eb =roe Mr. Clough :We are ready with the case, if ti
w .rship plea ea to hear it. The nugistrates (Messrs
an,l D'v'n) deci4ed en hearing the case. Af e-
lan opening seatement by Mr. Cloneh, he called the f.-1-
in vine conesse., who sta ed the facts :—Mary Gorden
said, I ern rrvent to Mr. Lawrence twister botcher, who
r Wes le Ilenehtnr-itreet. There is a passage at
r ar of the bone:. caltst Himehinn-lene, and the hack door
nr the' nice leads into the passage. Y sterday (Theirs-fay)
ahon hilt...east three, I was going to empty tome diny
water that 1 h wished in, when I saw the prisoner in the
pissege, with two girls about ten year. of age; he was
sneaking and ac•ine in the moat abominable manner with
the children. when I said "Ym nasty beast, be off not of
This, or I will call an effi-er," when he turned round and
g.ve me a viol nt hl .w on the roreheed, which nearly felled
me to the greend and stunned me. I then flung the dir'y
water on him, and he made a furious rush at me, but I g
away, or I fear he wool ! have killed me, as he seemed like
a wild beat. He then went awls. but came back in about
half en hour with an officer, an I gene ma in charge for
gte ling a pocket hook nut of his pocket, although I never
Ihi my hands near him. I was taken to the pence-
office, i' ile.street, when Mr.Olniogh investigated the cos ,
het refeie Ito take the charge. Mr. Clough said this was
what lei to the ',rest of the pristine.. When I investigated
the c•se, I saw at once, by the urisoner's own showing,
that i• was a false charge, and I then taade some inquiry
ahetit him, and I found he had swindled Mrs. Mlle, and,
on leokine at several reports from the country police, I
h ye no doubt he has been eniity of ronsiderable swindling
throughout the country. Elizabeth Mackler, and another
reeneetable married woman, said they were lookink nut of
Vie r respective widows, which camma ids a full view of
the passage in ive-stien, and had their attention drawn to
the prisoner's C nduet will the children. They were about
to proceed to the as istanco of the children, when
they saw Mary G'r'len come out of the door into the
nessaee, with the b ;eket of water They could not hear
what easeed, 'out they most distinetly saw the prisoner
strike the lei!1 a violent blow on the forehead, and then she
Anne the water over Lim. He went. away, and both swore
in the meet positive and clear manlier, that wben he was
going noun the passage they s w him take the pocket-
book (which he afterwards charged the complainant with
stealing) mit of the p elect of his topcoat—which he wore
then, and in the th•ck —and put it in an inside
cams-make% They saw no more of him, until he
came hack with the offlier and gave her in charge
for stealing the same book. The ;witnesses were subject
to a smart cross-examination by M-. B ue,k, bet they
never swerved from their original statement. Mr Black
'then made al able eddrese for his client, end strongly
renudia•ed the insinuetion about the children, and
wondered why the p iltee di'! not bring them forward.
The officers knew if they brought the girls
forward, that they would falsify the statement: Mr.
Clough said the reason why the girls were not
there, was very simple. They co ild not be found, although
every ex -rtion was made to get there. Mr. Bluek con-
tended that his &lent was actuated by benevolent motives
towards the children, and tha' he was the gentleman he
really" represented himself to be, end that he was quite
incapable of acting imeroperlv. The naigistrates con-
sulted and Mr. Mansfield sentenced the prisoner to pay a
fine of £5, or in default to ha imnrisoncd for three months
and kept to hard labour. Mr. Hartmann said there were
many impostors at present in England, and the public
should be en their guard. A. copy of the fallowing
circular had been sent by the society to several places :
" It having come to the knowledge of this society, that
several undeserving foreign mendicants apply to gentlemen
at their offices and private houses, and obtain money under
false pretences, it is pareiculariy requested that no relief
be granted to any app joints, hat that they may be referred
to the society, in order to prevent impasition."
He said if benevo'ent persona who were anxious to relieve
really desti'n'e foreigners would be good enough to make
inquiry of the society, it wonld prevent their being im-
posed on. (It. is to be hoped this hint will be taken.)
EXCHANGE NO lonnzar."—Michael Dunne, an Irish
cattle dealer, charged Rowan Owens (en Englishman)
a brother dealer, with having stolen a cow,- his
property. It appeared that the parties brought
cattle over from Dublin on Thursday night.
The " beasts," as the men called the cattle, we -e left at a
shed in the Clarence dock until " cleared," but before
the complainant had time to take • his beasts away, the
prisoner event and 0 cleared" his, but made a trifling
mistake, by taking one of complainant's cows instated of
one of his own, the vane being £3 in the difference of
price, and it is needless to say that Mr. Owens made the
mistake en his own behalf, taking the best " beast" in the
lot. He drove the cow to a slaughter house in Peter-
street, where she was slaughtered, and complainant went
there to leek for the poor Creature, and he added, with
unaffected simplicity, " be goy I was nearly slaughtered
myself as well as the cow, and only I got away I'd 'eve
been kilt body and bones." .This bit of naivete caused
ranch 1 iughter. The peter fellow con'inuect —"And what
do ye think, now, yer worship? why, faix, he has the
two cows, his own alive and mine dead ; and the sorra
taste o' one or Mother he'll give me ' (More laughter.)
" An'then ho gave me a couple of berse in the jowl o'
the neck that nearly bent my windpipe !" The prisoner
said--" Just look at me ; ditlint you steal a lamb of mine
the other day, and di l'nt I get it in your custody in Gill-
street market ?'' Witness : " Why, yes, I admit that,
but it was in a mistake. Prisoner: " Welinthen, exchange
is no robbery ; I only done the same to your cow, as you
did to my lamb. ilia wo-ship said he could not deal with
the ease of stealing, bat he fined the prisoner Se. for the
assault. The complainant cried in a loud voice--Your
worship, he leas the two cows now—what I'l I do at all
at all? Mr. Clough : Bring an' action in the County
Court against him. Mr. Dunne, applied the four fingers
of his right hand with wonderful energy and quickness
to the top of his head, and left the box crying to the
prisoner, " Oh, you murderin' thief o' the world."
Anne Feaneb, a fine-looking girl, dressed is a very
primetive style, was sent for trial for having robbed a
person named Robert Chanabera, descrihei as a high?"

MIL HARDY'S BEER BILL AND THR LICENSING c',YSTEM.—
A circular h is been transmitted to the Licensed Victuallers'
Societies in Lancashire by Mr. Candelet, who is nrw in
London, commissioned to watch the progress of Mr.
Hardy's bill, in which it is stated that Mr. Hardy's Beer
Bill, now bef tre the House of Commons, still eoniinnes to
excite much interest at the clubs and amongst the public
generally in the metropolis. It is thought, on a division,
its chief supporters will consist of new members, to whom
the proj-ct seems plauslble, from their limited knowledge
of the ectire subject. Besides objections arising out of
the working of the several beer acts, objections are raised
to the way in which the magistrates in many largo towns
abase the power intrusted to thorn in the granting of spirit
licenses, where public accommodatirn is not consulted s
much as party and private interest; that a huge monopoly
hes grown up under the present system, piecing the
greatest number and most valaable houses in the hands of
brewers and spirit merchants, rendering the tenants mere
agents for the sale of an inferior article ; that the magis-
trates themselves, all over the country, are owners of
public-house property. A strong feeling also prevails
against the local magistrates dictating conlisions upon
which the license is granted contrary to their legal powers.
These form but a mere outline ef the opinions elicited by
the introduction of the present Beer Bill. If it is rejected,
that will not imply that further legislation is not intended,
but that the remedy proposed is incomplete. Mr. Hardy's
bill is leading parliament to a consideration of the broad
question. We are fast approaching a period when the
whole system will undergo a reris' on, when the meals-
Crates must surrender, at least, a portion of their dis-
cretionary power, the licensed victuallers their exciusive
privilege, and the brewers their monopoly. It is strongly
argued in the lobby of the house, by gentlemen of high
standing, and possessed of great practical judgment, that
the issuing of several descriptions of public house licenses,
some with inferior privileges, increases evasion, which the
laborious efforts of police and excise cannot sump-ass.
There seems to be en honest de-ire amongst members of
parliament to consult public interest, and a 1 parties
interested will ultimately have to submit and surrender to
public opini 311.
TROUBLE AMONG THE FRIENDS IN PHIL,ADELPHIA.—The
Friend's Review of Philadelphia says :—" As the time
approaches for the Philadelphia yearly meeting again to
convene, the minds of its members and of many Friends in
other parts of our religious society are clothed with painful
anxiety; our coining together is no longer anticipated as
a means of spiritual improvement and enjoyment to indi-
viduals, nor as a period of renewed strengh and rejoicing
to the body. The great object of religious association is
far from being attained in our present confused and
disordered state; on the contrary, evidences are seen and
felt of the destructive and scattering effects of prolonged
dissention." The Friends, as is well known, are
divided into two great parties—the orthodox and the
Hickeities. The orthodox Quakers are again divided into
Wilberites and Garneyites, and to their dissensio s the
article in the Review has reference. The quarrel is of Img
standing. It arose from the preaching of Joseph John
Gurney, a distinguished English Friend, who some years
since visited this country. His doctrines were believed
by many of the society to be unsound, and to tend towards
Episcopacy. He, nevertheless, had many adherents, who
from him took the name of Garneyites ; and the
dissensions between the too parties, considering the
peaceful professions of the partisans, have been loud and
violent. There is, however, a Gurnetite yearly meeting
in Ohio, with Benjamin Hoyle as its clerk, which has been
cast out of the brotherhood by all Orthodox Quakerdom,
except the Philadelphia yearly meeting, which, it appears,
has recoenised it as sound in the faith, by corresponding
with it. In 1855, and again, on deliberate re-consideration,
in 1856, North Carolina yearly meeting " united in the
belief, that, while Philadelphia yearly meeting continues to
correspond with that body in Ohio, of which Benjamin
Hoyle is clerk, we cannot consistently hold further episto-
lary correspondence with them." The yearly meetings of
New York, Baltimore, and Indiana, have adopted a similar
conclusion ; so that no epistle will be offered to our next
yearly meeting from any regularly acknowledged yearly
meeting in this country.
