was charge before Mr. Tyrwhitt with behaving in a dis•
orderly manner in qde' park, by running a race with

about 20 others on a footpath in the park, and the deit.7ldan;
and some of the others took off their clothes and commences
running a race. He then went up to them, and they pu
on their clothes and walked about. . _ _

1 he Chief Clerk—What harm were they doing.
Constable—They were in the public thoroughfare, on the
footpath, and people were passing.
Mr. Tyrwhitt asked whether they ran against any one.
Constable—No, only against their own company. They
ran al.,,ut 300 yards.

The defendant said he did not think there was any harm

in doing it.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—A very odd view of the law seems to be
taken by some people here. If you (defendant) want to
run a race you had better not go on the footpaths.
The defendant was then discharged.
IMPORTANT TO TRADESMEN.—Mr. Nathan Wolff Jacob-
son, of 311, Oxford-street, appeared before Mr. Tyrwhitt to

and cart standing in front of the house above an hour, the
horse feeding from a boa, and no loading or unloading
going on. He had cautioned the defendant before. He left
a constable to notice when the horse and cart were removedt

REPRESENTATION OF LAMBETH.—A hole-and-
corner meeting of the friends of Mr. Doulton was held lest
evening at the Horns Tavern, Lambeth, to take into consi-
deration the present state of the borough arising from the
anticipated resignation of his seat in the House of Commons
by Mr. Roupell, one of the members for Lambeth. A reso-
solution
being proposed Mr. Besley
said
di in favour
tappearedt of Mr. Doultonmthatthe
meeting was a cut-
and-dry
one, for the purpose of bringing forward Mr. Doulton. He
wished to know whether that was the case. Mr. Holland
denied that he was, directly or indirectly, connected with
any one in mentioning Mr. Doulton's name. Mr. Begley
said the result had proved he was right in his first state-
ment, that that was a cut-and-dry meeting for a special
purpose. He protested against the course pursued, and
moved, as an amendment, that a committee of gentlemen be
appointed to look out for candidates. No seconder being
found for the amendment, the resolution was agreed to.
