SWEARING IN OF THE NEW
SHERIFFS.

Alderman Gabriel and Alderman Phillips were sworn
into office, as sheriffs of London, and sheriff of Middlesex
(as there can legally be but one sheriff for a county), with
all the usual formalities, and breakfasted with the guests,
including the principal residents of their wards. After
breakfast the Lord Mayor proceeded to Guildhall in full
state, attended by the Sheriffs, :and met the :Court of
Aldermen ; the Sheriffs' Marshal informed the court that
the sheriffs elect had arrived, and the two junior aldermen
present were forthwith desired to meet them at the door
and conduct them to the court. The aldermen and officers
then left the court, and went to the Great Hall; the
sheriffs elect, with their chaplains and undersheriffs,
and the liveries of their companies, following. The
common crier then commanded silence, and called
upon the sheriffs elect, by name, to come for-
ward and take upon themselves the office of sheriffs of
London, and sheriff of the county of Middlesex, and the
sheriffs elect accordingly presented themselves at the table,
when the Town Clerk read to them the declaration and ad-
ministered the oaths.

Mr. Alderman Hale and Mr. Alderman Conder thentook
off their livery gowns and their chains of office, with which
they respectively invested their successors.
Mr. Sheriff Gabriel and Mr. Phillips then presented the
Under Sheriffs, who, kneeling-, took the usual oaths of
office, and the Hall was then dissolved. Finally the sheriffs,
with their under sheriffs, and the late sheriffs, proceeded to
one of the rooms in Guildhall, 'when the latter made over
the prispners in their charge to the sheriffs ; and the keepers
of the several prisons delivered the keys of the same to the
sheriffs, which were returned to them upon the execution of
bonds for the due performance of their office.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-( THIS DAT.)

CLERKENWELL COUNTY COURT.
(Before Sergeant Jones.)
THE STRIKE.-ALLEGED DETIZNTION OF TOOLS.--HATHA-

WAY V. GLENN.-DAY V. GLENN.-GLAIZE V. GLENN.

Plaintiffs are three carpenters, and defendant is a master
builder, by whom they had been employed. The actions
were brought to recover ss. 6d. for detaining plaintiffs'
tools, by which it was alleged each of the plaintiffs had
lost a job. It appeared that the plaintiffs had some objec-
tion to work under a foreman, and called upon defendant to
discharge him. Upon this being refused a strike ensued,
and Hathaway, whose case was first heard, alleged that
when he went for his tools they were detained.
His Honour—Where are they ?

Mr. Jay (for defendant)-oh, sir, they have been given
up. They were not detained. My client only refused to
allow the plaintiffs to go into the workshop until the other
men returned from dinner, as a great quantity of tools wore
lying about.

His Honour (to Hathaway)—You had better withdraw
case.

Mr. Jay—l beg you will not allow him to do so. They
will go on suing my client until he is ruined.
His Honour—lf such doings were permitted all business
in the world would be at an end. It is not to be tolerated
that a master is to be dictated to as to the choice of a fore-
man. Defendant will have a verdict with costs.

In Day's case a similar order was made. Glaize with-
drew.

His Honour—That is very wise, and I trust all these
petty bickerings will soon be at an end.
Mr. Glenn—l do not want any costs, your Honour.
His Honour—lt will be recorded that you had costs, and
you can enforce it or not as you like.

THIS DAYS MA.RICETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The supply of English wheat here to-day was moderate.
Good and fine samples were disposed of at Monday's cur-
rency; but other kinds were dull in sale at barely late rates.
The amount of business doing in foreign wheat was ra-
ther limited ; nevertheless, compared with Monday, no
change took place in the quotations.
