EIGHT FIRES AT NORWICH Have recently been extinguished by SHALDERS' PATENT PORTABLE FIRE ENGINE. (ThE NEW PROPERTY PROTECTOR). These Engines are carried by hand and placed immediately where they can assail the main source of the fire at close quarters, to the greatest advantages ; when they deliver their whole uniform streams of water directly into the flames with Unerring certainty and such surprising impetuosity, that the fires are banged out before the common engines can be brought .into action. If the engine lever be worked briskly with one hand, and Iflie delivery pipe pointed at a window 10 feet distance with en' other hand, it will show how furiously, steadily, and irre '34l4ibly the little fire destructor combats and conquers the - terrific foe. Engines elegant, durable, and complete in Brass el. 16s. %act. There is not yet in existence a good fire-engine :Ilion a large scale. At Alderman Butcher's fire the Patent Parish Pump filled 12 large pails with water per minute, deli ruing at the rate of 50 and the two Engines 30 barrels per tour. But with the former Parish Pump (which was one of th e best brass lift-force pumps of the London made trash) not 15 barrels an hour could have :seen raised, and probably the flames would have gained the ascendancy. London is a century Behind Norwich in Hydraulic Machines. - See " TUE Sete paper, July 10, 1841, and "Norwich .

REMARKS OF THE EDITOR OF THE " NORFOLK CHRONICLE," ON VIEWING THE PREMISES AFTER THE FIRE:— " About half-past one o'clock on Wednesday morning the premises of Mr. Butcher, grocer, Bank-plain, were discovered to be on fire by the night watch, who gave the alarm and called Mr. Butcher up. It was at first difficult to discover in the 'ark what part of the premises was on fire. Mr, Butcher t hought that it or i g i nated at his neighbour's house, hut going lip to th e top of his premises he perceived where it was ; when `e came down and opened the door of his store-room over the th, part of his shop, the fire and smoke burst forth sa violently the could scarcely stand on his feet. It appears that the bfire had originated i n thi s s t ore - room di rect l y over a paper loft, ut I t ow , it is impo ss ibl e t o t e ll. M r.

Yesterday afternoon another corn mill was destroyed by fire, not far from this city. Though several fire engines were soon on the spot, they could not save the mill or the miller's house, which were almost wholly destroyed. No lives were lost. Bois-EE-Duc, SEPT. M.—Yesterday evening, at half-past seven o'clock, we had the pleasure of seeing the King in an open carriage with four horses pass through this town, on his way to Tilburg. As soon as it was known that his Majesty was expected, a great crowd assembled, who received him with re peated acclamations. His Majesty proceeded without stopping to Tilburg, where he was received with every demonstration of loyalty and attachment. Ills Ma jesty was to leave Tilburg on the 16th for the Hague. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 15.—We do not know whether the King and Queen of the Belgians are really going to Paris, as the letters from that city announce, but we have just learned that King Leopold intends to make another visit to his estate at Ardenne, after having bee:i to the Camp at Beverloo. We learn that the citadel of Bonillon is now ready to receive the prisoners as soon as the health of Ge neral Vandeneen will permit. The four persons con demned for the conspiracy of 20th October will be immediately conveyed to Bouillon. Much surprise is caused by, the delay of the Government and the Ma gistrates in publishing the programme of the fetes a September. ever necessity there may be that candles he made, i• cannot be pretended to be necessary to make them it: a town, and that the trade of a brewer is as necessary • as that of a chandler ; and vet it seems to be agreed that a brewhouse erected in such an inconvenient plac9 where the business cannot be carried, on with out incommoding greatly the neighbourhood may be indicted as a common nuisance. A presentment was made to a Leet for erecting a glass-house; and Twis• den, J., said he had known an information adjudged against one for erecting a brewhouse near Sergeants' Inn ; but it was insisied that a man ought not to he punished for erecting anything necessary for the exer cise of his lawful trade ; and it being answered that it ought to be in convenient places where it may not be a nuisance, the other Justices doubted, and ogee(' that it was unlawful only to erect such things near the King's Pah ce."

Recently, however, when some architects and medical gentle men went to .. the top o f 1 3 n ekingham Palace to exa mine it preparatory to its occupation by her Majesty, they were assailed by a cloud of smoke from the chimney, of the ,furnace of a neighbouring brewery ; and the nuisance remains to the present time in full force„notwithstancling the statutorvprovisions against it. Where the defendant in his business as a printer employed a steam-engine, which produced a co n ti nue d noise and vibration i n th e plaintiff's apartment whi c h adjoined the premises of the defendant, this was-held to be a nuisance.

The earlier sanitary regi4i ons were fre quen tl y set forth in the provisi o n s o f t h e Local Acts for the re gulation of the streets. F rom the early street regula tions of the city of London, we find that the purity of the river and of the contributory streams was zealously regarded : the ward inquests were specially charged to inquire— .

The prominent provisions of the modern Sewers' and Street Acts are those which contain penalties against the most effectual means of street-cleansing— that by discharging the street refuse through the sewers ; but whilst the local legislation was deficient in principle in the main provisions, it is distinguished by a multitude of particular provisions against nui sances and obstructions, which would argue the most extensive foresight. The nature 9f the provisions ha bitually resorted to are illustrated in the statute of 4th Geo. IV c. 50, s• 1 / for building the new L on d on bridge, SPORTING IN TELL IGE NCE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE MANCHESTER GUARDIAN. Northcliffe, Sept. 9, 1842. Dear Sir,—Now that Parliamentary warfare is over, and the din of arms and of speci a l constables is subsiding, it may perhaps not be uninterestin g to your metiers, more especially the agricultural portion of them, to peruse the notes I have made during my late visit to the Lothians, a visit which I made solely for farming purposes. The Lothians comprise, I believe, the counties of E linburgh, Haddington, and Linlithgow, and have latterly become celebrated for the superior system of cultivation carried on, the flourishing condition of the farmers, and the high rates at which the land is leased. I may perhaps Just mention, that my farm is iu the county of Hertford, and consists of 500 acres. It is conducted on the best system current twenty or twenty-five years ago, very superi or t o anyt hi ng i n these parts, an d my bailiff was brought up in tho Lothians ; but aware that we have been stationary, whilst elsewhere, as in Scotland, a rapid progress has been going on, I determined to ascertain the actual state of farming where it had made the greatest ad vance, and with this 'view desired him to give me the meeting at Edin'rurgh on the Ist of July last. Owing to the kindness of a friend who understood farming well himself, and had an extensive personal acquaint.. ance with the farmers, I was enabled to visit a number of farms of various descriptions, and to communicatQ with the farmers themselves in freedom and confidence. The general conviction which remains upon my mind is this, that with a system equal to that of the Lothians, established throughout England, landlords might receive double rents, farmers be rich and pros perous, and the country be rendered, for two genera tions, independent of fbreign supplies, notwithstanding an abolition of all protective duties. I am confident the agricultural produce of England, Wales, and the West of Scotland, might be doubled ; and that of Lan cashire and Cheshire be tripled, and this without any material addition to the agricultural population. The Lothian farms consist each of from 200 to 500 Scotch acres, the Scotch acre being one-fourth larger than the English statute acre ; and I shall limit my remarks to the current acre of the Lothians, not knowing whether it is, or is not, the common measure of Scotland. Some few farms are rather smaller, chiefly those a few miles from Edinburgh, upon which it is not necessary to keep stock for the purpose of manure, and some few are larger, where stock is fat tened for market ; but it farm of 300 to 500 acres is, by common consent, the utmost which one farmer is thought capable of managing, himself, just as a con cern of 500 looms is considered, in this country, enough for the personal superintendence of one man. The farm buildings are small, compact, and situated near the centre of the farm, and have always a steam engine of six to eight horse power for thrashing and other purposes. The corn is put up in.stacks in a stack yard, near the thrashing machine; the stacks being of such a size as that one may furnish a day's work for the thrashing machine. At the entrance of the farm yard is the dwelling of the greeve or bailiff; for every farmer keeps, a bailiff, who superintends everything on the farm, and is cognizant of everything that goes in or out of the farm buildings. A fact that struck me much was, that the greeve received only one shilling a week more than the ploughman. The explanation given me is equallyre• markable, that every man on the farm has knowledge enough for the situation of greeve ; but that every man has not the qualifications which fit him for the mana g ement of other men, or perhaps is not suffi ciently trustworthy for so responsible a situation. That the requisite knowledge for conducting a farm of 500 acres may be had for 12s. a week (the wages of a ploughman), and that Is. extra will command the extra qualifications for a bailiff, speak eloquently what education has done for the peasantry of this part of Scotland. I found the greeves universally clever, acute, and sensible; and their minds open to what was passing in the world, beyond the limits of their own farm or immediate neighbourhood. The farmer's dwelling house is generally a little in front of the farm buildings, a neat, comfortable house, with kitchen and flower garden attached. The farmers themselves are men of much superior education, manners, and style of living, to the pos sibly equally wealthy ones of the farming counties of England, even Lincolnshire and Norfolk, where the farms are of about equal extent with those of the Lothians. As a class, they would compare more with master manufacturers of Lancashire, so keen and pushing. Few of them are without a handsome phaeton for the use of the female members of their family • they are all o f most h osp i table habits ; and I was informed, excepting for a month at seed time, and the same at harvest, they have company at home, or dine out, at least three times a week. One feature throughout the Lothian farms may be remarked—a great uniformity in the quality of the crops. Not as elsewhere here a good f armer , an d t h ere a bad one ; here a failing crop, there a middling one ; and here again a firer one; but nearly all the same, showing that farming is there reduced to a science, leaving nothing uncertain but the seasons, and which, affecting all nearly alik e , d o not materially affect the uniformity I speak of. The present season has been remarkably favour able in the Lothians, as a whole, though somewhat too dry. The wheat would average about five quar ters to the acre; and, in the 70 or 80 acres on the same farm, it would sometimes *be difficult to point out a square yard which carried more, or fewer, ears than the rest of th e fi e l d. The farms are divided into fields of from 20 to 50 acres each ; the hedges are clipt low and thin, and the ditches covered in, so as to occupy as little space as possible. There are no trees in the hedge-rows, and few furrows in the land, all being laid down flat; and thus, between one thing and another, the entire area of the farm is made productive, and the expense of fences and gates is reduced to a minimum. Another thing worth noting is, that permanent grass, either as meadow or pasture, is unknown, or nearly so; the only h ay , or pasture, is derived from' artificial grass, sown in the regular rotation of crop, and which remains two years down, and is then ploughed up and followed by oats. The crops of ar tificial grass were extremely heavy. I counted in one field of 16 acres, no less than 234 sheep from 150 to 200 of which had been on the land since the Ist April. On another farm, a field of the same size had on it 20 cows ; and in both the feed, chiefly white clover, was abundant, and of the finest quality. The rent of the Lothian farms is from 3/. 10s. to 71. per acre; and these high rents the farmers not only pay, but thrive upon ; indeed, a more thriving set of men I never met with. They are enabled to pay these rents, and thrive, partly by the heavy crops arising from skilful cultivation, and partly by eco nomy of management in every department. Actual wages, however, are as high as in England, namely 10s. to 11 s. a week for a common labourer ; 12s. for a ploughman, and 9d. a day for women, 10 hours to the day. As to the great amount of produce, it must be remembered, that all the land is under the plough. Five quarters of wheat are reckoned a good average ; but some fields turn out six to the acre. Ten or eleven quarters of oats, eight to ten tons of potatoes, and 26 to 30 tons of turnips, are reckoned good fair crops. Economy of management is shown in many ways : The Editor of the MPssa&er de Gaud has just re ceived notice from M. Conte, the French P)stmaster- General, that his journal i 3 definitively excluded from the French territory. The Echo do Monde Savant states that a person possessing a large flock of sheep has cured the whole of them, which had the pleurisy, by giving to each animal an ounce o: arsenic mixed with salt; and that he has tried the same remedy on a cow without the least indication of poison. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 16.—The King set out for Ar denne yesterday. The working population of Flanders will soon ex perience a great relief. More than 10,000 workmen are sure of employment for some years on the iron railroad from Ghent to Antwerp, for which all the preliminary preparations are made. HallovEß, SEPT. B.—The statement given in those papers as communicated from Magdeburg, that the King has contracted a marriage with the widow of the Chief President, Von Beulurtz, is unfounded. The King has lately several times honoured with a visit this lady, who, notwithstanding her advanced age, retains her beauty and graceful manners. The journals, too, have spoken of the elevation of a lady to ,the rank of Countess of Dieplitz ; and there was a general report here, too, of an intended marriage of the King with thi s lady, but up to this time, at least, no such marriage has taken place.

The following ladies and gentle men composed the Royal suite—the Duchess of Nor folk, the Hon. Matilda Paget, the Earl of Hardwicke, Mr. George Edward and the Hon. Mrs. Anson, Major-General Wemyss, and Col. Bouverie. Soon after the Queen's arrival, her Royal Highness the Duchess. of Kent arrived at the Castle, from her residence, Frogmore Lodge, to congra t u l a t e h er Ma jesty and the Prince. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal were taken their accustomed air ings yesterday. The Countess of Mount Edgecumbe, and the Ho nourable Miss Stanley arrived at the Castle on a visit to her Majesty, yesterday. In the evening, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent and Lady Charlotte Dundas joined the Royal circle at dinner. Her Majesty and Prince Albert have not left the Castle to-day. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent attended Divine service in the parish church both in the morn ing and also in the afternoon. Mr. G. E. and the Hon. Mrs. Anson will take their departure to-morrow. The Earl of Liverpool will arrrve. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, Lad Charlotte Dundas, and Sir George Couper, Bart., dine with her Majesty at the Castle this evening. His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, accompanied by the Hereditary Prince of Mecklen burgh Strelitz, landed from the Antwerp steam packet yesterday, and immediately- proceeded to the residence of Prince George, in St. James's Palaoe. Their Royal and Serene Highnesses left Dusseldorf (where they had been present at the grand reviews) on the 11th instant. Yesterday afternoon Prince George of Cambridge left town for Kew. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex arrived at Chatsworth, Derbyshire, on Saturday, on a visit to the Duke of Devonshire, from Alton Towers. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, accompanied by the Princesses Augusta and Mary of Cambridge, and attended by B aroness Ahlefeldt, visited and inspected Westminster Abbey on Friday afternoon. Hi s Excellency M. Dedel, the Netherlands Minister, transacted business on Friday at the Foreign -office.

The dairyman, in the same way, h ires the fields in grass by the year, or for the summer be contracts for his turnips during wint er; thus attend, ing to nothing but his cows, which, by the b v, scrupulously milks three times a day for at least half instead of getting , the year.

It was stated to be the intention of the Directors that the fittings and furniture used on the occasion by her Majesty should be ;mmediately taken down and carefully preserved, that they may not be employed for any less dignified service. In the report of the trials at the London Sessions, on Saturday, it was stated that the Jury could net agree in their verdict in the case of three young men indicted for an assault on a policeman, and that the Jury retired in the " keeping" of a constable. On their return into Court, after a very long consultation, the Foreman said they found it impossible to agree upon their verdict, since one of their number refused to find the prisoners The Recorder said if the Jury had drawn in ferences from facts which had been proved, they would certainly return a verdict of guilty. The case must be tried again, and he should discharge Mr. Jones, the Juror who had disagreed. At this remark the Jur:; clapped their hands, and cried "Hear, Hear." The prisoners were then, each of them, ordered to fi n d bail, themselves in 801., and two sureties in 401. Lord Cl emen t s , the Count de Festeticei% of nun. gary, Mr. Willi ams , M.P., and many Athfir,passen,gers, arrived on Saturday morning at the St. lUthertne's Wh arf, Tower, by the Antwerp CompuiArs Slefiru ship P r i ncess Victoria, Captain Miter .~-t~~ -0-t_ - • women and children varying with the particular crop, perl'aps six or eight during the season. • In this small allowance of horse, it roust be „. membered that the wh o l e 100 acres is arable, there . beng no permanent pasture. The winter keep of the horses isla mixture of half chopped straw, or chopped anything, andhalf-steamed turnips or potatoes ; and thi s feed as found not only .> much cheaper than hay or oats, but the-horses are kept in better condition, and enjoy bettiii , -he;alth. No horses could look in finer condition than they did, • without exception. All the Lothian farms are .held on nineteen years' leas' s, and the rents wholly, or partly, corn rents, rising and falling with the yearly fluctuations of the price of corn. The tendency of a corn rent I con ceive to be to throw fluctuations in the value of a farm—that arising from an alteration of corn -laws, for example —upon the landlord, instead of the tenant. Without a long lease, the farmers would riot lay out their capital in the free manner they now do ; and with a long lease they feel independent of their land lands, more as if they were the actual proprietors, and altogether hold themselves higher, and with good ., reason, than the m os t wea lth y o f our Engl i sh farmers ; In consequence of this independence, and part ownership, as it were, of their farms, men of much superior rank, education, and capital, engage in the business of farming, than is the case in .u gn Or indeed, t h an ever will be the case i n England, under existing circumstances. The foundation of all improvements in the Scotch farming is this system of thorough draining; and so essential is this considered, that most of the land is deemed unworthy of being farmed at all until it has undergone this oporation. Thorough draining is a series of drains, of tiles or broken stones, made at regular distances, from fifteen to thirty feet or more apart, according to the nature of the soil, over the whole field. the new s stem of draini n This may be called y g, as oppos e d to th e o ld one of cutting a few deep drains where springs actually show I believe, theselves, and which mode of d ra i n i ng i s now, m entirely abandoned by the best farmers. I will merely remark, that it is advisable, in every case, to lay the drains in the old furrows, not across them ; and the drains themselves should be from sixteen to eighteen inches deep. When made with' stone s , the top of th e d ra i n may b e b rought nearer the surface than is safe with tiles, and also when the land is for .parmanent grass, than when intended for amble ; but I believe the tops, even of stone drains on grass lands, should be at least twelve inches below the surface of the ground, and that tile drains, in arable land, should not approach the surface nutter than eighteen or twenty inches. The sums spending at present in Scotland upon the follthoroug ow raining h draining are i mmense. It will be seen, in notes of th e f arms I visited, that one farmer h a d raid out 1,8001. in thorough draining alone, during the two first years of his lease. I will now put down a few extracts from my notes of the farms I visited, and shall call them by different numbers, that the actual farms may not be recognised : No. 1. Meadow land in small holdings, where the common sewers of the town discharge, one to two miles from Edinburgh, the grass constantly cut and taken into town for cows and horses : rent 151. per acre. No. 2. At two miles from town, with ample supply of town manure—potatoes and turnips carried daily into Edinburgh for sale : rent 71. per acre. No. 3. Farm 340 acres: old lease of 19 years late expired: old ren t 1 , 7 001. or Si. per acre. The farmlyer took off 18,0001 . t o 20,000/., and has just bought a handsome es t a t e i n t h e neighbourhood, which he k improving. This farm is re-let on a new lease for 19 years, at a rent of 2,0001. or 6/., per acre. No. 4. 250 acres, at three miles from Edinburgh : rent I,OOW. to I , 2oo l , —Thrashing machine, with dressers and finishers, on most approved principle, made by Carlow, of Lenny Port, Costorphine, Edin burgh, cost 8.51., exclusive of peering; steam-engine, six horses' power, complete, f or 120/. o f Edi n b urgh manufacture. Last year the crop of wheat on this farm reached six quarters to the acre, and the whole was sold at 80s. per quarter. Contracts with black smith at 31. per ann um , f or each pair of horses, in cluding shoeing, goer, plough and cart repairs, but no renewal. Laid by last year, 7001., besides living. No.-5. and 6. In one hand, or at least under one management. —Last year and this together, has spent 1,800/. in draining alone : this done with broken stones, which seems generally preferred, is not only cheaper, but more durable than tiles. When tiles are used, always put flats or pans for them to rest on.— Draininghere varies from 18 to 60 feet between drains. For seeding down 1 bushel of rye grass, 4 lb. red clover, 4 lb. white, 4 lb. yellow, or trefoil, per acre. If intended to lie down three years, or indeed two, reverse the quantities of red and white clover.—Leta his grass, and contracts for sale of his turnips with ti dairyman. No. 7. 500 acres : rent 1,7501.: seven miles from Edinburgh. —Too far from town to benefit, like the other farms, and a stiffer quality of land ; grows less potatoes and turnips, but very fine beans, and obliged. to keep stock.—General stock for fatting, three-year old, Angers breed, but some cross of the Caithness cow and short-horn bull, quite fat at two years old.— Best manure, half rape, half dung ; onll good when. used with dung; buys whole cargoes of rape. The. gentleman who farms this, and his two brothers, pay together 4,5001. rent. No. 8. 300 acres ; twenty miles from Edinburgh. —Much draining going on. The first crop of turnips this farm had ever borne, being stiff land, they looked promising. Price of large tiles, 50s. per 1,000, 14 inches long. Ditto small, 325. do. do. Manure rape, 10 cwt. Dung, 8 tons f P er acre. Rittens 40 oxen. The three-year-old Highland oxen fatten in four months. No. 9. 300 to :350 acres : twenty-five miles from Edinburgh; rent about 1 , 2 00/.—Farmer absent; and being the last year of the lease, the greeve was not communicative, thinking we were looking at the far for ourselves. 70 acres in wheat, about 51 quarters to the acre, and exactly equal over every inch of the field. The farm nearly without a fence, and almost every yard in the highest state of cultivation. Pro cures a good deal of manure from sea-weed, being not far from the shore. No. 10. A farm, as we should call it an estate of 600 acres, lately purchased for 70,0001., without a single attraction of any kind but to a farmer. The pro prietor has just laid out about 5,0001. in a new steading, or farm buildings, compact and complete, containing stalls for 25 horses, 8-horse steam-engine, and every possible convenience for carrying, on so large a con cern. It contains numerous pens for stock-feeders, the farm to supply them with turnips for winter, and grass for summer ; but it is not intended, I was given to understand, to meddle with stock themselves, with out necessity, following out the plan of attending only to one branch of business. The general course of cropping in the ^ lothia.i seems to be—Wheat, after summer fallow,' or not ; turnips, or potatoes ; barley; seeds down for one; two, or three years, as circumstances vary; oats. When farther from town manure, and land stiffer, a crop of beans and peas is taken. In the East Lothians we saw comparatively few potatoes, whilst in the Welt Lothians it appears to be the grand crop. The best approximation I could come to, as to the, division of the gross proceeds of a farm, gives— Rent 33 per cent. 47 do. Expenses ...

There is as ,wide a difference between the system existing there, and in these part s detached spinning of England, tween that pursued in the small mills of thirty yrs ago and what is no w p rac ti se d [ in thefirk-rate factories., It nt questio n , b ut one I am not ier esting going to enter upon, how this improved sy s t em o f cultivation can be introduced Where the farmers into Engla n d, particu- laily into our own and the neighbouring counties P Where are the landlords and capit a l to ready to grant a 19 years' lease?

I may, in concluding, mentios a suggestion re peatedly made to me, that, instncl of sending.for Scotch bailiffs, who have many di*ulties and preju dices to contend with amongst strangrrs, the English landowner should send intelligent youhg pen to Scot land, to spend a year or two upon the farms there, I• and so acquire the necessary kn ow l e d g f , ,, and who would, on their return to their own neighbourhoods, be better received than a stranger, and have greater facilities for introducing another system.

The following illustrations are from a collection of records upon the sub;ect made by Mr. T. D. Hardy, of the Record-office, in the Tower : The first extract shows that sea-coal was in use in London much earlier than is commonly supposed : . " Patent Roll, 16 Edw. I.—The King to his be loved and faithful Thomas de Weylaund, John de Luvetot, John de Cobeham, and Ralph de Sandwico, Custos of his city of London, greeting : From the complaint of many persons, we understand that many people are dangerously aggrieved by the furnaces of line which are built in the said city and its suburb; and in Southwark ; because the lime which formerly used to be burnt with wood, is now burnt with sea coal, by which the air there is affected and corrupted, to the great danger of persons frequenting those parts and dwelling around them : we, therefore, being wil ling to afford a fitting rem e dy for this, have appointed you to see those furnaces, and remove the danger and nuisances which threaten from them in these days, and to order further concerning them according to your discretion, as you shall see most expedient for the common use and safety ; and therefore we com mand you, that taking with you our sherifrg of Lon don and our bailiffs of Southwark, you perform the pre mists with diligence. We have also commanded the same sheriffs and bailiffs that at a certain day, which you shall make known to them, they attend to this with you, in form aforesaid.—Witness, Edmund Earl of Cornwall, at Westminster, on the 23th day of May." " A.D. 1290, 18 Edw. I.—The Carmelite Friars of London, the Friars-preachers, the Bishop of Salis bury, and others, petition Parliament to abate a nui sance (viz., a great stench) near them which they cannot endure, and which prevents them from per- forming their religious duties, and from which seve ral of the monks had died.—(Petit. in Parl.lB Edw. I.) " 35 Edw, L—The Mayor of London is com manded to prevent persons from lightiv, furnaces near the Tower of London during the stay of the Queen and the nobles at the Tower, because the air is . cor rupted and infection generated by the insalubrity of the air on account of the said furnaties,—(Rot. clans. 35 Edw. I.) " A.D. 1320, 14 Edw. IL—The inhabitants of the neighbourhood of Smithfield complain to Parliament that wells and ditches are dug there without the King's license, to the annoyance of the inhabitants and passengers. The Mayor and Corporation of Lon don are thereupon ordered to see that such nuisances are abated.—(Petit. in Purl. 14 Edw. II.) " A.D. 1330, 4 Edw. lll.—The Chanatitlior and University of Cambridge petition Parliament that the Mayor and Corporation of Cambridge may be con strained to iioonr the ditch of the town, which is in jurious to the health of the inhabitants of the town.— (Petit. in Parl. 4 Edw. III.) " 44 Edw. lll.—The butchers of London are for bidden to slaughter cattle within that city, or throw entrails into the river Thames, on forfeiture of the carcase and imprisonment,----4Rot.claus. 44 Edw.III.) " A.D. 1370, 3 Rich. IL—the inhabitants of Smith field and Holborn complain of the infection of the air from butchers slaughtering cattle, &c., and casting en trails into the ditches.—(Petit. in Parl. 3 Rich. II.) " By stat, 12th Rich. 11., c. 13.—None shall cast any garbage or dung or filth into ditches, waters, or other plaCes within or near any city or town ) on pain of punishment by the Lord Chancellor at his discretion. fs Butchers of London shall erect a slaughter-house on the bat ts of the Thames, and thither carry off their offals, when cut into pieces, shall be car ried in boats, and at the con - irr,gncetnerit of the ebb cast into the river. —(Rot. Purl. 16 Rich. II.) " A,D. 1392, 16 Rich. IL—lt is enacted that the butchers of London shall not slaughter therein any swine or other bongs for sale. (Rot. Parl. 16 Rich. II.)

Claus, 4 Hen. IV.) " The Chancellor is authorised to treat touching the non-rebuilding of two forges in Fleet-street, Lon don, demolished in a riot, as straitening the said street." —(Rot. Par), 18 Hen. VI.)" The Courts, h ow e ver , have always had regard to the convenience of trade: thus it was held— " Si liornme fait candells deins un vill, per qui it cause un noysona sent al inhabitants, uncore ceo nest ascun nusans car le needfulness de eux dispensera ove le noisomness del smell."—(2 Roll's Abr. 139.)
