BARTHOLOMEW FAIR.—LADY HOLLAND'S
Mon.—On the night before the day whereon the Lord Mayor
proclaims the fair, a riotous assemblage of persons heretofore
disturbed Smithfield and its environs, under the denomination
of " Lady Holland's mob." This multitude, composed of the
most degraded characters of the metropolis, was accustomed to
knock at the doors and ring the bells, with loud shouting and
vociferation ; and they often committed gross outrages on per-
sons and property. It has been supposed that this mob first
arose, and has been continued, in celebration of a verdict ob..
tamed by a Mr. Holland, which freed the fair from toll ; but
this is erroneous. " Lady Holland's mob may be traced so
far back as the times of the Commonwealth, when the ruling
powers made considerable efforts to suppress the fair alto-
gether ; and when it appears that the populace determined to
support what they called their " charter," under the colour of
the " Holland" interest in opposition to the civic authorities.
The scene of uproar always commenced in Cloth-fair, and
the annual custom still exists there.
In the prison for juvenile offenders at Rotterdam,
the boys confined are condemned for periods varying from six
mouths to two, three, or six years ; and one boy in the prison
has been sentenced to fifteen years' confinement.
