MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

(Before Mr. Payne, at Clerkenwell.)
Renry Ripley and William Barr, drovers, were inlicted
for " unlawfully, wilfully, and contemptuously disturbing a
aerials' congregation of persons celled Letter-Day Baines, as-
sembled for the purpose of religious worship."
Mr. F. H. Lewis appeared for the prosecution; Mr. Met-
calfe for the defendants.

The defendants pleaded guilty.
Mr. Lewis said this prosecution had been instituted by the
elder" of a congregation of persons belonging to the Mormon
church, for the purpose of being protected (rota a systatn of
annoyance and interruption to which they had been for some
time subjected while in the performance of their religious
I worship. These defendant" had taken part in such annoy-
, auto, but there was every reason to believe they were the
dopes of another person, whose name need not then be man.
honed, sad Mr. Metcalfe, their counsel, had with his usual
judgmeet and discretion advised them to take tho coarse
they had adopted in pleading guilty, and, as the nuly object
of the elders was to obtain the protection of the law, they
believed that the defendants, having seen the folly and im-
propriety of their conduct in interfering with the proceedings
tittle 000gregition in question, that object would be attained
by their being bound in their own recognisance@ to oome up
for judgment when called upon. If they repeated their mia-
oetvluct they would most certainly be called upon to receive
entenoe; if they did not, of course they would hear no
more dthe matter.
Mr. Metcalfe said the defendant. wen willing to enter into
their own recognisance' to appear If required; and with
respect to any exercise of discretion for which Mr. Lewis
had gives him credit be had only to stay that the defendant.,
es two drunken mcn in a disorderly crowd, had done that
which they were not legally justified in doing, and which
they would not repeat.
Mr. Lewis said, although the doctrines of the Mormons
were not what everybody approved of, still, as a religious
body, they must be protected from annoyance in the exercise
of their religion.
Mr. Payne said the law protected all religious bodies
peaceably aseembkd for the purpose of worship, end it must
be equally and not partially administered to all denominations.
The defendants must each enter into his own ref-01[064pp,
In the yam of 501. to come up when called upon, and if they
repeated the distort:emu they would be brought op and dealt
with as the court might think fir, and if they did not appear
whoa celled upon, they would be liable to be imprisoned
until the amount of the recognisance was paid in each OW.
Thine who professed Mortoontam, or say other ism, when
peaceably assembled for the purpose of worship in an autho-
rised piece, must not be disturbed, they were entitled to the
protection of the law, which the court was bound to enforce.
The defendants promised not to offend again, and having
entered into their own reeognieeness, were discharged.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—BRADFORD, SEPT. 9,_
The operations in wool during the week have been only on a
limited scale. The high prices are inch that spinners and
manufacturers begin to manifest caution, fearing that Use
trade may be +gain approaching. a dangerous precisee.
There is still a fair amount of business doing in wormed
yarns, both for borne use and for export, manufacturers being
obliged to yield the higher rates consequent upon the stiffer
rates currant for the raw material. There is a good demand
for cotton yarns, especially the lower and middling mutate.
There is continued animation in the piece market. The en-
hanced rates of labour and raw material, however, require
great firmness on both the put of the spinner and manatee.

business. As stocks are diminished, they are generally stile
to command prices which will leave a profit, though dim
position at resent is rather adverse.
