THE NEW STREET PROW BLACIVRIAZEI MIMI TO THE

111181011-ROCBE.
Alderman W. UMW-VCR, M.P., put some questions to
Mr. H. Lowman Taylor, as one of the representatives of
the City of London at the Metropolitan Board of Works.
to which body, as our readers are aware, the duty of
making a newstreet fromßlackfriambridgetothe Mansion-
house u entrusted, with reference to the progress that
is making with the work. He went at some length into
the proceedings in parliament in reference to the under-
taking, and various other matters connected with it, and
concluded by putting some questions to Mr. Taylor, the
effect of which was to ascertain what steps bad been taken
by the Metropolitan Board of Works in taking possession
of and demolishing the property that would be required
for making the new stress, whether it would be pro:Moab%
to open the Oity end from Oannea-street to the Mansion-
house before the other portion from liarletweet to Can-
non-street, and lastly, within what period it might rea-
sonably be expected that the whole street would be
finished? _ _

Mr. H. LOWILAN TATLOE said the worthy alderman had
made rather a lengthened statement as a preface to the
questions which he had given him notice be intended to
put to him, but be believed that substantlally he only
required information on three or four points, and he
would give as full and satisfactory a reply as it was
in his power to do. He believed be might state that
the Metropolitan Board of Works were In possession
of nearly the whole of the property that would be required
for the purpose of making the new street, and by Christ-
mu they would be in pomemion of the remainder. The
Metropolitan Board were most anxious to proceed with
the works, but unfortunately they were mixed up with a
railway—the Metropolitan Distnct Railway—which bad
obtained the sanction of parliament to construct their line
in connexion with the Thames Embankment and the pro-
posed new street, and nothing could be done at the Black.
friars end except in conjunction with the railway company,
and this had occasioned very great difficulty in connexion
with the works at this portion of the new street, and was
likely to cause very considerable delay. (Hear, hear.) In-
deed, he was afraid that for some years to come, owing to
;the circumstance to which he had adverted, the
BLackfriars end of the street was not likely to
be completed. With regard to the otber__portion
of the work, from Cannon-street to the Mansion.
house, there was no such difficulty, and he saw uo reason
why this wt of the new street might not be completed at
once. hear.) As to the remaining question, when
the street was likely to be completed and opened for
traffic, be was only alas to say that he could give no
information upon the matter. (Laughter.)

Edward Lee, 21, was indicted for breaking and entering
the dwelling-house of William IVoolridge, and
stealing
therein an umbrella and other articles, the o
Richard Charles Toms, and two coats and other articles,
the property of Henry PohL
The prosecutor lives at No. 26, Richmond-road, Barns-
bury, and between 12 and 1 o'clock on the afternoon of
Christmas-day, he went out, leaving the doors and win-
dows closed and fastened. He returned borne about half-
past 7 in the evening, when he found the front parlour
window open at the top, and the Venetian blind pulled
down to the bottom of the window, and not in the state it
was when he quitted the house. He then went and un-
locked the front door, but could not obtain en entrance, as
be found that it was chained inside, and he beard the
footsteps of some one running down the stairs. He gave
an alarm, and went to the ganlen of the next house, where
he found a man who began pelting him with atones. In
moment afterwards the prisoner was seen getting over the
garden wall into the street, and having done so he was
followed by several other persons. As a policeman came
up the prisoner was unable to make his escape, and was
given into custody. In the garden were found some
bundles containing a large quantity of property packed up
and ready to be carried away.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
Herbert Reeves, warder at the House of Correction,
Coldbath-fields, put in the following convictions against
the prisoner:—Three months, 21st April, 1660; three
months, August 10,1660 ; two months, January 19, 1861;
three months, April 17, 1661 ; three months, September 5,
1861 ; three month', September 25, 1862 ; two months,
June 25 1863; three months, September 4, 1+163, and
since then three years' penal servitude at the Lewes'
sessions. He was at the present time on ticket-of-leave.
The Assistant-Judge said any eoervations would be
thrown away upon such a person, and sentenced him to be
kept in penal servitude for seven years.
Charles Brown, 26, Joint Dris../f, 22, and Am ry J"hn•
son, 23, were indicted for breaking and entering the ware-
house of Peter Smith, and stealing therein 4 coats and 42

This case arose out of the following circumstances. The
Alexandra Saloon Steamboat met with an accident in the
pool which necessitated some repairs being done to her
machinery. The consequence was that she was sent to the
plaintiff's yard, near Victoria Docks, and work was done
to the amount of 1181. Is. Md. This amount it was now
sought to recover.

31r. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Turiary appeared for
the plaintiff ; and Mr. hay for the defendant.
It appeared that the Alet.indra was owned by a limited
liability company, of which the defendant was a director.
Another circumstance was that the defendant, having been
for a good many years a shipbuilder, he took a somewhat
active part in reference to the repairs of the vessel. • The
case for the plaintiff was that the defendant personally
gave the orders, and that the work was done upon his
credit, whilst on the other hand the 01,1 was that the fact
that the vessel belonged to r. company was written upon
the vessel, and also appeared upon placards banging in the
saloon ; and that the defendant acted only as one of the
company, and never intended to take upon himself any
personal liability.
The jury found for the plaintiff for the amount claimed.

JANUARY 22, 1867.

Mr. Justice Blackburn said it appeared.to him that the
keeper's objection to allow any one to be served with pro-

Herbert Reeves, prison officer, proved a previoua con.
viction of four pars' penal servitude Against Brown on the
27th of Kash, 1863, at the sessions of this court for rub-
bery from a dwellimphouae, and he had then been four
times previously convicted.

but it was stated that he was the constant companion of

eon for five years.
John Thateher, 15, was indicted for stealing 10 cotton
handkerchiefs. value 4s. 01, the property of William
Howell and another.

The prisoner pleaded guilty.
On the 10th of December Inspector Carpenter, of the
London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway, was in
Wilton-road, near the Victoria station, and beard the re-
port of a fog signal, and at the same moment he saw the
prisoner standing near to a cart that had just paused over
the fog signal. Knowing that the fog signal could not pro-
perly have been obtained. he seized the prisoner, and on
searching him found another fog signal and ten handker-
chiefs. The fog signals had been taken from the Victoria
station, where the prisoner's brother was employed, and
the handkerchiefs were identified by Mr. Howell, of
Warwick-street, Pimlico, where the prisoner and his
brother were employed as carpenters in fitting up the shop.
The Assistant..ludge sentenced the prisoner to be im-
prisoned and kept to bard labour for three months, and to
have twenty stripes with a birch rod.
London, England, 1867-01-22

DINNTRON r. HARDING AND OTHUS.

Mr. Quain, Q.C., made in this ease a very novel
application. He moved for a rule enabling the plain-
tiff to proceed against one of the defendants as if
personal service had been made upon him. The defendant
Crocker is a lunatic in a private lunatic asylum, and
hitherto the plaintiff had been deprived from serving Lim
with the process of the court. The keeper would not
allow access to the lunatic. The wife had been served
with the writ, and requested to serve it on her hosbaad,
but she declined. There had been no inquiry de lunatico, and
no committee had been appointed to manage the lunatic's
affairs, and consequently the plaintiff was entirely set at
defiance. Mr. Owen, the keeper, did not state that the
serving the writ on the lunatic would have any possible
injury on him, but declined on the ground that he would
not permit an 7 one in his establishment to be served with
process. If his application could not be entertained in
that form he was to apply for a writ of habeas corpus.
The Lord Chief Justice—The keeper does not suggest
that serving the lunatic would be prejudicial to him ?
Mr. Quain—No.
The Lord Chief Justice—Then, should not your appli-
cation be for an attachment against the keeper for con-
tempt of this court in not permitting its process to be
served!

WEATHER REPORT.-{THIS DAY.)

TCEIDAT, .1 ANVARY re, 8 L.
London, England, 1867-01-22

THE FRENCH REFORMS.

The nature of the new changes in the institutions of
France leads the Times to regret that the finality of the
measures is announced in such positive term'. In the
opinion of our contemporary the privilege of interpellation,
which by a tedious and circumlocutory process is con-
ceded, is not an equivalent for the privilege of speaking
on the address which is taken away. The power of moving
amendments on the address under the former state of
things was sure to be given once every session, whereas it
needs but the refusal of the committee to deprive a mem-
ber of the substituted power of interpellation altogether.
Of much greater importance is the provision which declares
that the existence of no journal can be cut short except
by the sentence of a court of law. Possibly these oon-
cesaions may be as much as it is prudent to make in the
present state of French political opinion. We are not
each doctrinaires as to suppose that what suits us is neces-
sarily the best for our neighbour'. We have, besides,
reason to put some confidence in the ability and discretion
which have so long characterised the internal government
of the empire ; but we meet end as we began, by express-
ing our belief that this is not " the crowning of the
edifice," and that France deserves, and will oue day re-
ceive, a far larger measure of liberty than that very mo-
derate portion which she is told is all she is to enjoy
either at present or for the future.
The Post regard. the step now taken as one which must
inevitably lead to direct ministerial responsibility to the
Chambers, although the Emperor is careful not to admit
it. A proof of this tendency is the immediate resignation
of the whole ministry in consequence of the Emperor's
adoption of the views of their opponents, the tiers para.
And it is difficult to suppose that a Minister of Foreign
Affairs, or of Finance, or of any other department, can go
down to the Chamber to defend his policy, and, in the
event of a successful parliamentary attack upon it, not be
at once dismissed by the Emperor. As to the press, it is
better that it should be subject to the control of the
law as interpreted by judges, as the day which should see
it amenable only to a jury would witness the commence-
ment of the sapping of the empire.
The Telegraph continues to write in defence of imperial
institutions and imperial policy, and is gratified to think
that the new reforms are not designed to introduce any
change into the general system on which the rule of Napo-
leon 111. has been established with the consent of his
countrymen.
If constitutional reform, says the Star, were never toko
any farther in France, these reforms would hardly be
worth asking for. But it is not in the power even of Em-
perors to decree " finality," anal the Star does not believe
the Emperor Napoleon meant his words to be regarded in

THE. CONSCIENCE CLAUSE.

The Deals Heirs criticises a letter of Mr. Hubbard.
M.P., presenting various objections to the conscience
clause, the policy to be adopted respecting which causing, it
is said, some embarrassment to Lord Derby. Writing as
a member of parliament, and discussing the duty of the
state, Mr. Hubbard deliberately proposes that the state
shall leave a minority unprovided for in its scheme of
education. " They may remain uneducated," he says,
" but they will so remain by their own act ; they decline to
avail themselves of the school which is open to them if
they accept its rules, and they bear the penalty of
their prejudice or their conscientiousness, whichever
the motive of their objection may be called.
They remain untaught ; yet they are no worse
off, if the majority obtain a grant and built
a school, than if there be no school built."
This practical result will probably decide the question for
most mind.. The legislation which takes are of the
majority—generally capable of taking care of itself—and
leaves the minority out of its calculation, is not that of
nation, but that of a party. The Deily News asks Mr.
Hubbard's fellow conservatives whether in any of the
speeches of those who are endeavouring to Americanise
our glorious constitution and deliver us over to the licence
of an unbridled democracy, they ever saw the divine right
of the majority asserted with more relentless rigour and
to a more pernicious conclusion than in this letter of the
honourable member for Buckingham

Mr. Lawrence, for the asaignees, did not oppose. The
materials in course of manufacture would be realised for
the benefit of the estate ; the premises, plant, &0., were
taken by the mortgagees. It was desirable that the
bankrupt should have his discharge, in order that be might
assiet in carrying on the manufacture and realising the
proceeds.
Mr. Bagley, who represented the executors of the de-
ceased mortgagee, was desirous of having further accounts.
The bankrupt had not shown the disposal of large amounts
of cash which had conic into his hands. Looking at the
email amount of enacts, the case was clearly one for further
inquiry, and ought to have been so treated by the
"IX;
Honour said that as the mortgagee had not proved
against the estate, be could not entertain the application
of Mr. Bagley ; but with reference to that, and looking at
the largeness of the figures, he thought that time should
be given for inquiry. An adjournment would therefore be
ordered.

" I consider it as absolutely necessary to display

which the government, whose intentions and line
of conduct have been repeatedly clearly expressed,
has asked the Chamber of Deputies not to com-

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Mc. 7, EvENnta.

In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies
the affair of the Danish deputies Herren Krueger
and Ahlmann, who refuse to take the oath to the
Prussian constitution except under protest, came
on for discussion.

The proposal of the committee was almost unani-
mously adopted, whereby the Chamber refuses to
allow them to take the oaths under protest, and
in case of their persisting in their present attitude,
excludes them from their seats, and calls upon the
government to institute fresh elections in Note
Schleswig.

The President will invite Herren Ahlmann did
Krueger at the next sitting to take the rogu/ar
oaths to the constitution.

Lord Loftus, the British ambassador, his re-
quested the Prussian cabinet to thank the corn-
mender and officers of the Prussian ship Vineta for

of Japan.

garded as certain, be a great commercial success—
thanks not a little to its economy of construction.
Botzen is a very flourishing town, and no won-
der, when its advantageous position as an entrepa
and the fertility of the country around it are con-
sidered. Some of the inhabitants fear, however,
that the railway will interfere with its depot
trade. There is literally nothing that does not
grow to perfection around Botzen. From here to
Meran is one long suxession of vineyards, apple
and pear orchards, fruits, flowers, and grain of all
kinds and descriptions. Munich, Vienna, the
various towns of Northern Italy, and even distant
Moscow, are supplied with fresh fruit from Botzen.
The number of travellers who pass through Botzen
is large, and will, of course, now greatly increase ;
but on looking over the nationalities of the stran-
gers' book at the principal and excellent hotel—
the Kaiser Krone—the English travellers who rest
here bear a very small proportion to the general
aggregate. There is, however, • solitary English
gentleman permanently residing in the town.
It is at Botzen that the Italian element of the
Tyrol comes into serious competition with the Ger-
man population, and seems to have the better of
it. The Italians are said to be better workpeople
here, more industrious, dependable, and better
tempered. They are, too, more frugal and tem-
perate in their habits, live principally on palmed,
which the Germans will not eat, and are much
more economical in every respect. The two races do
not amalgamate very well ; and it may be here-
after that clashing nationalities will produce harm
in the Tyrol.

CLERKENIVIXL.

Alfred Brown, aged 18, of 54, Rosoman-street, Clerken-
well, a fishmonger, was charged with attempting to obtain
by means of a forged order a quantity of goods from Messrs.
Trevordi and Co., of CornhilL
Mr. Mullen., solicitor, prosecuted.
For some time past the tradesmen of Clerkenwell have
been victimised by a person supposed to be the prisoner
going to them with forged orders and obtaining large quan-
tities of goods. In this case he went to the prosecutors'
with an order written in pencil on a piece of paper with •
deep black border, and asking for one dozen pieces of mus-
lin and half a pound of bronze, for the purpose of making
artificial flowers, The clerk to the prosecutors, having
suspicion that the order was wrong, asked the prisoner
where he had brought the order from, and he said that he
had been sent by Dlr. Nicholas. Knowing this to be false,
he called a constable and gave the prisoner into custody.
Police-sergeant Evans, 22 C, asked for a remand, and
said that he understood there were several other ewe.
against the prisoner, not only in Clerkenwell but in the
City.
The prisoner said he had given the order in this case,
but he knew nothing about the other cases that had been
mentioned.

Mr. Barker remanded the prisoner until Thursday next,
and refused to accept bail.
The prisoner was then removed.
Eli:a Freeman and El cabetA Williams, two stout young
women, were charged with neglecting to do their task of
work at St. Pancras Workhouse.

The prisoners are known in the house a refractory
paupers. On Thursday they were told to pick oakum,
but instead of doing so they all ran over the house and
began larking with the men. When asked to do their
work they said they did not intend to do any. The
prisoners were very noisy, and their language wee very
bad. They caused a disturbance in the wards, and it was
found necessary to lock them up. One of them had been
sent to no less than three situations, but she would not
stop at any of them.
The defendants denied that they made a noise, or that
they spoke to the male inmates.
Mr. Barker sentenced each of the defendants to seven
days' imprisonment in the House of Correction.
Williass Fox, Georiee Lewis, Geor9e Rice, and Charles
Wilms, stout young fellows, were charged with wilfully
destroying their clothing at st. Pancras Workhouse.
The defendants were admitted to the workhouse and
supplied with food. This morning it was found that
Wilson had destroyed all his clothing and the others •
portion.
The defendants made the usual defence, that their
clothes were dirty and ragged.
Mr. Barker sentenced Wilson to one month's hard labour
and the others to 21 days' hard labour in the House of
Correction.
