NATURALISTS' CLUB

soe
-.dm and concluding field meeting of this interesting
~ety took place yesterday, in the grounds attached to
Chirk Castle; and a party of about two hundred,
including nearly one hundred ladies, assembled at an
early hour. They were not deterred by the unfavour-
able state of the weather; and a few gentlemen joined
them by the afternoon train. Colonel Myddleton
dulph, M.P., received the party in the morning; and the members of it occupied themselves in examiaing
both the castle and the park. There were some attempts
at photography ;' but from the state of the weather they
were but partially successful. There were several prizes
for the, best collection of plants, the first of which was
'obtained by Miss Eibrnn, and the second by Mrs. F.
Boult. Shortly before four o'clock, the company
assembled in a large marquee, where dinner was served
with tea and coffee. The viands were excellent and
most abundant. An address was delivered by the Rev.
H. H.. Higgins, announeinc, the close of the summer •
exenrsion.s, and proposing that during the winter, meet
ings of a more select and limited character be occa—
sionally held. At half-past five o'clock the return train
was in readiness ; and thanks to the arrangements of
Mr. Irviug,-the party reached home in excellent spirits,

and assaulting one of the railway police, and in addition,
Joyce was charged for refusing to give up his ticket when

. ebpster on. Wednesday evening by one of the trains. On arriv—
big at Edge-hill the ticket-eallector went to get the tickets,
and totting both prisoners in a state of intoxication. Joyce had'
then, no ticket, although he stated that he bought one. He.
WWI given time to search for it, hut out ild not Rua it, and then.
both.were ordered to leave the carriage, as they were drunk, .
but they refuSed, and struck the policeman when he went tv.
remove them. Subsequently Joyce, got his ticket some place

der and police" in the street, and on going to the place he
found the cries came_ from the prisoner s- house, which he. -
entered, and found Gregory with a pair of large pistols in his.
hands. The pistols were loaded with powder, and the prisoner
was swearing be would shoot his Wife and daughter. From.
the evidence of-the two latter it appeared that the prisoner-

fear of their lives. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, ,said-
he was the injured person, as his wife and daughter used to.
treat him very badly. He was ordered to find, sureties te.

. (Before Messrs. IiOUGHTON and J. B. BRkNCKER.)
Mr. Braneker, one of the new magistrates, sat yesterday, see-
the' first time. •
THE CLOSING OF THE MARKETS ON SATURDAY
• NIGHT.
The majority of the persons keeping butchers' and other
stalls in Pownall-square Market were summoned, wider the
recent bye-laws, for not having their stalls closed on Saturday
night at ten o'clock, they having remained without closing up•
to half-past ten. The defendants complained, both loud and. •
deep. of the hardships and injustice of the bye-law. They
stated that the market was frequented by the humbler classes
of society, and that the people did not come .to market before
ten o'clock, and it was not only a hardship, but a loss to all
parties to have the markets closed at such an hour, with
perishable goods, which were sure to be spoiled before Monday
tuorning. One defendant went so far as to tell the magistrates
that it was a downright rascally shame. for the Markets
Committee to hare passed such a bye-Jaw? and that it ought
and should be resisted, lie had stood in the market up to
• sit o'clock on Saturday evening, and did not receive five
ehillinf a, and at the very time when his market commenced he
was obliged to shut-up his shop, with his perishable goods.
He could not tutu customers away, except he knocked them
on the head with a chair, and committed murder! It was (he
continued) a regular trick to make money for the Corporation
to summon poor people in this way, to have them fined. The-
' -market was an open one, and it was (he said) a rascally shame•
to act so to the stall-keepers. If the people were treated in
this way, he could tell the bench that the Corporetion would.
soon not be treubled with anyone in the markets, if they did
not let the stalls remain open up to eleven o'clock, the usual,
time, which was the ease all over England. If such a law was
continued, he would either not obey.it, or would leave the.
mar)ret; and, he 'could tell the bench, that the rest of the
stalkeepers would do the same. Mr. Houghton said it the
'people had any complaint to make, they should lay a memorial
before the Markets Committee, and no doubt it would be
attended to. The defendant said there were two memorials
sent to the Council, and they were treated with contempt.
Mr. Houghton said the magistrates had only to administer the
law in the case. A fine of 2s. 6d. and 2s. 6d. costs was imposed
in each case. The defendants again complained of this, but
the magistrates said they could not act otherwise.
THE NEW VEGETABLE MARKET, ISLINGTON.
There were upwards of twenty vegetable dealers belonging
to this market, summoned for allowing baskets, boxes, and
other articles to remain on tee ground after the hour set out
by the bye-laws, and some others were summoned for remain-
ing in the market and transacting come business. Mr. Bluck
appeared
i for the first defendants, and argued that • the poetic-,
resided out of town, and that they lett nothing except what
was required for next day's
and
tmhaerokwret.ersTchoetriledwnaostnreompolvaeeettpreom-
uvindtaildtter etohnetpenactskagewerea, disposed of. He thought the bye-law
one of considerable hardship towards the dealers and he
would appeal to Mr. Houghton, as one of the markets Com-
mittee, if it were not so. Mr. Houghton said the complaints,
of the defendants should be made by memorial to the com-
mittee, and perhaps something would be done on it. The.
bench, he said, had only todcal with the charges before- them.
They fined the defendants 2s 6d and 2s 6d costs in each case.
There were several other persons, described by the marketporters as "importers of Irish cabbage and other fruits"
(laughter), summoned for allowing their crates to remain over night, contrary to the leve-law. These parties loudly
complained of the injustice to which they were subject.
Mel*
paid rent for their places,
and yet there was no place found
for their packages at right except the ground itself. Mr.
Houghton said he could not help that. He fined the defen-
dants 2s Gd aaed 2s 6cl costs each.
The magistrates were engaged for some 'nonrs in disposing
of seamen's wages cases, but the details were void of public
interest, being ordinary disputes between captains and sailors
about disputed claims.
