duet of a policeman, and to ask the Magistrate's ad-
vice. She said that one of her boys had been
ordered that morning to go and sweep a chimney in
Ilaydoo-square, and on his ringing the bell and call-
ing out "sweep," to inform the servant of his
arrival, he was taken into custody by a policeman,
and taken to the watch-house, and she wished to
Shave the Magistrate's advice as to what she was to
do under these circumstances, for if her boys were
mot allowed to call " sweep," she would lose her
business.

Hovenden, the inspector, said, that the truth of
the case was this,—the boy had, by the account of
the policeman, been calling " 51N-cep" at five o'clock
in the morning, which was against the policeman's
orders, and also contrary to the Act of Parliament,
which strictly enjoins that " sweep'' shall not be
called before seven in the morning, nor after twelve.
As it was the first time, however, he let the boy go,
as he wished to do his duty calmly and discrirni-
natel.y, and give yvarning before he punished any body.
Mr. WALKER said, he had acted very properly,
and told the applicant she must in future endeavour
to let her boys go about without calling " sweep."
Several of the parish officers and inhabitants of
Whitechapel came to Mr. Walker and stated, that a
part of their parish called the Tenter Ground,
which was an open square to which notorious bad
characters resorted Flt night, was left entirely un-
guarded by the new police.
Inspector llovenden said, that the case should be
represented to the Commissioners, and he had no
doubt it would be remedied.
Mr. WALKER told the inspector to pay immediate
attention to it, which he said he would do.
An old respectable-looking woman applied to Mr.
WALKER for advice under the following circum-
stances :—She had a daughter at present lying dead
in Guy's Hospital. Her daughter belonged to
'Whitechapel parish, having gained a settlement there
by servitude. She had only until next Thursday to
get the body of her daughter, and the parish of
Whitechapel refused to bury her, and she \las ut-
terly unable to do so.

Smith, the beadle, said it was quite impossible
or the parish to bury the girl when they had nothing
to do with her. She was not sent into the hospital
from their parish.
The applicant was afraid that if her daughter's
body were not buried by the parish, it would not be
buried at all.

The Magistrates told the applicant that they had
no power to interfere. As to her thinking that the
body of her daughter would not be buried, it was
quite out of the question. The hospital had, no
doubt, a place dedicated for that purpose.
