EV-EN:NG EDITION.

Mrs. Wilson—Not, by no manner of means. I owns as
the mangler's got, a pre'ty hard place on it, but then he's
only at work from six to six.

The COMMISSIONER—What I twelve hours at the mangle?
Mrs. Wilson—That's all, and he has 20 minutes for
breakfast and 20 minutes for dinner. But as I was a say-
ing I gives the driver 3s. a week more than the mangler,
because he's got a sitivation of rersponserbility, and rer-
sponsibility afore labour for high wages all the vorld ever.
The COMMISSIONER (to Jones)—Are you prepared to
swear that you agreed with the defendant for 18s. as man-
gler?
The plaintiff said he was.
" Never made sich an hagreement in all my life," said
Mrs. Wilson, passionately.
Jones--And she agreed to give me a week's notice.

" Oh, lor," cried -Mrs. Wilson, looking quite savage at
the plaintiff, "you falsifying waggerband, I never gives no
notice, and never don't want none."

The COMNIISMJNER—But that is not the custom, Mrs.
Wilson.

Mrs. Wilson—lt's my custom. I keeps 15 hands at the
tub, and never gives no warning, and never has none. If
I has a woman as I don't like, I washes my hands on her
at once. Lor, sir, only look here. Suppose I was to take
a hand as couldn't wash or iron ?—why, afore her week
was up, she'd spile me of a matter of—lor, how is it pos-
sible to tell—p'raps a whole wash of fine linen as would
come to 41. or 51.

The COMMISSIONER—But I presume that turning the
mangle does not require much skill. The lad could not
spoil that ?

" No," said Mrs. Wilson, grinning broad nonsense with
a stare.

The COMMISSIONER—Then your custom would appear
not exactly to apply to him ?
" Oh, yes, I serves 'em all alike," said the good woman.
The COMMISSIONER—I'm afraid you'll have to pay this
one.

" Pay !" exclaimed Mrs. Wilson. " Why, I'll bring
all the laundresses in London to prove as such a thing
as a week's notice wasn't never given in the trade, not
to washers, ireners, manglers, nor nobody else as belongs
to us. Why, sir, look here."
And Mrs. Wilson wanted to argufy the absurdity of
giving notice in a laundry, when
The CommissioNee stopped her, and said the case was
one for the jury.
The plaintiff was sworn to his statement, and a verdict
was at once given in his favour.
Mrs. Wilson—After this we shall have all our women
coming agin us for a week's notice. And if you (address-
ing the jury) was to know what a regular drunken set of—
The COMMISSIONER—The case is dismissed, Mrs.
Wilsonr

" Oh, for I" said the good woman, with a ponderous
sigh, as she left the Court. " But never mind," she ob-
served, shaking her head, " that there young feller owes
the chandler shop 19s, and the cobbler ss. 3d., and I'll see
as he pays both on 'GM out of this here money."

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

UNION-HALL.

THE LATE SOUTHWARK ELECTION. -- On Saturday, a
strong, robust man, dressed in the garb of a coalheaver,
entered the Court at the conclusion of the night-charges,
and, addressing the sitting Magistrate, besought his advice
under the following circumstances:—
Applicant—Your worship, I begs your pardon—l was
employed in the election over at the Town-hall the last
two days, along with a lot of other poor fellows like myself,
and we were to have five shillings a-day and a good break-
fast for our services. The first day we had a good break-
fast and was paid our five bob a-head honourably. The
second day—that was the day the candidates went to the
poll, and the voting begun, we had the breakfast, but when
we went for our five shillings each, not a mag could we git,
though we had twice as much to do the last day as we had
on the first.

MAGISTRATE—What side of the question were you on—
Whig or Tory ? Applicant—l thinks they called them
the Tories; I supported Walters, the poor man's friend;
but I thought that they would not act so shabbily as not
to pay me what they promised. If Mr. Walters know'd
it, I think for the honour of the cause he would make his
under strappers dub up the blunt.
MAGISTRATE—How were you employed during the two
days that yon speak of? Applicant—The day of nomina-
tion I backed up the Tory candidate by loud huzzaing
" Walters for ever 1" so as to drown the woices of those as
was against him, whilst the speechifying was going forrud,
and I helloed out so long and so loud that my throat has
been ever since as if it was all on fire—(Laughter)—l do
assure you.

MAGISTRATE-Then you must have had quite enough
to do?

Applicant—The day the poll was open I had to do the
same work over agin, besides keeping the way up to the
hustings clear so as to give the gemmen what wanted for
to wote room to go up, so as they should not be shoved
about bete and there.

MAGISTRATE—You appear, then, to have been well em-
ployed, and if all you say is earnest, I think that you de-
serve well of your employers, and ought to be paid for your
services on the occasion. Who did you apply to for the
last day's wages?
APPLICANT—I went to the committee-room, and saw a
lot of gemmen there together, and when I asked for the
ss. they told me to go about my business; that it was all
over with them, and that I ought to be thankful for what I
got. " Now," said applicant, " I thinks that lam intitled
to the 55., and that was the reason I comes up to ax your
worship if I could make them fork it out by any manner of
means, for the loss of the money to me is a hobject, I do
assure you.

MAGISTRATE—Perhaps the accounts are not wound up,
and then, if the money is due, you will yet get it. You
must not despair, and tell the gentlemen of the committee
the important services you performed for the unsuccessful
candidate, and they, no doubt, will act honourably
towards you.
Applicant—l'll tr 3 'em again, your Worship, at your
recommendation, and if they still refuse me, why then, blow
me, if I don't go to Mr. Walters his self, and tell him all
about it, for I don't believe he knows what has been going
forrad.—( Laughter. )
MAGISTRATE—I don't think you will be obliged to have
recourse to that alternative, if you call on the committee
again in a proper manner, and describe to them that you
neglected your work to forward the business of the election•
The applicant then made his obeisance and retired.

ICELAND AND LAPLAND.—If anything were
wanting to prove our English passion for travelling, it may be
found in the fact of an English gentleman, of rank and fortune,
publishing to the world the results of his observations, made
during " A Winter in Iceland and Lapland." The highlY
entertaining volumes, so called, by the Hon. Arthur Dillon,
deserve, and will repay, all the attention which their announce
ment excited. The more immediately curious and interesting
portions of them will of course be found among the singular
personal details of actual life which they include,—the existing
condition of manners, morals, mental cultivation, &c. But the
volumes claim a more important position in oar libraries than
those features alone would give them, since, it a very compen-
dious and convenient form, they embrace all that is known of
the east fortunes of, perhaps, the two most singular countriea
in Europe.
