of the people calling themselves Socialists. We cannot
shut our eyes to the fart, that they have been convicted
on grounds which apply with equal force to a 'eery great
number of innocent and meritorious parties. If we rightly
understand the law—(one of those precious legacies
which the reign of Unbridled Toryism has bequeathed to
later times)—every room in which a lecture is delivered,
or a discussion held, and where money is charged for ad-
mission, must he licensed by the magistrates ; or, in de.;
fault thereof, the parties concerned in receiving money,
and even those who may happen to pay for admission, are
liable to heavy pecuniary penalties. This law would,
of course, apply to all our mechanics' institutionc.
to all scientific lectures, wherever delivered, add
to an endless variety of other proceedings, wherein
the parties concerned never suspected a shadow of
illegality. Nay, the Learned Counsel who supported the
information contended, and with great plausibility, that all
parties concerned in receiving " silver at the doors" which
is frequently announced as expected when charity sermons
are preached in places of worship), and all parties contri•
buting their " silver" on such occasions, are liable to the
penalties of the Act !
If this version of the law is at all correct, we may ex-
pect an ahond,..tit harvest of informations, and other lc-
, gal proc'edings ; and it will be seen that the individu,d,
proceeded against Ott this occasion have already retaliated
the blow levelled at them be applying for summonses
agail,st the parties connected with the Victoria Gallery,
and with lectures deliverved against the Socialists by the
Rev. Robert Barker, in Carpenter's Hail, so that we shall
soon hear something more upon the subject —Manchester
