Lord LYNDHURST said that the effis bad been elabo-

taken id eamider the question raised. There was a dif-
ference of opinion upon the question between those Noble
Ltfird§ who heard the case. Under these circumstances,
therefore, considering the nature of the questinn—consi-
defing the arnottnt of property at stake, it would not be fit-
ting that shy &dein should be now given in the absence of
the Noble and-Learned Lord who had heard the question
in the Court.below.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE:

An elderly man of tePpeetable appearance, named
Richard Wichstead, was brought before the LORD MAYOR
charged with having on Sunday last disturbed the congre-
gation of a church in Lombard street.
One of the parish officers stated that, in the forenoon of
Sunday, during church time, the defendant entered the
aisles and threw printed bills, which were headed " A so-
lemn address to the British public in accordance with
Holy Writ,' into the pews. The condition of the mind of
the poor man might be inferred from the fact that, along
with a number of quotations from the Old and New Tes-
tament, was the following intimation :
" I do hereby give notice that that which is called the
Church Establishment in this nation is not Christianity,
but that which is represented as that woman Jezebel,'
which is a snare to the people, and is the grossest idolatry
on the face of the earth, it being founded on covetousness
which is idolatry, and built up and upheld with perjury and
blasphemy, and is a perversion of all good; and its tendency
is to worship the devil and his imps."
Upon a former occasion similar bills had been dropped
Into the pews of the same church, but the person who cir-
culated them could not be found.

The LORD MAYoll—What do you mean by interrupting
public worship ? Defendant—l don't interrupt worship, I
only wish to chasten it. The thing as it is done is not the
right thing. People are doing all they can to acknowledge
the work of the devil.

The LORD MAYOR—Have you anybody here to say
who you are, and to be answerable for your good conduct ?
Defendant—Nobody. I want nobody ; 1 am master of my
own actions.

The LORD MAYOR—But I know that you are not fit to
be master of your own actions, and I shall not allow you
to be at large without some security that you will not
conduct ppm& in this way again. Defendant—What
harm have I done? I have printed these bills with my
own money, and I haVe interrupted nobody.
The LORD MAYOR—Why is not the printer's name to
the bills ? Don't you know that there is a penalty of 201.
for the distribution of every one of these bills ? Defend-
ant—l know there ought to be nothing of the kind.
That's part of the system of Satan, to curb the liberties
of mankind.

The Lone MAYOR—I shall cause you to be locked up,
until you produce somebody of a rational sort.

The defendant was then remanded.

A provision broker applied to the LORD MAYOR for his
Lordship's assistance in getting the Greenyard penalty in
the case of the seizure of 120 Irish pigs remitted.
The applicant said that the pigs had been sent over to
this country in a steam-vessel, which ought to have reached
London on Saturday, but which by some accident did not
arrive until Sunday morning. It became necessary, in
order to prevent a mortality amongst them, to drive them
to the place provided for them in Smithfield the moment
they were landed, and they were accordingly driven through
the City during church hours. This was, no doubt, a vio-
lation of the existing regulations, and the pigs were accord-
ingly seized and driven to the Greenyard, where they were
detained for the payment of the sum of 181. 12s. As,
however, the case was one of real extremity, and as the
owner of the pigs was a poor man, to whom that penalty
would be a bitter loss, it was hoped that the Chief Magis-
trate would eause it to be remitted.

The LORD Hinge regretted that he could not comply
with the request of the applicant. The Irish derived con-
siderableadvantages from sending pigs to the London mar-
ket, and must submit to the disadvantages arising from
non-attention to rules, the infraction of which to the pig
owners of this country was punished uniformly by the fine
of the Greenyard.
