IMPORTANT TO OWNERS OF SMALL

HOUSES, &c

Yesterday, Messrs. Maxwell and Dickson, two of the
borough magistrates, sat in the grand jury room, Chapel-street,
to hear and determine about eighty cases of summons, brought
by the poor-rate collectors against wretched housekeepers,
chit fly in Paul-street and the adjoining localities. A history
of these cases will convey a better idea than a report of the
detai s, and it may be remarked that, as the worthy and kind
hearted magistrates decided on each case, they offered
words of sympathy to the poor defendants, but could not,
according to law, help making orders against them to pay the
amount claimed. Out of the whole of the cases, about fifty
were against poor tenants of Mr. Gardiner, who was described
by the tax collectors as a wealthy gentleman, residing in
Faulkner-street. The majority of these fifty creatures lived in
courts in Paul-street, and the adjoining localities. From the
facts elicited by their worships from the defendants, it appeared
that many of them resided in their present holdings from two
to five years, and that they paid from 2s. to ss. per week rent.
This included all taxes, and so they stated the bargain was made
at the beginning. The taxes were paid regularly by Mr.
Gardiner to the collectors, up to April, 1855, but then there
was a cessation. Several of the defendants, yesterday,, stated
that, some time since, the rent was raised on them, in order to
meet the tax, and that they submitted, but that was not the
case before. Otheis stated that, being' formerly summoned,
they took the papers to Mr. Gardiner, who told them to go and
appeal, and make a poor mouth, and get off the tax as low as
possible, and he would then pay, and this they did. Others
said, when they paid any tax they were always allowed to stop
it out of the rent, but lately ti r. Gardiner refused to pay any
tax for them, and the collectors were obliged to bring the
present summons against them. The collectors stated it was
with great reluctance that they proceeded against these very
poor people, but they could not help it, as they had
called on Mr. Gardiner several times to pay, and
at first he promised to do so, but lately he refused.
Their worships spoke in very strong terms of the hardships
under which the poor defendants laboured, and said it was
perfectly cruel to think of such treatment. However, they
(the magistrates) had no alternative, under the act of parliamen,,
but to make orders for payment against the tenants. If they hat:
the power they would make the owner of the property pay.
They advised 'each of the defendants to take the orders to Mr.
Gardiner, and see what he would do in the matter, and they
trusted that the facts would go forth to the public by means of
the press.

Gneiss ArrEmpr AT htrosniorr.—Mr. C. H. Braeebridge,
of Atherstone-hall, Warwickshire, a gentleman who is
intimately known in con.ideration of his distinguished ser-
vice, in hospitals of the East-, received the other day a letter,
purporting to be from " Lord Henley," addressed from the
Bull and Mouth Hotel, Leeds. " His lordship" stated to
Mr. Bracebridge', that John Cooper, recently an industrious
lab, urer at Atherstone, bad just died from the effects of the
bite of a mad doe. and left behind him a destitute wife and
five interesting fatherless children. Mr. liracebridge was
assured by "his lordship" that after making due enquiry,
he had found the case to be one eminently deserving relief;
and that he had been very glad to bead a subscription, for
the assistance of the widow and children, with his humble
donation of £2O. Of course the letter concluded with a
polite hint that some pecuniary assistance from Mr. Brace_
bridge would be very acceptable. A long list of donations,
assuming to be from the principal men of Leeds, was also
enclosed. Mr. Bracebriege having strong suspicions, en-
closed the document to the chief constable of Leeds, who
soon discovered that the names of Mr. Gott and Mr. Beckett
were transparent forgeries. On enquiry at the Bull and
Mouth Hotel, Mrs. Clarke produced a letter addressed to
r, the proprietor of the Bell and Mouth note],
Leeds," and
signed " Henley," in which the writer intimated that, in
consequence of a family bereavement, be was prevented from
visiting Leeds, and requesting the " landlord" to forward
any letter which might be addressed to him at the house, to
his secretary, Mr. John Hall, in a certain street in Bir-
mingham.
