°Hennes • character, and involved such a contempt of tto
court, that Mr. Day should stand committed to the Marshal-
sea, he denied that the communications were urines
by him.
Mr. Day—l will never deny anything I have ever done.
The letters are in my handwriting
Chancellor—Then you must stand committed.
Mr. I)4—As I have made a charge against Master
Brooke, I trust year lordship will inquire into the teas,
and have an investigation into my character. I complain
that injustice has been done me, and it your lordship does

parliament for redress.

of unmesonsey Snaday tzeiiag, and to take into consider&
. .

don the propriety of co-operating with the promotes of the
bill Lemmatised lase swiss km whammies by Mr, Charles
Poem with that Moises. A depilation from Lambeth at-
seeded. The ehirchwarden, D. From, Beg., tusk the
*air at eight o'clock. Very few poems were present. The
chairman briefly ezplained the object of the meeting, which
no
Cimino' or philanthropist, and particalarly no medical
mu, Gould fall 10 approve, emmely, to steam oat day in
oven to the indastrioes dames. That was the only object.
This was sot a Sabbath ebeseveatie b,U—not • bill or behalf

principles of to. movers, bat could no pledge himself to

one, and it woad be isepossible to frame an enactment that
shoed be somplable to all parties. Etch ono, therefore must
',btu something of private pre-jailor sad opinions, to forward
the gsnotal good. One day in Won he said u a medical

only like a market, be: positively like a fair. Nuns-tenths
of the Sunday trading was not only quit nonscesiary, but
diseseditable to a Christian wintry. In seconding the
resohatica Mr. Haman, of Lambeth, went through the
principal provbioes of the bill, and deocribed their opera-

the meeting In support of the measure. Tte ohiof aron-
meow seed were the necessity of rest on the seventh day ;
bunt apart from any religions restriction, and disclaiming
and repelling any attempt to make the measure one to com-
pel Sabbatical observances, which one or two persons were
desirous to do, the majority declared they would mitt
inch an attempt to the uttermost, and would rather forego
the present proposal than accept it under such a condition.
831 rill of the speakers wished the custom of paying wages
on Friday to be adopted, in *Het that the whole of Satur-
day's market might be open to the working classes,' bat the
general feeling, although approving the proposition, wee to
miss the arm* to its specific object—to prevent none-
' daseery Sunday twang. It was alleged on all rands that
the great mejority Of skopkopen were desirous of keepleig
siem shut oa Sondem but that it had been proved
expettmentelly that it was impossible to effect the
object by voluntary agreement; ter when such agree-
meats were suds some of the sabecrlbers would
always but through them, secretly; at first, but oboe
openly; ; general weekly custom was thus withdrawn
from the shops whit* were closed to those which gave
'aectuassodation to buyers on the Sabbath. Therefore, legis-
lative interference became practically neotiory, for trades-
men found it Impossible to close gladiola protection against
Wait competition. It appeared to be the general impru-
dent that the proposed measure did 'l6i-interfere with the
