/ISLD'S CAII.—WOIDISO OP ACT.
Mr. Russell and Mr. Presdergest moved, on behalf of the
glacial manager, by way of appeal, that the Earl of Mans-
field's name might be placed on f
inding-up list costributories to
the above company ander the WAct. Lord Mans-
field had appliid for shame, and had, on Jane 30, 1845, ae.
imowledgid the receipt of 10 shwa in a note to the seem
tarp. The deed of eettlemeat was not then emented, nor bad
the company been completely registered. No further step
was taken by Lord Mansfield, who paid no attention to
• cell made upon his in 1848. It was contended that
Lord Mansfield had made himself liable to contribute. The
ease had stood over until the decision of the Master in
likacpuies case was known, that ems having been referred
bath to bias to review his decision upon it. The Master, on
',viewing his decieioa, had cheeped his original opinion, and
held Mr. Sharpus liable to be on the list.
Mr. Melina, ter the Rail of Men-lield, submitted that he
had r.
to contribute to such a company as had
been formed, sad ought nct to be on the list.
Tee Vies•Chaneellor, who communicated with the Master
before giving his decision, mid that the remit of the com-
munication was, that the Muter had changed his opinion,
on as mutative consideration of the provisions of 7 & 8 Vie •
e. 110, s. 23, being whiled that, alter complete ',reared: n,
the 'wormy was fully formed. Such Wog his Honoue's
spiel°, also, aad the ems of Mr. Sherrie being the mese as
preseat, it would be us.less to send tack the CASS to the
Mater fee review, and kb Honour would, therefore, at once
&met the Earl of Kansileld's same to be pLeed oa the list.
Rs USITISSAL S
—WISPINO-0e ACT.
Mr. Russell and Mr. Prend malt moved is this CASs that
the reepondtnt's name might bs placed 04 the list, the
Bias er basing 'helloed to place it there. The relsodeat
was the pitcyrictor of the Polgteekitie Mertes' and the
Railway Reg isles, of which the anapany bad psrehesed espies
leStaigiU2K articles favourable to OW' scheme. He agreed
to USA shares in plyment of the amount dee to him, which
was 251., but &Mind to sign the deed, and be toot the
shahs upon an agreement that he was not thereby to con-
tract any liability. It was contended that this mem went did
not exempt him from the liability to be plated oa the list.
Mr. Bacon and Mr. Ferrer, for the respondeat, c.intentied
that tse pommel between Mr. Woodfati and the company
was binding, and 'Lemony exoserated him from liability se
between himself and the eoutpaay.
Mr. Russell, in reply, said that Mr. Woodfall bad sold the
shares at a premium after the eompsny was completely »-
Owned, thus brining him within the authority of
thespec'e
Iwo Viee-Cnaneellor did not think the case turned on the
bet of Mr. Woodtall having sold the sham befine or after
complete registration: for, at the outs t, he contracted with
them who ',pretested the whole company that he wee sot
to be hauls, and that being so, he ought not to be placed on
the list. Ibe appeal must be dismissed, bat the costs might
some out of the general estate.

A witness said the prisoner frequen,ly carried in his
arm+ so infant from whose assistance be derived consider
elle emolument, and it wss hit practice, when detected as an
imposter, st.ll infest...mid with punishmeat, to att
as a ract
man
the
oympathy of the cr•wd bs pointing at his scowl r
who had just cruelly treated his baby.
The Lord Mayor—Well, priwiner, ten. e
that you are
well known to the best judees of impoeten. What have you

to ay?
The Prieoner—Wlty, most of what you have beard, my
lord, is true. I don't lino* in what gaol I have not been tor
street mendicessey, and the moment I get out in I go again
to that, until I go into my grave, I suppose it will -be all the
same. It has been said I pretended to sell pencils when
lithete
police saw me. It is the foot that I always carry
stationery about me, and that I pull it out when I see
danger. Well, that seed a great many other things that are
said against me are true, but I hope there Is some redeeming
quality about me, and God willing I am willing to apply it
to some use Don't send me to Bridtwell. but send me to
Shoraditeh workhouse, where I bays a claim, and where,
as the governor was once my tutor, he may help me to the
office of echoolmas•er, which I can fill to the satisfaction of
the parish. (Lsughter.)
The officers of the Mendicity Society said the prisoner had
made many appeals, which were attended with wonderful
effect, but his vile propensity to a vagrant and filthy life
soon showed itself, and he went on from bad to worse.
The Lord Mayor sentenced the mendicant to hard labour
for three months in the House of Correction, and said that
his nest experiment of the kind should be marked by impri-
sonment for 12 months and a *punt whipping.

GUILDHALL.
IMPROPER TREATIIRNT OF PALMS' CHILDRIN AT TRZ
WEST LONDON UNION.—D. Flynn. and his wile, Julia
Firm, with Hand, were charged before Ald. Carden
with begging, the offence having been proved, the male
prisoner was sent to I rison for one month with hard
labour, and his wife for fourteen days. That they shall re
(wive no Christmas allowance, and the money found on
them go to their support. With respect to the children,
they were sent to the workhouse to be properly taken
care of.
After they left the court, Mr. Roe observed to the alder-
man that the children had their heads shaved, with the ex-
ception of a slight line of hair that would just appear out-
ride the bonnets or cape of the children.
The Alderman immediately ordered that the West-London
Woe khouse aloha' should forthwith attend in the board-
room, and on inquiring into the circumstance", of the case,
he ascertained that the practice of shaving the pauper dell-
dren' effectual Nal a usual one in that workhouse, and that
this but inhuman " short cut " to dualities", was
performed in noreuaiina of the orders of the ma who
acted in accordance with the advice of the union barber.
Alderman Carden asked why they were not cleansed with
*Dap and water?
The barber, whose name is Lead, mid it was impossible
to do so.
Alderman Carden—When you shave children's heads do
you always leave a ring of hair, so that when a cap or
bonnet is on the shaving will not be seen ?
Mr. Lead—l do ; because the front is not always so bad
as at the back.
Alderman Carden—What do you get a week for your
attendance on the paupers ?
Mr. Lead—l am paid 7s. Bd. for attending to from 300 to
400 paupers to shave them.
Chief Clerk—How much per head are you paid for shaving
heads ?
Mr. Lead—l don't like to answer that question, but I will
if the alderman wishes et.
Alderman Carden—You must answer it.
Mr. Lead—Then I get 6d. each for shaving children s
heads, and Id, each for hair cutting.
Alderman Carden—l now see why children get their heads
shaved. It tarns in so much into the p cket of the barber.
It certainly makes up for the low price of 71. 6d. for attend-
ing 400 persons.
Mr. Lead—Yea, ft does pay.
Alderman Carden—This 1 consider a most cruel system,
and it shall not end here. The matron, nurse and y.oursel
must attend here to and I wia thoroughly investi-
gate the whole case.
The children were then conveyed to the workhouse, with
orders that proper care should be taken of them.
Their appearaccs exci.ed great iympathy in court while
the above investigation was going forward.
