THE ART-UNION.

From the Art• Union of this month we extract the
following notice of the _

" SPOLIATION °ETRE STATUE OF CHARLES I. AT CHARING-
CROSS.—This interesting work of art, which has been so long
one of the chief ornaments of the metropolis, has been wil-
fully despoiled of the sword which hung from the girdle cf
the monarch. The loss was first noticed by Sir S. R. Mey-
rick, and was communicated to the Briti3h Archzealogi-
cal Association by T. Crofton Croker, Esq., and since
then to her Majesty's Commissioners. It is not
yet known by whom the robbery was ellected
or when it was done, but it is believed to have been
on the day when her Majesty visited the City. It is much
to be regretted that this interesting figure, which has sto d
so many years here unspoiled, should now be so wantonly
injured. This statue has passed through many vicissitudes;
it was made by Hubert le Socur, in 1633, and was sold by
the Parliament to John Rivet, a brazier, with strict crders to
melt it; he, however, concealed it until the restoration of
Charles 11., when it was erected in its present site. From a
notice in Fellowes's Historical Sketches of Charles L'
(1828), it appears that the sword and appendages had fallen
from the statue some years before (he does not date his
quotation). He says, they weie picked up by a man of the
name of 2loxam, at the Golden Cross, and deposited in the
care of Mr. Eyre, the trunk-maker, who apprised the Board of
Green Cloth of the circumstance.' "

We would fain hope that the loss of the sword on the
present occason is to be attributed to a similar accident
to that noticed by Fellow-es, and that the person in whose
possession it may be, will follow the excellent example
of the " man of the name of Moxarn" (all honour to his
memory), and restore them. If the loss is the result of
a robbery, it says but little for the vigilance of the Me-
tropolitan Police, who would be much better employed
in guarding our public monuments from spoliation than
in persecuting itinerant fruit venders, and preventing
them from getting an honest livelihood by the sale of their
wares.

SINGULAR CASE, AND AN IMPORTANT ONE TO EM-
PLOYERS —On Monday last, at the Borough Court, Stockport,
Mr. W Whitelegg, cotton manufacturer, was summoned by
one of his weavers, named James Bradley, fur 2s. Gd. wages
alleged to be owing to him. Mr. Mellor, the manager,
stated that the complainant had left his work without
notice. He had enlisted in the 76th Regiment, and there-
fore, according to the rules of all the mills, his wages were
furfeited.—The father of the youth said he had a certificate
from the captain of the regiment, empowering bins to
apply for the wages. The Bench thought that the
mill rules were applicable in this case.—Ar. Alderman
Andrew said he had attested the, enlistment of
Bradley, and had been applied to under the 73d section
of the Bth and 9:11 Vic., cap. 8, to make an order upon Mr.
Whitelegg for the 2s. 6d. He had accordingly made that
order; and the father had applied for the money, and had
been refased.—The clerk, referring to the Act of Parliament,
said there was a law enforcing the payment of wages due to
a recruit. It was in the last Mutiny Act, passed 24th of
April, 1845, and was as follows ;—" That it should be law-
ful for the justice before whom any recruit shall be attested,
before the expiration of the Lxin of service for which he had
been hired by his master, adjudge to such recruit
a reasonable proportion of his wages for the time be
has actually served; and the said justice shall make an
order for the payment of the amount so awarded, and in
case of neglect or refusal to pay the same within four days,
shall issue his warrant for levying the same by distress and
sale of the goods and chattels of his master." The magis-
trates expressed their surprise at the existence of so strin-
gent a law; and Mellor, the manager, said, if he had known
of that law, he would have paid the 2s. Gd. without a sum-
mons. The cleric explained that it was necessary to issue a
summons, for, on refusal, a warrant of distress would follow
for the wages, if not paid in four days from the application
and production of certificate of attestation. The 2s. 6d. and
costs was then paid forthwith.—Manchester Guardian.
