my Divine Mader, who mid, "Forbid him not, foe
he that is not against us is for us." But this is not
the whole that Jags said. What is the context that
has been sappnreed ? " Aud John answered and
rid, Masker. We law owe resting out devils in thy
DRAOR, and we forbad him because be tithisei set
with us: And Jesus said unto him, forbid him not,
for he that isnot against ugh for us." I seed hardly
ask you to ootioe here, for a child can set it, that the
man objected to gave • proof of his miaistry by per-
forming a miracle. When thee these separated'
give the same proof, then it will be time to recognise
them as aocredited ministers of Christ's Church, but
till thee they must be classed among those con-
damned by St. Paul, in Boluses xvi., 17."

So ham mew, and melted in their unanimously ommiot-
ing the defendinta in the nominal penalty of 1,. sod
costa TIMI prosecutions were instituted by the police
In pursuant* of instructions from the Local Board, the
Aseof p.rii.epat under which the Board proceeded
being produced mid read. The migistratea elated that if
any similar ease occurred in future the fin's would be
more severe.

The first case called no, was that against Mr. Samson,
ironmonger, which was gone into but not decided on at
the let sessions. Mr. R. Tucker enquired tf there we.
net always liberty to load end waled goods. The clerk
said there was. Mr. Wheels= enquired if Mr. 811611100
pleaded guilty, is saldhe did not, on which Mr. Whethato
ea
d they renst hear the cues and decide, the only
question being whether the AAA under which the bosea
Board prosecuted was violated or not P.C. Coots then
repeated Os evideece be gave on the previous ocession
th.t on the 20th Deoeinher Mr. Samson hid two boxes,
which were full, on the pavement outside his shop from
two until six p.m. They were distant four or five yards
from the front of the hoes, and there was room to psi
along.—Mr. Samson admitted the boas were on this
pavement, but did not think be vi•latod the Act by
leaving them there. They were empty, and were left by
him to be taken sway by the easiest sod thou throngh
their neglect they were not taken away naMI eight; they
had pet balm out no for theist 35 yeas. and sometimes
the girders were neglectful and did sot take them up
for eons tisse.—Mr. Williams seed him If he did opt
think leaving boxes out after dark was • dangerous
praotiew—Mr. Semen Sid it was light there.. the
gas-lanip wee burning near.—Mr. R. Tacker said h did
not thigh he would like it if he fell over theta himself.
—Mr. Wheelies said if they allowed that to he done
by him hiss= it ws light there, Short, le • dark
cosier, would do the same.—Mr. K. ream said the
leeirlag not goods on the pavement was more done in
Shim town than la say other town he knew • it was,
therefore, time to put • stop to it; he supirevel a small
Rue would be enough for the purpose.— r. Whettem
amid he should be the last .nan to throw an obstacle in
els way of Staines, but tbe goods ought not to be kept
out of doors an onreasonwle time; there was no
question but the Ant had been violated.—The C ••irt
we. then cleared for the sagiatratos to consider
their decision, and on the remdmiasion of the
public, the Meyer informed Mr. Samson that
they had decided on finks his ls., and °mt. as
they consiaered he had violated the Ad, and they holed
In future be would see the propriety of not letting pots
be left out, and so not let people be annoyed by them ;
of course a reasonable time would be allowed for loading
mind unloading goods. Mr. Whetbam said it was against
the Mot asking • otos in the street if perinea had
any good, to send by earrier they should send hint to
take them away; the magistrates would be willing to
allow every cionvenienes for carrying on basin's, but it
could not be allowed that goods should be kept about in
stlwitt nor waggons kept awaiting there. Mr.
Samson hoped they would adores the act against awry
one iu the town, not merely against the tradesmen of
the town. An amusing iacident occurred towards toe
end of the oars. 11r. Samson bad been sten ling all the
time close in front of the Ire, completely hiding it from
those in front and in doing so got hi, coil singed; one
of the magistrates remarked alluding to the oft•repeated
remark during the ease, about keening goods out an
•nremonable time, that it was evident he heti stood
there an "unreasonable Maw," which classed muck
laughter.

Mr. Denham's rase was than gone into, byawhick it
appeared that on the 18th December he left out a
quantity of brooms in front of his house. He admitted
doing so, but said be bought them that afternoon, and
they Wl* put on the gutters for about two or tares
hour* and taken in before dark. He mid the pavement
in front of Lis house was /3 feet wide, and these brooms
were 20 feet from the house; be thought, therefore, no
nuioanse was aoininitted, as the pavement being so aide
it old oat matter.—Mr. Whelan) ..id that made no
differenee as they couldn't levitate between • wide and
narrow spar*. Mr. Dunham thought all that was
required teas that a certain space should be left.—Mr.
Wnethain and he thought the goods had been left an
unreasonable time—Mr. Dunham said it WWI well
knows to Mr. Lamb (the carrier) and others that his
goods were generally taken into his back pleas;
he had always endeavoured not to imam-
irenienos the public, and he thought it very hard
that after he and other tradesmen bad done all thty
could for the utterect of the town, they should be
brought op for Via ; his predecessors had always been
allowed to leave the goods oat is the mine way.—Mr.
It Tucker told Mr. Dunham that at was not merely
that day goods bad been left out but frequently besides.
Mr. Dunham thought if he was fined it would he • hard
ease —Mr. It. Tucker said if they did not floe him they
must let people do what thry Whethain
said whatever was against the act, was an offence against
the public, whether the payment was narrow or wide.
In answer to the magistrat- a, the policeman said the
broom. were not taken in until after dark. —The Bench
decided that as obstruction of the pavement had been
proved, and Seed Mr. Dunham le mid Si, &L cods.
Mr. Dunham hoped the Act would be esforeed against
everything put on the pavement of the town, not
merely by tradesmen but by others; he knew other
persons besides tradesmen had had thing, oat the pave-
ment ; he himself had tried to keep the pavement open
before his bonae.—Mr. Williarnamid he roust is
answer that be had frequently remarked that Mr.
Dunham hod taken up a great deal of apace in front of
Lis bouw.
