WESTMINSTER.

THE GREAT WESTMINSTER MEETING.
Mr. HOME'S Speech concluded from our First Edition—
Be wished that all the absurd distinctions of Whig and Tory
would be done away with---let them look to real
objects of national benefit—(Cheers)—cheap and good
constitutional Government when the people would enjoy that
influence they were entitled to—the Peers those prerogatives
which he (Mr. H.) would nat deny them, and where the King
would be placed as the independent sovereign of the country,
instead of being, as hitherto, subject to the domination of the
Peers and the rotten boroughs.—( Great applause.) The
question was not whether sinecures and useless places
should be abolished, or whether they should have cheap
corn (for all these things were certain of attainment if they
did not allow themselves to be interrupted in their ca-
reer of reform), but whether the means which his Ma-
jesty had put into their hands should not be perfected and
carried into effect for the regeneration of their country ?
The late proceedings in high places might meet the
approval of the Emperor Nicholas, the Emperor of Austria,
or such characters; but it was not to be tolerated in a free
country, that the King of a Constitutional Government should
dismiss his legal and responsible advisers, without any fault on
their part, and while they possessed the support of a large ma-
jority of the people of England.—(Cheers.) He was willing
to forget many of the offences of the late government—be had
seen many black leaves, but he was willing to turn over to the
clean ones, and forget what had passed.---( Hear.) The reso-
lution which he held in his hand declared that the past con-
duct of the Tories was a proof that they would be always the
supporters of arbitrary principles. Was there a man in that
meeting who did not acknowledge the truth of that position,
and who was nst ready to declare that the Tory domination
. was one of corruption, and of misrule.—( Hear). Had not
these very men in 1789 and 1792 attempted to stop the pro-
gress of reform by entering upon a ruinous war to divert the
attention of Englishmen from the subject. The same mea-
sures would probably be now again resorted to, but un.
fortunately for the Tories, " the schoolmaster had been since
abroad," and he trusted the time would shortly arrive when
every child would be able to read ; and as he grew up, be able
to judge for himself. They depended upon the ignorance c f
the people as their best weapon, and what they relied upon
to meet it was brute force.—( Hear.) /They hail been threat-
ened with it some time ago, but the people were too cautious to
given them the wished-for opportunity. They could not doubt
but that the men who had hitherto opposed all reform, would,
when they had the power, put a stop to its further progress.
He wished the Duke of Wellington was present, and he would
ask him who were the real agitators—who were the real dis-
turbers of the public peace ? Was it not, he would ask, those
who had so long and so determinedly opposed all concession to
the demands of the people ?—( Cheers.) He had not heard
one expression from the people in favour of the change in his
Majesty's cctuneils. He invited any man to come forward and
advocate the Tories or their measures if he could, for all they
required was free discussion. They had an instance of it it in
the present meeting, where they had assembled publicly to
address his Majesty, and lay their opinions at his feet.
It had been said that a re-action had taken place. Was it,
he would ask, that of the Tory Lord Mayor, who was of
one opinion one day and another the following day ?—( Cheer-
ing.) Was it possible, he asked, that high-minded Englisl:„,ea
would permit apostates—men who would leave h!?,:,our and
honesty behind, on taking office, to preside over the destinies
of their country.--( Cheers, and cries of I,:o, no.) He hoped
Sir Robert Peel would soon arrive, al::nough he understood by
the last accounts that he had beau lost in the Fontine marshes
—( Hear)—and if so, they would be obliged to look for another
Chief. The point thes; should make up their minds to was
this, whether they would allow men who had declared them-
selves the enemies of all reform—who had carried forward
measures in spite of his Majesty—whether they would
allow these men, now that they had tasted the benefits
of Reform, and had obtained a preponderance in the House
of Commons, to domineer over them again?—( Cries of No, no. )
The Duke must be a bold man • indeed to attempt the lack of
governing the country again after having been twice driven
from power. It was a common saying that " The longest lane
had a turn," and " The boldest man might meet his match,"
and that would perhaps be exemplified in the Duke's case.
They could meet the Duke by boldly proclaiming, in a voice
of thunder, that they would have no such " wolves in sheep's
clothing" for their rulers. 1 hey had already obtained the means
of putting him down, by the Reform Bill, and it was not to he
supposed that his Majesty would have sanctioned that Bill if
he did not mean to render it really effective for the redress of
the grievances of the people. It was absurd to suppose that
the Government could be properly conducted unless with the
approbation of the majority of the people. Look at the very
acts of the Tories—Were they not anxious to protect what had
had been thought almost too rotten to touch—the Irish Este-
bished Church.—(Hear, hear.) The Church, be admitted,
- should be supported, but was it necessary to protect the
abuses, the corruption, and the misrule of every de-
partment of that church—( Hear, hear, hear)—which had
become scandalous all over the earth'? There was more in the
present stand of the Tories than they were aware of,—it was
an underhand attempt to put an end to that reform which the
late Ministry had candidly told his Majesty they intended to
effect; the extent of which it was not now necessary to allude
to further, than that it would meet the wishes of the people of
England. and the House of Commons.—( Cheers.) They
might all recollect the speech lately put into his Majesty's
mouth, in which he declared that he was prepared to defend
all the institutions--not the good ones, or the good parts—but
all the institutions of Church and State as they now stood,
with all their abominations and abuses. Did not that show the
character of the advisers by whom he was surrounded ? Let them
look at the speeches at the Ashford and Canterbury dinners,
and they would there find the Conservatives boldly asserting
that his Majesty was determined to support every part of the
Constitution as it now existed. These observations and asser-
tions were deserving of serious attention. The Duke had
stated at the Ashford Dinner that the rotten Church would be
defended by the army and navy of England. That was what
they had to expect from the military Dictator.--( Cheers.)
Who then was the agitator that set the people in a ferment ?
Who was the disturber of the public peace ? Was it not the
Duke, by hazarding such declarations as these ?—( Cheers. )
Would the people be deluded by the story that a carte blanche
had been sent to Sir Robert Peel, and that the conquerc• of
one hundred battles was willing, to take office as a subaltern
under
.him ?—(Hear.) Was the Duke already become so
odious that he sheltered himself behind Sir R. Peel ?
(Hear.) But this was but another subterfuge. If Sir R. Peel
was Minister to-morrow, would not the Duke of Wellington
be the adviser and the leading man at the Horse Guards and
elsewhere?—_( Hear and cheers.) He cautioned the people,
therefore, to be on their guard—let no act, however atrocious,
•on the part of the Tories, tempt them to a breach of the
peace, or afford their enemies an opportunity for resorting to
violence. Let them but pursue the straight-forward course
resorted to by them on a former occasion, and they would pre-
vail over military despotism, and the supporters of the Holy
Alliance.—(Cheers.) They were all aware of how they suf-
fered under Castlereagh, when the country had been dragged
at the wheels of that unholy Alliance, and were they now to
remain quiescent under the yoke of men professing similar
principles until they had been told what Sir R. Peel would
do ?—(No, no.) If Sir R. Peel professed his readiness to
grant the people universal suffrage, vote by ballot, and annual
Parliaments, he ( Mr. H.) would not believe a word of it--( Hear)
—for what would he do with Lords Winchilsea and Kenyon,
and Sir R. Inglis (who he understood had gone on a pilgrim-
age to the Holy Land) ? How would he act when he (Mr. H.)
had the declaration of the latter, who was a man of honour
and consistent in his principles, " that from his knowledge of
his Right Hon. Friend, ( Sir R. Peel) he could not believe
that he who had acted so consistently for years, would now
carry into effect measures which he had so often declared
would be ruinous to the country ; but even if such measures
were brought forward by that Right Honourable Gentleman,
or others, he ( Sir R. Inglis) would oppose them."--( Cheers. )
What a strange state they were placed in, for not one friend of
the Hon. Baronet had yet come forward to say one word fcr
him, or defend him from the charge of being a man without
honour, because of his taking office for the mere sake of lucre
and power, and for the purpose of being enabled to gratify his
friends by saddling them upon the public. In that cry he
(Mr. H.) would be obliged to join if he saw Sir R. Peel now
take the helm of affairs, and say " I utterly disregard all my
former Opinions—l will carry through these very reforms which
I think are and have been declared to be abominations; so that
I can keep in power."—( Cheers.) Down with such men—
( Great cheering)—but lam led away by the heat of argu-
ment, for, thank God, they are not up yet—( Cheers)—and he
trusted they never would. He knew it would be very easy for
them to form an Administration—in fact, if he had a list of the
Tories he could name one at once—he judged of what mate-
rials it waS to be made up from looking at those who had of
late attended the Councils--he would ask whether there was
one man amongst them from whom the country had a right to
expect any redress of grievances—was there one amongst
them who had not emptied his pockets , for the purpose
of supporting the constitution as it then stood,' full of
rank abuses ?.--( Loud cheering.) The language of the
resolution was most appropriate, for the Tories had cer-
tainly been the most active enemies of all reforms. Feeling
strongly for the liberties of his country, he most emphatically
declared that he could put no trust in such men ; he could not
believe that they would bring forward any measures that
would be beneficial. In England the people were strong
enough to check them and protect themselves, but the mischief
the Tories could do with allying this country again to the in-
famous Holy Alliance, was altogether incalculable ; and if they
were allowed to remain in power, the people of regenerated
France, Belgium, Portugal, and Spain, would again be tram-
pled upon by the tyrants and despots they had so lately releivcd
themselves from. Those people were anxiously looking for-
ward to the time when Englishmen should regain all their
liberties—( Hear, hear)—it was for that time they most
anxiously prayed—( Cheers)—for then they trusted the
example would be so good as to carry conviction along with
it, and extend the blessings of real liberty to them.—( Cheers. )
He, therefore, entreated all reformers of all kinds and degrees
to forget their petty jealousies and differences at that time, to
join most cordially in order to crush the great enemy of every
o.ie of them. How strange was their situation—how awful it
was even now, when reports were made to his Majesty of the
sentences awarded by the law to criminals, there was not even
the shadow of a Council with which to advise,all was left to
the great Warrior, who was to be seen flying frinn one office
to another—who was now here, now there, conducting the
whole business of the State without assistance. Who, he would

hcen blamed as such; but he was now put down; another and
a greater agitator had arisen in the person of the Noble
Duke of Wellington, who had now been " The Govern-
ment" for fifteen days, and for all that was known might
continue so for other fifteen ; and if allowed to do so,
why Might he not say, " I have managed very well for one
month, why should I not save the trouble and expense of fill-
ing up any of the offices. I can do the duties of them all well
enough."—(Cheers and laughter.) He called upon the meet-
ing to look at what the Tories had done, and judge of them
by their former acts. They had been told over and over again
to wait for declarations from the Government, and promises
were made that Reform si:ould go on—if they wished for a
sample of Tory promises, they had no farther to look than to
the conduct of the thorough " Church and King" Lord
Mayor.—( Loud laughter.) He really was sorry, and almost
felt ashamed, when he saw some sensible men, friends of
his, so easily imposed upon by such a shallow, hollow man,
as his civic Lordship. That was the time for them to tell his
Majesty, in the most distinct terms, that they would place no
confidence in such men, and that if he wished to have peace at
home, he must keep trade: and manufactures in a flourishing
condition, which could never be done by appointing a Ministry
which did not possess the confidence of the country.—
(Cheers.) Let them have a long pull, a strong pull, but,
above all, let them have a pull altogether, and their success
was certain. The Hon. Gentleman concluded amidst great
applause.

The resolution was then put to the meeting, and passed
unanimously amidst cheering.
Mr. E. BEALE came forward, and said he had been requested
to propose a resolution, and it was one which would give the
meeting an opportunity of speaking out in the thunder alluded
to by the Hon. Member for the county. It was as follows :
" That in the opinion of this meeting, no Administration can be
expected to fulfil the long-cherished wishes of the people of Eng-
land, or qualified to consolidate their liberties, relieve their present
distresses, and secure their future welfare, which is not prepared to
perfect the Reform Bill, to restore triennial Parliaments, and pro-
mote the adoption of more extended suffrage, and the voteby ballot,
to work out the reform of all corporate abuses, and of all abuses in
the Church establishments of Great Britain and Ireland, and to en-
tirely repeal all taxes pressing upon productive industry and know-
ledge."

He had the greatest pleasure in proposing such a resolution,
which altogether referred to national wants and wishes, and
not to any particular party. It was such a one as deserved to
be, and he believed would be upheld by every reformer in the
kingdom, and every liberal man who had the weal of his
country at heart. It had been said, that because the people
were not now so much in favour of the Whigs, who had
truckled too much to their enemies—that because the people
were not now prepared to thrust them back to power as they
did on a former occasion, therefore they were ready to fall into
the arms of the reckless Tories. That was a most mistaken
notion, and he thought his Grace was almost convinced that
such was the case. Why was it that they should trust the
Tories ? It was said that they had now changed, and were
willing to rule in the spirit of the age. He doubted that,
and believed it was merely put forward for the purpose of
deceiving. They were not yet ready to govern in the spirit
of giving the greatest happiness to the greatest number.
denied that the Duke and the Tories deserved the -„fide„,
o!' the people on account of their conduct iv.
Test and Corporation Acts and the respect to the
-Catholic claims--they
never would have given them up had they not been wrung
from them by fear._ .
viGITTIIMeIIt could now stand that
would not relier. crt,
the people. butaens which pressed so heavily upon
do proposed the resolution, in the sentiments of
I%lo', no most heartily concurred.
Mn THURSTON said that he had been an elector for West-
minster for thirty years, and as such, had been called upon to
second the resolution. He was no party man, and was most
happy to see himself surrounded on that occasion by men
of all political creeds, who, upon so critical an occasion,
had laid aside all their differences for the common good.
—( Hear, hear, hear.) He had no fear of his motives
being misrepresened, for in his heart he believed he
was joined by millions of his fellow-countrymen. He did not
think the people had anything to fear ; let them but act peace-
fully, constitutionally, and firmly, and their success was cer-
tain. He would conch.de in the words of the great Lord
Nelson—" England expects that every man this day will do
his duty."
Colonel Eva:vs came forward to support the resolution, and
was received by the meeting with repeated rounds of cheerily*.
He said he could not be expected to add much to what had
been said after the meeting had had the advantage of hear.
i.ig what had fallen from the most useful member of the
Legislature, Mr. Hume.—(Cheers.) It was not necessary
for him to detain them long upon that occasion, but he
thought it his duty to come forward as their servant,- and
tell them the line of conduct he meant to pursue, and to
take their instructions.—(Cheering.) They had come
there to bury in oblivion the little differences which existed
amongst them for the general good of the country ; he
introduced that topic, because it gave him an opportunity
of speaking of his Hon. Colleague.—( Loud Cheers.) A
letter had been received from the Honourable Baronet,
which he regretted had not been brought to the
hustings and read, for it would have shown that the
worthy Baronet, who was detained from the meeting by
severe illness, went heart and hand along with them.—
( Cheers.) That led him also to speak of his late opponent,
Sir John C. Hobhouse—( Slight cheering)—who as being one
of the late Government, could not properly attend that meet-
ing. He regretted that, because if the Right Hon. Baronet
could consistently have come forward, he could have told them
something of the nature of those further reforms which the late
Government had prepared to submit to the Parliament—
( Cheers.) Had they not been driven from the Councils of
his Majesty? His principle duty was to state the line
of conduct he was to pursue.—( Hear, hear, hear.) He
looked with alarm at any Government formed under the au-
spices of the Duke of Wellington—it must necessarily be a
Tory one, and he would upon all fitting occasions give it his
utmost hostility. —( Great cheering.) He respected the former
services of the Duke, under whom he had had the honour to
serve, and he would do so again if necessary ; but then it was
fighting in a foreign land and against a foreign enemy. Ile
promised them they would never see him in the ranks of the
Duke in civil affairs, or in anything against the liberties of
the people. There was only one shae of difference between
him and his Hon. Friend, Mr. Hume, and that was that lie
(Col. E.) could not view the state of things with much alarm:
They might rely upon it that the embryo Government were
not on a bed of roses. The people were too strong for them,
and would certainly crush them.—( Cheers.) They had great
need of a steam-engine of very considerable power, for most
undoubtedly they were sailing against a very strong wind
and tide.—( Laughter, and great cheering.) They were told
to wait for measures and not rail at men ; but he for
one could not think that those men who denounced the Re-
form Bill throughout its progress, were the fit and proper
men to carry out its principles—(Cheers)—in denouncing it,
they had morally incapacitated themselves from governing in
its spirit.—( Great cheering.) They would be placed in an
exceedingly uncomfortable position. If they went on with
Reform, their friends the Tories would turn their backs upon
them—they must always be distrusted by Reformers, so that
in any case they were likely to find the truth of the
old proverb, " between two stools, &c." He would
tell them a fact which had happened only a few days ago, and
was within his own knowledge. They all recollected the
Duke at Oxford a short time ago—how he was received and
entertained—it now appeared that though the Duke was only
locum tenens for Sir Robert Peel, he was already considering
what measures should be proposed, and taking steps accor-
dingly. About four days ago the Duke sent down to Oxford
his plan for reform in the Church—it was received, and
considered by ten of the Reverend Doctors and
their astonishment, rage, and alarm, were excessive
—their rage predominated—and the Duke's plan scouted
by a majority of nine to one, and much worse names
applied to him than they would dare to do, amongst
which Judas Iscariot was not the worst. That was what thy
had to expect from the Duke, and he would ask whether tie
people of England would be contented with such a plan of
Church Reform as would satisfy the Doctors of Oxford ?
( Cries of " No, no.") The Reformers were denounced as
wishing for the destruction of property—they were all
very well acquainted with the fact of Lord John
Russell being the son of the Duke of Bedford.—
Now, was it likely that Lord John would wish to deprive his
father of the market they were in, or was it probable that such
a proprietor as Lord Durham would coutenance so wild a plan.
He called upoq the meeting to consider what the fate of Ireland
ould be under the sway of the Tories. It was a fact little
thought of, that the misrule of that country cost England five
millions of money a year. After alluding to the conduct of
the Duke and the Tories upon the claims of Dissenters last
vcar, be asked the meeting how they could expect that they
had so suddenly changed to liberalism? Lord Melbourne
on a late occasion said the people were answerable for the
manner in which they used their political power ; he (Colonel
Evans) would add to that, that they were also answerable to
themselves and their children for the due maintenance of their
rights and privileges.
Colonel JONES congratulated the meeting upon their una-
nimity, which would strike terror into the hearts of their bitter
enemies the Tories. He trusted that the people would go
band in hand together in saying they would not submit to
the rule of the Tories, and would not be intimidated or cheated
out of their liberties.
The Resolution was then put by the HIGH BAILIFF, and
declared by him to be carried unanimously.
Mr. WAKLEY, on coming forward to propose the following
Resolution, was received with loud cheers, which continued
for some minutes :
" That the warmest thanks of this meeting are pre. eminently
due, and are hereby most cordially voted, to the Earl of Durham,
for his late manly and virtuous advocacy of those popular rights,
Triennial Parliaments, Household Suffrage, and Vote by Ballot,—
the only means of securing to the people good and cheap govern-
ment." _ _

THIS EVENING.

The following is his MAJESTY'S answer :

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT, DEc. 1.

OLD COURT.
TRIAL OF RICHARD CARLILE.
(Concluded from The Sun of yesterday.)
Mr. Carlile proceeded to address the Jury in an uncon-
nected and irrelevant manner. In the course of his speech
the defendant entered on the question of church rates, and
said he felt satisfied he should receive the thanks of the
whole of the inhabitants Of St. Dunstan's in his endeavour
to get rid of church rates. He had resisted the payment.
of those rates on principle, and not from anything like hos-
tility to the Church, which had dissented from itself since
its institution.
Mr. Justice PARK—I cannot allow you to say anything
about the Church. There is nothing in the indictment
about church rates.
Carlile—l was going to state that the Church—
Mr. Justice PARK—You cannot be allowed to say any-
thing about the Church, sir.
Carlile—l submit, my Lord.
Mr. Justice PARK—I will take care that you do submit
while I have authority here.
Carlile—l have no wish to asperse the Church ; quite
contrary ; I only wish to show the arbitrary power in
collecting the church rate.
Mr. Justice PARK--I will not allow the Christian reli-
gion to be defamed.
Carlile here made some remarks about his dissent from
the Church.
Mr. Justice PARK—I will not suffer, Sir, the Christian
religion, which is a part of the law of the land, to be vili-
fied and abused in a Court of law.
Carlile here made some observations about the learned
Judge's feelings.
Mr. Justice PARK—I never saw you until the other day
when you attended in this Court, and therefo:e I can have
no feelings against you.
Mr. Justice CROSS—The only question before the Court
is whether you have committed a nuisance, by causing an
obstruction in the public streets.
Mr. Justice PARK—That is the only question which we
have to inquire into.
The defendant then resumed his defence, and regretted
that the Learned Judge had stopped him. With regard to
the Church, he could assure the Learned Judge that he
would say nothing about that Establishment, which would
be unpleasant to his feelings.
Mr. Justice PARK—What you say is not unpleasant to
me. I only wish you to keep to the matter at issue before
the Court.
Carlile, in continuation, said it had been represented that
he Was an enemy to the Church and to all religions. He
lmd given proofs that such was not the case, and he was
ready to make this confession, that the Church was an ad-
mirable institution ; taking it in its state of purity it was
essential to the community, and he was convinced that no
Community could exist without it. He should be able to
show ant he was not an enemy to the Church if he were
allowee. to define what he meant. But upon that point he
was prohibited. With respect to the effigies, there was no
power vested in the law to remove them, and although they
might convict him, and the Learned Judge send him to a
col, the effigies should remain. The defendant then en-
tered into a long detailed account of his various terms of
'imprisonment, and the history of the law expenses which he
had incurred, as well as the decision of the late Recorder,
who had sent him for thirty-two months to prison, although
one of the Jurors before whom he was tried had not agreed
in the verdict. He, therefore, begged of them to take his
case into their fullest consideration, and to decide for them-
selves, as they, and not the Judge, possessed the power to
say whether he was a nuisance or not. If his effigies were
nuiwnces, then the procession of the Lord Mayor, that of
the drudges, that of his Majesty going down to open Parlia-

[ ' He stood before them as an old Radical Reformer--( Cheers)
and was glad to see that Whigs, Reformers, and Radicals all
joined hand and heart together for the purpose of keeping
out the Tories. He detested the Tory faction, and he wished
they would quarrel among themselves, as the Kilkenny cats did,
who fought till they had nothing left but their tails—
( Laughter.) It was the duty of the people, knowinr, their
rights, to take the best course for securing them, taking for
their guidance those principles which would work for their
benefit and improvement. Generally speaking, when Lords
came forward as Reformers, he did not believe them to be
sincere; but he did believe the Noble Earl who was the sub-

placed in a most awkward situation, because Lord Althorp,
who was called an old woman, chose to take up his petticoats
and carry himself from the House of Commons to the House
of Lords.—( Cheers.) He trusted the people would act man-
fully, and if they did, they would have nothing to fear from
the Tories.—( Cheers.)
Dr. CARPUE seconded the resolution. He believed Lord
Durham to be a most honest and conscientious man, and en-
titled to the best thanks of his country.
Mr. SMITH had no doubt that meetings like the present, and
those which were continually taking place in all parts of the
country, would soon put an end to the gallopirgs of the Duke

Dictator ?—( Cheers.) Why, they had pursued that course
which would effectually put a stop to its doing any mischief.—

The resolution was carried unanimously.
Three cheers were then given for the Earl of Durham.
Dr. BowaiNG moved an address to the King, which was an
echo of the resolutions.
Mr. NORMAN seconded the motion, which was unanimously
carried.
Mr. WEBB moved a resolution, that the Members for West.

King, which was carried unanimously.
Mr. CRAWFORD moved, and Mr. WADE seconded, a vote
of thanks to the High-Bailiff, which was carried amid loud
acclamations.

The HIGH-BAILIFF returned thanks, and the meeting dis.
persed in the most quiet and orderly manner.

The defendant then proceeded to read the various counts
in the indictment, and commented on them at considerable
length. • In the course of which he contended that a bishop
was a spiritual broker. He trusted he had not said too
much to them ; but he considered the importance of the
case demanded a lengthened address.
The defendant then called the following witnesses :
Mr. Alderman Brown—l was sitting at Guildhall in Ja-
nuary last as a magistrate, when a young man was brought
before me for suspending some effigy in the street. I con-
victed the defendant in a penalty of 54
Mr. Justice PARK—I am very much distressed, Mr. Car-
lilo, by the mode in which you proceed, If there was guelt
a fine iti must be in writing, and that must see. I cannot
receive parole evidence on the subject.
Mr. Alderman PAREBROTHER—I came to your house in
October last, when you stated to me that you had before
you an Act of Parliament which entitled. you to maintain
what you had done. You then stated to me that you con-
sidered you had been very ill used by a levy which had been
made. I then stated to you that ono of the officers had
complained of the mob which had assembled. I considered
it my duty as CLief Magistrate of the City to maintain the
public peace, and I accordingly sent.for a force of twenty
of the police for the purpose of clearing, the streets. You
certainly acted with great temper, mildneis, and courtesy
towF4s me. I said the figures must come down, when you
replied you wished to try the question, but you had no
money to throw away in law. If I would allow you to be
summoned you would take them down. I cannot call it an
arrangement, for I insisted on their being taken down.
Mr. Justice Peax—All what Mr. Alderman Farebrother
has been saying is no more evidence than what is now say-
ing in Japan.

LONDON SESSIONS.-MONDAY, DEC. 1.

Yesterday these Sessions commenced at Guildhall, be-
fore the Lord MAYOR, RECORDER, and a bench of Al-
dermen.

Mrs. Richardson, the proprietor of the house No. 26,
Milton-street, and a broker, named Sivaine, were tried for
having with strong hand broken into the ground floor of
that house, and turned out the tenant, an oysterman, who
paid her 7s. a week for the concern.

It was proved that although the prosecutor had paid up
his rent regularly, and even had stated that he had no ob-
jection that his rent should be doubled, Mrs. Richardson
and her broker went to the house, took the padlock and
staple off the door, possessed themselves of the premises,
and completely prevented the tenant from occupying.
Mr. BODKIN said that his client (Mrs. Richardson) was
doomed to taste the blessings of litigation, for actions for
trespass had been brought against her and the broker for
having legally possessed herself of her premises after hav-
ing served the tenant with due notice. The Learned Coun-
sel called witnesses to prove that the defendant had got
into the tenant's premises by a door which was open in
another part of the house. He, however, failed in the
proof, and the defendants were found Guilty.
The RECORDER said that the Jury had found the de-
fendants guilty of an offence which was attended with as
few circumstances of aggravation as any case he had ever
heard ; but he found that by the Act of Parliament he
was bound to inflict imprisonment and fine. He should,
therefore, sentence each of the defendants to be fined one
shilling, and to be imprisoned one day.
It is but justice to the Recorder to say, that nothing
appears to give him greater pleasure than to mark his opi-
nion of such a prosecution by kindness of manner to the
accused, as well as by making the punishment of a mere

name.
