LAMBETH.

Yesterday from 150 to 200 persons, many of them youths
of 18 or 19 years of age, marched in a body tram Lambeth
Workhouse to this court, and pre.ented a document, of which
the following is a copy, to the sitting magistrate :
"January 26,1057.
" Sir,—l am delegated to the onerous duty of emidupetZ
pombly a number of destitute working teen to the
or such used relief as the law allows ; and having dune so
and been /envied, I now appeal to you to direct me in the
course 1 shall pursue, as I am answerable to the committee
of the unemployed recently met in Smithfield for implicit
obedience to your orders.-1 am, PiT, your obedient servant,
"CHARLES FLETCHER.

" To the Magistrate of the district of Lambeth."
Mr. Elliott, en reading the document, desired that one,
two, or half-a-down of the parties who might be selected by
thole of the crowd as their advocates or ilskeemen might be
admitted, and in *few minutes a deputation of three made
their appearance in the court.
One of dem, Charles Fletcher, who described himaelf as a
Jennie ter, but who was much better dressed tam
the et warm= of that clue, entered the willow-
bottom& the maglitrate,said that, agreeably.e the

Mr. Elliott observed that no doubt it was the duty of the
pariah officers to afford such relief to them and their familia
as the emergency of their cam required, but ouch relief west
be subject to the rules and regulations of the board of goer-
diens, which rules and regulations he had not the power to
&her. . Ile would, however, send an officer with them to the
workhouse to request that relief be afforded them.
Fletcher here said that the required relief had been afforded
to the applicants at Clerkenwell and other perishes.
Mr. Elliott here directed Coma, 106 L, one of the warrant
Ahem, to accompany the applicants and the party to Lam-
beth workhouse, and to request the relieving officer to take
down the names of the applicants, and give them such tem-
pers relief as the necessities of themselves and their
families required, until they could attend the board and bays '
their respective cases inquired into and properly attended to.
Costa at once obeyed the magietrate's directions, anion his
return in about three-quarters of an hour, informed Mr.
Elliott that, on reaching the wenhoune, he found that the
board of gmenthens wore then outing, and be at once pro-
ceeded to the board-room, and informed the chairman end
the members of the board of the message he had been sent
with by his wortddp. The board at once consented to hear
the application or complaint of a deputation of the workmen,
as they represented themeelvee, and be (Casa) took a message
lathe parties to that effect, but they one and all declined. Mr.
Janet, one of the relieving officers, also offered the parties,
in his preeenee, tickets for labour in the workhouse, for which
labour they would have been paid according to their neema-
tin and the number of their families, but they refused to
*event them, and marched off in a body.
Mr. Elliott observed that he was not surprised or disap-
pointed at the result, believing, as he did, that the object of
the parties was more display, than actual want or • desire to
salt parochial assistance.

Dariel Angelo Zi;:f;;;I: if yeers---Oi;ge, servant to Mr.
Sampson lledgkinson, residing at lot Acton, was charged
with rubbing his master of a quantity of plate.
