A special meeting of this society was held this afternoon at Exeter Hall, for the p ur p ose of receiving information from a deputation, who, at the request of the committee, bad visited the missionary stations and other spheres of labour, and were present at the recent tour of " confirmation " of the Lord Bishop of Tuam. The meeting was very numerously attended, and a considerable portion of the audience consisted of ladies. His Grace the Duke of Manchester, the President of the Society, presided, and besides his Lordship we noticed on the platform the Rev. Dr. M'Neile, the Xev. A. R. C. Dallas, the Rev. Edward Bickersteth, the Rev. Hoare, Capt. Gordon, Mr. Plumptre, M.P. After prayer had been offered up, The CHAIRMAN said he should best consult the in terests of the society which he had so warmly at heart. as well as the feelings of the meeting, if he did not detain them by making any observations of his own, and cimply called upon those gentlemen who com posed the deputation that visited Ireland to state the progress of the work which they had in hand. The Rev. Mr. DALLAS having been first called upon by the Noble Chairman, said, after making a few preliminary observations, that about three years ago the originators of the society had good rea sons to believe that a change had passed over the minds of the Romanists in Ireland. He did not propose to enter into the manner in which that change had been worked, still less did he mean to go at length into the extent of the change, but he might say that many circumstances had occurred to bring it about. They found it necessary in the first instance to ascertain and test the real feelings of the people. This gave rise to much difficulty, and great consideration had to be used upon the point. At last, however, after taking into consi-, deration the lynx eyed jealousy which every move ment of the Protestants for the advancement of truth in Ireland was watched by the Jesuits, and also the injudicious openness by which too many of their early efforts had been marred and blasted, they deemed it advisable, without resorting to any public appeal, to send forth privately, and he was not afraid to say, under the circumstances, secretly, a number of agents, to ascertain what was the real state of the minds of the Irish Romanists. The result of the labours in which these messengers of God had been engaged was most successful, and fully justi fied the confidence which had been reposed in them. Though the people had been bound with the habitual chains of superstitution, though the fetters rivetted upon them had been placed there in their earliest youth, binding and enslaving the mind, and making them tremble at the thoughts of offending or disobeying the priests, and even tremble at one another, yet a very large portion were found to be dis believing, and rejecting that which they were in the habit of worshipping at mass, and earnestly desiring the acquaintance of some one who would instruct them in the truth. The Reverend Gentleman then proceeded to detail the efforts of the missionaries in the extreme west of Galway who had succeeded in making a great number of converts. When the results of their labours were communicated to the Bishop of Tuam, was taken by surprise, and he said if the facts reported by them were true, they were by far too im portant to be neglected. After ascertaining the truth of the reports, the Bishop sad, " Why let us have a confirmation," and about three months ago a letter was received by him from the secretary of this so ciety, stating that he had appointed a confirmation, and requesting that some one might be sent from London to attend it in company with him. Ac cordingly the committee appointed himself and the Rev. Mr. Wiikius)n to go over to Ireland, and they had the gratification of seeing the Bishop, and wit nessing his confirmations. The Rev. Gentleman:then gave a very interesting account of their progress through the district of Galway, and the enthusiasm with which they were everywhere met, the people in one instance crying out -' Here comes the Protes tant Bishop of Tuam, and not the cursing bishop."—(Cries of " Hear, hear," and laughter.) No less than 401 converts from the Roman Catholic faith, and 47 not Roman Catholics, had been con firmed by the Bishop, and received from his hands the holy sacrament. Seeing that the field of their exertions was so large, and the number of people it contained so great, he thought even 10,0001. would be a very small sum to be employed by the society when they reflected on all the consequences that might result from it, and considered that nothing could further more the glory of God, the good of the people of Ireland, and ultimately the benefit of the Christians of England, than the labours which the society had been established to originate and promote. The Rev. Mr. Wiextesors, who accompanied the previous speaker, gave a brief account of their pro ceedings in Galway, and of the enthusiasm which had every where followed them. The Rev. Mr. BICKERSTETH moved a resolution, expressing the thankfulness of the meeting to God for the encouragement given to the labours of the society, and expressing its sense of the valuable services of the clergy, missionaries, and other agents employed by the committee in the West of Ireland. Roman Catholicism, he believed, was an apostacy from true Christianity, and the Protestant religion was the only means by which the present deplorable state of Ireland could be regenerated. The Rev. Mr. Hoarse seconded the resolution, which was put and carried. Capt. GORDON moved—" That the meeting reve rently acknowledged the hand of God in the prosperity which had attended the spread of divine truth over that hitherto uncivilised and benighted country, and would also recognise the deep responsibility under which British Christians were thereby placed, and would also humbly and earnestly pledge itself to increased efforts to enable the society to meet the demands thereby made upon it." The Rev. Dr. M'NEILE seconded the resolution. He wi.hed it to be understood that they did not seek to propagate Christianity by means of coercion ; but what they said was that errors should not be taught in Ireland through bribes from the Treasury.— (Cheers.) The Irish Protestant clergy were unani mous in agreeing that Roman Catholics had not the Gospel ; that was the first grand point or statement upon which they set out ; and the next was that they had many false notions concerning certain assumed dogmas of their religion, on which it was importiy - lt they should be instructed. The third fea ture of their plan was, that the Protestant clergymen looked now upon all the inhabitants in their parishes as being nnder their spiritual charge, and as persons to whom it was their duty to preach the Gospel. The fourth feature was that all the clergymen were ready to do their best to co operate in any work for the conversion of Roman Catholics in their different parishes. This was the grand object. What he wanted all those whom he addressed to do was, to give a similar promise to the committee ; for all they required was , the assistance and co-operation of friends in the great work which the society had undertaken.—(Cheers.) Mr. reumr-rae, M.P., briefly addressed the meet ing in favour of the resolution, which was put and carried unanimously. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman, which he briefly acknowledged, and the meeting separated. A collection in aid of the society was made at the doors, on the departure of the company, and a large sum was collected. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current, Nov. 23.)

This officer also destroyed 400 gallons of potale adjacent to the house of the prisoners, which is a distance of fifteen miles from his station.— Limerick Reporter. On Sunday night three fellows disguised entered the residence of John Byrnes, at Kishyquirk, in the county Limerick, and having dragged Byrnes out of the house ibeat him unmercifully and left him dead, as they supposed. They threw him into a ditch, where he lay until found by his friends, by whom he was removed to the infirmary, where he remains in a dangerous state. The cause assigned for this wanton outrage is, that Byrnes gave information of the re moval of corn by a runaway tenant.—Limerick Chronicle. Captain M'Call, 70th Highlanders, was robbed on Monday evening of 201.

BALLYHALE TENANT PROTECTION SOCIETY.—The second meeting of this body was held on Wednesday last, at two o'clock, and was very numerously attended. Tenant farmers from several estates in the parish, anxious to learn the object of this society and the rules by which the:members are to be guided, assembled at the rooms long before the hour of meeting. All seemed to take the liveliest interest in the proceedings. Fourteen new members were enrolled. Several notices of motion were given for the next day of meeting, when the committee will begin its work of usefulness. —Tipperary Free Press. some nights since four persons called at the house of Lara, the residence of Martin O'Connor, Esq., and inquired if he was at home. On being informed that he was not, but was shortly expected, they left the hall door and returned by the avenue, but had not proceeded far when Mr. O'Connor drove up. He was instantly attacked, and robbed of 251. A few nights after, a gang of the same ruffians pro ceeded to Fort william, in the same neighbourhood, the residence of Patrick J. Tighe, Esq. (who happened.to be in Dublin), for the purpose of robbing it. But before they made any attempt to effect an entrance, they were perceived by some of Mr. Tighe's men, who gave the alarm.—Roscommon Journal. ASSAULT.—Wednesday night last, three fellows, armed with loaded butts, went to the house of Michael Madden, a farmer residing at Clonkelly, and fractured his skull.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—About one o'clock p.m. on Monday, as a servant of Mr. Robert Dowd, of Brusna Mills, was returning from Roscrea branch of the Tipperary Joint Stock Bank, he was stopped within a few yards of the spot on which a servant of the same gentleman was robbed before. In the present case the robbers took the sum of Si. in silver, and half notes to the amount of 9.51., with which they made off across the fields, in the direction of Shinrone, sharply pursued by a party of the ttoscrea police, under com mand of Constable Waters, but without success. — Tipperary Vindicator.

After blowing his whistle repeatedly, the engine-driver being apprehensive of danger, stopped the train, got down, and walked on towards the station. There he found the unfortunate waykeeper lying on the ground with a dagger wound inflicted on him, and several se vere coctusisons on the head, evidently produced by some blunt instrument. Near this spot the rails had been partially removed or loosened from the line. It appears from the investigations which immediately took place, that the authors of the crime had pro ceeded to effect their work of destruction by means of hammers muffled with cloth, and that one of these in struments had been made use of to perpetrate the mur derous attack on the waykeeper. Had the train continued its journey over these loose rails the consequences would have been frightful; 400 persons would inevitably have been precipitated into the canal, and we should have had a repetition of the horrible disaster at Fampoux. The greatest praise is duo to the presence of mind and caution shown by the engine-driver, by which a fearful accident was prevented.—Brussels Herald. NORFOLK ANTIQUITIES.—OD a chain of hills, situate between Bodham and Waboth, about a mile distant from the sea, the entire crown of those heights, for at least a quarter of a mile, has been found to be perfectly honey-combed with a succession of bowl shaped holes, about seven or eight feet in diameter by three or four feet in depth—more numerous at the. northern ex tremity than in the other parts. At a short distance, on a comparatively level space, is a mound with flattened summit, whilst in the valley beneath, within a stone's throw of the ancient excavations which have just been described, there rises a spring of water of great purity and considerable volume. The spot in question has very recently been vitae() by ;Mr. 11. Harrod, one of the honorary secretaries of the Norfolk and Norwich Ar chieological Society; and that gentleman, after a minute and attentive inspection of the spot, gives it as his opi nion (founded on analagous appearances existing in other coanties in England) that it exhibits the site of a village or station once inhabited by a tribe of the aborigines of Britain.—Yarmouth Chronicle.

(Sittings in Banco ) BRUTE V. EISENBERG. This was an application to set aside a distringas, and an execution thereon, on the ground of irregularity. The form of the rule set forth that the plaintiff, in obtaining the distringas, had done so at his peril. The defendant, his wife, a Mr. Peter Diamond, and Chambers, one of defendant's servants, deposed in affidavits that when the distringas was issued on the Learned Judge's order, he (defendant) was out of the country, on the continent, and that the Learned Judge ' must therefore have been deceived in the affidavits on which he issued his order. The plaintiff, a Mr. Ilooper, Davis, a sheriff's officer, and others, made affidavits on the other hand, deposing to their belief that defendant was at the time in question in the country. The affidavits on both sides were of the most conflicting character. The Court remarked that the matter WAS so important as to require their considera tion, and postponed judgment for that purpose. The Attorney• General, Mr. Martin, Q.C., and Mr. Lush showed cause against the rule; Sir F. Thesi ger, Mr. Whateley, Q C., Mr. Cockburn, Q.C., and Mr. Bramwell, appeared in support cf it. William Muggeridge, Edward Flouler, Thomas Price, and James Garner, three persons attired in the garb of sailors, were brought up to receive the sen tence of the Court fur resisting Custom-house officers in the execution of their duty, who bad endeavoured to prevent them from carrying on their nefarious duty as smugglers at Portsmouth. The officers were most grossly assaulted, and one of them had his jaw broken. Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE addressed the Court in mitigation of damages. The ATTORIYET•GENEfAL replied; and showed the conduct of the prisoners to have been of the worst kiad. They were respectively sentenced to eights en months' imprisonment and hard labour in the South ampton county gaol. IN THE MATTER OF MR. COLLETT. The COURT declined to accede to the motion of Mrs. Collett for a habeas corpus to bring up her husband, on the ground that he had been repeatedly brought up on the same grounds, and urged the same arguments, which had been satisfactorily disposed of.

The Great Southern and Western Railway, now open from Dublin to Cork, bringing the latter city within seven hours of the capital, and the delightful scenery of Killarney, Bantry, &c., within the compass of a day, is the longest line in the three kingdoms completed by a single company. It has coat three millions up to the present, and its annual revenue is 200,0001., giving a dividend of about three per cent. to the proprietors. MIDLAND GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.-011 MOD day last a portion of this work, between Athlone and Ballinasloe, was commenced. In connexion with the gratifying tact of its commencement, we regret to say that the manner in which it was opened created very great dissatisfaction in the neighbourhood, and nearly occasioned a riot, which, but for .the speedy interposition of the police, might have proved of a serious character. It appears that a number of men belonging to the contractor, Mr. Dargan, who were strangers in the locality, were sent to open the work. The labourers about the place, feeling that they ought to be employed on the work near their own homes, felt greatly disappointed at seeing strangers where they considered they ought be. A great number of them, accordingly, went on the work, and demanded employment, which on being refused by Mr. Dargan's men, they insisted on obtaining, and to confirm their determination, took up some pick axes and other implements, which were lying about the place, and commenced working. The police were then sent for, and by their interference succeeded in preventing a breach of the peace, and restored quiet ness. After a good deal of remonstrance, the people were reconciled to their disappointment in not pro curing employment, on being tuld by Mr. Dargan's principal agent that they would be employed when the works were more extensively opened, and when the manner of employing railway labour was shown to them by those acquainted with such employment. —Athlone Sentinel. WESTPORT WORSHOUSE.—On Saturday night last some paupers effected their escape, carrying with them some of the union property. At six o'clock on Sunday morning, at roll call, Mr. Goff, the master, missed the absentees, and called out the constabulary, whom he accompanied in search of the delinquents, all of whom they had captured about twelve o'clock noon. Some nights previously a few refractory paupers who were expelled the house formed the diobolical plan of destroying the establishment by setting fire to a large wooden gate adjoining the kitchen. When the Act was discovered, the perpetrators were found sit ting contentedly around the fire, into which they bad thrown a considerable quantity of turf, as also a wheelbarrow. Fortunately the master and his assist ant, on taking their rounds, discovered the fire, and in a short time the flames were extinguished, and the perpetrators secured.— Castlebar Telegraph.

The Learned Gentleman-minutely went over the facts as proved, and urged that the only inference that could be drawn from them was that the prosecutor was Mrs. Bailey's paramour, and the mind that could deem him innocent wculd be as debased as his own heart was degraded. On the 17th of September the defen dant had most convincing proof of his wife's infamy, and very properly, he gave the prosecutor a sound thrashing, but no charge of assault was preferred then, and on the day in question, by accident, he saw them come out of a brothel in the Waterloo-road, and though he (Mr. Ballantine) did not wish to get from the feelings of the jury what he could not get from their judgment, he would ask them was not the de fendant justified in what he did ? Proceedings were pending elsewhere, and an adverse verdict might, at a future day, be represented as proof that this defence was a false one ; but there could not be a person in court unconvinced that this fellow was an abandoned and profligate seducer. An array of witnesses were in attendance if they were required. Mr. Holm! . claimed a reply, but it was refused by the Court. The Learned JUDGE shortly summed up. The jury had only to deal with the question of assault, and he did not think that they could consistently do other wise than find him guilty. The defendant was not legally jus*itied in the course he had taken, but if the jury found him guilty he would venture to say that he should not be inconvenienced by it. It should be no stigma upon his character, The jury found the defendant guilty of an assault. The Learned JUDGE said it certainly was a most disgusting case. Nobody who had heard the evidence could have any doubt as to the character of the inti macy between the prosecutor and this Mrs. Bailey ; and nobody could wonder that the defendant acted in the way he did. The crime of adultery by the wife was no excuse for an assault upon the paramour by the injured husband, and the Court hoped he would not repeat his conduct. The Court fully considered the provocation given, and as a farthing was the smallest coin known in this country, the sentence was that the defendant pay to the Queen a fine of a farthing. Mr. HORRY begged to be heard in defence of Mrs. Bailey's character. The JUDGE—Character ! We've heard enough of her character and the prosecutor's too, Mr. liorry. The result was received with applause, and the defendant left the court with a numerous body of friends. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. A DISTRESSING CASE.—Yesterday, a young lad, aged 15, named John JO"ries, was charged with stealing five herrings under the following circum stances : George Ham, 275, said the prisoner was given into his cu,tody, but the prosecutor, on learning the cir cumstances of the family, said he could not come for ward in such a distressing case, and therefore, with the Alderman's permission, the boy might keep the herrings. Sir G. CARROLL asked the officer if he had made inquiries respecting the case ? Ham replied that he had, and had ascertained that the father and the pri soner were employed at Lloyd's printing-office, but during the late epidemic the husband and one daughter were attacked, and both died, leaving the prisoner's mother a widow with a large family to support, and no means of doing so; for, to add to her difficulties, she was confined on Sunday, and they were all at the present moment in the greatest distress. It was from these circumstances that the prosecutor refused to appear. Sir G. CARROLL asked where they resided ? Ham replied at 21, Harp-alley, Farringdon•street. Sir G. CARROLL wished to know if they received any relief ? Ham said they were in receipt of 33. 6d. per week and three loaves from the parish of St. Bride's, but that was not sufficent to keep four chil dren younger than the prisoner, one a little oldar, and the mother. Sir G. CARROLL asked if the prisoner was still in employ ? liam said that his mother informed him that he was discharged from Lloyd's about a fortnight ago because he was late one morning. Sir G. CARROLL said he thought it a case deserving the sympathy of the public, and al3o one that ought to be attended to by those societies who were re ceiving such large sums for the relief of the sufferers by the cholera. He considered 3s. 6d. a week and three loaves quite inadequate to support seven per sons, more particularly whe❑ the state of the mother was considered. iie had no doubt, when the case was made public, sympathy would be shown for the widow under such circumstances. Sir G. CARROLL then cautioned the boy against being guilty of the crime of theft again, and dis charged him. 11am asked if he was to give the lad the herrings ? Sir G. CARROLL said most certainly, us it was the wish of the prosecutor, who had acted most humanely; and he ordered the officer to take ss. to the poor creature fuy her present relief, and likewise directed that she should have ss. more next week.

Barley of all kinds rather tending downwards. On oats the turn was also in favour of the buyer. Beans and Peas both maintained their value, but with less doing. During the present week the transactions in wheat have been on a limited scale; our millers refusing to buy except at a greater reduction than holders would submit to. A few retail sales of barley and oats were made at former prices. Beans and peas inquired for, and owing to the short supply, quite as dear.

EDUCATION.—OId Experience pointing out the road to Young Nature—a mental railway, beginning at birth, and running into eternity.—Eliza Cook's Journal MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Nov 22. (Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant Judge.) ASSAULT AND ALLEGED CRIM. CON.—Mr. Stephen Bailey, a publican in Newgate Market, surrendered to take his trial upon an indictment, charged with having assaulted. Joshua Stopford. Mr. Horry appeared for the prosecution, Mr. l3al lantine for the defendant. Mr. Hoaar briefly opened the case to the jury, and suggested that it was a case which might very properly have been settled out of court, and if that course were taken the feelings of all parties would be spared. Mr. BALLANTINE said the defendant rejected the suggestion with the utmost possible scorn. The prosecutor was then examined. He stated that his name was Joshua Stopford, and that he was secre tary to the Artesian Water Company, residing at 46, St. John-street, Clerkenwell, and occupying offices in Southampton-buildings. On the 14th of the present month he had occasion to go to Richmond, and whilst there he met, by the purest accident, Mrs. Bliley, the wife of the defendant. They returned to town together by the . South-Western Railway, and on leaving Waterloo station he accompained Mrs. Bailey over Waterloo-bridge to the end of Lancaster-place, where she proposed to take an omnibus to proceed towards Regent's-park. He would have proceeded to his own home after he had left her, but they found that it would be some minutes before an omnibus going to the required destination came up, so they walked slowly up and down Lancaster-place, and whilst so doing the defendant rushed up and struck him a tremendous blow with a brass headed stick. For the minute, such was the effect of the blow, he was completely blinded, and when he had recovered sufficiently to look round, the defendant was tearing his wife's bonnet from her head and her clothes from her back. The defendant then said " You I have caught you at last, have I!" and again struck him. His face was bleeding, and on a policeman running up he gave the defendant into custody, Tne defendant threatened to murder his wife. Cross-examined—This took place on the day before the thanksgiving day. Mrs. Bailey is now living in the house of Mr. Wooller, a friend of mine, No. 10, Carburton-street, Fitzroy-square. I took her there and introduced her to Mr. Wooller five weeks ago last Monday. Of cour. e that was before I met her at Richmond. I have never slept at Mr. Wooller's house. I have visited Mrs. Bailey there. I saw her there on the Sunday before the transaction, and I took her and Mrs. Wooller to church. Wooller is not my attorney in this prosecution. I drew up the brief myself. I went to Richmond for the purpose of dis- charging an obligation I thought I was under. It was to pay for the maintenance of Mrs. Bailey's child, which was with a person named Foster. Mrs. Bailey had no name for it, and I told her to send the child where she liked, and I would pay for its maintenance. She sent it to Foster's, and it was there I met Mrs. Bailey. I did not meet her by arrangement. I was in the habit of frequenting Mr. Bailey's house, and have eaten and drank there many times. I never went after Mrs. Bailey left. Mr. Bailey turnei her out on the 17th of September. It was on my account. I never made love to her when I visited the house. The JUDGE—Do you swear, then, that there never was any improper intimacy between you and Mrs. Bailey ? Witness—l do. On the 17th of December the defendant said I had seduced his wife, and he struck me on the face with a life preserver, and I bled profusely. Had my head been in a more inclined position, he would have killed me o n th e s p o t. H e turned his wife out of doors that night. I did not charge the defendant with an assault then. Mrs. Bailey then went to live at her sister's, but she was too poor to keep her, and as she had been turned out of her house on my account, I thought I was bound to provide her with lodgings. I suppose Mr. Wooller will compel Mr. Bailey to pay the expenses.— (Laughter.) I may have had some very jocular conversation with her. I may have kissed her. I kissed her about six months ago. She was too virtuous a woman to allow any person to take liberties with her. It was a liberty to kiss her, no doubt, but I " snatched " it unawares.—(Loud laughter.) It was stated before the magistrate that I and Mrs. Bailey went to a coffee-house by the Waterloo-road. I did not recollect whether we did or not until I asked Mrs. Bailey. We did. I cannot tell precisely where the coffee-house was. She wanted some refreshment, and I took her there. She had some coffee. We were there ten minutes. I don't know whether it was a brothel or not. I could not find it again if I tried. Re-examined—My only reason for providing her with lodgings was that she was destitute. By the COURT—I don't know where Mrs. Bailey's sister lived. She sent me a message, and I met her in St. John•street. A boy used to carry messages between us. I sent a note to tell her that she could go to Mr. Wooller's. The JUDGE—HOW did you direct that note ? Witness—l didn't direct it all. Yes I did though— I forgot. I directed it Mrs. Bailey. The JUDGE—Where at' Witness—Oh, nowhere. —(Laughter.) The child was sent to Richmond by my direction. I swear that after she left her hus band's I did not know where she lived. I took a great interest in her, because I presumed I was the cause of her troubles. lam paying Gs. a week for the child. Mrs. Bailey was very much attached to the child, and I desired it to be sent to Richmond, so that it might not be taken from her by the defendant. When at Richmond Mrs. Bailey had a return ticket. I had not. I did not go for the purpose of sleeping there. A police constable proved having witnessed the transaction. The Learned JUDGE said he was reminded of the very best speech ever made by a well-known Judge. When on circuit he said in an assault case, " Gentle men of the jury, the case for the prosecution is that my client gave the prosecutor a good thrashing. My case is that he very richly deserved it." The circum stances of this case brought that speech strongly to his mind. _ _ _ Mr. B.4.LLANTINE then addressed the jury. lie said he had a very few observations to make, but there were in this case matters of too serious a nature to be lightly passed over. The defendant was a highly respectable man, and had lived fourteen or fifteen years in the house he at present occupied, and up to the period when the prosecutor commenced his visits he bed a good and devoted wife, who had borne him several children, two of whom only were now living, but she had been debauched by this man, who had robbed the defendant of every domestic comfort he possessed—who had robbed him of his children, and who now added to his former villeny the infamy of perjury, for he had deliberately and distinctly sworn that no criminal intercourse had taken place between him and the defendant's wife. Mr. HURRY said, that if Mr. Ballantine went into these details without proof, he, should claim a reply. _ _ The Learned JuDGli said that all Mr. Ballantine could say could not alter the question as to the assault. What Mr. Ballantine said about provocation would be addressed to the Court, and not to the jury. It was not possible, consistently, for the defendant to be declared not guilty. Mr. BALLANTINE then proceeded, and commented with great severity on the proposition made by the prosecutor, through his counsel, to settle the matter out of court, m hich circumstance showed, Li said, CLERKENWELL. Mr. Thomas Maurice Harvey, of the Old Red Lion, St. John's-street-road, Clerkenwell, appeared to a summons, at the instance of the police of the G division, charged with having kept his house open for the sale of liquors, &c., on Sunday last, not being for the refreshment and accommodation of travellers. The case excited considerable interest, and numerous licensed victuallers were in court. Mr. Hobler attended for the defence. Inspector Hardy, G-, said that, at twenty minutes past twelve o'clock on last Sunday forenoon, he entered the house of the defendant with another officer, and in a back room he found three men, and a pint pewter pot was on a table, containing malt liquor. He said to Mr. Harvey, " I have cautioned you before." He said, "They are drovers." The men said they were so, and they had come from Newport, South Mimms, and Leicestershire, with cattle. Witness told them they were not allowed to drive cattle on Sunday, and they could not be viewed as travellers in the eye of the law. Mr. Hobler did not question the witness, but he hoped he should convince the court that his client had done no wrong. Drovers were in the habit of bringing their cattle from various and distant parts of the country to Islington, and on Saturday nights and Sunday they were legally accommodated by licensed victuallers until they could return to their own homes. He (Mr. Hobler) did not mean to deny that the parties were in his client's house, but to meet the charge fairly on its merits. A Mr. Terry, from Newport, and Mr. Underwood, from Leicestershire, had brought up cattle to London, and deposited them in the neighbourhood of his client's house, and they were in value upwards of 3,000/. ; they applied for res fresbment at Mr. Harvey's, and were admitted. They had not been there many minutes when the officers entered. Under these circumstances, he con tended that they ought to be viewed as travellers, such as were recognised within the meaning of the Act of Parliament. Mr. TYRWHITT—Perhaps, you are not aware that the local Act of Islington makes it illegal to drive cattle through the streets. &c., on Sunday ? Mr. Hobler—Mr. Harvey's house is in Clerkenwell. Mr. TYRWHITT—You must distinctly prove that they were travellers. Mr. *William Underwood, of Leicestershire, was sworn—He was nephew to Mr. Underwood, one of the travellers alluded to. Went to meet his uncle at the defendant's house on Sunday last, at a quarter to twelve o'clock. Saw him and Mr. Terry there, quite fatigued and muddy. They came from the country every week with their cattle. They had a pint of half-and•half. Inspector Hardy—They had all the appearance of being travellers. Witness—They always go to defendant's house when they come to London. They had only been in the house a quarter of an hour when the officers came. Mr. TYRWUITT remarked that every case must stand on its own merits. The parties evidently came from the country to London in their vocation as drovers and travellers ' • besides, they had all the ap pearance of what they described themselves to be, and that was what the public had to look at. It would appear that they were fatigued, and did not look like dirty slovenly fellows. Some discrimination, however, was to be ob3erved. Under all the circumstances, he should dismiss the defendant from that court without the least imputation upon him. Mr. Hobler and Mr. Harvey thanked his Worship; Mr. Hobler saying that sometimes a dozen such per sons, travellers, were in Mr. Harvey's house. Thu decision gave general satisfaction ; and it is but justice to add that the inspector (Hardy) was highly complimented for the fair and impartial mauler in which he gave his evidence.
