MR. BARON CIIANNELL AND CLIFTON SUSPEN-
SION-BRIDGE. —One evening during the recent
assizes an elderly gentleman passed the toll-house on the
Clifton side of the Suspension-bridge, and put down his
penny. The bridge-keeper, seeing he wax a stranger,
inquired if ho wished for a return ticket. The gentleman,
however, took no notice of the question, but walked on
solemnly and slowly. On coming back, he was passing
through, when the toll-keeper accosted him with, " Pay
here,l
lir,ple lyasree.p".
" Pay here ! what for ? I paid before,"
as
but firmly, rep

imposition !" replied the gentleman, and
care,os
getting warmer at what he apparently• thought was tin
attempt at extortion on the part of the man, he added,
Takeon— g r
I'm a magistrate." " I can't help that, sir,"
was the answer; "my instructions aro that people pay
going and returning ; you can see the act of Parliament if
you like to look in here," pointing to the toll-house. "'Poll,
I will see the act," replied the gentleman, following the
man in. He read the act, pondered over it for awhile, then
pulled out his penny and paid it, walking off, and mutter-
ing as he did. " Nonsuited, by George !" " I see the judge
has just passed over the bridge," observed a gentleman who
came up at the moment. " Who, sir ? what ?" gasped the
toll-keeper, quite frightened to think that ho had been
bandying law with so high an authority. " Sure that was
not a judge ?" " Yes ; no less a person than Baron Chan-
nell," was the reply, and so it turned out to be, as the
keeper saw him proceeding to court next morning. Thus
the bridge proprietors may be said to have obtained an
extra-judicial decision in favour of their to and fro charge.

Mr. Farnall yesterday resumed the inquiry, into
the case of Richard Gibson and the St. Giles 's workhouse
officials. A good deal of evidence was taken in reference
not only to the treatment of Gibson, but to the general dis-
cipline of the workhouse. The inquiry was adjourned
until to-day.
A re,solution has been passed by the committee of
the Stock Exchange rescinding the rule which re-
fused the recognition of dealings in new shares be-
fore letters of allotment were issued. The resolu-
tion, however, will have to be confirmed at another
meeting.
