magistrates, hold i Osborne-street, Whirechapel, on Satur-
day, Mr. Beige, churchwarden of Bethnal-green, addressed
the bench, calling the attention of the justices to this most
notorious plate. He said it wu the riseptece of lio3 of the
worst description, both by day and night, and the peaceable
inhabitants were continually an a state of alarm for their
lives and property. The worthy chairman (Jesish
Beg.) said the court sots aware of the nuisance, and would
very readily render any assistance that it could.—Mr. Brigg
remarked that the only effectual remedy would b' to enclose
it.—Alter some further conversation it wu decided that the
chrirman should communicate w ith the lord lieutenant of
the county, and likewise the Secretary of State, with a view
to induce the Commission, r.l of Woods and Forests to set on
the suggestion of Mr. Brigg.
DISPUTED POSSESNION.—LAW r. PHYSICAL FORCE.
—During the latter end of last week the greatest uproar and
contusion has prevailed in the neighbourhood of Milford-
lane, Strand, in consequence of the diputed right of posses.
gen of the premises, IS o. 8, situate on the left-hand side of
the lane. floe premises in question consist chiefly of work-
shops, at present in the occupancy of Mr. Foster, engineer,
The house wu originally taken on less* of Messrs.
Young and Jackson, of Essex-street, by Messrs. Ingram and
Co., the extensive printers, of Crane-court, Fleet-street, and
subsequently rented to the present occupier. It aprears that,
for some months past, a law-suit has been pending between
Messrs. Ingram and Mr. Foster, respecting a certain print-
ing-machine, invented by Mr. Little, of the Illustrated
London News, and manufactured by Mr. Fester. In the
coursa of the action a dispute arcse ea to the right of posses.
lien of the premises, Mr. Foster refusing to quit, and the
parties rejecte. determining to dispossess him. On Thursday
an attempt was made to take possession of the pre-
mises by physical force the ejecting party honing en-
gaged a number of powerful costennonzers to assist them in
the event of any resistance, whilst the person holding pos-
session was qually prepared with se yr ra! of his workmen
and a few sturdy coalporters. A desperate conflict ensued
netseee the parties, sad the wrena that to:lowed haftLs all
description ; and, had it not been for the assis-sace of the
police, several Bees must have le en sacrificed. Some deem
or more of the belligerents were taken to Bow-street police-
court, but were dismissed on the talowing day, the wetter
bring quite out of the magistrate's jurisdiction. During the
whole ut Friday and Saturdsy a strong hely of police were
stationed on the spot, to prevent any breach of the peace;
but, notwithstanding those precateions, on Saturday the dis-
graceful proceedings were twain commenced, when the c
batauts fought each other with crow-bars, stones, tile., and
anything they could lay hold of. The coceequences were
tufa. Four persons were conveyed to Kiug's College
Hospital, soil placed under the care of Mr. Finch, the house
surgeon, two of them (wh >se names we could not learn)
havieg sustained a broken leg each, besides other injuries;
W. Coal, a broken leg and dislocation of the shoulder; J.
Gudgeon, an injury to the scalp, and left arm brokea —not
expected to live.

THE REFORM MOVEMENT.

IdANCIIESTER COMMITTEE.—The number of peti-
tion', in favour of Mr. llume's motion forwarded to paella-
ment from Manchester, through the committee sitting in
Newell's Buildings, up to Friday night, was between 1,600
end 1.700. Many petitions emanating from workshops, fac-
tories, streets, and districts, have been sent direct to London
by their originators, and have been gent rally entrusted to
Mr. Mdr.er Gibson, Mr. Bright, or Mr. Brotherton for pre-
sentation. The experienoe of the emunittee is not in favour
of petitions with single signature, the waste of payer and of
labour in the wri•irg out of the potitions being very groat,
seeing that any one of tho retit;cuu might have leAtu so
written that twenty names could hove boon attaohed thereto'
