WORSHIP-STREET.
CAUTION TO URRISHOP-KIJIPZI2.
1030 C Hall, landlord of the Sportsman beerhouse in
Boundary-street, Shoreditch ; John Richards, landlord of
the Garibaldi beerhouse, in Old Nichol-atm*, Bethnal-
green ; and Julius Fi-iedleades, of the Red Lion
beerhouse in Slater-street, Bethnal-green, answered to
summonses wherein they were charged with having sold
beer by retail after • conviction that disqualified them
from so selling.
The proceedings appeared to excite great interest, but
the facts were simply these.:—Mr. Inspector Broad, H
division, proved that on the 26th of April last the
three defendants had been taken before the ma-
gistrates at Bow-street by direction of the excise autho-
litice and charged with selling spirits on the premises
is question, they not being duly licensed for the same.
The facts were fully proved, and a penalty of 121. 10a. in-
flicted in each instance. The adjudication also prohibited
them from again dealing in the sale of beer under
the powers of the 3rd and 4th of Viet., which
they, having been long in the trade, must have
besn well acquainted with. Each came was then formally
proved by the inspector, and each defendant expressed
regret. Hall said he had arted with the busines. Richards
end that be was perfectly unconscious of having Infringed
the act of parliament; and Mr. Wontner, for him urged
that he was waiting an answer from the excise authorities
to an appeal he had made for clemency and a renewal of
his license.
Inspector Broad assured the magistrate that the excise
had not power to grant such application.
His Worship observed that so stringent an act was well
worthy the attention of beereellers, and doubtless very im-
portant to publicans,Defendants were ed nominal amounts and expenses.

Mr. Selfe—Have yon got any horse hair shirts in St.
Lake's workhouse ?

Defendant—l tore my clothing up because it was so
dirty, and I wanted fresh.
Mr. Selfe—A gentleman I know recommends horse hair
shirts in particular cases. They are extremely healthy,
durable and warm, and are not easily destroyed. It may
be worth the Chelsea guardians' while to consider the ad-
vantages of horse hair shirts.
