MAGISTERIAL AMENITIES.

At the Norwich petty sessions, a few days ago,
William Gardieer was charged before Mr. Betts, Mr. Blake,
and other justices, with having tired a cannon in the street,
and Mr. J. W. Taylor, carpenter, was charged with having
rescued hint from the police. The cannon was bred in
honour of the marriage of Mr. Taylor's son, and Mr. Taylor,
therefore, interposed, but denied having rescued him. The
case was dismissed, when the following conversation took
place :-11r. It. W. Blake : And I should recommend
Mr. Taylor to go and consult his solicitor on the
subject at once, and bring an action for false imprisoe-
meet. Xt. Taylor : I intend to do so, and had I beep
deed oily a shilling, I should have appealed. Mr. J. Bette
(who was in the chair) : I think it is bad taste to make
them remarks. The man might be left to take his own
anon,—Mr. Blake (after a short pause): Do you mean that
remark for me' If you do, I beg to say that I shall think
and speak as I like.— Mr. Betts : You might think as you
like, but you might keep such remarks to yourself. 1 think
it is had taste to make such remarks as you did.—Mr.
Blake : Bad taste! 1 think you show Touch worse tests in
making the observations you did. I shall my what I like
without °nothing you.—Mr. Betts : I consider myself as
respectable as you or any other man, and I think that I
have am good taste as you or any one else.—Mr. Blake : If
you had, you would not seat younelt in that chair.—
Mr. Bette : I don't consider that you, as a junior
magistrate, ban any right to make the remarks you
did. I don't want any of your insolence. —Mr. Blake:
Junior magistrate! I said, and I say again, that Mr.
Taylor would be greatly to blame if he did not take steps in
the matter.—Mr. Betts: And I say it is bad taste for you
to make Mises remarks.—Mr. Blake : You are not a judge
of that.—Mr. Setts : But lam a inle of it, and the town
is a judge of It as wall. r. Blake : The town a judge of
it—how do you know that? You can't tell what the town
thinks.—Mr. Betts : I have assn it in print a number of
time' stout you.—Mr. Blake : Pray where have you a•en it
in print? No doubt in that scurrilous paper, and perhaps
you put it there yourself.—Mr. Betts : I feel a perfect cot,-
tempt for you, and I say again it would have been much
better bad you never made the remarka.—Mr. Blake : Con-
tempt, indeed !—The matter then dropped, Mr. Blake re.
marking that police-coustalde Andrews would have shown
more discretion had be not brought the matter before the
bench.

THE BIRMINGHAM MURDER.—FrNERAL or THE
Virrin.—On Saturday the unfortunate victim of the Tan-
ter-street murder, Ann Walker, was consigned to her lad
resting-place in St. George's-churchy ad. As it became
known that the funeral was to take piece at noon, a large
number of persons collected around the house in Tauter-
street, St. George's, and all along the line of route ; but a
detachment of police was present, under the command of
Mr. Superintendent Spear, and the greatest order pee-
veiled. The body was conveyed from Tanter•street in a
hearse, and was followed by the hualaual of the deceased,
and some of her relatives. At St. George's it wan met bir
the Rev. W. Cuckin, who read the burial service, amidst
the silence of an immense assemblage, which by this time
must have numbered some thousands. The expenses of the
funeral were, we understand, defrayed by the deceased's
husband, John Walker, a glum/weaker, who resides at Man-
chester.

THE ChTALEYBIIHWE 1111:11WAY ROISHERV.—In
the /express of yestenlity there appealed au account of
the committal of an Iridimau seined Lyons for • highway
rubbery, and of the extraordinary violence with which he be-
haved when before the borough police.court at ataleybridge
ou Saturday. Joseph Norton, a powerful-looking feUow,
was charged at the same court with having assaulted
police-constable Ilinchlitfe in the execution of his duty.
The prisoner pleaded guilty. It seems that while the police
officen were endeavouring to secure Lyons, Hinchliffe had
his staff in his hand, but bail not used it, when the pri-
soner seized it, and endeavoured to take it from him,
saving the law did 'tot allow bins to use it.. The pi isomer
then pulled him away, and afterwards pushed him into the
canal ; and shortly afterwards the prisoner was pushed in.
They struggled until they got to the middle of the canal,
and then the prisoner got away, but was shortly afterwards
apprehended. The prisoner, on being charged in the usual
way, said, ” I have nothing to say ; I hail no business there;
and if I bad not had drink, I should not have been there."
mr. Milburn, the chairman, said the misault was a very seri-
ous one, and if the police were nut protected in the ex-
ecution of their duty, they would soon Lave society a cow.
plots rope of sand. The prisoner was committed few trial at
the missions. _ _
