BETTING IN BRIDE•LANA _FLEET
STREE7'.

Aldeputation from the parish of St. Bride waited
upon the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion House, to
call' is attention to the annsyances and inconveni-
ences to which the inhabitants of Bride-lane, with
some portions of Bridge-street and Fleet-street, are
expnsed in consequence of the congregation there
of crowds of men for betting purposes. The deputa-
tioni consisted of the Rev. C. Marshall, Mr. Church-
warden Dodd, Mr. R. F. Dale, Mr. Jewell, Mr.
James, Mr. Blandon, Mr. H. Attwood Smith
(vestry clerk), and Mr. Deputy Obbard.
r. SMITH, in introducing the subject to his
lordship, said—We are come, my lord, as a deputa-
tion from the parish of St. Bride to call you atten-
tion to the very serious inconvenience to which tho
inhabitants of Bride-lane, that part of Fleet-street
being between Bride-lane and Bridge-street; and
a portion of Bridge-street itself, are exposed ,
from the- daily congregation there of crowds of
men, who, from the books which they carry in
their hands and the tone of their conversation,
no doubt assemble there for the purpose of gambilng
and betting. You are, of course, aware, my
lord, that an act was recently passed to pro-
hibit gambling and betting in public houses and
other buildings, but the practice has now assumed
another character, for these men carry on their
operations in the open air. They have for a long
while selected more particularly Bride-lane and
Bride-court, where they assemble in such numbers
that the tradesmen living there suffer most seriously
in their trade, since their customers are frequently
afraid to pass through such a crowd. The evil has
now reached to such a height that we are now
here as a deputation from the parish to ask your
lordship whether there is any law which will meet
the ease, and if so, whether your lordship
.will un-
dertake to put that law into operation ?
The LORD MAYOR—If you will show me such a
law I shall be obliged to you.
Mr. SMITH—We understand it is contrary to the
law to obstruct a public thoroughfare.
The LORD MAYOR—But you immediately see the
difficulty of applying the law of obstruction to such
a complaint. Here is a man simply standing on the
pavement, or on the roadway. How can you in-
terfere with him ? •
Mr. SMITH—We feel the full difficulty of the
case; for we admit that the liberty of the subject
is a matter not lightly to be touched. But we sub-
mit to you that this obstruction is caused wilfully,
and for an improper purpose.
The LORD MAYou—Well, I shall be very glad
if you will show me a 'law to deal with the
subject. I shall most willingly put it into ope-
ration. I believe the attention of the Police
Commissioner, as well as of the magistrates,
has been already called to this nuisance; but it is
better for you and a deputation from the parish to
wait upon the magistrates. Bride-lane, however,
is out of my jurisdiction ; it belongs to the Guild-
hall district.
Mr. GOODMAN (chief clerk.)--There was once a
very wholesome law, that any person who shall
hinder or obstruct the footway should be liable to
a penalty of £5, but that law was repealed in 1849.
The LORD MAYOR.--I think the best way will
be for the inhabitants to request these men to move
off, and then, if they refuse to do so, we will see if
steps can be taken to compel them. I had heard
of this nuisance, and one day, when passing, I went
through Bride-lane, and what I saw then was quite
enough to convince me that the business of the
tradesmen there must be seriously affected by it.
Mr. Deputy OBBARD.—I asked a policeman one
day how many men he thought were collected
there, and he said 250, and you may.judge of the
inconvenience arising from so many people being
collected in so confined a thoroughfare. Here are
two gentlemen who live at the comer of Bride-lane,
and who have a good many country customers ; and
the other day a customer went to one of their shops
and said he should come no more, for he was afraid
to pass through the crowd, and always had to but-
ton up his pockets. Ido not know whether there
was really any occasion for him to button up his
pockets.
The LORD MAYOR.—No ; but he thought 'there
was

[ADVERTISEMENT.)— SIGHT AND HEARING. SPEC.
TACLES,—POWERFUL TELESCOPES.—OPERA, RACE, AND
PERSPECTIVE GLASSES. —Messrs. S. and B. Solomons,
opticians, 39, Albermarle-Street, Piccadilly. Observe—
opposite the York Hotel, W.—Opera, Race-course, Field:
and general Out-door Day and Night Perspective Glasses,
very small, for the waistcoat pocket, each containing 12 and
18 lenses, constructed of German glass. Will show dis-
tinctly a person to know them at two-and-a-half and three
miles, and an object from eight to ten miles distant. Her
Majesty's Coast Guards are making use of them as dayand
night glasses in preference to all others; they are also pre-
ferred for deer-stalking b sportsmen, gentlemen, and
gamekeepers. Telescopes 3f inches long, by which a per-
son may be clearly seen and known at 3f miles' and an
object at 12 to 14 miles' distance; and with an extra astro-
nomical eye-piece, Jupiter's moons, Saturn's rings, and
the double stars are distinctly seen. All the above can be
had of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers, and
are secured liy her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent.
The Royal Exhibition, 1851. A valuable, newly-
invented, very small, powerful Waistcoat-pocket Glass,
the size of a walnut, by which a person can be seen
and, known one and a half mile distant. They answer
every pin-pose on the Race-course and at the Opera •
houses. Country scenery and ships are clearly seen
at four to six miles. They are invaluable for shooting,
deer-stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, game-
keepers, and tourists. Price 30s.—Spectacle Lenses of the
greatest transparent power. The great advantage derived
from this invention is, that vision becoming impaired is
preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons are
enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occupation
—can see with those lenses of a much less magnifying
power, and they do not require the frequent changes to the
dangerous effects of further powerful assistance. Persons
can be suited at the most remote part of the world by send-
ing one of the glasses out of their spectacles in a letter, and
stating the distance from the eyes they can read small print
with it, and those who have not made use of spectacles by
statin.gtheirage. Deafness.—New Discovery.—The Organic
Vibrator, an extraordinarily powerful small newly-invented
instrument for Deafness, entirely different from all others,
surpasses anything of the kind that has been, or probably
ever can be, produced. Being of the same colour as the
skin, is not perceptible. It enables deaf persons to hear
distinctly at church and at public assembhes ; the unplea-
sant sensation of singing noises in the ears is entirely re •
moved, and it affords all the assistance that possibly could
be desired.-39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. Observe—
apposite the York Hotel, W.

•
The Rev. Mr. MARSHALL—Your lordship will be
better able to form an opinion as to the extent of
the nuisance when I tell you that the place is often
quite as full as this court is now. You can only
get through by pushing, as when in a crowd.
The LORD MAYOR—By the operation of the law,
these persons have been driven out of the public-
houses and other places, and now they take to the
streets.

Mr. SMITH—Is it too much to ask your lordship
to take the opinion of the City law officers on the
subject ?
The LORD MAYOR—I will give the case my best
consideration, and if the nuisance can be put down,
it shall be.

A DEPUTY—We are often taken away from our
business, my Lord, to ask these men if they
•11

will move on. Sometimes they do so, to
come back again directly ; but at other times
they load us with abuse, if they see that there is no
policeman near. It would be a serious inconvenience

to us, even if they were all gentlemen ; but when
you take into consideration that they are a mixture
of the lowest of the low, your lordship will see
how very serious is the inconvenience, to say the
least of it, to which we are exposed.
The LORD MANDR—WeII, I again promise you
that I will take the whole matter into my most
serious consideration, and that if anything can be
done it shall be.

The deputation then thanked his lordship and
retired.

Thi;O7..ENVILLE V. RICHARDSON AND WIFE..
s was an action tr, recover damages for a libel,
Tle defendants pleaded not guilty, and justification.
Mr. E. James, Q.C., and Mr. Roll, were counsel
for the plaintiff; Mr. Sergeant • Shee appeared for
the defendants.
Mr. James said 'the plaintiff in this action was
Miss' Pauline Grenville, the daughter of an eminent
physician in Curzon-street, Mayfair, and the defen-
dant! Mr: Charles Richardson, was a solicitor • and
the fiction was brought to recoyr.:r damages for a
libel; that had been published by his wife, and
which was contained in cer#.,ain letters and a
printed pamphlet, both of wlitch contained matter
that i most seriously reflex, upon the •charac-
that ter
tin gof the plaintiff. Tale declaration alleged
I consequence Of these libellous state-
ments a marriage tl'rat was in contemplation
between the plalntiff and a gentleman of posi-
tion and aI
c.-elWyniwa had been broken off, and
she Was compelled to bring the 'present action to
vindicate tier character from the serious asersions
that ;had been cast upon it by the statemenpts that
1
well contained in the libels in question. The de-
fendants had "pleaded not guilty under justification,
but he was happy to inform the jury that an tin ante-
ment had been ,come to between the parties, the
precise- nature of which would be explained to, them
by his learned friend Sergeant Shee, who appeared
for the defendants, but the effect would be that all.
imputations upon the character of the plaintiff
would be entirely withdrawn, and that there would
be an expression of regret that under a misappre-
hension of - the facts any such statements should
have been made ; the defendants would at the same
time consent to a verdict with £l,OOO damages
passing against them.
•
Sergeant Shee said that on the part of Mrs. Rich-
ardsbn he was instructed to state that, under feel-
ings' of irritation, caused by imputations which she
was informed had been thrown upon her character
by Miss Grenville, but which that young lady
wholly repudiated, she 'wrote the letters for which
the (present action was brought. At the time
theso letters were written, however, she believed
that the matters contained in them were true ; but,
finding that she had been misled into that belief by
perspns whom she had since ascertained to be
totally unworthy of credit, she had now no hesita-
tionlin expressing her regret at having made them.
Understanding at the same time that the state-
ments referred to had undoubtedly been the cause
of great distress of mind to Miss Grenville, and at
the Same time had also caused her some actual in-
juryi, she made rio difficulty as to the amount of
compensation T
sua cested, and would" therefore con-
sent to a verdict for the damages claimed.
The jury thereupon returned a verdict for the
plai 'tiff—damages £l,OOO.
The nature of !the alleged libel was of course not
furter alluded to, but it was stated that part of
the arrangement between the parties was that the
whole of the letters and also the copies of the
printed pamphlet should be given up and destroyed,
