was charged on remand before Mr. Alderman Allen with
obtaining upwards of IS/. from Mrs. Wearier, by repro-
renting that he was to pay it to Detectives Spiltle and
Foulger in order to obtain the release of her husband.
Mr. Beard, solicitor, appeared for the defence.
It will be remembered that the circumstances of the
MD, %hick were of • very peculiar eloirsetAr,
had some connection with the recant forgeries
of hale of exchange in the City. It appeared
that a person named Gerson Wistzhr was rocently
convicted at the Central Criminal Court of fabri-
cating paper of this description, and be is now lying in
Neweete awaiting sentence. While ho was under ex-
amination at the Mansion-honse Wilkover md Mr..
Wetdar, the proeecutrix, outaide the court, and told
her if the would give kin 151. he woull save
her husband from bring proeecut,d any further
by leasing the detectis.s rugai,ed in the cue, and
that he *as the uuly pei sou in the woild who
could get him Mew:sit. She told him that she had given
2/. to two men named Stover and Goldetein, and Wilk-
over thereupon told her to trust no one but himself.
She then gam him rd., and subsequently IW., having
told part of her furniture to raise the money. The pro-
secutrix, however, entertained some suspicion in regard
to the matter, and having spoken to several persona
in reference to it, some influence was brought
to bear on the prisoner, and he returned to
Mrs. Wetzler 9/. Ins., and said be had given
the remainder to Sergeant Spittle. This was denied by
Spittle, who stated that, on the contrary, he had given
the prisoner different same of money for information he
bad given in support of the prosecution against Wetrlar.

Air. Jame,' Clark, an artificial florist in an eitei-ire
way of buaineen, No. 33, Cnion-square, Islington, was
summoned before Mr. Cooke fur having a workdrup so
crowded while work is tarried ou as to be dangerous or
prejudicial to the health of those employed therein.
Yr. Ricketts, solicitor, appeared for the defendant, and
basing taken several technical objections to the prism-Nt-
h:lr, raid the defendant would plead not guilty,
Yr. Rot ert Dunham. one if the saulary inspectors,
raid he visited the premises in question on the 311th of
October, and found in one room 13 periens employed in
the manufacture of artificial flowers. The length of the
room was 13 feet, breadth 13 feet, sad height 10 feet
ecual to 2,340 feet—giving to each person employed Iso
cubic feet. 'The eupertickd feet of flooring woe 2:11, giving
to each person IN feet.
Dr. Renard raid the colic feet of air allowed to each
rer, n was not enough. There were too many persons
imploycd. In answer to Mr. Ricketts the doctor stated
thattliere was a partition in the room which did not readi
the ceiling by stout fuer feet, ar.d perhaps if that were
taken down the room would be aufament for the purposes
of the pal tire employed.
After a lons, discussion between the magistrate, Dr.
Ballard, and 3fr. Ricketts, it was agreed to remora the
yartitinn, and, if that answered the purposes interriksl,
a peso:settings were to stop.
hr. Ayked Barr! Naylor, of No. 6, St. Jamee'ssstrect.
Barnsbury-reed, was summoned for haying two work-
shops or work places nut kept in a cleanly state, and the
bent workshop so overorowded while work is carried on
as to be dangerous or prejudicial to the health of those
employed therein.
Yr. Cooke dinmiseed the summons. Ito was under the
impreeeion that deleterious matter was used in the manu-
facture of the flowers, and he wan glad to hear that such
was not the tare. Ile might state that in any cane that
a as proved before him his should inflict Ode full penalty.

Another coneervative lawyer who had a seat in
the last parliament was rejected yeeterdity, Mr. E. K.
Eantlakp, Q.C., at Colchester. It was noted as a coinci-
dence, in February, 1867, that the two brothers Kerslake
should have been returned to the House of Commons in
the same week—the Attorney-Oereral for Andover, and
hie elder brother for Colchester. Now both are out of
parliament. Mr. Rowell Gurney is the only eminent eon-
eervative lawyer who has, so far, meat in the new Rouse
of Commons.

The United States Minister has accepted an in-
vitation to dine with a number of Landon workmen, on
the evening of Saturday, the 28th instant, at At. James's-
ball. " The clan to which they belong," says Mr. John-
son, " is the same everywhere, and their sentiments and
political opinions must always be the same. Those lead
them necessarily to support governments founded on
principles of political liberty ; and it was not, therefore,
at all surprising that those in Ragland desired the wooer
of their friends in America in maintaining the hoe insti-
tutions of tt e United fitatee."
