tat the Justice,rootos, for the puipOsoof charging several Jews,
'who reside in Cutler-street, anct.earry on the old clothes busi-

of a penalty` of M., tleclarod that they would attend to any
directions of the ward ogicers as to the repletion of their bum-

Alder Men 'Lucas said, that as this was the first time the de-

the owners, who. after this warning, could have no excuse fur
continuiog the itractice.
