Captain Ross said that the person who had given
such information to his Lordship was the only mat
who had misconducted himself during the expedi-
tion. The 58/. to which that individual seemed ti
think himself entitled was the difference betweet
the double pay during the whole voyage, puttint.
out of the question the loss of the ship, and Th.
money which he had actually received, a•;d, as ha,
been previously stated, the moment the ship wa•
lost all claim upon the part of the crew legally tel.
initiated.

The LORD MAYOR asked whether the applicatiot
made by the seaman at the Mansion-house hat
been sanctioned by the Captain ? Captain Roe
said it had ben made at his express desire, for th
purpose of benefiting the female who claimed tie
money. The fact was, he (Captain Ross) suspecto
that the will had not been destroyed, as was statee
On the contrary, he believed that it was still i
existence, and therefore he had directed the seams
to make affi,favit before the Lord Mayor of the trut
of his statement, that it had been washed by th
dissolved ice and crumbled away. His object wa+
to enable the poor woman to take out letters of ad
ministration. If such precaution had not been taken
his only alternative would have been to hand ever
the money to the Greenwich chest. The Captain
sgiin assured the Lord Mayor that the crew had
not the moat remote cause of cornt:6;-

of removing utterly an impression which some pa-
ragraphs in the Newspapers were calculated to
make, that the crew were undergoing privations on
account of tte difficulties in the way of a pecuniary
settlement.
A poor woman named vary Coleman, applied
to the Lord Mayor under the following circum-
stances of hardship:—
The complainant was in the habit of taking her
stand on the steps of the house of Mr. Way, the
grocer, at the foot of Holbornßridge, close to Field-
lane, with coffee and bread and butter, from six
o'clock in the morning matt' eight. By the sale of
the beverage she kept herself out of the workhouse,
and of course relieved the parish of the expen-e of
maintaining one person. Although not the slightest
obstruction had been made by her and her appa-
ratus, the officer who patrolled the district seized
the whole " concern," expelled her from the spot,
and lodged the only means of a livelihood she had
in the world in the Green Yard, from which she
could not relieve them without the payment of
4s. 6d , a sum which would be a little fortune
to her.
The LoRD MAYOR, after making some observa-
tions upon the coueby and itnpoliey of such treat-
ment, directed Brand, the marshalman, to inquire
into the circumstances.
Brand, after having made the necessary inquiry,
said that the slightest obstruction could not have
been caused by the poor woman if she was allowed
to pursue her avocation. Mr. Way consented to
allow her to occupy the place before his door, but
the patrol had, in doing as he had done, m, rely fol-
lowed Ike directions of the authorities of the ward,
who gave orders that no person should be allowed
o stand in that neighbourhood with anything

for sale.
The LORD MAYOR said it was odd that a pool
woman should be pr-vented from endeavouring to
avoid pauperism, and that, notwithstanding the be-
nevolent acquiescence of Mr. Way, the authorities '
should drive her away. He regretted that he could
not sanction the poor applicant in going to the place,
and he hoped the Common Council of the Ward
would think better of the matter and countermand
the order.
Brand said that the authorities apprehended that
obstructions might arise.
The complainant asked whether the people at
the Green Yard would give up her basket and
board, which she had bort owed ?
The LORD MAYOR—I shall order that they be
given up to you without any char;;

UNSTAMPED PUBLICATIONS.—On Saturday last
a poor boy, named Everfield, was brought before
Mr. MlNsuut.t. on a charge of selling an unioamped
publicatio., containing articles of news, called the
People's Police Gazette, and upon conviction was
sentenced to one month's imprisonment and hard
labuur in the House of Correction. The bny wa,
much distressed at the :-,entence, and pleaded hat ti
that his father and moiher were out of employmen
and in want of bread, and that he had goht a few
numbers of the publication to sell in the ope of
prt;tlg them some food. He was conveyed to

prison.
On Monday the father and mother of the boy
came before Mr. HALLS, arid after describing their
distressed condition, and stating that the boy liac
always borne a good chat acter, of which they had
abunda,ce of evidence to produce, implored that
his Worship would, under the cucumstances,
sigF
an older for his discharge.
Mr. HALLS said that in the first place he was not
the cottonnttag magisira' e, and could not possiiii
interfere, and moreov,r, he was afraid Mr. Minshull
had not the power to sign a discharge after ummii-
meta in execution ; that privilege rested alone with
the Secretary of State.
On a subsequent application to Mr. Minshull,
similar answer was given, and the poor couple lef
t ha office evidently much disappointed.
