As soon as the prisoner, who never uttered a word,
left the court, Ann Jennings addressed his worship, say-
ing that she was afraid of her life, and was sure the pri-
soner would do her some harm.
Mr. Combe told her to keep away from him, but if he
annoyed or ill-used her she should have protection.
The prisoner Lameschall is the third man who has
been charged with this murder, and discharged. The
first was Hubbard, a bricklayer, who cohabited with the
deceased at the time, and the second a soldier, who gave
himself up at Dublin three or four years ago, and was
brought to thiscourt, when it was ascertained that he
charged himself with the murder with an idea of getting
out of the army.

GUILDHALL._NEW SYSTEM OF PAWNBROKING.—
Shortly after the disposal of the night charges, a poor
woman applied to Sir R. W. Carden for a summons
against a woman of the name of Scannell, who keeps
what is termed a "leaving shop," for unlawfully detain-
ing an apron and a handkerchief.
The applicant stated that she was wanting bread on
last Sunday fortnight, and sent the articles in question
to Mrs. Scannell's leaving shop, in Black Horse-court,
and obtained an advance of sixpence upon them. At
the expiration of a fortnight she sent sixpence and a
penny to defray the expense of redeeming her property,
but Mrs. Scannell had expressed an inclination to burn
the articles rather than let her have them.
Sir R. W. Cardan asked what she sent a penny for ?
—Applicant said she did not know ; but that was the
usual charge.

Roe, the summoning officer of the court, said it was a
charge made in lieu of interest.
Sir R. NV. Carden wished to know if any ticket was
given with these pledges ?
Roe said such was never done, as the property was
generally pledged for a certain number of days, for which
a specific charge was made, and if not redeemed within
that period the keeper of the leaving shop kept the
goods.
Sir R. W. Carden inquired if there were many of these
leaving shops in the city of London ?
Inspector Shelford said, unfortunately the city was
overrun with them. He believed in his district (Moor-
lane station) there were at least from thirty to forty, and
they were the greatest difficulties the police had to con-
tend with in tracing stolen goods, as they were recep-
tacles for all kinds of property, and open at all hours
night and day, Sundays included.
Sir R. W. Carden expressed great surprise at the
existence of so many of these establishments in a place
like the city of London, and wondered, as the system
was a gross robbery on the community of pawnbrokers,
that no steps had been taken by those immediately in-
terested to suppress it. If the attention of the public
was called to these sinks of iniquity, he had no doubt
but that the subject would be brought under the con-
sideration of the Government before very long.
A summons was then granted against Mrs. Scannell.
Repeated complaints have been made at this court
against the leaving shops in the neighbourhood, but
hitherto the mode of doing business in that line has
been so cunningly contrived as to deprive the magistrate
of all power to interfere.

STRIKE OF SEAMSTRESSES, &c.—A very large numl
of seamstresses employed at the most inferior descrip-
tion of under-clothing, have at length refused to we irk
for the miserable pittance doled out to them ; fern: lie
waistcoat makers, and those employed on slop cothir
have also turned out for an advance of wages ; and t h, 3
tailors, cap makers, and others employed in the lark to, ,
exporting houses, have made a demand for an increa.3
of pay, alleging that the advance that has taken plr,ne
in the prices of bread, meat, coals, and other nece! 3sa•
ries, requires that a proportionate advance shoult I b(
made in their pay. There is scarcely a doubt that the
request will be complied with, as several shipping
houses have large orders to complete, and offers of ad.
vanced wages were made by a great number.
REPAVING OF FLEET-STREET.—Yesterday morning the
eastern end of Fleet-street, from the foot of Luclga,t-a_
hill to Salisbury-square, was closed, by order of the
Lord Mayor, for a few days, for the purprise of rel:,avinkr,
the carriage way. A large number of workmen were
busily engaged during the day, and considerable, progresr
was made in replacing the granite 'cones. All vehicles
passing to the east end proceeded along Shoe-lane,
through Stonecutteristreet, into Farringdon-street, and
thence up Ludgate-hill ; but those going westward went
through New Bridge-street, Tudor-street, Temple-street,
and Whitefriars-street, into Fleet-street. The whole of
this great and important thoroughfare is to undergo con-
siderable improvements, and will be repaved forthwith
as far as Temple-bar, by order of the City Commis-
sioners,
