LEGAL CLAIMS OF FIREMEN.—At Marlborough
street Police-court, on Saturday, an important question to
housekeepers was disposed of, in reference to the remunera-
tion firemen are entitled to in cases of a false alarm of fire.
Sparks were observed to escape from the chimney of the
Wyndham Clubhouse, St. James's-square, and in a short
time an engine attended, and it was for this attendance com-
pensation was demanded. In answer to the claim the
steward of the club stated that the kitchen was furnished
with a steam engine, and the draft occasioned the sparks to
fly out of the chimney; but he denied that there was any
occasion for the attendance of the brigade, as no danger was
apprehended by the inhabitants. Dir. Hardwick decided
that the firemen were entitled to compensation in conse-
quence of sparks having been seen, but he left the amount to
be decided by the parish.
THREE CHILDREN RUN OVER: Saturday after-
noon an accident occurred in the Strand, which had nearly
involved the lives of three boys. As Dr. Edlington, of
Guildford-street, Russell-square, was proceeding in his car-
riage along the Strand, and had just turned into Craven-
street, where the little fellows were running in the road, the
horses came so quickly upon them, that before they could
manage to retreat, they were knocked down and severely
trampled upon, and had it not been for the dexterity of the
driver, the wheels must inevitably have passed over them.
Assisted by a police-constable, the worthy doctor placed
them in the carriage, and at once conveyed them to Charing-
cross Hospital, where they were put to bed and properly at-
tended to by Mr. Wesley, the house surgeon. It is no more
than justice to add, that no blame whatever is attributable
to the servant.

mons had a Parliamentary dinner on Saturday last, at the
