THAMES.

THE LAW OF MASTER AND WORKMAN.—Mr. C. Young,
solicitor, applied on behalf of Mr. Emery, a master cooper,
in Blackwall, for a warrant to apprehend one of his jour-
neymen, who, with eight others, had abandoned their mas-
ter's service, leaving work unfinished. The matter was of
great importance to master coopers, who wore in the prac-
tice of paying their men in advance for work they con-
tracted to execute. The man against whom he applied
had been paid for making a cask, and had left the establish-
ment of his master before it was completed. Sometimes
Mr. Emery had advanced as much as ..£1 and £5 to his
workmen, relying on their honour to repay the amount by
executing work to the value of the money paid in advance.
Mr. Paget granted a warrant for the apprehension of the
workman complained of.

A FIT or DRusicEsNEss.--John Robinson Gibson, a well
dressed man, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with
being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself, on
Saturday night last, in Cannon-street-road, St. George-in-
the-East.

Samuel Rawlins, 116 11, said the prisoner was quite
helpless, and he took him to the station-house for security.
The prisoner said he met with a few friends from the
North and drank some whisky, which oTerpowered him
and rendered him senseless.

Mr. Paget—What are you ?
The Prisoner—A solicitor.
Mr. Paget—A solicitor, and drunk and incapable in a
public street ?
The prisoner—lt was a fit.

Mr. Paget—Of drunkenness. It is very disgraceful for a
man in your position and belonging to be so helplessly in-
toxicated. I shall fine you ss.
The penalty was paid.

BUNHILL-FIELDS CEMETERY.--The long pending,

and energetic action of the corporation. A sub-committee
