T P 4 tr 4141 FRANCE. clay containing a little gold, below which is the roc k bd t i having generally no gold upon it. It is in the 2 . or wet diggings' that we have been working. We have about seven or eight f ee t of surface soil tol oose throw off before we come to the de p o sit , consisting of . s hingle or gravel, with stones of all sizes .ntermixed. We have one now in our hole above two yards long and one yard square, which we calculate to weigh three or four tons—rather too much for us to toss out of the whole, so we are content to let it stay there an d work round it. The soil that we wash varies in thickness from two to four er five feet, and is also interspersed with large stones. This stuff used to be exceedingly hard, like cement or concrete, bat latterly we have had the water privilege, and this has made it the easier to pick, though harder to wash. This water is a great nuisance to the bed diggers. We have now been about three months flooded out of our holes, and shall not be able to work our claim properly till the river has ceased running. which we expect, if no rain fall, in about a month or six weeks. We commenced washing the day before yesterday, but we have to work up to our knees in water, and I am not sure that we shall not have to keep a rump constantly going. When we were flooded out, and could do nothiv:g at our present claim, we tried to find some dry diggings that would give us employment while the river was going down; but failing this, we boug.ht a hole upon Crawlerr's. hill, in conjunction with a neighbour, for 51, which we worked at for a week, but fiuoieg nothing except indi cations, we sold it again for 31, by which we about cleared our enemies. Having notthng we could do theM, my partner and I see out for a week's prospect ing to a river about twenty-five miles off, called the P . ramul, bat returned unsuccessful. We have now got into work again, and our claim has every appearance of proving reasuuerat:ve, if the river will orey go down; but it will not do to depend on it alone, and I think it probable I shall leave William to work at it while I visit the Arraluen diggings (which are very highly spoken of ), and see if there is anything better to be done there. " You know of course that the profits of gold diggings are very various; in fact it is to a great extent a lot tery, particularly in the dry diggings. You may get 50 ounces in a day or nothing. Tnerefore a person mast trust to perseverance and the long run to remunerate him; for instance, we have been a month out of work, except clearing off top stuff, end on Friday, when we re commenced washing we got 12 dwte., and yesterday 2 oz. 13 dwts. 2 gr., which is the best day's work we have ever done. But then.you must deduct from this two men's wages at 21. per week, sad. the time it has taken us to clear off the surface soil, for we cannot do that and wash at the same time; indeed we can only wash on an average one day in two. Our mode of working is as f.dlows. Toe claim is about 12 or 13 fret wide, aid extends from the bank to the river (about 200 feet). We commence at the . bank and work gradually towards the river, and we have already worked oat about a third of the claim towards the bank. The first process is to clear off the surface soil from a piece of the full width of the claim, and say ten or twelve feet towards the river, which is thrown behind, or to the part worked out. The deposit containing the gold is then taken out and wheeled down to the cradle at the river side. We do not take all the heavy stones out of the hole, but roll them to one side while the other is being worked out, and then roll them into the vacant space again while we work out the other side. When this is done we clear off another slice, and so go on. The washing is wraost simple and effectual process, but one you. can have: little idea of without seeing. A buc ketfal of earth will contain perhaps one speck of gold, Bey the size of. a pin's head, but as thin or thinner thau paper, and this cen be got from the earth with the greatest . ease. You put. The earth into a pro specting pan, which is just like an earthenware milk pan, but made of tin, which you immerse in the water, giving it a circular motion so as to break up the earth, clean the stones, and shake the gold to the bottom. The larger stones when washed clean are then taken out, and you continue to shake the pan about with various mo tions, not easily described, but soon acquired, until the soil is quite louse - and the sinaller stones clean. Then you commence to wash away the boil by dipping the pan into the water and raising it again, holding it slightly inclined, so as to let a small quantity of the earth flow out with the water each time. At the end of each three_ or four clippings you give the pan a good shaking, and so continue, being more careful to the last, until every particle of earth is washed away, and nothing but this small speck of gold remains. But though this is the ori ginal or orthodox gold washing, it is not the plan in ge- ' neral use, as it is evident that but es very small quantity could be washed by this process. The cradle is the ma chine generally used. In shape it is much like a child's cradle. There is a hopper or sieve, punched with holes, about a quarter of an inch in diam,ter, placed over where the child's head would be, and beneath this a dashboard sloping towards the upper end of the cradle, and having strips of wood, a quarter of an inch thick, nailed round it so as to form a rim ; and there are also two or three pieces of wood nailed across the bottom of the cradle. The upper end is raised . two or• three inches above the lower ; and, having four or five shovels full of earth put into the hopper, the cradle cemmeeces rocking with the left hand, while with a dipper in the right water is con tinually baled from the river and thrown over the earth into the hopper until all is washed away by tha stones, Which are then thrown out. The earth falls from the hopper on to the dashboaxd, and from that to the bottom of the cradle. . while it is inter cepted by the pieces nailed across. until it escapes at the lower end. Bat you will say, where is the gold all this while ? I will tell you. le a properly con structed cradle three-fourths or the gold well be caught by the ring of the dashboard, as its superior density pre vents it being washed over with the rest of the soil, and what little escapes the dashboard is caught by the pier- ' s nailed across the bottom, its gramy, combined with the cocking and water, causing it to sink into the earth, which these pieces in(ereept. But the cradler has fre crientiv to loosen this earth with a trowel, or it would set hard and the gold would wale over it. I should tell you, however, that the p- ospecting pan has still to be used. After washing every. three or four hoppers full of earth, the dashboard is taken out, and what gold is in it is put into the pan, and at the end of the day, or as often at the cradler chooses, he takes the earth from the bottom of the cradle and puts it into the pan, which is then washed out in the manner . I first described, and the day's proceeds are obtained, • . '• Our mode of life has hitherto been barbarous enough, but wo are getting ,a little more civilised now. When I first came on the river there were very few stores, but now there are twenty times as many as there were then, arid competition has reduced prices to something more like reason. We used to give 70e, per 1001bs. for fl which we can now get for 30s. There was at first no meat to be had from one end of the river to the other mutton, and of thin no butcher would sell less tun a side or quarter, and not the latter without a deal of grumbling, but now we get plenty of beef in joints, led can take as sma . l a quantity of that or mutton as Albs. Tailors, shoemakers; barbers, and blacksmiths are be- coming sprinkled about, and one Or two bakehouses have been started, one is close to us; and we get good , light bread at 9d. the 21h. loaf (weighing lidss.)

" Sickeess is prevalent here, particularly dysentery, which has carried off several persons. Everybody ascribes this to persons' drinkieg too much, water, but I differ from everybody' s op i n i on - altogether, -and think that it results from the use of so.much stale provision and want of vegetables and f ru it s . com bin ed with thes, excessive use of spirits, and perhaps tea. , The water may not be of first-rate quality, ,bat I never heard of a dog or horse on the Turon.which got the dysene tery from drinking it; and by the simple process of boiling it, its noxious qualities are removed.”— Worces ter Chronicle, The Dibata has the following on the subject of the treaty of commerce just entered into between France and Piedmont:— _ _ "Called to power with the mission of repairing the ma terial disasters, which were immense, of re-establishing calm in minds agitated by the saturnalia of 1848, and of founding a new political order of thiogs, based on the charter which King Charles Albert gave to Piedmont, the Ministry. presided over by M. d'Azeglio, hex de voted itself for several years to that frightful task with a courage, a talent, a firmness, and a moderation which have often merited success, and always public es teem. Succeeding to a frightful and decisive defeat, in want of money, attacked by parties, still agitated by the spirit of 11. ?liszzini, a prey to insurrection at home, and to the exigencies of a foreign conqueror, it was nevertheless able by degrees to establish order, to restore -- redit, to place the kingdom again in an honourable 7" e respected situation, and all that without violence aitcl without; departing from ideas of order and of Aeration. - Whilst around it vanished all the anginary conquests of 1848, whilst so many *.onstitutions- fell by turns, it has known how to establish the constitutional and representative regime in Piedmont, and to establish it on bases of justice, honour, and liberty, Which we may hope are now solid. In the midst of the 'wreck of so many illusions and hopes those who have not yet lost all faith in a wise and limited liberty, those who still believe that without it there is no true order nor dignity possible for nations, will find in the example now given by Piedmont a legi timate reason for persisting .in their belief. Let Italy, in particular. turn her eyes in that direction. Let these .unhappy and senseless patriots who, in 1248, would pot receive independence Irons the hands of a Sing open their eyes to the light, let them under stand the terrible lesson which they received in 1848, when they saw the Lombardian peasants, full of grati tude for the' excellence of Austrian government, refuse their support to the liberating army, and let them know how to render an account to themselves of what might, under certain - given circumstances, result trout the happy contagion of a liberal, enlightened, and national Govern ment." Tne Patrie has the following : " Several journals have announced that a measure re lative to the prefeci.ures and aub•prefeetures was to appear almost immediately in the Moniteur. We are able to state that the report is unfounded. After having given to the departmental administraion high salaries and considerable attributions, the Govern ment is anxious that the personnel of that adminis tration should be equal to its new functions. It is with this object that M. de Persigny is carefully examining this personnel. and he intends to give all the necessary time to his investigation. We are assured that, perhaps tor the first time, solicitations on the, sub ject, however strong they may be, will be of no avail. The minister wishes to make himself acquainted with the services, the talents, and the aptitude of those employed, and, far from the personal solicitations of prefects or sub-prefrets, tar the recommendationa of their families or friends, being: of any avail, we think that they will ra ther be unfavourable td them than otherwise. The Mi nister of the.lnterior is firmly resolved to improve the administration, and not to be fritaenced by any consi deration but the advantage of the service, of the Prince President, and of the country." We read in the Public " The negotiations which bad been, opened between Prussia and France relative to the navigation of the Rhine are actively going on. Up to this time French vessels had been allowed to have the advantage of the reduction of dues made on the Ist October, 1851, in favour of states on the banks of the river, but the Prus sian Governeient had declared that that favour would cease ou the Ist May, as the French G , ,vernment would not accept th,) propositions which had been made to it. It is now demacded that the Garman flag should be treated oil a footing of equality in the Canal of Ilunin gen. We hope., that an naderstanding will be coma to." THE AUSTRALIAN GOLD MINES. The following extracts are taken from a letter just re• ceived by a lady in Stourbridge, from her nephew, who is located on the Turon river gold-digging. It is dated November 21 and 23, 1851: "My writing elask is a piece of tentholl furniture we usually denominate ' the grub•box,' which serves us for a table and to hold our victual., and as the top of it is only about li feet from the ground, I am obliged to squat down to write in s by no means comfortable position. I can easily imagine what a sensation would be created in England by the intelligence of the gold discovery here, and the numbers it will cause to come out in hopes ,of getting a share of the golden harvest. Alas! how many to disappointment ; but still they will come, and the effects on there colonies will be wonderful, not se much on account of the quantity of gold that will be realised as by introducing influences that will counteract the effect of the old convict systeni, and gradually recle'em society from its present low and vi tiated state You want to know my opi nions respecting Australia, and how they agree with those I had formed of it while in England. I cannot say they agree well.. I formed my English notions from books, but twit,' I use my bodily senses, and the two countries—the one ideal and the other real, are totally unlike. The Ideal Australia was a magnificent fertile country, the real one is one vast desert. The ideal Atie tralia had a climate unsurpassed, where sicknesi wits unknown, and skies ever blue; but in the real one people die much faster than at home; and though chronic sick ness is not so common as els9where, acute diseases are much more so, and persons are constantly cut off in the prime of health and life at a day's notice. And as to the b;ua 'skies, it would be well indeed for Australia if she had I,:sa of them. And then the hoc winch! But I cannot convey to you an idea of them, so I will not attempt it. My . opinion of the climate, on the whole, is that it is very unhealthy. The sadden chunges of tsm perature are such as you can have no idea of; for in stance, I sleep under four biank.its, then my Scotch , shawl folded, which is equivalent to two more, and a rug, an amount of bed-clothes onewould never use in England; and yet in the day time I never have anything , over my shireand trowsers. The excessive heat of the day makes persons pPouliarly sensitive t o c o ld ; indeed, though I never saw ice .or snow yet one hears far more complaints ab tut the cold than in Eagleed. Then as tie the scenery, which is so much enlarged upon by almost every writer on the subject—the boundless and fertile plains, the nohlerranges of mountains, the beautiful park like ,appearance - of the country, and the splendid timeer trees. Pooh „ t ie's all a dream. Plains there may be, and boundless eeough, but not fertile. They bear nothing but an. ephemeral verdure, which tbe first hot wind destroys. and which at the best can barely be distinguished in many plates; in tact, you can scarcely. believe in the existence of teach berrennese without seeing it. The vegetation is of a character quite peculiar to Australia; the trees are all evergreens; but instead of this being a pleasing feature in :he landscape it is q:iite the reverse, giving it a most monotonous and diimal appearance; rpm is this in any measure recompensed by the useful qeelitiea g the timber; it is nearly all hard wood, and exsneelingly heavy ani brittle, and it is a very rare thing to see a, large tree of toy kind that is sound. • • • • • 3 :You trill be more ready to b e lieve that the society i t a very inferior description.

This was a ruse to increase the verdict obtained by the plaintiff for 7001. by the addition of 1,200/. The action was on a policy for a house and attotion-room in Oxford -street; and the furniture and goods therein, the defendants being the Sun Fire-office. At the trial be• fore the Lord Chief Baron it appeared that the de fendants had reinstituted the house and auction-room, and a verdict was taken, under the direction - of the Learned -Judge, for the value of the goods and furniture destroyed, subject to a reference to ascertain whether anything mlre was due to the plaintiff in respect of the premises reinsti`uterl. The plaintiff, however, insisted that, us the reinstitution had taken place after issue joined, the defendant was not at liberty to enter upon that ciefence and this rule was sub seq u en tly o b t ai ne d to review the direction of the Chief Baron on that point. Mr. Creasy and Mr. Piiinn now showed cause against the rule, which was supported by Mr. Sergeant Shee, Mr. Metcelfe, and Mr. Lush. The CoURT, at the conclusion of the argument, dis charged the rule, being of opinion that the defendants were entitled to prove reinstitution at any time in re duction of damages. The amount of that reduction was properly referred, but in the meantime the plaintiff was entitled to received the 7001. found for him by the jury as to the goods and furniture, and a portion of costa, though not all, as the reference might be against him, and the costs of the defendant on that inquiry might be set off against those of the trial. Mr. Sergeant SarEE would accept 1501. on account of the costs. The COURT thought this to be a reasonable arrange meut, and the rule was discharged, on the understaudnig that the defendants would at once pay 8501., to the plaintiff.—Judgment accordingly. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, April 16. (Sefore Mr. Commissioner Lew.) IN RE EDWARD LAWRENCE LEVY. This insolvent, au attorney, was opposed by Mr. Slee and Mr. Patilion; Mr. Cooke supported. The principal pica of inquiry in the case was the di.posal of the furniture by the insolvent in October last to his father for a sum of 600/., halt of which was then •idvanced, and the remainder on account of . a prior deb.. After along inquiry, Mr. COOKE informed the Court that Mr. Levy, sen., was still wilting to carry out a proposatalready made to and refused by the creditors, via., to pay. ss. in the pound on all the &Ws, the creditors giving the insolvent a re• lease, or to pay into court any sum which the Commis sioner might think right. Mr. SLEE'S client wished for time t 9 , consider the proposal. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, April 16. (Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant Judge, and a Bench of Magistrates, at the Sessions-house, Clerken wPll.) The Court sat to-day and heard appeals against the refusal of the licensing justices to grant or renew licenses for the sale of excisable liquors. Joseph Henry English appealed against the refusal of the justices of the Tower division to renew a I.Cense (under the 9th George IV., chap. 61) to sell excisable liquors in the house and premises called the Angel, Back road, Shadwell. Mr. Clarkson appeared fur the applicant; Mr. Bodkin for the respondents. Mr. nt , DKIN said ho should show that the justices were, perfectly justified in refusing to renew the license of this house, by calling witnesses to prove that it was frf quented by prostitutes of the lowest description, that robberies had taken place there, and that there had been every disposition to screen the parties, instead of assisting the puhco to apprehend them. Evidence to this effect having been adduced, Mr. CLARKSON said that the application he should make to the Court would be of a nature only to enable parties who had embarked money in the concern to be guaranteed agaie.st loss. The establishment had cost 2.5001., of which only 5001. was the money of the appel lant himself, and the rest was advanced by friends and relations. He proposed that these parties should provide some person of unexceptionoble character to keep the house, and that till then the license should remain in the hands of the justices; otherwise those other parties, by the withdrawal of the license, would be ruined Appeal refused. Charles Lindsay appealed against the refusal of the justices of the divifiou of St. James's, Westminster, to grant a license to the house and premises situate at 12 and 13, Air-street, St. James ' s. dr. B dlantine appeared for the appellant, and Mr. Bodkin for the respondent. It appeared from the evidence that Mr. Lindsay was desirous of keeping a second class hotel by obtaining a license fur these premises. He had been formerly in the service of the Etsrls of Stair, Mansfield, and Ilcheater, as house steward, and the house, which is of some siv, and is now kept by him as a dining and,lodging-house, is much required, and of the greatest respectability and conducted in a very creditable way. Several witnesses stated that this de s p t t h i o s n t the of want accom o r a d accommodation Liquor license very there was a great inconvenience. On the other hand, it was contended that there was no necessity for any more hotels' in the neighbourhood. The license was refused. James Harrison appealed against the refusal of the justices of the Tower division to grant a ho -use to a house nod premises situate in Mayfield-road, Dalston. Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Parry were fur the appellint, and Mr. Bodkin for the respondents. On the part of *the appellant it was contended that there was a necessity for a public-house in the neigh bourhood—the nearest being 145 yards off. The lease of the premises was for fifty years; and the appellant, who was a person of respectability, paid 2001. for the lease, and had since expended 300/, on the premises. Mr BODKIN having been heard on the part of the licensing justices, The Okonwr c onfirmed their decHGn. The following appeals were confirmed by consent:— David Ti uming:or Kennett, ag,inst the refusal of the jus tices of he Marylebone division, to renew a similar license to the house and premises called the Princess Amelia, Oxford-street, Marylebone• James Yon It. against the refusal of the justices of the Kensington division to renew a similar license to the house and premises called the Swan s near Fulham! bridge. And the tollowieg one was disum.sed, nobody appearing for the appellant: — John William Hobbs Hayees, against the refusal of the justices of the Finsbury division to grant a similar li co-nse to the house and premises called the Market Ta vern, at the principal entrance of the Islington Cattle Milker, Lower-road. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. W ORSIIIP-STREE T. A well-dressed y uth, about fifteen years of age, who gave the name of Jo/t Parker, was h.:ought up before Mr. D'Eyncourt (who has only just recovered from a long and very dangerous illness), ohargecrwith robbery. A lady named Pullen, the wife of a gentleman in the City, called at the office of her husband at tour o'clock that afternoon to receive about 151., but prudently placed 141. of the money down her bosom, and the remainder. a sovereign and a quantity of silver, in a steel purse. 'ln half an-hour after she was passing Shoreditch.Church, during an election for churchwardens, and was, endea vouring to escape the crowd of blackguards there col lected, when she was joined by the prisoner, who walked born:. distance beside her, and she directly after felt ~ slight jerk at the pock et, in her dress, and on turning round found the prisoner ra p idl y transferring her purse to his picket. Notwithstanding the crowd about her she courageously grasped the prisoner by the neck, and de manded her purse , but t h e prisoner indignantly protested his respectability and innocence, and would have 'ea. wiped altogether but for the opportune arrival of a r e - ired °al. : Pr, who assisted the' lady in securing him, and , ho then dropped her purse at his feet, Alderman, the *tole'', intimved that, you ng prisoner appeared to be, he had kno wn him as the l years as one of the moat practised and deixterou7l,l:ll24tYs in the metropolis, who had been 4 ra bic times in custody, a n d Berets(tu l la?e s ; ef i l a n i v iu ie ni t.e " d " imprison-d, and whose real n m WCarthy. a was, in tact.

Mr. Wood then proceeded to detail the alleged facts attending the assault, and called the following eve- James Goodman said—l Rtll an pr.gieer in the em ployment of Messrs. Meuchlay seri Field- On Sa - urdity jest, the 10th inst., I left my work at lour echult, went alone to the Tower put - Ale-house. utter I had been there about ten minute's the two defendants came in together, and two °there accompanied them. The de jenelante ur.ked if there were many at work in our pl ote, and I replied that there was a great number 01 them. They said. " I suppose yea have signed he di curve (a decleraiien by thwe who have signed that they had no corm, xion with the Amalgamated Society), stet I re plied '• Yes." Richard Otani addressed ins' I then added that we had a great number at work, and that a great many others would like to come too, if they lied a chance. They then tailed me all T.he "knobstiA6" they could think ot. and used bad language. A friend of mine, named Cumming was present, and he, addressing • them, said, " Why don't you let the young man alone?" Up, to this time I had not spoken to them, but they immediately began cursing and swearing at me as hard as they could. (The witness here corrected himself by saying that Orem alone had used bad language to him.) He proceeded—Cumming then went out for a policeman, and the defendants followed him out, and I walked be hind. I then saw two friends of the defendants on the opposite side of the way. All four came across the road and ran after Cumming, and struck him. Oram struck first. I received several blows on the note, and while striking me the defendants made use of a bad expression, saying, "Yon are one of them." [The witness exhibited marks • eta his face.] In cross-examination the witness said—l am not and never was a member of the Amalgamated Society, but I did receive Is. 6d. from them for eight days. I am not a working engineer but an engineer's labourer. There were seven or eight people at the bar of the pub lic-house,: I will swear that before any words were spoken by the defendants neither Cumming nor the others present, nor myeelf, nor unyb - ely in the employ ment of Messrs. Maudalay, began shaking our pockets and ringing our money. I will swear I did not see any money shown to the defendants. I did not hear any body present say to the defendants, " You poor amalga mated —." No threats were used towards them. I did not bear the defendants say, " We don't want to have any words with you; we will leave." The defend ants walked straight to the Crown public-house, where the committee of the Amalgamated Society meet. I went a little .beyond my direct turning perhaps, but I don't know that it is much further than any other route. Mr. NORTON—Surely we cannot go so far as to cir cumscribe the limits within which any person must con fine himself. • Cross-examination continued—l did not see Cumming strike Oram, but cannot iv whether he struck aim or not. Mr. NORTON—From what has occurred, do you feel in any danger from these men? Witness—l feel that I don't like to walk anywhere there, because I have had enough through this. Mr. NORTON—Do you feel intimidated by what they have done? Witness—Yes, Sir, Ido lodes;. I have seen some of the Atnalgsm a ted Society's men since the alleged assault, and they said nothing to me. Jatnee Joseph Cumming, an engineer's labourer in the employment of Messrs. Maud lay and Field, corroborated the greater part of the statement of the last witness. He also said that he had himself been violently assaulted by the defendant Oram, and that he had gone to the Tower-street police-station and given information of what had occurred. Mr. NORTON—Did either of the defendants use any threats to you or Goodman ? Witness—Yes, Sir ; they threatened to give us somethhing not pleisaut, be cause we had signed the declaration ; that was the grievance. Mr. NORTON.—From what they said, do you go in fear ? Witness—Yes, most decidedly. In his cross-examination this witness said, be never belonged to the Amalgamated Society. but he had re ceived Bs. 3d. altogether all the time he was " out." He had never applied to the society to support him. He made no direct application to the society, but, under standing that the censmittee were sitting at the Crown public-house, he went there, and received 5, out ot nations received at two public-houses, and altogether got 88. 3d. Would swear most positively that on the day of the assault he had no , , rattled money in his pocket, nor had he done any single set with the intention of insult ing or offending the defendants. He never had been attaeked before, but was in tear the defendant's conduct would be repeated, A third witness was called in support of the charge, and on behalf of the defendants it was contended that the evidence was not suffAent to sustain a charge of intimidation, or even of serious assault. A witness named James Swain was also celled, who said he saw the complainants and defendants standing near the •nd of the Waterloo road on the day in ques tion. The former had their hands in their pockets, and kept calling after the latter that they had money in th e m. A scuffle then ensued, but it was very soon over. This witness denied being a member of the Amalga mated Society, though be acknowledged receiving mauey from the society. Stephen Shorthouse, a blacksmith, who was in com pany with the last witness. completely corroborate d his evidence, at actied that the complainants put their fingers to their noses and pointed towards the defen dants. This witness admitted being a member of the Amalgamated Society and re ceiving pay from it. Mr. NORTON said it was clear that the evidence of the complainants did not bring the case within the terms of the Combination Act, sad be was inclined to think that they had in a great measure provoked the treatme-nt they had experienced by calling after the defendants and acting offensively towards them after having parted peaceably. He should not. therefore, send the ca.e to the sessions, but impose a fine of 20s. each and the costs of the warrant, or, in default, to stand committed to prison for twenty-one days each. The fines were immediately paid, and the defendants at once discharged.
