notice. They are as big, and as phleg matic as ever. The first prize of 301. is carried off by Mr. Foljambe, of Osberton-hall, Notts, but the success of the winner is as much attributable to the defects of his competitors as to any absolute excellence on his own part. There are, as usual, a great many classes in the show—perhaps a good many more than are neces sary for any purpose other than that of perplexing the visitors, but in this opening glance it will not be necessary to follow them through their minute subdiviawns and ramifications. Making a long skip down to class 26, we come to the Black Lion of the show, the Scotch polled steer, which the judges have adjudged to be the best in all the classes. This magnificent animal is the property of Mr. William M'Combie, of Aberdeen, N.B. a perfect cormorant of prizes, and who had already, with the same ox, carried all before him at Birmingham. At former Smithfield shows suc cess at Birmingham was not found to be at all a sure passport to a similar result at Islington ; but this year the verdict of the capital of the "Black Country " is confirmed, and Mr. M'Combie's steer will have the gratification of going to the butcher's literally covered with laurels. Already there is a sharp competition for his bodily effects, but Mr. M'Combie has, we understand, intimated in the proper quarters his wish to present this splendid animal to the Queen, and awaits her Majesty's decision as to its acceptance before he entertains any trade proposals. The show was during the whole of yesterday only open to the lite of society, that is to say, to persons who were able to pay live shillings each for admission, and all these five shilling Elite of course crowded round the sable winner of the gold medal. There was • general affirmation of the decision of the judges, but for our own parts we came to the conclusion that the noble steer of the Highlands did not bear his extraordinary amount of flesh at all gracefully. The butchers, of course, aver that the training of Mr. M'Combie and the food of Mr. Beach have produced perfection in this ox, but the lovers of the picturesque in animal life will hardly accept the small head, tottering limbs, and huge unwieldy carcass of the gold medallist of this year, as appropriate to the successor of the noble and fierce-looking Highland steers which we have been accustomed in previous years to admire at the Smithfield Show. Of the sheep this year, the finest pen is deci dedly that of Lord Walsingham, which takes the first prize as South Downs. There cannot be the slightest doubt as to their superiority or as to the acumen and impartiality of the judges. The Duke of Richmond and Mr. Rigden also exhibit in this Ciaill l / 2 but not with their usual success, neither getting more than " commended," some thing equivalent to the sums clestime of the Paris theatres. Next to the sheep come the pigs in the order of the catalogue, and the most remarkable thing about them this year is the very ill-grace with which they bear the cold weather. From this cause one-half the pens are empty, intending com petitors having thought it better to keep their pigs at home than to expose them to the severity of an Islington winter. Those who had arrived had very judiciously buried themselves in straw previous to our visit, so that it was only by dis turbing them in • way of which they by no means approved that we could obtain any idea either of their size or symmetry. They were very few in number, but some of them were of great size, and all were pronounced to be of the average figure of excellence. As they shivered and grunted in their pens they formed admirable gauges of the temperature of the vast interior—too vast for a limited show and an exceedingly cold winter. We were glad, however, to learn that the Agricultural Hall Company have another building, more oom pact and suitable, nearly completed, so that next year we may expect to see the pigs receiving com pany with all the comfort to which their great im portance in the victualling department entitles them. There is, as usual in this show, extra stock in every class, as well as of breeds which will not sub mit to classilication. Much of it is of a very high degree of excellence, but the want of pedigree has prevented the judges marking their opinion by a large distribution of miscellaneous prizes. SEARCH TOR COLONEL KELLY IN MANCHESTER.— At half-past 10 o'clock on Sunday night a message was received at the Manchester Detective Department that Colonel Kelly was at that time to be found in a beerhouse kept by John Nolan, Acton-street, off London-road. In spector Gill at once ordered 60 ma", the A division to be called in from their beats, for the purpose of surrounding the house and capturing the notorious Fenian. In a few minutes the required muster was collected at the Town hall, and after exchanging their bull's-eyes for cutlasses, hurried at double quick time to the spot. A reinforce ment from the C division, similarly armed, soon joined the first body. A cordon of constables was drawn round the beerhouse, and the several side streets were guarded by men appointed to that duty. In the meantime another body of men rushed into the house, and searched it throughout, but Colonel Kelly was not there.—Jfartches ter Zraminer. *parting intellt2tnct. TATTERSALL'S.—MoNDAT.

For the time of the year, and considering the absence of anything like immediate interest, there was a numerous muster at the elute to-day, and a considerable amount of business transacted.

TO THI IDITOS OF TEIZXPRZBB. Sia,—On Friday night last, between five and six o'clock,' in Crescent-lane, leading from Clapham.com mon to Clapham-park, my brother was garrotted by two ruffians, who robbed him of jewellery, money, and every thing in his possession. He is a tall and powerful young man, perfectly able with a fair chance to defend himself, but was attacked suddenly from behind (a thick sword stick knocked from his hand), and immediately rendered powerless, being bonneted, thrown on hie back, sat upou by a big man who grasped his throat, stuffing a handker chief into hie mouth "to keep the chicken from equall ing," as it was elegantly expressed, and otherwise bra tally,illtreating him. Thanks to speedy remedies applied, he is now recovering, but is much shaken, and his throat and features remain swollen and sore. Information was given to the police, rand they captured one man (who is now at the Clapham police station) on Saturday evening in the act of lobbing a gentleman passing through the same neighbourhood. Two somewhat similar but more aggravated cases of garrotting have recently occurred at Clapham and Brixton. On Saturday morning, about half-past 12 o'clock, a lady was knocked down upon Brixton-hill, and robbed of her purse, Ito. My only object in entering so fully into details is to put the inha bitants of the suburbs of London on their guard during the coining winter evenings. Unless one is also fully on the alert, to be armed in such awes is no protection. —I am, &c., J. B. P. Bruton, Dec. 9. THE VALUE OF A LIFEBELT. TO THE 'DMZ OT TITS EXPRZES. Sin, —I trust you will kindly allow me to state through the medium of the Daily News, for the informa tion of lifeboat crews and others, that Mr. Matthew Butcher, the honorary secretary of the National Lifeboat Institution at Great Yarmouth, tells me in • communica tion I had the pleasure to receive from him this morning, that none of the six poor men who formed a portion of the crew of the Gorlestone Beschmen's Lifeboat which upset on the 3rd ivat., and who perished on that disastrous occasion, had on • lifebeit. This institution had the pleasure to present a few years ago to the crew of the lifeboat in question • complete set of cork lifebelts, precisely like those worn by the crew' of its own lifeboats. It is a stringent condition in the rules of this institution that no roan without having on a lifebelt shall go afloat in its lifeboats on occasions of service. Sometimes there is actually a difficulty in keeping the men in the heaviest weather out of the hfeboats of the . institution, and on these occasions those men who have first succeeded in pft• 'easing themselves of alifebelt, have the choice to go afloat in the boat. Unfortunately, the natural carelessneu of this class of men, as in the case of miners, leads them too often to neglect the means of safety even when placed in their hands. I am induced to make these few remarks at the present time, in order that full and continued weight may be given to the value of lifebelts. I may add that during the past 15 years, out of the many thousand per sons who have been afloat in the boats of the National Lifeboat Institution in heavy seas and bad weather, only 18 persons have been lost during that period from all causes. A wore striking illustration of the safety of the society's lifeboats, and of the value of the lifebelta, cannot possibly be given.—l am, Ike., RICHARD LBWIS. Royal National Lifeboat Institution, 14, John-street, Adolph', Dec. 9. PROPOSED FENIAN DEMONSTRATION IN LIVER " funeral procession," to take place on the 15th, was placarded in Liverpool on Sunday last, and handbills distributed at the doors of various Roman catholic chapels in the town. The police authorities, however, having the power under a local act of parliament to prevent proces sions passing through the streets of the borough, promptly interfered; the placards were torn down, sod the distributors of bills warned to desist from their operations. It is be lieved that for the most part the catholic clergy of the town discountenance the proposed demonstration. Yes- terday morning Mr. Clint, chairman of the watch committee, and Major Creig, the head constable, had an interview with the mayor on the sub ject, during which It was reported that if the proces sion wereallowed to take place there would inevitably be • collision between the orangemen and the catholic., which might have the most serious results. It is understood that the mayor will have either to-day or to-morrow a conference with the catholic clergy, and that of ter the repre sentations made to him by Mr. Clint and the chief con stable he will issue notices forbidding the procession. Later yesterday afternoon a number of leading members of orange lodges had an interview with the mayor, and stated that if it coat them their lives, the orangemen of the town would interfere to put a atop to a procession on the part of Fenian. or Roman eatbolics, and urged his worship to use all his efforts to prevent the demonstration taking place.

This was an action tereeo•in 7 lo:7. for services alleged to have been rendered at the election for the Sheriffs for London and Middlesex in June, 1863. The defendant pleaded never indebted. Mr. Hawkins , qc. and Mr. T. Salter were counsel for the plainti ff ; Mr. Day, counsel for the defendant. Mr. Hawkins in opening the case said the plaintiff was Mr. William Hays, a warehouseman in the city of Lon don having a pirate residence at Ivy-bank, Fulham, and the defendant was Mr. Thomas Cave, a citizen of Lordon, and DU'. for Barnstaple. In 1863 the defendant berme a candidate for the office of one of the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, and the evidence which would be brought before the jur7 would present a curious history of the way these elections were conducted. Before that year Mr. Cave had been the personal friend of Mr.Bays,and hadvary often intimated to him his desire of attaining to some prominent position which would give him an opportunity of frequently coming before the public—whether that of a member of parliament or sheriff signified very little. Mr. Hays thought the shrievalty of London was exactly the thing for Mr. Cave, and in June 1863 he went to that gentleman, who then occupied offices in ?doorgatsertreet, and suggested that he should become a candidate for the post. Mr. Cave said he would not like to start unless he rucceeded, and asked what expense would have to be incurred Mr. Hays said he would suc ceed if he followed his advice, and that the expense of the office would be between 2,000 f. and 3,0001. Mr. Cave next asked what would be the advantages of the position. Mr. Hays said, "Advantages which few men could hope to look for"—that he would be presented at court, and that if there happened to be a Queen's ball ho might be sure he would be invited to it ; that the office of a justice of the peace for Middlesex would be thrust upon him ; and lastly that he would do what he bad never done before and might never do again —dine with the Archbishop of Canterbury "as usual." These were at tractions which Mr. Cave found it utterly impossi ble to resist, and he consented to offer himself as a candi date. Mr. Hays told him there were two things he must do—retain for his undersheriff a respectable gentleman named Gammon, a solicitor practising in Cloak-lane in the City, and engage another gentleman named Ledger to sot in the capacity of election agent. He further intimated to him that he should expect 100 guineas for his own services. These terms were agreed to, and the following address was immediately published in the newspapers : " To the Livery of London.—Brother Liverymen,—ln compliance with the desire of some influential friends among your body I have been induced to present myself as a candidate for the honour of being elected to the office of Sheriff of London and Middlesex for the year ensuing. I am in a position to promise that in the event of my election I shall be able to devote all my time and attention to the duties of the office, and I trust with advantage and credit to the first city in the world. I also pledge myself, both as • citizen and an Englishman, to uphold unflinchingly those municipal institutions to which we owe so large • share of our political and social happiness. —I have the honour to be, brother liverymen, your faith ful servant, THOMAS CAVL—Belmont, Mill-hill, Hendon." The learned counsel observed that at that time he believed Mr. Cave was neither • liveryman nor • freeman, although he necessarily became both before the day of election, and that hie " influential friends" were doubtless Messrs. Hays and Gammon. Those gentlemen went to work to get to gether a oommittee on behalf of Mr. Cave, and a very in fluential one was appointed, Mr. Kennard, M.P. for New port, with whom Mr. Hays was acquainted, consenting not only to become chairman of it, but to propose Mr. Cave on the nomination day. Very awkward rumours, how ever, began to be spread abroad about Mr. Cave's connec tion with the Anchor Insurance Company, and with another insurance company which was founded immediately after that company ce ased to exist, and it was also circu lated that he was nothing more nor less than a bill dis counter at • very high rate of interest Ultimately Mr. Kennard requested that his name might be withdrawn from the committee. It being apprehended that as there would be opposition at the election (Mr. Michell, a director of the Great Western Itailway,was the other candidate) these matters might be brought forward on the nomination day to Mr. Cave's detriment, • suggestion was made that the services of an orator should be enlisted on his behalf. Ac cordingly attention was directed to the legal profession, and the selection fell upon Mr. Serjeant Atkinson, but it was discovered that he could not speak unless he was a liveryman and a freeman, and he bad to be duly qualified in both capacities. The learned and eloquent serjeant appeared upon the platform in Guildhall but unfortunately he was not called upon to eddreso the electors. The next step was to "pack" the ball in favour of Mr. Cave, and Mr. Hays went to Cremorne and induced Mr. E. T. Smith, the lessee, to send 110 of his men, who received something like ninepence • head, monopolised the front rows, end repre sented the influential supporters of the candidate. When Mr. Cave appeared on the platform he was received with uproarious applause, while Mr. Michell was hissed and groaned at, and almost hooted from the platform, and not a word Le said was heard. Mr. Michell had not a single hand held up for him, and upon seeing this demon stration he said, " I see the unanimous voice of the city is in favour of Mr. Cave, and I shall retire." The result was that Mr. Cave was elected, filled the office of sheriff, was presented at court, went to the Queen's ball, if there was any, was invited to dine " as usual " with the Archbishop of Canterbury, and in 1866 had the honours of the Middle sex magistracy thrust upon him. Thereupon Mr. Hays said to him, " All your wishes are fulfilled—pay Ins the 100 guineas for my services." And what was Mr. Cave's reply ? " I owe you nothing. What you have done for me was from pure love and affection." The learned counsel added that his client had to pay a considerable sum out of pocket on behalf of the defendant, including some of the livery fees, and expenses attending the employ ment of the Cremorne men. Mr. W. Hays, the plaintiff, gave evidence in support of the above statement. Mr. Charles Gammon said tho plaintiff called on him in June, 1863, and asked him if he would like to serve the office of under-sheriff again. He replied, " Yes, I rather like the office, and if you can get a good man for sheriff, I will take that office . " There were some emoluments from the office of under.sheriff, but not so many u formerly. It, however, paid, and the introduction was very gocl. He told him that he would not guarantee the preliminary expenses. He afterwards saw Mr. Cave and made arrange ments with him about the election. The plaintiff devoted an enormous amount of time to the election. _ _ _ Mr. Day, in addressing the jury for the defence, said his client, Mr. Cave, had courageously come forwa rd , to resist what be deemed to be an extortionate claim, and observed that his learned Mend, Mr. Hawkins, had pro bably been retained by the plaintiff, not merely on account of his general learning and talent, but because having been the unsuccessful candidate for Barnstaple-, when Mr. Cave was elected, he was likely to invest the case with a peculiar degree of interest. That Mr. Hays did busy himself about the election there could be no doubt, but it was as the jackal of Mr. Gammon, who would greatly benefit if Mr. Cave happened to be sue. cessful. Those who filled the ancient and dignified office of sheriff bad not only the honour of going to the Queen's balk, but the pleasure of attending executions at the Old Bailey. They received fees and perquisites upon different kinds of write and processes, and were entitled to the clothes of the criminals who were executed. (Laughter.) There was little or nothing on which the sheriff was not entitled to levy poundage or demand emolument, and all the receipts went into the pocket of the under.sheriff, who received about 1,200/. in his year of office, and had the pleasure, moreover, of appearing with sword and buckles in the company of the sheriff on all important occasions. It was for securing this substantial boon that Mr. Gammon employed Mr. Hays, and it was totally untrue to say that Mr. Cave ever employed the latter to act as his agent. Mr. Thos. Cave, the defendant, was then examined at considerable length. The Lord Chief Baron, in summing up, toll the jury that the only question was whether they believed the plaintiff or the defendant, and remarked upon the fact that the plaintiff allowed more than three and a half years to elapse before be asked for payment from the defendant. A juryman asked whether tf they thought there was no contract, such as alleged, they could give anything to tho defendant for his services. The Lord Chief Baron—Certainly not. The plaintiff is entitled to 105/. or nothing. The jury, without leaving the bor, found a verdict for the defe nda nt.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT. —Mirrcustras, Dac. 9. Czowir Oormr.—(Briars Kr. Joskiss Bbea) This morning the Crowneourt was engaged in the trial of a case of oonapiracy watch is almost unique in its way. The prisoners were James Al'Master, building contractor, and Adam Manning and Thomas Slater, joiners, in his employ ; and Mr. Leresche. counsel for the prosecution, stated that the charge was one of haring taken adman 'gage of the panic creat-d by the exposure of trades' union terrorism to extort from Mews. Pennington and Bridgen, architects, a sum of 1001. which was not justly due, with intent to defraud. _ The facts stated in evidence are that Marrs. Pennington and Bridgen are architects at Manchester, and that in March, 1865, they gave • contract to the rieoner Widen ter to build five detached houses at Fallovrfield, near Man- cheeter, which contract amour ted to 2,250 f. ; and in October, 1863 he further contrasted to build four pair of semi-daached booms in Clifton-avenue. Before nettling his account the vosecuton had to call in two eminent and independent contractors to examine and mesa I sure the work, and the result was that they' had to make deductions for bad work and overcharges which left M'Maater abort of his claim about 1501. 111•Maater offered to settle this claim for 1001., but on the refusal to pay it he declared that the contract he had signed was void, and be went away saying that he I knew how to get his money without going to law. This was in February last, and on the 7th of that month the prisoners Henning and Slatercalled on Messrs. Pennington and Bridgen, and Slater said they came as a deputation front the Manchester branch of the Manchester and Salford Carpenters and Joiners' Trades' Union, about Wfdaster's matter. He said/el/Later had been down to the club on the previous Saturday evening, and had complained that he could not get a settlement of his building amount, and therefore they had been deputed to come and see if they could not settle the matter. Mr. Bridgen said he could not see what the society had to do with M'Master's contract. They answered that the society had a good deal to do with the matter, because unless he got his money the workm en could not get their wises. They explained to these men that the account was overcharged, but Henning and Slater said the money moat be paid, or the society would draw off all the men working on Messrs. Pennington and Bridgen's contracts. The prosecutor's had extensive contracts, and after a consultation between the two partners as to the inconvenience and loss that would result, they offered 801. and then 1001. rather than the tociety should take these extreme steps. The prisoners retired to consult M'Master, but came again next day and received a cheque for 1001., but objected to the words on the cheque 'in full of all demands." Mr. Pennington bad asked for • receipt, and they said the moiety never pve receipts. He asked what security this would be if M Master came again with a further claim, and they answered in effect that the society would protect them. The 100'. cheque was paid them, and a further claim of • sovereign each for their individual expenses. After this Dl'lluter presented himself with a further claim on the Clifton-avenue contract, and then it was that they made an appeal to the Manchester and Salford Trades' Union of Carpenters and Joiners, and found they bad been the victims of a conspiracy —the trades union never having appointed Slater and Henning to take steps either to recover the money or do anything else in the matter, or having, indeed, had the matter under considera tion. When the cheque was produced in court it had Wilaaters' endorsement at tht back, proving his compli city with the conspiracy, 1 , 11111 witnesses from the trades' society proved that no authority had ever been given by the society. Mr. Pope defended M`Bluter, and Mr. Higgin, Q.C., defended Slater and Manning •.. . . . . The jury retired to consider their verdict, and after being absent more than hour, they returned with a verdict finding the defendants Guilty of coospiracy, but ream melding them to mercy on account of their previous ex cellent character. Mr. Justice Shea, in passing sentence, maid the jury bad come to a very right conclusion. There could be no doubt that the prisoners did to make the prosecutors pay more money they admitted to be due. The prisoners took • course which seemed to have been well calculated to coerce the prosecutors into doing what they did not think they were bound in justice and fairness to do. They brought to bear upon them the probable hostility of • trade union, but it appeared that that combination had not the remotest connection with their schemes. He would mitigate the sentence, in consequence of the recom- mendation to mercy ; but he could !not do lees, in such a community, than sentence each of the prisoners to nine months' imprisonment. THE POLICE COURTS. CLERICENWELL„ A deputation from the itio;tinfiu;i;iial tradesmen of the Caledonian-road waited upon Mr. Cooke. for the purpose of presenting the following memorial, signed by 40 trades ' min, concerning the working of the new Metropolitan Streets Act, with respect to the oostermongers of their district: "Are, the undersigned inhabitants, residing in the Caledonian-mad, Islington, are of opinion that the police arrangements now in force against the oosterroongers of this neighbourhood are unnecessarily severe and most op pressive, and are productive of most serious consequences both to the men themselves and business generally. We regard with much satisfaction the adoption by the govern ment of the Home Secretary's proposal to remove certain restrictions in the Metropolitan Streets Act relating to itenerent traders, and we earnestly desire to see the ad vantages intended by the legislature for this clue of per sons fully participated in by them. We therefore strongly recommend their case to your kind consideration, with a view to the attainment of so desirable an object." Mr. Cooke said the new act which had been passed with respect to the costermongers did not affect the present police arrangements in respect to them ; in fact they were at present governed by the same act as they were before. One of the deputation said that nineteen out of twenty of the tradesmen of the district agreed in wishing that the costermongers should occupy their old positions. The road was very wide and so was the pathway, and there could be but little inconvenience teeny one by those poor persons ex posing their goods near the kerb of the pavement. He did not like to see honest persons, although poor, hunted about by the police, and he thought that when the vishes of a large and influential portion of the rate-paying classes of the district were made known they ought to receive some attention, and the law should not be so stringently put in force against the poor people. Mr. Cooke said the memorial presented to him appeared to bear out a strong case in favour of the persons whose cause they advocated, but he must remind them that the police were only doing their duty in carrying out their Instructions with reference to the law. The police were obliged to act according to the law, and during the time he had been on that bench he had not seen that the police bad been arbitrary in enforcing the law, and if any of the inhabitants saw any inch thing as the police acting in an arbitrary manner, if they would let him know he would take immediate notice of it. Another of the deputation said they had no fault to find with the police or against any individual of that force, but it was the impresei.n of the inhabitants that the law was too harshly enforced. Mr. Cooke said the memorial was more for the commis sioners of police than himself, and the deputation, having thanked the worthy magistrate for his courtesy, retired. L - AMBETH. Peter Forbes, • respectable-looking youth, by trade a gold cutter, residing at No. 8, Francis-court, Ltet kley street, Clerkenwell, was charged before Mr. Elliott with attempting to pick the pockets of several persons at the Crystal Palace. Polka-constable Holmes, 129 P, said he saw the prisoner at the Palace on Saturday attempting several pockets. When taken into custody he gave a correct address, and witness found his family to be very respectable. Nothing was found on him. This statement was partly borne out by Police-constable Neville, 41 P. The prisoner protested his innocence, and called Mr. Alfred Parkins, of 15, Spencer-street, Clerkenwell, gold cutter, who said he had been his apprentice between four and five years. On account of his general excellent coni:uct witness took him to the Crystal Palace on Satur day. He felt confident the police had made a mistake, for the prisoner bore • most excellent character. He had frequently entrusted him with hundreds of pounds in gold, and would again do so. The magistrate said it appeared possible that there was sonic mistake on the part of the officer. He should order his discharge. The prisoner then left the court with his master and friends. SHOCKING RAILWAY ACCIDINT.—Mr. Alderman George Job ling, one of the owners of Bebside , Walker, and other large collieries in Northumberland, a shipowner and borough magistrate in North Shields, met with a frightful death near to the Howden station of the Tynemouth branch of the North Eastern Railway on Sunday night. Mr. Jobling was a resident in the village of Tynemouth, and on Sunday he bad been dining with his cousin, Mr. Thomas Jobling, the well-known coal owner and coal miner at Willington-house. He appears to have got on the line at the west-end of the WilLington viaduct, and was %silting down the line to catch the train from Newcastle to Tynemouth, at the Howden station. He had evidently forgotten that the train leaves Newcastle at a quarter to nine on Sunday evenings, instead of nice o'clock as on week days ; and he bad been walking within the down rails. He was overtaken by the quarter to nine train before be could reach the Howden station. His attention had been called to the noise made by the approaching train. He had turned round to look, and he had been imtuedistely struck in the face by the buffers of the engine, and thrown with his legs under the wheels. Both of them wete cut off. The blow from the buffer had also broken in his chest, and bin face was dreadfully mutilated. The driver of the engine had felt that he had gone over something, and ea soon as the train was stopped at Howden a party ran back to the spot where the accident bad occurred, and they found Mr. Jobhog's body in the condition described. He was quite dead. The station master recognised it, and it was removed to the Hosed= station, where it await, a corener's inquest. MARKET& LONDON WEEKLY DOCK 112117135.•0iC. br.u.nsu. mateta.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—Beunroan, Dec. O.—There is but little animation in the wool market to-day. Spin. ners, who operate with great caution, are buying only to supply actual wants. The few sales made are confined to the fine sorts of wool, which command fair prices ; the in. ferior descriptions of wool being at present almost unsale- able. The same must be said of worsted yarns. Neither the home nor the export trade manifests any improve ment. The business done is quite of a retail character. There is a great deal of machinery idle. Prices are un changed. The amount of business done in pieces is There is no disposition at present to operate ; merchants are beginning to prepare for stocktaking, and operations are more restricted on this amount. Prices remain much the lame as last week. CATTLK—Livmmoor., Duo 9.—The supply of cattle was much larger than on the previous Monday ; of sheep about the same.

Mr. Cohen who occupied the chair, said the amendment which had been introdued into the act was scarcely any relief to the costermongers, and he believed the effect of the measure would lc to cause • great deal of starvation among those whom it affected. Mr. Wall then moved that Sir Geo. Bowyer, Lord Elcbo, Alderman Lusk, and the other members of parliament who have recently voted in the interests of the coatermongers, be written to and requested to become patrons of " The Traders, General Dealers, and Street &I lers' Protection and Benefit Society." The resolution was seconded by Mr. Milton, and unanimous'y agreed to. The objects of the association as stated in • circular which is being extensively circulated, are "to unite the traders, general dealers, and street sellers in • body; to protect the united interests of its members when attacked; to defend them from unjust and vexatious prosecutions ; to obtain the repeal of enactments traught with injury to freedom of trade; to provide X fund to loan to ha members so as to reader them lode pendent of the extortionate loan lender ; and thus to raise the position of all persons engaged in the calliap before-mentioned, and keep many of them from the brink of starvation to which they are exposed." Mr. Amon addressed the meeting in en indignant speech, in which be said that the costermongers were the most aimed clan of the community, and that they were now com pletely left at the mercy of the " rascally palm." lie.
