MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Mr. .801Aolorsiew Studer., milliner and dressmaker, of
No. 9, Bruton-street, was summoned before Mr. Knox by
Dr. Aid* the medical officer of health for St. George's,
Hanover-square, first for an infringement of the Work-
shops Act, by employing certain young women after half-
peat four o'clock on Saturday' and next, a second sum-
mons, under the Nuisances Removal Act, for having his
house so crowded as to be prejudicial to the health of the
inhabitants.

Mr. Edward Lewis appeared for the defendant, and
stated that with referenoe to the tint charge his client
wished to plead guilty.
Dr. Aide stated he had to complain on behalf of the
St. George's vestry of the defendant employing his young
women on Saturdays beyond the lawful hour, and also
of employing them on other days with only an interval
of fifty minutes for meals, instead of an hour and a half.
The defendant was convicted on the 27th ult., and there
a repetition of the offence on the 30th.
Mr. Lewis said there were circumstances in the case
which would show that the defendant had no desire
wilfully to infringe the act.. It generally happened d
the season that a vast amount of work was required bombe
done on the part of customers, and that these customers
failed to show a proper amount of consideration towards
those who wereoiauired to perform this work.
Mr. Knox with 3fr. Lewis that the ladies who
gave these were the principal offenders.
Mr. B. Lewis said Mr. Studere had • great number of
orders on hand previous to any proceedings being taken
against him, and he had not yet been able to perfect cer-
tain arrangements which, when completed, would prevent
him from infringing the law.
Mr. Knox said the act came into operation on the Ist
of January, and he thought thatin six months Mr. Studere
must have had time enough to complete his arrange-
ments. He agreed that the parties who gave
the orders were in some measure to blame,
but it appeared. to him that Mr. Studer., having
the act against hurl, had done nothing to meet the
emergency. The full amount of the penalty was only 3!.,
not a large sum for a person carrying on an extensive busi-
ness, but as he had no wish to
a/o to the full extent of
the law, he would make the sty 405., with an intima-
tion that it would be 3!. in future.
