WORSHIP-STREET.

SABBATICAL DOINGS IN THE EAST —Mr. Smith, Cletk
to the Board of Trustees of the parish of St. Luke,
came down to the office vkith a posse of beadles, inspectors
of nuisances, and other parish potentates, to sustain sum-
monses against several parishioners for exercising their
worldly calling on the Lord's• day.
The first case called on was that of Mr. Henry *Wil-
liams, a newsvender, who was charged with having sold
copy of the Weekly Dispatch Newspaper, between the
hours of eleven and twelve o'clock on Sunday the 10th inst.
The defendant was caught ftagrante delicta by a con-
stable appointed "to exerci,,e his worldly calling" by
keeping watch for the commission of the same act on the
part of others, and who saw the defendant profanely hand
the Paper to another sinner, who paid him sixpence for
it, and carried aw 4 the ungodly publication.
In his defence, Mr. Williams admitted having sold the
Paper, but pleaded that he had no other means of sub
sistence, and if he were debarred from vending Papers on
the day on which, from the transitory nature of their ban-
tents, they were alone saleable, he would very speedily be
obliged to shut up shop on the week day as well as Sun-
day, by the ruin that would be brought upon himself and
family.
Mr. CODD said that he had no discretion in the matter,
but was bound to administer the law as he found it, and he
was reluctantly compelled to convict the defendant, who
was fined ss, and costs.

The next case was that of a poor woman named Baiste,
a small fruiterer, who, with a husband out of work and
seven children entirely dependent on her exertions, had
impiously sold a pennyworth of nuts at a quarter before
six o'clock on Sunday evening.
The deftindant, it appeared, on being first cautioned,
ent before the Board, who she said told her that if she
would keep up her shutters, and thereby preserve outward
appearances, they would not too closely scrutinize her
doings inside. This. charitable arrangement she had faith-
fully obse;-ved to the letter ; but to elude the sprit of it
she had resorted to the " ingenious device" of cutting
holes in the bottom of the said shutters, through which
her fruit was seen, to the grievous scandal of the pa,sing
saints, whose devout abstractions such a goodly array of
eteature comforts tended greatly to disorder and disturb.
The sinful sale of the pennyworth of nuts having been
proved, the defendant was asked what she had to say, upon
which the poor woman burst into tears, an 4 declared, that
for 12 years she had been struggling hard to keep her fa-
mily from the workhouse. and she thought the parish
authorities were equally uojust and cm,' in their'proceed-
logs, for at the time of her committir.g the alleged offenc,,
a crowd of hawkers were selling the very same articles round
her door unmolested and unnoticed.

Mr. Smith observed that if she had applied to the street
keeper, he would have driven them away.
Mr. CnDD—I must say, I think this is a very bard case,
and one that ought not to be proceeded with.
Mr Smith said that he considered the Board hal been
unfairly treated by the defendant, touching the before rnor,_
tioned stratag,m, anent the shutters, and he appeared very
reluctant to forego the prosecution, but at the urgent re-
commendation of Mr. Codd, he eventually consented to do
so, on the poor woman's .payin,; the cotis, which were 3a.,
and promising to "sin no more."
