THE DRAPERS' ASSOCIATION FOR EARLY CLOS-
ING—.COERCION OE THE EMPLOICERS.-Mr. King-
ston, a draper in an extensive way of business in the
Bridge-road, Lambeth, applied to Mr. Norton for his
advice and assistance under the following circum-
stances :

Mr. Kingston stated that a deputation from the
Drapers' Early Closing Association had waited on
him to obtain his sanction to close his shop at eight
o'clock on and after the Ist of the present month,
when, for reasons which he urged, he refused to com-
ply with their request, or to give any pledge on the
subject. The consequence was that on the night be-
fore, about nine o'clock, when his man was about to
put up his shutters, a piece of glass, to replace which
would cost him from 271. to 28/., was smashed by a
piece of stone flung at it. 0,1 that morning, while in
conversation with Mr. Coates, the partner of Mr.
Atkinson, a neighbour and brother tradesr,ian, he,
Mr. Coates, informed him that on the night before,
and prior to the destruction of his property, Mr.
Henry Acutt, who was also a brother tradesman and
neighbour, had made use of the expression, " I un-
derstand they are going to serve Mr. Kings on out."
He (Mr. Kingston) thinking this somewhat extraor-
dinary, had that morning waited on Mr. H.
Acutt to ask some explanation for the use of
such an expression just preceding the act ; but
though he adtnittel having used the expression,
he declined giving any explanation. He (Mr.
Kingston) then requested he would attend before
nis Worship at this court, to give some explanation
of the affair, and to state his reason for having
used the expression before mentioned. He, however,
made some excuse for not corning, and he (Mr. King-
ston) wished to take his Worship's advice as to what,
under the circumstances, he should do, or what steps
he should take to bring the parties who had so se-
riously injured his property, and who he hai no doubt
whatever belonged to the Early Closing Association,
to justice.
_ _ _

Mr. NORTON observed that he could hardly sup-
pose for one moment that a tradesman with any pre-
tension to character and respectability would sanction
such an outrage as that committed. At the same time
he felt bound to say that it was the duty of Air. Acutt
not only to give every explanation for the use of the
very significant expressions he had uttered, but to give
every assistance in his power in bring to justice the
party guilty of the outrage on the applicant's property.
The worthy Magistrate then directed Redford, one of
the summoning officers of the Court, to go to Mr.
Acutt and request his attendance. Mr. Acutt attended,
and expressed himself with some warmth at the charge
against him. He declared he had not the slightest idea
who it was who had broken Mr. Kingston's window,
and said that what he had mentioned to Mr. Coates
was from mere conjecture, and from what he had
heard from the young men, who were no doubt very
much disappointed at Mr. Kingston's not complying
with the regulation they had in view of closing his
shop on the Ist of the present month, at eight
o'clock. With respect to the young man in his em-
ployment acting as secretary to the association, he did
not see what he, as his employer, had to do with his
private affairs, so long as he discharged his duty pro-
perly as a servant.

Mr. Kingston denied having made any charge
against Mr. Acutt. All he required was an explana-
tion of what he considered a strange coincidence.
Mr. NORTON said, that, however desirable it might
be to have all the shops closed at eight o'clock, still
such outrages as that complained of could not be
tolerated. For his (Alr. Norton's) part, he would
give every assistance in his power to repress such
acts, and he hoped Mr. Acutt would give every
information in his power to bring the guilty parties to
justice.

HAMMERSMITH.
PRISON MANIA. _Wary Minton, stated to be " 41
years of age, no home, no trade," was charged before
Mr. T. Paynter with being drunk and riotous, arid
breaking five panes of glass in a beer-shop window at
Chiswick. The offence having been proved, and also
that she had indecently pulled her clothes up while
being taken to the station, and while there Jr. Payn-
ter asked if she was known to the police,
,a,nlidnvio',46,enre

like to be out of prison, for I like the regularity of
everything there. I can't stand my liberty. I would
rather be in prison altogether, and I want to go back
again. The officers are always glad to see me, as
they know I do my work. There is not a single thing
in county work but what I can do. I can do shoe-
binding, tailoring, shirt-making, or anything else
whatever, and (rubbing her hands with intense glee)
I only want to go back again to prison."
Mr. PAINTER said if she came from Hanwell she
had probably been in the lunatic asylum, and had
been turned out, as others had been, for cured. She
must pay forty shillings fine, or go to prison for a
month.
Prisoner—There now, that's always how I am
served. I would not give a farthing for a month or
two. Here, I've now been committed nine Wen tames,

That would he worth somethinz. • _ -
She was then removed, much disappointed.

FOUR INNOCENT CONVICTS.
GRATUITY OF 401. (101. EACH TO CANT, DE1:1••
Nay, LONSDALE, AND WILLIANIS.—It Will be some
sa isfaction to the public, as well as to the four indi-
viduals concerned, to learn that the sum of 101. has
been conferred by Government upon each of the
above-named injured men, who have undergone four
years unjust of punishment. It is highly honourable
to Sir George Grey to have thus acquitted himself,
and thereby done full justice to the characters of those
injured men. Letters containing the above interest-
ing news have been forwarded to the four men, but
should they have removed, and not have received
them, it is hoped that upon seeing this announcement,
the men will, as early as convenient, write to, or wait
upon Mr. Wood, joiner, who resides at Harrison's-
buildings, Marsh-street, Groves, York, or call upon
Mr. W. Wood, animal preserver, Market Weighton,
where the necessary instructions for receiving the
gratuities will be furnished them.

FROM SIR GEORGE GREY'S SECRETARY.
(Copy.)
" Whitehall, Sept. 23, 1847.

warranted in authorising the grant of a gratuity of
101. each, to Robert Cant, John Williams, Thomai
Debney, and Marmaduke Lonsdale, the four indivi-
duals to whom you refer, and that you will receive a
communication on the subject from the officer* (J.
H. Capper, E•q.), who has been directed to pay them
that amount.--I am, Sir, your most obedient humble
servant, " DENIS LE MARCHANT.
" To Mr. Wood, joiner, Groves, York."

OPERATIVE BAKERS' SOCIETY.—On Saturday even-
ing a meeting was convened at the Three Colts Tavern.
London wall, of the members of the Operative Bakers'
Society re,ident in that district. The meeting was called
for the purpose of taking int.) consideration certain
cearees which had been made at a recent meeting of that
district branch society at. ainst the proceedings and the
efficiency of the central committee. Tee meeting was
rireer.,udy attended, and at nine o'clock Mr. Kimpton
was called to the chair. After hearing Mr. Williams,
late member of the cousinittee, at considerable length (in
support of his dissent to the proceedings of the central
committee, Messrs. Read and Sutton, who, with some
other members, attended as a deputation from that body,
entered into a defence of the course they had puraued,
proving from the minutes of their meetings, that the
central committee had been influenced by a desire to pro-
mote in the most effective manner the objects for which
the society was instituted, namely, the abolition of night
work, and the reduction of the hours of labour to twelve
hours per day, and citing, as the latest proof; the adver-
, tisement Jo that effect which had apveared in.the daily pa-
per:. of Monday and Tuesday last. The discussion having
terminated, a resolution was then moved and seconded,
and unanimously agreed to, to the effect that the expla-
nation given that evening, on behalf of the central com-
mittee, was perfectly satisfactory, and that it was entitled
to their support in promoting the objects for which the
society was instituted. A vote of thanks was passed to
the chairman, and the meeting separated.
THE ORIENTATION OF CIIURCIIES.--AS to the rule
laid down by the present authorities of the Church of
England, says Mr. T. L. Donaldson, not one-fourth of
the Roman churches have their altars at the east end;
but they are amongst the most ancient and most im-
portant of those sacred buildings. Consequently, the
observance is not a Catholic one (non ab omnibus). I
believe that the primitive Anglican. Church did, at Is
very early period, adopt this tradition ; but surely with
us the question arises, whether we are bound to this
fragment of antiquity hand and foot, at whatever cost or
convenience, or whether we may regard it, as does the
Church of Rome, in the light of a non-essential, subor-
dinate to other considerations of locality, and the
relative position with other objects. A glance at Nolles
