BOW-STREET.

Isabella Morris, •and James and Margaret Morris, were
put forw,rd charged, the former with stealing, and the two
latter receiving, several towels, and two glasses, the property
of Mr. Hewitt, of the Old Hummums.
Mr. Hewitt stated that Isabella iVlorris had been servant in
his house for the last twelve months, arid latterly having mis=ed
a great quantity of articles from the house, he suspected her,
ai.cl in consequence directed the police to watch her. On Wed-
nesday she went out as usual, and the witness, with the sergeant
of police, followed her, and she met her mother at the corner
of the street. They went up to them, and having good
grounds for suspicion, they proceeded to the mother's resi-
dence, where the property was found. All the prisoners were
then taken to the station, but were liberated at the request of
Mr. Hewitt, he taking his property away with him, but from
information he had since received, he gave the prisoners into
custody again this morning.

The two female prisoners were remanded till Saturday, and
the male prisoner was discharged.

CHURCH-RATES.—Yesterday Ar. Yardley, the vestry
clerk, and Mr. St:ilte3, a churchwarden, of St. Mary's,
Stoke Newington, attended before Mr. Bingham, to sus-
tain upwards of 90 summonses against householders of the
parish for non-payment of Church-rates.
The majority of the defendants were substantial and re-
spectable tradesmen, who resisted the rate upon principles,
amongst whom were numerous members of the Society of
Friends, and a few of the recusitats vl ere Dissenting Minis.
ters of different denominations,

Mr. Behan, the solicitor, whom the Friends had collec-
tively retained to defend them, intimated to the Magis-
trate that it was his intention to dispute the vaidity of the
rate elsewhere, chiefly on the ground that a portion of the
fund raised was to be applied to the liquidation of a debt
which ought to have been paid a vear ago.
Mr. Yardley admitted that it was intended to make the
rate retrospective, and they lipid the authority of the Act
of Paliament for doing so.
Mr. Bingham, after referrin r to the Act, said he in-
clined to the opinion that Mr. 'Bevan's objection was un-
tenable, and he recommended tint gentleman to take time
to reconsider the point, or to take the opinion of Counsel
upon it. •
Mr. Bevan acceded to the Magistrate's suggestion, and
it was arranged that he should attend on that day fortnight
to communicate the course be ints nded to pursue.
Mr. Cooper, a member of the Society of Friends, then
stopped forw,rd, and complained of a mis-statement in a
report of tho former proceedings , which had appeared in
set era papers. It was erroneous ly stated that the F fends,
although they refused to pay the rate in money, had
been in the habit of leaving out a
piece of plate of 801.
cient value to cover the amount. Such a statement was
entirely without foundation, and as it was calculated to
produce an impression that the Feaciety of Friends had en-
tered into a sort of collusion w rh the parish authorities,
he hoped it would be publicly c ontradicted. They re.
sited the rate from a firm crnvi tic n that it was altogeth, r
opposed to the principles laid dawn in the New Testament.
Mr. BINGHAM observed that th e erroneous ttnement
would no doubt be corrected,
A few orders were then wade upon defendants who
pleaded poverty, and to whom time; ,was allowed.
The proceedings were then adjc timed until text Thurs-
day week.
