CLERKENWELL.—A great number of reecbanio,
labourers, and others, assembled in the front of this
court to seek the advice and assistance of Mr. Corrie,
in consequence of their having been refused relief by the
parish authorities of Islington. The complaining parties
had formed part of a large meeting yesterday in Smith•
field of unemployed artisans, &c., after which they pro-
ceeded in strong bodies to the parishes of Clerkenwell
and Islington to seek relies, where their number.] caused
some alarm.
George Bent, a man of respectable appearance, said
he, with a Mr. Kendall, was there, in the absence of
Mr. Macheath, to represent the aggrieved unemployed.
He (Bent) resided in George-:street, Bagnigge-weds-road,
St. Pancras.

Mr. Corrie directed that those who wished to com-
plain should be admitted into the court, when a rush
was made, and it was instantly crowded to excess.
Bent said they had applied to Islington parish, and
were refused relief, but some were relieved at Cierken-
well. They applied to his worship for advice to get
relief and assistance in a legal and peaceable way.
Mr. Kendall, a decorative painter, said be was
unemployed four and five days a week. He bad a wile
and three children, and they were starving. They
applied with others to Islington parish, and were told
they could not be relieved except from 9 to 12 o'clock in
the forenoon.

Hugh Pierce, a joiner, of 12, Caledonian-street, Is-
lington, said he was not in actual distress, but he did
not know how soon he might be. He came as the re•
presentative of those who were unemployed ; because, if
such things continued, they would lead to a revolution
in the country.
Henry Hunt, a painter and glazier, of Rosoman-street
North, said he was out of work, with a wife and three-
children. He had not a morsel of food at home, nor
looney to procure it, or he would not apply to the parish.
He applied to the parish of Islington, and was refused
relief.

Mr. Corrie—Yours is a case that I can practically
deal with. Is there any other case here
. _

A Yoice—Yee, sir, 600 here, and as many more ou
side the court.

Other statements of an equally painful nature were
made.

Mr. Corrie ordered an officer to go instantly and re-
quest the immediate.attendance at the court of oae of
the parish officers of Islington.
Mr. Hicks, a relieving officer, attended just before
the closing of the court with Mr. Bayliss, the chief usher.
Mr. Corrie suggested that the applicants should be
properly attended to and relieved, according to their
necessities.

Mr. Hicks said he would attend instantly to the mos.
urgent.

The applicants then left the court to go to the work.
house.

WORSHIP-STREET.— James P 7 allbey, alias Ph

lips, alias the Countryman, 20 years of age, well dresed,
and describing himself as a polisher, was charged befo►e
Mr. D'Eyncourt with stealing two gold watches, value
271., from the shop window of a jeweller and watchmaker,
named Wagstaff, in Brown's-lane, Spitalfields.
The prosecutor's wife proved that while sitting in a
parlour at the rear of their shop, about 11 o'clock on
Saturday night last, she heard a sudden smash of glass,
and running forward, perceived the prisoner outside
with one hand through a large broken pane of the win-
dow ; he ran off with the property named, which she
now identified ; both watches were much damaged.
Geo. Baker, a wheelwright, deposed that at the hour
named he heard repeated cries of "Stop thief," and a
loud clamour of feet. Prisoner darted by him at the
top of his speed in Montague street. Witness doubled
back and pursued, finally catching him in his arms.
Prisoner then said, "Let me go, it's all right." Wit-
ness replied, " Yes, it is all right now." Prisoner strug-
gled, in vain declaring it was only a lark, but was finally
given into the hands of a constable.
Williamson, H division, was on duty and also heard
the cry ; he caught the first man who was running ; the
prisoner quickly followed, and then the crowd who
came up said the thief had escaped. Witness let go his
capture and pursued the prisoner, whom he found strug-
gling with Baker.

TVvo other witnesses, named Mottle and James, were
heard in evidence ; the former seeing prisoner throw
away one watch, and James picking up the other on the
spot where the accused was taken.
Watts, of the N division, said he knew the prisoner,
who had been convicted of a. watch robbery some time
back, and received two years' imprisonment ; he was an
old hand.

Mr. D'Eyncourt remanded him for depositiorm.

THE IRON DISCOVERIES AT SEEND. The disco-
veries of iron in the neighbourhood of Seend, Wiltshire,
go on, and several furnaces are about to be erected at
once. Various persons are testifying their belief in the
value of these discoveries by offering fabulous prices for
land at Seend and the neighbourhood. The Duke of
Somerset and the trustees of the late Mr. Ludlow
Bruges own about half the land at Seend where the
richest ore is found, and the Duke's agent is collecting
the best information that can be obtainel in reference
to the extent and value of the iron which has been
discoveried.
