THE LOC AL BOARD AND THE MARQUIS OP SALISBURY.

there has been frequent discussions

at this Boards relative to the jurisdiction and the powers
Possessed by the noble Marquis, who is the Lord of the
Manor, relative to the enclosure of the Town's Green.
The following correspondence has taken place on the
subject, and -which will be read with interest by the ra'e-
payers of the district :

CIItRESPONDENCF, &C.,

Between the Wavertree Local Board of Health and the
Most Noble the Marquis of Salisbury, relative to the
enclosure and improvement, by the Local B.)ard of Health,
of Wavertree Green and the Lake :
Wavertree Local Board of Health.
Clayton-square, ''ad April, 1857.
Dear Sir,—l see by a report in the papers that it-has
been determined by the Board to enclose Wavertree
Green, and as this has been done without the consent of
the Lord of the Manor, it appears to me that this act will
immediately raise the question as to the legal right of the
Board to make such enclosure. If this be the real intent,
I think it would only have been fair to have intimated it
to me, and shall now be glad if you will immediately
inform me what course your clients mean to take.—l am,
dear sir, yours faithfully, GEO. WHITLEY.

. _ .

Dear Sir,-:-I beg to ackno-wledge the receipt to-iay of
your letter of yesterday's date herein, and to inform you
in reply, that in con.equenca oflhe unsightly appearance
of the Green, in consequence of person.. placing stones,
rubbish, &c., on it, and cattle going to and treading in the
sides of the Lake, and of remarks made by ratepayers of
such proceedings, the expediency of enclosing the Green
and improving the approach to the Lake was several times
under the consideration of the Board, and ultimately, at
the usual monthly meeting of the Board held on the 12th
January last, it was decided to obtain a plan and estimate
of the cost of making such improvement. This appeared
in the papers of the following day, on which day I had
occasion to call at your office. where I met Mr. ice, and
after answering some question he put to me about the
Board, I mentioned the above, when you expressed your
approval of the steps taken by the Board, and added that
it was very much wanted, and would b 3 a great improve-
ment. You will probably recollect this circumstance more
strongly when I mention that I then stated that it was the
intention of the Board to enclose it with posts and chains,
and plant trees on some parts, and that Major Bourne had
very kindly authorised me to state to the Board that he
would supply the trees, as he believed he would have suf
ficient to enable him to do so. I can assure you that in
taking these steps the Board had no intention whattver of
raising any question between them and the Lord of the
Manor; and had the Board conceived that any such
question would have arisen, they would not have taken
them without first consulting you; but they acted for the
general interest of the ratepayers and inhabitants, over a
property which, under the award, they are advised does
not belong to the Lord of the Manor. Plans and estimates
of the proposed improvements have been since obtained
and accepted, and are now, I understand, being carried
out.—l am, dear sir, yours truly,
ISAAC ATIIERTON, Law Clerk.
Geo. Whitley, Esq., Solicitor.

Wavertree Local Board of Health, Wavertree-green.
Clayton-square, 6th April, 1837.
Dear Sir,—ln answer to your letter of the 3rd instant,
received on Saturday last, I have to state that I perfectly
recollect Mr. Lea and myself having a private conversation
with you in this office, regarding the enclosure of the Green,
in which it was admitted that such enclosure would be a
great improvement to the appearance of the village, but
you are not, therefore, to assume that I expressed my
approval of the steps taken by the Board, from which an
inference might be drawn that I, on behalf .of the Lord of
the Manor, assented to their proceedings. Allow me,- in
the strongest terms, to disclaim any such interpretation
being put on my words. You Vk ill, lam sure, also bear in
mind, that both Mr. Lea and myself distinctly stated that
the Lord of the Manor would require, if such enclosure
was persisted in, a recog iition of his rights to the land in
question. I must also repeat, that I think it would have
been more courteous if the Board hal, in the first instance,
sent a copy of their resolution to Lord Salisbury. His
lordship will he down here in a few days, and I will then
report the circumstances to him, and take his further
directions.—l am, dear sir, yours truly,
Isaac Atherton, Esq., Law Clerk.

At a meeting of the Wavertree Local Board of Health,
held on the 13th day of April, 1857, the correspondence
between the Law Clerk and Mr. Whitley, acting on behalf
of the Marquis of Salisbury, was read, whereupon it was
Reiolved,—That in the steps which have been taken by
the Wavertree Local Board of Health towards the enclo •
sure of the Green, the Board of Health have had only in
view the public health of the v,lla,e and the benefit of the
inhatAtants, and had no desire byt the enclosure to abro-
gate any claims or rights to which the Marquis of Salis-
bury as Lord of the Manor may be by law entitled, and
hereby declare that any such improvements shall be
without prejudice to the rights of either party, being as
they conceive for the benefit of all. That with reference
to the improvements of the Lake, they are simply for the
purpose of purifying the water, which is becoming foul and
injurious to health by nuisances which cannot in its pre-
sent state be prevented, and that a copy of this resolution
be forwarded to Mr. Whitley, on behalf of the Marquis of
Salisbury.

Clayton-square, Liverpool, 14th April, 1857.
Sir, —My attention has been called to the encroachment
made upon my rights as Lord of the Manor of Wavertree, by
the plantation round the Station House, on Wavertree Green.
I understand that this has been done under the authority
of the Board of Health for that locality. I therefore
address you as their clerk, and request you to state to the
Board, that however painful it is to me to place myself in
opposition to their wishes, I cannot consent to an invasion
of my undoubted rights, for the farther extension of which
this case would be pleaded as a precedent. I must there-
fore, without any wish to act discourteously towards them,
declare my intention, if the Board does not at their next
meeting pass a resolution fully acknowledging my right
and requesting my consent that the trees should remain, to
order the trees to be removed.—l remain, your obedient
COY
humble servant, GASNE

To Isaac Atherton, Esq , Law Clerk.

Prince's-buildings, 30, North John-street,
Liverpool, 16th April, 18,57.
My Lord, —I am directed by the Wavertreo. Local Board
of Health, to forward to your lordship the accompanying
copy of resolutions passed at a meeting of this Board, hold
this day, in reply to your lordship's leuen of the 14th inst.,
addressed to me.— I am, my lord, your lordship's most
obedient servant, ISAAC MILERTCN, Law Clsrk.
To the Most Noble the Marquis, of Salisbury.

At an adjourned meeting of the Wavertree Local Board
of Health, held on the 10th April, 1857, it WAS
Resolved unanimously, " That the law clerk do reply to
the Marquis of Salisbury's letter, and to inform him that
this Board cannot aoknowlege that he has any right to
Wnertree Green or the Lake, and consequently cannot
request his consent to tha trees which have been recently
planted on the Green, remaining, and very much regret
that he sh,,uld be a r,arty to prevent so great an improve-
ment to that loca1;4."
Resolved unv_iimously, " That with the view of settling
the question P.s to what are his Lordship's rights as Lord of
the Manor, without unnecessary lit,gation and as inexpen-
sively v..id expeditiously as possible, that it be submitted to
the P ourt of Queen's Bench on a special case, to be agreed
on by his Lordsaip's legal adviser and the law clerk to this
Board."

Extracted from the proceediuts.
ISAAC ATHERTON, Law Clerk.

Sir,— I am fav ured with your letter enclosing the reso-
lutions p‘ssed at the Board of Health of Wavertrae last
night. The first of these resolutions denies my right to
Wavertree Green and the Like ; probably the Board may

have some reasons to offer for that denial with which I atm-
unacquainted. The resolution proceeds to reg:et that I
should be a party to prevent so great an improvement to
that locality. I may entertain considerable doubt whether
the whole of the projected alterations of the Board would
be -improvements, but as far as they have at present
proceeded I have expressed my willingness to assume that
they would be improvements, and to give my consent, if
the encroachments upon my rights were admitted. The
sceond resolution requests me to submit a speci d case
upon my rights to the Court of Queen's Bench. I need
hardly say such a proposal must meet with my unqualified
rejection. Its acceptance would lead to the infere..ce that
if any person took a fancy to my house at Childwall, he
might equally request me to bring my title to it into dis-
cussion. Under the present decision of the Board, I can
onl:r proceed to exercise my rights and leave them to their
legal remedy.----I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant,
GA SCPYNX SALISBURY.
Clayton-square, Liverpool, 17th April, 1837.
Isaac Atherton, Esq , Law Clerk.

At a meeting of the Wavertree Local Board of ffeslth,
held on the 12th day of June, 1857 it was unanimously
Resol7ed, " That, it having been reported to this Board
that the Marquis of Salisbury had directed the trees recently
planted by this Board on Wavertree Green to be cut down,
this Board very much regrets that the Marquis should
have taken such a step, and thereby prevented a great
public improvement ; and while this Board is desirous of
preventing the ratepayers being involved in expensive
litigation on a subject of snob trifling value to the Marquis,
it denies the ownership or right of the Marquis to the
Green and Lake, and the fact of no proccelings being com-
menced against him for having done so, is no admission of
his right ; and that a copy of this resolution be sent to
him."

The other business of the Board was purely of a
routine character, and Possessed not the slightest pablie

interest.

The operations continued for five months at the Lund.
hill colliery has now been closed, so far as regards the
search for the bodies of those killed. The number found
has been 182, cleaving only seven unaccounted for, Up-
wards 2CO men are now ernploped there, coal-getting
but :the we of naked lights and blasting with gun-
powder have been prohibited. During the five months
not a single accident has occurred in operations fraught
with danger.

TIIE LATE DEBATE AND Tr= CITY OF LONDON.—It may
be remembered that at the last election Baron Rothschild
publicly declared his intention to resign his seat (on which
he cannot sit) for London, in case the Bill enabling his
brethren to become members of the House of Commons
was again thrown out in the Lords. It is said that, in the
event of the Baron's doing so, Mr. Raikes Currie, the
" young man from Northampton," is prepared to come
forward as a candidate, at the request of a numerous
body of the electors.
FURTHER. REINFIJECENIFNTS FJR INDIA --It LS stated in
military cit c'es, that in c)nsequ,mce of the unsatisfactcry
intellience received by the government on Saturday, from
India, it is intended to despatch, in aldition to those
troops already under orders, one regiment of cavalry (7th
Hussars), 700 strong, three regiments of infantry, of 1,000
min each, I,boo recruits from the 1:1••ovisional batt Ilion at
Chala am, to join the service companies of their reliect;ve
regiments, and 800 men from the East India Company's
Depot, at Worley Barr,cks, Ess:'s ; making a total of 5,500
men. Tonnage will be in readiness for their emveyauce by
the 30th inst.

Ttas 110 P DUTIES.—On Saturday a deputation of the
hop planters affected by the failure of the Hastings Old
Bank, waited upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer, at
Downing-s'reet, for an adjournment of the collection
of the Excise Bury for three months. The deputation
was introduced by Mr. D ids )n, M.P., who was accom-
panied by Mr. Frewen, late member for East Sussex.
Mr. F. Webster stated the position in which the failure
of the Old Bank hae placed the hop planters is the
Rape of Hating,. During the last two years the
growers in Sussex had sold at a loss, and now at least
four-fifths of them were involved by the failure
of this bank. Great distress prevailed, and many of the
largest growers had been compelled to discharge all their
workpeep!e. In addition to the accommo:'.ation which
the bank had hitherto afforded most of them, they had
now list all they pos,essed. In answer to the Chancellor
of the Exch Tier, Mr. Webster said the batik was
expected to pay lOs in the pound, but this was v‘ry
uncertain. The Chancellor of the Exchequer said he
would inquire into all the eircumstayees, and 'et them
know in dae time, as the present duty was payable on the
18th inst.

THE IMPORTATION OF NEGROVI FROM AFRICA.—Tt
appears, from an article in the Charleston Mercury, that
the pro-slavery party in the sou here states of America are
already looking to the proposed importation of African
negroes into the French and English West India colonies
as an example which the American slaveholdars may take
advantage of, to evade the existing prohibition e.f the slave
trade. The Mercury supposes that " Emigrants from
Africa may jest as legitimately be brought into the United
Sta'es as emigrants fum Germany or Ireland. Nor wi'l
the circumstance of an agreement be'rng previously made
for en ployment and wages at all affect the legality
of the importation. Hundreds—thousands are being
imported daily from Eur )pe, under. agraemonts with
the manufac urers of New Englaud, to carry on
th it factories. If the Government of the United
Stntes shall, therefore, determine. that the importa-
ti,,n of negroes from the African coast, by England
ard Fiance, as emigrants into the West Inidia Islands, is
not the African slate trade, then the whole trade of bring-
ing negroes from Africa is also open to the southern
states." What does the Mercury aim at? It is, in feet,
nothing less than African slaves that it would convert the
emigrants into the moment they toutch American soil.
Here is a new interpretation c f the principle of state
sovcroignty :—" What becomes of the negroes after they
are imported into a state will be eta affair of the state.
The general government can have nothing to do with it.
The enforcement of any contract for wages will be entirely
within the jurisdiction of the niurts of the state'. And if
public opinion, or the real understanding of the emigrants,
establishes practically that tiny shall be slaves, there is no
redress by any other authority than that of the states in
which they are located."
THE COMING HART EST, —lt is stated that in the more
forward districts in the south, of England wheat cutting
is expected to commence about next Monday week, should
the weather continue propitious. It is noticed as a fa-
vourable sign that little has been heard of the potato
blight, which was recently reported to have made its ap-
poarance in the south of Ireland.

BETTING TRANSACTIONS—At the Guildhall, on Saturday,
Sir R. Carden, in reference to souse betting circulars which
he had made public a few days ago, read a letter which he
had received from Messrs. Howard and Clinton, denying that
any such circular, had ever bees issued by them, or that they
bad any subscriber at Bristol; consequently they denied the
truth of the assertions put forward in the letters published at
the desire of the magistrate. Sir R. Carden said that, un-
fortunately for Messrs. Howard and Clinton's denial, he
had received other letters respecting, this affair. Mr.
Joenson, of Bristol, had sent bins two more circulars,
which he had just received. The first one was headed,
" Messrs. Howard and Clinton to Subscribers," under
which waa, the following :—" Newmarket July Meeting,
Tuesday, July 7,—The July. Stakes: Greenfinch.
Wednesiday Tho Midsummer. Stakes : Comquot.
Thuraday—The Chesterfield Stakes : Harry Stan..
ley," and so on with respect to various other
races. Under which came—" Commissions executed
free of. charge except the usual per tentage on
1. winnings—July 6th, 18527 H. and C." The sccmd cir-
cular was addressed to subscribers, aed signed " H. and C."
It stated that the information of the writers respecting the
events mentioned in their, accompanying circular was of
the most positive and satisfactory nature—not leaving
a doubt as to the result, and requesting ibeir sub-
scribers to remit at the earliest moment the amount they
wished to invest. They were recommended to invest
liberally, as the odds would be very good. Post-office
orders payable to. Harry Howard, Post-';dice, Coventry-
street, Soh.). Bank notes maybe sent by letter with per-
feet security." Sir R. Carden said he h-ti ai.so leceived a
letter from, Messrs, Ridsdale and Walley, enclosing
circular similar to the last, and addressed to a clerk of
theirs, who had been dismissed for embtzzlemetat. Sir R.
Carden said he was very much surprised that any young
man should be found so simple as to be deluded by such a
palpable attempt at fraud, which was evident upon the very
face of the circulars. These betting establishments were
most pernicious in their effects, as they bat toa often led
to the ruin of the inexperienced, who were first induced to
risk their own money, and then that of their employers
until incarcerationor an ignominious end terminated
their career, which, under other circumstances,
might have been prosperous and creditable. It
had been stated in the appeal of Merry
against a conviction for keeping a betting house
that daring the short period of ten months as much as
£1,500 had been paid into the Union Bank by him, and he
had only drawn out .£BOO. This would show the frightful
I clatent to Wil.tch that C 1383 of society was plitud,!red!

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—YinzwAy.

LIVERPOOL.
BEFORE ME. ALDERMAN DOLME.

A RICH BRTGOAR. NON TO THE PUBLIC.*A. man
named John Rorke, a!ias Walsh, a well-known beggar,
was brought up by Kennedy the mendicity officer, on a
charge of begging in Price-street. There was a sum of
gs. 4d. found on the prisons, and the following letter,
which speaks for itself. It shows he is a man of property.
The case should prove a caution to the public not to give
alms in the streets :—" Malbrane, June 13, 1857.—Dear
Father,—l received your letter yesterday, which gave
us all great please e, fm we were sure we never
would see or hear from you—tharlas be given to
God, that i 4 not the case. I wrote three times to
Thomas Eagney's house to let me know whether you were
dead or nor, and got no answer, I mean to inform you that
the heifer is at Lidon's. I hope Margaret Cuson is sure
to pay the money. I mean to inform you that I sold the
pig and paid Lyons and the servant boy. Pigs were very
slack at the time. I had not her sold for five days when .1
would get another pound for her. I mean to inform you
that the field I set to Freeman, he gave it up at May. I
-burned and sowed it myself. I sold the dry caw for
£4 10s. I intended to make of her a backward springer,
that would pay the grass. If you would be pleased. there-
fore, I bought nothing for her until the. fair of Kilkelly
until I hear from you .gain. If you consider to send the
money, I will convertit to the best use. I am intended to buy
a pair of pigs, small or large, as you would advise me, and
give the remainder to Sim Marks at four shillings in the £1
(conzheen) interest, as I think that would be the best way
to convert it. If you consider to make it payable at
Ballyhannis, as the people is going next week to England
I mean to let you know that Maria is very near out of
prison, and if you like to give her any, you will name it,
as you will have no blame to me, for if you send your
earning, I will put it to the best use I can, and I hope it
will serve, as you are in the decline of life. I do intend
not to shotten out one penny. I inform we have as fine a
crop as ever you saw the land to produce. I mean a few
pounds of your money, the profit of it, I will pay my rent,
that is, I mean to Lay a pair of pigs and keep them until
Christmas. I am, your loving son, SYR PH EN WALSH."
The alderman said there was no doubt the prisoner hat a
nice property in Ireland, and done good business in the
begging line. He trusted the publication of the letter
would be a warning to the public. He was sorry he could
not send him to gaol for six months, but he would send him
to gaol for one month, with hard labour,
CHARGE or EMEEZZLIM &RT.—Robert Higgins, who lives
at :33 Kitchen-street, a collector, attached to the Saint
Patrick's Assuranee and Burial Society, was brought up,
charged with embeazing £5 5s 2d belonging to the society.
Police-officer 549,stated that the prisoner was given into his
custody by Mr. John Tracey, the secretary and manager
of the society, oa the charge. Mr. Bretherton was for
the prosecution, and said he only intended to offer as much
evidence as would enable the magistrate to remand the
prisoner. He tilled Mr. Tracey, who said by the 6:h rule
of the society, the books given to the collectors were the
property of the society, and the prisoner's duty was to
attend every Thursday at the office, and scconnt for the
money he had received. On the two last Thursday's he did
not attend, and admitted to witness that he had received
the money entered in his book, but did not return it.
Some further witness& were examined, and the prisoner
was remanded.

WHAT 19 A SINPICIOI73 CHARACTER ?—Two first-class
dressed persons, about 27 years of age, named James
James and Thomas Lee, supposed to be fictitious names,
were brought np by Inspector Murphy, on a charge of
being " suspicious persons." Mr. Bluck was for the
prisoners. The inspector said between twelve and one
o'clock on Saturday, he was on duty about -the banks,
and he observed the prisoner Lee in Castle-street
and he thee went into Brunswick-street, and
loitered about Heywood's bank, but when he saw
witness watching him, he went into Castle street
again, and turned sharply round behind a gentleman
and walked along with him the same as if he were speak-
ing to him He then went into Water-street fellowed by
witness, and when he saw the latter still watching him, he
whipped into India Buildings, when the witness whipped
into Fenwick-street, where he saw him cooped up 'n a door
way where he tried to hide himself when he saw h m com-
ing. He asked him what he was doing these? and he
said he was cooling himself. (A. laugh.) The witness
said " I'll make it a hot place for you." He then locked
him up as a suspicious character from information he had
previously received He then came back and went to
Brunswick-street, where he saw the prisoner James,
who, when he saw witness, he darted into
a crowd of corn merchants and tried to get
away, but he arrested him on a like charge.
Mr. Muck : Did you see the prisoners in con-
versation with each other ? No, I did not. Did you see
them do anything'? No. Why did you arrest them
then ? From private informa ion that I received. Was
there a great number of persons about the banks ? YB3,
it was the busy hour before closing, as the banks close at
ore o'clock. Why did you pick these two gentlemen out
of the crowd—did you know anything against them ?
No, I did not, but from private information I received.
Mr. Murk : Don't mind what you heard, that's
-not evidence. Mr. Bluck contended that the prisoners
were as respectable as any gentlemen in the Court,
and the officer was not warranted in arresting them.
Inspector Kehoe said, if they were so respectabld,
they nee' not refuse to account for themselves. Mr. Bluck
said it was not neeessasy, bat still they hsd given their
addresses. He asked Mr. Murphy had they not given
their addresses ? The Inspector said, one gave his ad-
dress as London, and the other Birmingham; but where
they lived at either place they refused to tell, and I believe
they were at the places I state for the purpose of picking
pockets and committing felony. Alderman Holme : Do
you swear that ? I do so. Mr. Bluck loadle and ener-
getically exclaimed against this—as he called it —most
unconstitutional and unlawfal proceeding ; there was
nothing whatever proved against the prisoners, and he
called for their discharge. Alderman Holme asked Mr.
Murphy if he had any reasonable grounds for supposing
he could bring forward any evidence? and he replied he
had. He got £2O on one of the prisoners, and £lO on the
o her, and he was sure they ware pickpockets.
Mr. Bluck again, in very strong language, repudi-
ated the conduct of the police, and called for the discharge
of his clients, but his Worship said, although the learned
advocate bad made a superior appeal on the part of his
clients, and had exhibited his usual tact and ability in '
their defence, he would remand them, as the officer said
he would produce further evidence against them. They
were remanded accordingly.
Mons Sweets IN TRIEBLE.—TWO persons, dressed (in
police parlance) " up to the nines,'' who gave their names
as Thomas Davis and John Edwards, were brought up by
detective "officers Scaife and Thompson, charged with at-
tempting to pick pockets under the following circumstances :
—Davis was a man about forty-five years of age, of high
and aristocratic bearing—a triton amongst the dock min-
nows—and Edwards, a tall thin handsome youth, of
twenty, apparently just let loose from some boarding-
.school fer the vacstion. Unfortunately, however, for both,
they were well known to the police—at least the police
said so—for their wizard-like tricks, in reference to the
pockets of other good and loyal subjects of Queen Victoria.
The officers gat the prisoners on Sunday evening, about
seven o'clock, enjoying themselves in the new park, near
the Zoo' )gical Gardens, in the exhilirating pastime of
" trying" the pockets of the people there. It was a piece
of curiosity on the part of the prisoners that might have
eventuated in considerable profit had not the eagle eyes of
Thompson and Scaife " glowed " on them with more than
common attention. They followed them " hither and
thither," into the gardens and cut of the gardens, and at
last the officers, thinking they saw enough, resolved to
prevent the " sed literea nos a male)" any further, and
"took up" the prisoners. On the young one was found
£4 Ss 2,1, although he said he had is 31 less when asked
the amount of his finances. On Meister " Davis there
was found £l6 in gold, a five pound note, some silver, a gold
watch and chain of considerable value , a diamond rin g of much
'value and beauty, and a pin with a most brilliant and
valuable diamond set in it. Of course the °fliers said the
prisoners could not account for how they got the money
and other things, and the probability was that they would
fail to eo so. The officers, however had a strong notion
that they would be able to find some one, or more persons,
who would give a better account of the articles than the
prisoners, and therefore asked for a remand. Mr Bluck
was for the prisoners, and contended that there was no
ease made out for a remand, and addressed the court in a
long speech for his clients. His Worship complimented
Mr. Bluck on his oratory and ability, but said for all
that he would remand the prisoners. Remanded ac-
cordingly.
BEFORE MEOW . HEYWOOD AND R SHIEL.
UNMANLY A.B3ALTLT ON A LADY.-31113. John Evans, the
wife of the highly respectable tavern-keeper, Upper
Dawson-street, charged a person named Thames Davis,
described as a resident of Ithyl, Wales, with having eem.
mined an unmanly assault on her. Mr. Rymer was for the
complainant, and Mr. G iodere for the defendant. It
appeared that about ten o'clock the previous night, the
prisoner entered the house of 11. r. Evans , he Wag drunk at
the time, and stated that ha had lost £2O. lle was re-
linefeed to go out, but he refused to do so. He asked for
drink, but Mrs. Evans, who happened to be at the bar,
peremptorily refused to let him have any, and
desired him to leave; instead of doing so, he
ran round, and kicked Mrs. Evans in the most
unmanly manner. Mr. Goodere, for his client,
made a most humble apology, and admitted that his
conduct hid been very gross. He begged that the most

lenient sentence would be passe, I on him, at the same time.

Mr. Sheil said the lady and p •üblic should be protected
from such ruffianism, and inflicted a fine of .E 2 and costs
on the prisoner.
