LEAMINGTON.—Among the principal vi-
siters of the week it gives us more than ordinary grati-
fication to observe the names of Lady BYRON and her
daughter, the Hon. ADA BYRON. Her Lad., ship and her
daugbter—"sole daughter" of the great poet's " house
and heart"—are staying at the Royal Hotel.—Learning_

Admiral and Mrs. TOMLINSON gave an en-
tertainment last week, on a splendid scale, to a large
party of fashionables, at Newick Park, which commenced
with an amateur theatrical performance, and was fol-
lowed up by a ball and supper. There were upwards of
one hundred persons present from the vicinity of Newick
and Lewes.

Paganini cleared 100 guineas in one night at

Mrs. Nesbit (the late Miss Mordaunt), has
been performing here during the week, in some of her
popular characters, and in her usual pleasing style.
During the Afterpiece on Wednesday, a most wanton act
took place, by which a Tidy, sitting in one of the boxes,
was mach alarmed, as well as injured. Some blackguard
in the gallery picked a piece of the plaistering from the
ceiling and fl.ing it violently into the boxes, and indicted
a heavy blow on the forehead and face of a lady sitting
sitting therein. Every exertion was immediately made
by the managers to discover the offender without success ;,
and the next morning they offered a reward of five guineas
and have been unceasing in their efforts to bring the
offender to justice.—Portsmouth Herald.
THE CARTWRIGHT CLUB.—Last night
the first annul meeting of the Members of this Club was
held at the Crown and Anchor, the Rev. Dr. RICE in
the Chair. The report of the Committee stated that after
defraying the expenses incurred by the usual meetings, the
annual thinner, and the extraordinary meetings of the Club,
there was a slight balance due to the Treasurer. The
present number of its members does not exceed one hun-
dred, but that is considered large, as the Ciub is but in
its infancy. The Committee had taken care to follow
out the principles of the Club, and among other acts a
public meeting was convened at White Conduit House, on
the 1911 of March last, at which a petition against the
Irish Coercion Bill was agreed to. On the 29th of July,
eing the anniversary of the erection of the statue of
Major CARTWRIGHT in Bruton•crescent, the Club had a
grand public dinner at the Eyre Arms Tavern, St. John's
Wood, at which the great principles of Reform were dis-
cussed, recognised, and honoured. The report was re-
ceived, and the election of a Committee for the year en-
suing then took place.
THE UNIONISTS.—The following diabolical
letter, signed 0. S. P.. Secretary, has been addressed to
a journeyman plasterer, Abraham Parker, who is in the
employ of a respectable tradesman in this town, and who,
it appears, refuses to belong to what is termed the Union:
—" This is to inform you, that if you prefer going on in
the manner you are now procee ling, in opposition to us,
you may. depend upon the consequences, that the evil will
shortly fall upon yourself, and you will be completely pa-
ralysed,
for recollect that you have not only to contend
with us in this town, but hundreds, and we may say thou-
sands, in all others. It we were to exercise only one-third
of our power, we could soon stop your course. Therefore
we request you, for your own benefit, to leave your present
employ."— Sheffield hitt.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.)

John Davis was indicted for stealing a silk handker-
chief from the person of a Mr. Everett.
The prosecutor was walking along Whitechapel on the
19th of August, when he felt a tug at his pocket, and on
turning round saw the prisoner running away with his
(the prosecutor's) handkerchief. He was pursued and
taken, but was not secured until after a severe struggle,
in which the prisoner it,flicted several severe kicks about
the person of the policeman.—He was found Gui ty.
The Governor of the House of Correction, on being
asked if he knew the prisoner, replied that the prisoner
had been in his custody for felony, as a reputed thief and
as an utterer of base coin.

The COURT said, as the prisoner was such an incor-
rigible character, the sentence was that he be transported
for 11 years.

George Dobbs and John Featherstone were indicted
for stealing a bird and cage, the property of George Wilson.
The prosecutor resided at a place called the Nursery, at
Tottenham, and on the evening of the 19th ult. a bird and
cage were stolen from the side of his house, where they had
been suspended. On inquiry, it was found that Feather •
stone had shortly before been asking about the neighbour-
hood if any person had a goldfinch to dispose of. That
was the only evidence against Feather-tone. The bird and
cage were found in a bag in *pig...stye on Dobh's premises.
Featherstone had a good character from Mr. Hill, of
Bruce Castle, the brother of Mr. Hill, M.P.
Tire Jury found the prisoners—Not Guilty.

The CatAirtmAN told D )IThs his case had a very merci-
ful consideration from the Jury, for if he Mil not steal the
t,ird, be knew it was stolen by some one.
Mary Acton, a young woman of respectable appear-
ance, was indicted for stealing a blanket, value 55., the
property of Mr. Cocks.

In July last, the prisoner went to lodge at the prosecu-
tor's house as a married woman, and shortly afterwards
several in-ticks were missed from the house, among which
was the blanket in question. On the 16th of August she
was searched, and the duplicates of a blanket and a tilde-
cloth found upon her. She begged hard not to be taken
into custody, saying her husband would release them.
The prisoner, in her defence, said she had cohabited
with a person named Thomas Acton, who had promised
her marriage, but deceived her, and abandoned her, al-
though he still resided in the prosecutor's house with his
child. She declared that she pledged the articles at his
request to remove a temporary difficulty.

Miss C irks said she had understood at flrat that Acton
and the prisoner were married, hut she now believed they
were not. Acton lived in the house since this trausaction.

The jury found she prisoner guilty; and the Chairman
taking into consideration her deserted situation, sentenced
her to a month's imprisonment, the last week of which to
be solitary.
George Jones was indicted for sealing a big and 7s.
in copper, the property of John Turner.
The prosecutor was a brewer ; and, on the 17th August,
sent his dray, in charge of his drayman, round to his rus-
tomers. In Wentworth-street, the drayman received 7s.
in copper, which he put in a bag, and placed them in a
smali box attached to the dray. Having occasion to be
absent from the dray a short time, on his return he saw
the prisoner walking off with the bag of money. On
seizing hiM, he said, " I only wished to see if you could
miss them."—(A laugh.)
The prisoner said he picked the money up.
The prisoner was found guilty, and sentenced to seven
years' transportation.

GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.)

THE PARISH OFFICERS OF ST. PRIDE'S.

SINGLETON V. YOLTON.

This was an infrmation instituted by the parish officers
of St. Bride's, against Mr. Polton, who keeps a bacon
and cheese shop in Shoe-lane, for keeping open his shop
on Sundays.

Mr. Singleton, on being examined by Mr. Smith, the
Vestry Cleik of St. Bride's, stated, that on Sunday
morning last he went to the shop of the defendant, which
he found open is on any other day. lie bought some
bacon and eggs.
Mr. HumruarEs, for the defendant, admitted the deal-
ing, but objected to the evidence of Singleton, on the
ground that, being informant, lie uas interested, inas-
much as he would receive part of the penalty if the party
was convicted.

Mr. Alderman 13nowx overruled the objection.
Mr. HuntrmarEs then cross examined the witness, who
stated that he was employed by Mr. Eagleton, the ward
beadle, to purchase the things from the defendant, but
hid not been sent anywhere else. Had never been sent to
purchase newspapers.

Mr. Hustruitirs submitted that bacon was an article
of necessity, and was therefore exempt by the Act.
Mr. Alderman BROWN.-Yes ; but you must show,
before you can avail yourself of that argument, that it is
necessary to boy it on Sunday.
The witness, in answer to further questions from Mr.
Humphries, said that he supposed the parish officers
would pay him. He had not received any thing yet, nor
had he made any bargain on the subject. Mr. Humphries
was proceeding to cro.s-examine the witness further,
when he was interrupted by
Mr. Alderman Eirrowsz observed that his time was that
of the public, and he really did not see the use of the
questions put.
Mr. HUMPHRIES said if such was the opinion of the
worthy Alderman, he would not proceed further in the
examination, but address him on behalf of the defendant.
Mr. Polton had been selected out by the parish autho-
rities for the purpose of being made an example of, while
they allowed the sale of newspapers, and public houses,
pastry-cooks, and a variety of other trades to carry on
their business on the Sunday. The trade of the
defendant was one of necessity, inasmuch as it enabled
the poor man to purchase with the scanty wages, which
he probably did not receive from his employer before
Sunday morning, those necessaries which were required
to support his family for the day. The case, however,
was widely different with respect to pastry cooks and
newspaper venders ; and while they were allowed to go
on selling their food both for the mind and body of the
rich, it was most ungracious, in his opinion, for the pa-
rish to institute such a prosecution.
Mr. Alderman BROWN could not consider in point of law
this to be a work of necessity. There was nothing to
prevent the poor man receiving his wages on Friday, and
he:hoped after this notice, in the City at least, mas►er
workmen would make a practice of paying their wen on
that day. As to the statement that the man had been
selected by the parish authorities as a victim, that was not
the question with him. The question with him was, had
the law been broken ; and he thought, after the testimony
that had been given, no reasonable man could doubt but it
had. He should consider the parish officers greatly to
blame if they selected any particular individual, he hoped
they would pursue the saine course with all that offended,
and if they did they would entitle themselves to the grati-
tude of the public, for the endeavour to keep that day holy
which had been commanded by the Almighty. lie be-
lievel the imputation against theparish officers unfounded,
:o what they had done they had acted a most excellent
part, and he trusted they would persevere dealing alike
to the poor and the ricb. The Worthy Alderman then
ordered the defendant to pay the whole penalty-ss.—oh-
serving that the Act gave him no discretion, otherwise
he should mitigate it.
There were several informations against a female named
oriem.
