7111;ie.:1101 the prisoeste stated that h_selac &WWI for
admittance and being refused, they were deterselmsd to have
a night's lodging somewhere. 1 hey thecae* bream the
glade beams they were cure of the police providing thane
with what the pariah authorities refund. Havel added
that he had been ordered to leave the house ea Monday Yak
and to go atone-breaking. He had done so, but dining
that he could not do the work he told Mr. Hirehntere, the
relieving overseer, so, when that gentleman told him to get •
medical certificate to that effect. He went to Dr. Wlldbere,
and having been by him examined, that gentleman nee
him a certificate that he was unable to do the work allotted
to him, in consequence of an accithint, and recommended Ma
indent edminion ; but when he applied at the gate be via
peremptorily rebind.
Mr. Tyrwhiu wee Idiom the certificate, which was u the
defendant bad 'rend, and also • diccharge frees the mew,
which set forth that be (Hanel) had formerly base in the
Rite Brigade for scion years; that he had bought Hemel(
out for the purpose of joining the But India Company's nee
vice, where be oared with great credit for 11 yens, and wee
thez discharged.
Mr. Clarke mid he should have been at the bows begone 4
o'clock, which he could have done if be pleased, and ma
IS ;ids*.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said that made no didween. On every
principle ofjustioe and bonny the men should have bees
admitted. He was afraid that at St. Pancras there we
strong disposition on every occadon to worry the applieeL
for relief, and to do all that could be done to wrong the pcm.
It was plain that the man made application in the morning,
and that the sending him to the surgeon's was only one way
of putting him off. Arun he gets the paper he applies at
the workhouse, and bang than refused, breaks the awew
end was locked up. Such waded was shameful, and cm,
a stigma on the administration of the Poor-law. It
was a good and necessary thtng that there was a watch-
ful public to look after muck cases. They were a dia-
gram to the ooeunry, and he did not know what foreign ma.
tries would think of the treatment of our old soldiers. The
way in which the poor were treated algae drove them to tem.
mit all manner of mimes. It was too hunk by half to treat
them in ouch • way. The ofticiala seemed to make no
distinction as to the sass that came before them. Re
should be obliged to order than to pay the damage, or to seed
them to the lianas of Correction, which he much regretted.
He should make a distinction in the cams. He that ordered
the damage to be paid, or in default to be imprisoned, Maui
for four days, and the other for men days.
A gentleman to court said he would pay the soldier's half,
as he thought the way he had been nested was shameful.
Mr. Tyrwkitt said he had nothing more to do with the
matter, but it v.-minty must be lia/meting to every rate-
payer to see their money handled in each a way.
The defendants, not having the money, IFICS locked up.

Theatre, wee charged with committing an assault on the

nery fora new piece called India, or the Foil of Iklhi, and

Shepherd came up at the time, and perceiviag the damage,
he become very much enraged, and after calling complainant
a liar, struck him on the nose, causing the blood to Sow for
some momenta.

been settled out of doors, as it would have been much better
for both parties. He fined Mr. Shepherd 20e., and 2a. costs,
