PROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE,
FOR
HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN,
14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.C.
Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the
destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the
nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches.
At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor
from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that
they are homeless and starving. The Manager, &c.,
receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand-
ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each
night numbers of young women, children, and orphans
are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and have
to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To
meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda-
tion, £2,000 has been raised. but to accomplish the
work a sum of at least 1,1,000 more will be required.
Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it
is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur-
pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families
in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and
accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give
shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really
starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome,
and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will
be offered in your behalf.
SUBSCRIPTIONS are earnestly requested, and will be
gratefully received by the Rev. D. GILBERT D.D., No. 22,
Finsbury-circus E.C.

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY._
The fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all
deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TES;TH are of
vital importance from availing themselves of the services of
a dentist. In a practice founded In 1830 and now exi ending
over greater part of the kingdom, An experience unequalled
has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensi-
tive sufferer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute
freedom from pain, a specialite tertaining only to our prac-
tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters
patent. This system embraces the non-interference with all
stumps, however decayed, the supporting instead of extrac-
tion of loose teeth until they become firm and useful in mas-
tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so
that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of
pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur-
able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced.
Consultation free. Teeth from ss. sets from 5 to 25 go.,
warranted.

For the efficacy, utility, and success of this system, vido
"Lancet."

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF TAKING FORCIBLE POSSESSION
AND PULLING DOWN A Housr.—Henry Holmes, the elder,
Henry Holmes, the younger, Samuel Holmes, Alfred
Holmes, and Joseph Ashford were indicted for maliciously
damaging a house. There were several counts varying
the offence. Henry Holmes, the younger, did not surren-
der at the commencement of the case.

Mr. Montagu Williams prosecuted ; Mr. Kemp defended
the prisoners.
It appeared that Mr. Alfred Samuel Moon Vospor in
1863 purchased some promises for a term of years in Morn-
ington-road, Bow, where he carried on the business of a
manufacturer of sulphuric acid. In 1863 ho let a house at-
tached to the factory to Henry Martin liadloff, as tenant
from year to year. In 1864 Radloff got into pecuniary
difficulties, and the business was carried on by two per-
sons named Terry and Watts, inspectors under the autho-
rity of the Court of Bankruptcy. In March, 1865', during
the absence of Mr. Vospor, two of the Holmes family and
another man went to the premises, representing that they
had come from the Excise authorities, and not only took
possession of the premises, but locked themselves in. They
put themselves in a state of defence, and barricaded the
house against all comers. They defied all who might
come to dislodge them. They did not stop there, for they
went to the Perseverance Oil Works, belonging to Mr.
Vospor, and took possession of them. While these per-
sons had got possession of the premises and continued to
occupy the house, they used the water that Mr. Vospor
had to pay for, they used his gas, and they broke up doors
and even furniture of the house, which they burnt as fuel.
An action was brought by the inspectors of the Court of
Bankruptcy to recover possession of the Perseverance Oil
Works, and as there was substantially no title set up by
the Holmes family to the property, a writ of ejectment was
ordered to issue, but unfortunately that did not include a
dwelling-house also on the same premises. A few days
after this, on Mr. Vospor going to the premises on the sth
of March, he found Henry and Samuel Holmes on the roof
of the dwelling-house taking the bricks from the parapet,
throwing bricks into the chimneys, unroofing the house,
smashing the windows, breaking up the window sills, and
breaking up the brickwork underneath. Henry Brown,
foreman, also proved that he saw Henry Holmes, jun.,
chopping the timber off the roof, and Samuel Holmes was
stripping off the lead, which was lowered into a van. The
van was driven off, and on being asked by a bystander
what they were going to do with it, Samuel Holmes said
they were going to take it to sell ; but, a policeman coming
up, the van and lead were taken to the Poplar police-sta-
tion. The house was completely demolished, and injury
done to the amount of between £2OO and £3OO.

There were many witnesses ready to be examined, but
as Mr. Kemp, who appeared for the prisoners, said he did
not dispute the facts,
Mr. Williams said that was the case for the prosecution.
Mr. Kemp then addressed the jury for the prisoners, and
said this was a case of disputed possession, and ought to
have been tried at civil law. The Holmes family had
lived in the neighbourhood for 200 year; and, whether
rightly or wrongly, they believed they had a legal right to
this property.
The jury acquitted Henry Holmes, son., and found all the
other prisoners guilty.
nexTthsee Assistant-Judge
James Wheeler was indicted for stealing a quantity ofnt-Judge deferred passing sentence until the
boots, the property of Kauffman Grunbaum, his master ;
and Susannah James for receiving them, well knowing
them to have been stolen.
Wheeler pleaded guilty, and no evidence was offered
against James, who was acquitted by the jury.
Mr. Collins prosecuted ; Mr. M. Williams appeared for
Wheeler.
The prosecutor is a wholesale shoe dealer, carrying on
business in Crown-street, Finsbury, and Wheeler was in his
service as foreman, and the prosecuter on taking stock
found himself deficient of goods to the value of between ,E7OO
and £BOO. It was traced that goods had been stolen by the
prisoner, and some of them had been sold to a Mr. Redding-
ton, a boot and shoe dealer in Southgate-road. Entries of
purchases to a large amount were found in his books from
the prisoner.
Mr. Collins asked, as there were other charges against
the male prisoner, that sentence should be deferred until
the next sessions. _ _ _

The Assistant-Judge ordered the witness Reddington to
stand forward, and said he had received a prescidatioa
the grand jury to the effect that
they considered his conduct
most blameable, if not criminal, in buying such large quan-
tities of shoes from this man ; and to give effect to the
observations of the grand jury, he should refuse him any
expenses, and he cautioned him as to what he was about, for
if he came there again it would be remembered against
him. He also found in the same presentation of the grand
jury a recommendation that police-constable Miller, 148 U,
should receive an acknowledgment at the hands of the Court
for his truly meritorious services, and the great intelligence
