SMITUNISLD CLUB CATTLE SilOW.—At stand 43, in the
gallery, was a roily good collection of agricultural roots
(undoubtedly the best ever shown at Smithfield), exhibi-
ted by Messrs. Edward Webb and Sons, Seedsmen to
Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the
Prince of Wales. These specimens were grown from
seed supplied by Messrs. Webb, and contributed by their
customers in various parts of the kingdom. in competition
for prizes offered at the recent Royal Root Shot!, at
Wordsley, which was the largest Agricultural Root Show
ever held in the kindom. The bulbs staged were re-
markable for massive proportions, heavy weights, and
superior quality. Among the growers of the chief exhib-
tors shown are Her Majesty the Queen ; His Grace the
Duke of Portland; The Marquis of Anglesea ; The Earl
of Warwick; Earl Beauchamp; Earl Fowls; Lord
Hampton; Lady Ward ; Sir G. Chetwode, Bart.; Sir E.
Buckley, Bart.; C. C. Cotes, Esq., M P.; and other All-
known Agriculturists. The collection of Webbs' " Col.
onel North Yellow Globe Mangold " is certainly the
finest ever shown on any stand at one time, some of the
roots being especially remarkable for their fleshy quslity,
large size, and perfect solidity. Of swedes, it is undeni-
able that Webbs " Imperial, which has secured the
highest honours of the agricultural year, maintains its
position as the heaviest cropping and best swede in cul-
tivation. Both First and Second Prizes were last week
awarded to this excellent variety at Birmingham, in the
open swede class, and similai honours were given to
Webbs' Turnips and Carrots. Webbs' "Mammoth Long
Red Mangold' were of gigantic size and excellent growth
aid were noticeable for their broad shoulders. Webbs'
" Yellow Fleshed Tankard Mangold," is a wonderful ex-
hibit. It is known as the best feeding variety yet intro-
duced, and and on this account was awarded First Prize
by the Staffordshire Agricultural Society. A novelty in
the shape of a new Mangold, " Webbs' Kinver Yellow
Globe" attracted considerable notice. It corchines quali-
ties that will probably make it the most favoured variety
of Globe Mangold in cultivation. This Mangold has
been raised, after judicious selection by Messrs. Webb
and; Sons, at their Kinver Hill Seed Faun. There is a
very good collection of carrots and Potatoes, including
Webbs' *' Surprise Potato," grown by His Grace the
Duke of Portland, which was awarded Ist prize at Bir-
mingham. In another part of their stand the firm also
exhibit grasses, illustrative of the character of the Grass
Seeds used in their admirable mixtures for Permanent
Pasture.

OLD HILL.

THE LATE CHARGE. UNDER THE FACTORY ACTS.—It
the Police Court, on Wednesday, before Major Smith
nes•rs. N. Hingley and H. Howard, John Clay, a rivet
manufacturer, Black Heath, was summoned by Mr. J. A.
Jon-s, Inspector of Factories for that he being the owner
of a certain rivet mannfactury, did employ. Samuel
Bissell without having registered his name, and further
charged with net obtainiug a medical certificate ef the
same lad. Mr. Stokes who appeared for the defence said
that defendant was liable under the Factory Act, but he
was not aware that he was responsible. He did not
employ the boys, but only the men, and the men employed
the boys and paid them. Defendant cotVd not prove
that there were not more than 50 men employed on the
day Mr. Jones visited the factory, a hundred days during
the preeding year. There were four other charges
against defendant for not registering two other buys
named George Taylor and Thomas Woodward, and not
obtaining medical certificates. Mr. Jones said he had
no objection to the minimum penalty in the two first cases
In the two cases respecting Samuel Bi.ssell, defendant,
was fined £1 and costs in e.eli case, and -in the other
four cases defendant was ordered to pay costs.—William
Bissell was charged with neglecting to cause his son
Samuel Bissell to attend school. Mr. Jones said on the
11th ult. he visited the factory of Mr. John Clay, at
Rowley, and found the lad, Samuel Bissell at work. The
boy had not attended school the necessesary etunber-of
times. Defendant said he had not had sufficient wolk
lately, and the lad had worked for Mr. Clay nine weeks.
Major Smith said the lad had only attended 21 times in
nine weeks, and he ought to have attended 45 times.
Fined 5s and and coats; in default 14 days. Defendant
asked for time to pay the fine and costs, and Mr. Jones
said he would allow him six weeks to pay it in.
STEALING AND .RECEIViNti COAL. Willi= Street,
9 years of. age, was charged with stealing 251bs of coal,
tire property of Messrs. Downing and Priest, at Tividale,
on the 30th ult. and Mary btreet was charged with re-
ceiving the same knowing it to be stolen, Mr. Downing
' said on the above date he saw the lad take the coal from
the pit mound on the Hallbriclge Colliery, Tividale. He
took it into the house and the female defendant was
watching the boy the whole of the time. He had pre-
viously cautioned both the woman and the boy. De-
fendants pleaded guilty, and the boy was ordered to be
confined for 24 hours and the woman was committed to
Stafford Gaol for one month.
DABIAGE ON THE GREAT WESTERN ltm.wAy.—Mbert
Morris was charged by Inspector John Lock, on behalf
of the Great Western Railway Company with having
on the 12th of November, at the parish of Rowley, no.
and wilfully tear and damage a certain curtain
belonging to the compa•iy. Henry Yates, of Dudley,
said he was a passenger on the Great Western Railway
on the 11th of November, by the 11.5 p.m., from Snow
Hill to Dtidley via Stourbridge. Defendant travelled in
the same compartment. Defendant got in at Birmincr.
hcm, and when they arrived at the next station he called
out" guard," and began pulling theie hats of. He
wanted to toss witness which took both hats. Defendant
pulled down one of the blinds and throv it out of the
window, and was proceeding to pull the other one down,
when witness stopped him. Defendant was intoxic.ited.
Mr. Inspector Lock said the damage done amounted to
ss. In cases of this description they had great difficulty
in detecting the guilty persons, and they frequently had
considerable damage done to the carriages. Defendant
expressed his regret, and said he was exceedingly sorry
that the affair occurred. He had been drinking, and
not being accustomed to it it overcame him, and he had
no knowledge of the affair. It was the first time he had
ever been before the Magistrates, and it would be the
last. Major Smith said it was a very foolish thing to do
and he was fined 20e, 5s damage and costs; 12s.
