A QUEER SOLICITOR.—Joseph Constant So/Ontion, a
tall dirty-looking man, who deseribed himself as a solici-
tor, of 56, Craubourn-street, Leicester•square, was
brought before Mr. Beadon, on a warrant, charged with
using abusive and threatening language towards Mr.
Taylor Roberts, solicitor, 18, St. Martin's-court.
Mr. Roberts stated that on Wednesday, the 27th of
August last, he left his office with the intention of going
to the County Court, and when he arrived at the cor-
ner of the narrow part of Saint Martin's-court
he came in contact with the defendant, who
struck him on the shoulder, and said, " Well,
Robert,,l'il forgive you for beating me in that cause the
other day, but I'll be one with you yet." Witness
cautioned him as to what he was about, and tried to pass
on. The prisoner persisted in following him, and re-
peatedly called out to hi4l to go and pay his debts. A
large crowd then collected, and it was with the grt atest
difficulty he got away from the prisoner, against whom
he took out a summons to answer for his conduct at this
court. Defendant, however, never attended to the
summons, and a warrant was granted, and on Saturday
night he was apprehended while in a beastly state of
intoxication. Defendant had formerly been a
certificated solicitor, but at present he was not, and
from his habits had latterly become a disgrace to the
profession to which he persisted he still belonged.
Defendant moat humbly apologised for his conduct
towards the complainant, and promised
,if he was for-
given this once be would not repeat the offence.

Mr. Beadon fined the defendant 20s. and costs.
Mr. Roberts said he did not wish for so severe a sen-
tence, and weuld_ be satisfied with the prisoner entering
into his own recognisance to keep the peace.
Mr. Beadon then ordered the defendant to pay 45.,
the cost of the warrant.

Mr. Roberts paid the money, and the defendant
gave him an I 0 U for the amount.

THE BERMONDSEY NUISANCES AND THE BOARD OE
WORKS.-Mr. Edwin Goodwin, manure manufacturer
and guano dealer, Pauline•street, Bermondsey, was
summoned before Mr. Combe by the Board of Works
for the Bermondsey district, for carrying on an offensive
trade, and allowing a large quantity of filth to accumu•
late to the danger of Le'lealth of the inhabitants.
Mr. Riches, the clerk to the board, appeared to pro•
acute. _ . _ _

uv
Dr. Challice, the officer of health for the district,
stated that in the early part of the present month he re-
ceived information that the defendant kept in his pre-
mises a quantity of filthy matter used in his trade which
was offensive to the inhabitants. In consequence of that
witness went with Inspector O'Brien and examined the
place, where he found about 100 tons of putrid animal
matter lying all about with other filthy stuff used in the
manufacture of manure. It was dangerous to the health
of the neighbourhood and ought to be instantly removed.
Mr. Combe said he should make the required order.

[ADYERTISEMENTA
To the Editor of the Sun.

Slll,-1 pointed out last week the folly of the panic in
Government securities. Speculators are now talking of
the probability of the rank of England raising the rate
of discount, which it decidedly will not do, for these
reasons :
Money is plentiful at the present rate.
Trade is sound, without specu'ation.
The quarter's revenue will show a large increase.
The last of the loans has been fully paid up without
difficulty.
The public deposits, the private deposits, and the
reserve of notes, have all increased considerably.
