LAMBETH-STREET.

THE CHIMNEY SWEEPERS' GAGGING ACT.—Yesterday
this office was literally besieged by master sweeps who do
business in a small way, and who, with their journeymen
and apprentices, amounted to some hundreds. This extra-
ordinary assemblage was caused by one of their sable bre-
thren laying information against three of the fraternity,
under the Act of Parliament passed during the last session
for having, themselves and their boys, cried " Sweep,
sweep !" in the public streets, and also with having in their
employment, as " climbingboys," lads under the age of four-
teen years. _

The cases were heard, and dismissed with light penalties;
but the chummies declared, one and all, that if they were
not permitted to cry as usual, they must starve.

MAR YLEBONE.

Yesterday Hugh Cuthbert, a tailor, residing at No. 3,
Cumberland-street, Tottenham-court-road, was placed at
the bar before the sitting Magistrate, Mr. SHUTT, charged
with having stabbed a journeyman baker named Thomas
Stevenson.

A certificate from the surgeon of the Middlesex Hospital
having been produced stating that Stevenson was not yet
out of danger, the prisoner, who said that he had used his
shears in his own defence, was remanded till Saturday.
Yesterday morning, after Mr. SHUTT had disposed of the
night charges, he called the attention of Mr. Fell, the chief
clerk, to an unjustifiable and gross misstatement that had
been made by one of the reporters of this office, and which
had appeared in most of the London Journals.
Mr. Twilley, the steward of Marylebone workhouse, and
Mr. King the assistant overseer, were present, and Mr.
SHUTT delayed making any remarks on the subject for
nearly half an hour, in order that as many reporters might
be present as possible to facilate the ends of truth.
Mr. SHUTT, after reading the report which was furnished,
and appeared in the Times of Monday last, respecting some
young paupers that he (the Magistrate) was represented to
have ordered to be " flogged" at the workhouse, designated
the whole as a vindictive and fabulous account, tending to
bring him into contempt. Mr. Shutt commented on the
report as he proceeded, and at the conclusion of it inquired
which of the reporters was the author of it ?
A Mr. Gilson, who has been in the habit of attending the
office, said he could not deny that he had written the article
in question.
Mr. SHUTT replied that he should know how to deal
with the case. He was at all times happy to assist the
public press in furthering the ends of justice, but when the
proceedings of that office were so grossly perverted, he could
not pass it over unnoticed.

The Magistrate then appealed to Messrs. Twilley and
King, Mr. Phillips, the clerk, and the other reporter, as to
the truth of the matter set forth, and the whole of them de-
clared it to be untrue.

William Husselton, an officer of the establishment, was
then sworn, and deposed that Mr. Gilson told him on Sa-
turday that he would " show up Mr. Shutt, for he had a
nice rod in pickle for him."

Mr. Gilson did not deny this; or in any way justify him-
self, and Mr. SHUTT ordered his total exclusion from the
office henceforth.

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

THE POOR LAW AMENDMENT ACT.—Yesterday a re-
spectably-dressed young woman of the name of Passom, ac-
companied by an elderly female, applied to Mr. CONANT,
in consequence of the parish officers of St. George's, Ha-
nover-square, having refused to allow her any support.
The applicant was twenty-two years of age, and had up
to a very late period supported herself and a younger sister
by her needle. Owing, however, to so many families being
out of town, she for some weeks past had been unable to
earn sufficient to keep herself in food. The consequence
was she became indebted where she lodged in the sum of
Bs. for rent. On Wednesday evening her landlady asked
her for the payment. She replied she was unable to liqui-
date the debt ; on which her landlady said that she should
not remain there another night, and forthwith proceeded to
turn her out of doors. Being destitute of a single farthing
she was under the necessity of walking the streets the whole
of the night. Yesterday morning she called on a friend
(an elderly female who accompanied the young woman to
the office), who desired her to apply to the parish officers
for some assistance. She accordingly went to Marylebone
workhouse, and stated her case ; they in reply said her
sleeping in their parish was of no service, and that she must
go to the one in which she was born, or where her parents
rented a house. In compliance with these orders she'pro-
ceeded to St. George's. The overseers told her she had
no claim on them, and that she must do the best she could
for herself.
Mr. CONANT—Have you no friends ? Applicant—l
have not. My father has been dead about three months
and my mother upwards of nine years.
Mr. CONANT—What was your father ? Applicant_
He lived in the family of the Marquis of Ailesbury for
several years, and kept a house in Mount-street, Grosvenor-

square.
Mr. CONANT-4 should. think if you were to apply to
the family of the Marquis something would be done for
you.
Applicant—The Marquis is not in England, and my fa-
ther was not in the service of his Lordship when he died.
Mr. CoriAr—Have you ever been in service? Appli-
cant—Yes, Sir ; but owing to ill-health I was obliged to
leave my place, and since then I have obtained until lately
my livelihood by my needle.
Mr. CONANT—I do not know what I can do for you, for
since the new Poor Law Bill has come into operation a
Magistrate has no power to interfere. The result is, un-
fortunate applicants are sent from one parish to another
without the slightest relief being afforded them.
Applicant—l do not know what to do, for last night I
walked the streets, and to-night I have no better prospect
before me, and if there was no "other evil attending it I
should lose my character, which is all I have to depend on.
Mr. CONANT—Yours is a case in which I should be very

re Frei
happy to interfere, and if any of the parish officers a
sent I will speak to them
The worth magistrate. was however informed thatteeet

Mr. CONANT—NO doubt your friend will take • al

ever in obtaining any assistance.
To this suggestion of the worthy magistrate tl'e,
cant's friend assented, and the young woman having Oen
Mr. Conant for his advice, left the office. n.zaar,
