POLICE IN

ilf A N SION-HO USE.

Mr, Lirlsdell, umbrella maker, of No. 84, C.:non-street,
was summoned by Mr. Butt, one of the ward-officers, for
having refused to pay the sum of 11. Bs. for Police-rate. ..
The complainant proved that the rate was due, and said
that the defence set up was rather an extraordinary one.
The defendant said that he considered the rate net only
most reasonable, but so smell that he would rather pay •
25 per cent. mere ; but then he should wish to be bet-
ter protected. His objection to discharge the amount
that on May la;t one of the policemen bad used a
lighter's ladder to get hold of and pull down en,umlu,i,
which he had been allowed by the ConimisSioners
Sewers to fasten as a symbol of his trade over the drne-,
and which had remained in that position, without nfinuff,
to anybody, Ethee the year 1830.
Tee I.OILD MAYOR observed that the police were ern-
powered by the Act to remove from a house anythii•i: • -
pi-ejected and obstructed the way, and his Lordshii. •
whether the umbrella formed an impediment,
Mr. Butt replied that it appeared to him to be •
pediment, as it hung nine or ten feet above the grow
The defendant said that he also objected to the rn ••.: • •
of the rate on the ground that six policemen bed, ...•
the slightest cause, entered at night the roa nn,••
and his wife slept, and dragged hirn off to :he •
house, conduct which the Recorder Lad scverniy
teed at the trial at Guildhall, but for which the price ,l
delinquent, although convicted of the assault, had of:t b€,er,
removed from the force. Both the assailant and ton
umbrella remained with Mr. Hanley the CornmisAon.:n.
and the defendant considered it rather too hard to be ellt.ed.
upon to pay the rate under such circumstances, although
be knew that there were most excellent men in the force.
Mr.. Butt said that in the latter caso the dcfecdsnt
attended to a cross indictment, in which the defendant and
the policeman were alternately complainant and defendant,
and in which each was convicted and fined the sum.of ta/.
The defendant said that he was good at following up an
enemy, and he had therefore stuck to the men who had so
grossly assaulted him and insulted his wifg.
The LORD MAYOR said he as sure that the Commi ws-
sioner would see justice done to the defendant in the case
of the umbrella upon being applied to, as well as in any
other case in which the City Police were concerned, and.
that the Jury had done justice on the occasion of islle;;.•1
aggression already.
Mr. Butt—My Lord, Mr. Linidell objects t) pay, be-
cause, as he says, his umbrella is. detained.
Mr. nobler stated that the payment of the rate wee a
distinct thing from a complaint against the police,
and advised the defendant to pay the amount era
apply to the Comnsissioner. The Sewer and Pavement
Act directed that notice should be given to the perion
whose goods were seized, in what place they were depo-
sited, and that they should be given up on payment of
penalty and expenses.
The defendant said he felt bound on principle to resist
the na7ment of the rate until his symbolical umbrella,
which he stated to be worth about 76. or Bs., should be re.
stored to him; and • ,
Loan 111IOR directed that, if he perseverea, the

usual warrant should be icsue d.

INDISTINCT VISION.—It behoves all who
value the importance of that wonderful piece of "divine mechr.
ni,m," the Eye, to adopt every means to strengthen and preserve
it, particularly when those means arc within reach, and the results
from their application are both delightful and iminectiately felt. E.
Solomons and Co., Opticians, &c., (36, Old Bond-street, and I,
Old Jewry, Cheapside), have effected an improvement in Spectacles,
for which they have secured a " patent," and the strict examina.
tion of scientific observers, as well as the all-powerful test of
trek
nal experience, have established their superiorexcellence. On their
application to impaired vision their effects are both delightful and
instantaneous, conveying at once a refreshing coolness to the
Eye, and rendering the most minute objects perfectly distine*,
either by day or candle-light ;in short, their superior powers
and f, cedom from the injurious properties of glasses, ordinarily sold,
