applied lot to take in objections before the Muter to
the chaste= bad been proposed. It was alleged that a
ecuiderable number of the inhabitants of Bettina were
muss to say cheap in the administration of the charity,
and had umnizialierd the Attoraity-Gaseral, bat that their
memscial had not been attended to. It was inekted that

Ot for the prayer of the petition, sa in
the use siirstre"Lndlow shuttles, where Mr. Le
Chartism bed km allowed to attend before the Muter, and
In the case of Lady Hewky's charities, where similar per-
mission had been given to two sets of presbyteriana.
The Solicitu-General and Mr. Stevens, for the original
yetitkmers, objected to the present application, on the
ground that It would have the effect of impeding the pro-
ceedlya hefore the Master.
Mr. Calvert and Mr. Hill also appeared to oppose the pe-
Utica. Mr. Wray appeared for the Attorney-General.
The Vice-Chancellor maid that he certainly understood the
Attemsy-General to represeat all the parties interested in
the charity. If he admitted different sections of the cons
=unity of Bedford, there might be u minty schemes sub-
mitted for the Master's approval as there were divisions of
opinion upon the particular charity. The proper course, he
thought, would be to leave the cue to the Attorney-Cie I,
who would no doubt attend to any sugeeetion that might be
made. The petitioners might be heard also when the re-
port Mlle before the court Übe confirmed, and he presumed
they might also petition against the bill in parliament. He
would recommend the petitioners to mernorialis., the Attor
'ley-General, and would make no order upon the peution,
bat allow it to stand over till Saturday, the 7th July.

THE POLICE COURTS.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

/hots William Law and Mr.
Alfred Forsyth, glass- paper makers, were charged with
having committed the following outrage at the shop of
Menus. C. and R. Robinson, artists' colour makers, Char-
lotte-street, Rathbons-platn.
Mr. Charles Robinson said about 4 o'clock on Thursday
afternoon the defendants came into his shop. Lammas armed
with a thick stick, and he said with an oath, " have a
' settlement now, or I'll break everything in your shop." Wit.
nese told the defendants to leave the shop, as they bad
already made themselves amenable to the law. Forsyth re-
plied that he did not care for the law, and then clenching his
fist, be told him he would spoil his face if he did not fame-
diately pay 31. 61. that was owing. Complainant requested
them sgsin to leave the shop, as they caused a crowd, and
ware sending away the customers. Laws replied while he
was in the shop complainant should not take sispence
from any one ; then raising his stick he said
he would break every bone in complainant's rascally
body if he did not pay 3s. 6d. fir a dozen of drawing.books
which had been supplied to the 'his. Complainant dis-
puted the demand, on the ground that he had no recollec-
tion of the books having been received. Complainant was
quit* willing that the matter should be referred to the
county court, as he was ready to pay, if proof could be
given that the books had really been supplied.
The defendants said one of the Robrasons had a knife,
and this had caused irritation. Thoy had been taken from
their bu.iness, in order to get in a debt which bed been con-
tracted as far back as January. The case had been greatly
exaggerated.
Mr. liardwick said he had never heard of a more entre-
giz.us proceeding. The courts of law were open to the de.
(indents, if they had any claim which they could substan-
tiate, and he should therefore call upon the detendants to
put in good bail to answer the charge at the session.
