SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
GLOBE.—The coloured man, Fraser—whose
affecting case of complicated distress and suffering,
as described by himself on an application for relief
to the magistrate at Queen-square Police-office, and
published in the newspapers, had called forth
strong sympathy, and produced a considerable
subscription for his relief—has proved to be a
heartless impostor, and his tale of woe a tissue
of falsehoods. It appears that some doubts of
Frazer's sincerity had been produced in the
mind of Mr. Bond, the magistrate, in consequence
of a letter, signed " Justitia, ' in which the writer
suggested that the party was the same who, by a
1 similar tale—but varied so as to show, if Fraser and
the individual he alluded to were identical, that the
representations he made were false and fraudulent—
had imposed on him some months ago. These suspi-
cions were communicated by Mr. Bond to Frazer, who
was questioned by Mr. B. as to the circumstances
mentioned in the letter. The fellow stoutly de-
nied any knowledge of the circumstances, and ad-
hered to his original story. Mr. Bond observed
that he would not act upon anonymous infor-
mation, especially where the statements were
positively denied by the person accused. The pub-
lication of the proceedings has, however, brought
forth further proofs of the imposture • and Dr. Ayton,
of Soho, yesterday put the matter beyond all doubt
by calling at the Police-office and requesting to see
Frazer, whom he strongly suspected of being the
same fellow who three years ago endeavoured to im-
pose on him. The applicant's evasion of close ques-
tions, and refusal to give any reference to persons
who could substantiate his tale, created suspicions of
his truth, and he declined to relieve him. On Frazer's
being introduced to Dr. Ayton, the worthy Doctor
immediately recognised him as the individual who
had endeavoured to work on his sympathies. The
account, as given in the report of the proceedings, is
quite a scene :
"Frazer entered the hearing-room, and was imme-
diately recognised by Dr. Ayton as the person of whom
he had spoken.
" Frazer appeared very confused on Dr. Ayton put-
ting the question—' Don't you remember having paid me
a visit at No. 1, Frith-street ?' and after much hesitation
replied that he did.
" Dr. Ayton, after repeating the story above given,
asked him if he did not say that he wanted to return to
his family at Guiana ?
" Frazer, whose confusion increased, replied that he
did not say ho had got a colonial appointment there,
and added that he (Dr. Ayton) gave him nothing."
" Dr. Ayton replied he knew he had not, because he
would give no references as to the truth of his account.
He now pronounced him, in the presence of the magis-
trate, to be an impostor.
" Mr. Bond, addressing Frazer, said, he had particu-
larly pressed him as to whether he ever had any inten-
tion of going to Guiana, or had ever said so, and in an-
swer to his repeated inquiries he declared he never had.
" Frazer hung down his head.
" Mr. Bond ordered him to withdraw."
The timely detection of this impudent impostor—
who, it appears from numerous letters addressed to
the magistrate, has been levying contributions on
the charitable for some years—has prevented his
obtaining more than a small portion of the moneys
sent to the office for his use and benefit. But
we must confess our surprise that, on the full
detection of his imposture, Frazer was merely
ordered by the magistrate to withdraw. He ought
certainly to have bean ordered into custody, and com-
mitted as a rogue and vagabond, if not prosecuted
as a cheat, who had obtained money under false
pretences. While distress abounds, as it does, in
this vast metropolis, it is gratifying to find that where
a case of well-authenticated suffering is brought be-
fore the public, subcriptions are usually forwarded
from different parts of town and country for its relief.
It, however, becomes the duty of those who consent to
receive and apply such subscriptions to investigate
the cases, in order to test their truth. Such fellows
as Frazer arrest tha current of benevolence, by excit-
ing doubts respecting the reality of accounts of genuine
distress. Of all impostors, those who impose on the
benevolent feelings of the charitably disposed, by tales
of pretended suffering, are, when detected, the most
deserving of punishment. We still hope that the
heartless vagabond whose case we have alluded to will
not escape.
STANDARD.—As we anticipated, the promotion
of Mr. Erie to the bench is made the subject of com-
plaint with that part—we rejoice to say a contempti-
bly small part—of the Conservative party who, by
their own confession, have taken their side in politics
principally with a view to make profit of their politi-
cal profession. " The Government," says the worthy
organ of this respectable band of mercenaries, " began
in Ireland with a certain Mr. Howley, who was pro-
moted for no reason that any one could find out, ex•
cept that he was a Whig. The same thing may be said
of the appointment of Mr. Erle to the bench, for,
although he is very unlike Mr. Howley in re-
spect to the public recognition of his fitness for pro-
motion in a professional sense, yet, with all deference
' to him, there are several mien of Conservative politics
at the bar, equally competent with him to discharge
the office °fin judge." The Government " began in
Ireland" with Mr. Sergeant Howley, and the Go-
vernment could not make a wiser, or more auspi-
cious beginning. Mr. Howley may be a Whig
fur anyting we know to the contrary, or he may
be a Conservative ; he is, we know, certainly a
Roman Catholic. If, however, he is a Whig,
the Whig Goverament neglected for eleven
years the claims of a gentleman whose pro-
motion would be an honour to any party, and that
was a kind of honour of which the Whig Govern-
ment stood very much in need ; we are, therefore,
inclined to suspect that Mr. Howley is not a Whig.
Be that, however, as it may, Mr. Howley's claims
upon the gratitude of the Queen's Government, whe-
ther Whig or Conservative, were the very highest
that could be offered by any man. He was for many
years the most hard-worked provincial judge
in Ireland, presiding at the sessions of the
most turbulent county in the island, Tipperary.
To the faithfal discharge of his duty he sa-
crified a respectable and rapidly improving
practice at the bar, and not only did he work hard,
he did his work well, according to the unanimous
testimony of those of all parties who were the wit-
nesses to his judicial conduct. Repeatedly have we
ourselves been called upon by Conservative gentle-
men of his county to give publicity to his sessional
charges, distinguished alike by their ability and their
tendency to promote peace and the love of order in
a lawless and half-savage population ; and this has oc-
curred at a time when, under a Whig Government,
such notices were more likely to obstruct than to
advance his promotion. Now we say, observing the
distinction that we have taken above, between the
gratitude due by the Queen's Government gene-
rally, and partisan Government of any kind, that it
were a criminal neglect in any Government to over-
look such merits. Something surely is to be allowed
for services to the Queen and the country, though
these services are not rendered through any
party ? But Mr. Howley is a Roman Catholic.
Was not this a most fortunate circumstance in the
case ? Was it not a happy contingency, that at
the very time when Whigs and Repealers sought
to recruit their ranks by solemn assurances
that Roman Catholics, of all classes and
denominations and degrees of merit, were
to be proscribed and persecuted, a Roman Catholic
gentleman was found with such claims from talent,
character, and services, that by promoting him the
Conservative Ministers were in a condition to give
the lie to their incendiary calumniators ? How se-
verely the blow was felt by both Whigs and Re-
pealers, is proved by the alacrity with which they
united with the mercenaries in raising a clamour
against Mr. Howley's appointment to the coif.
We pass by with contempt the insinuated sneer
against Mr. Howley's competency. That gentle-
man's learning and talent are universally acknow-
ledged by those best qualified to judge of both, and
'to judge of his pretensions. We come to Mr. Erle,
whose competency is admitted base it would be
as useless to dispute it in this country, where he
is known, as to dispute Mr. Howley's compe-
tency in the country that has witnessed the Learned
Sergeant's career. But, says the organ of the mer-
cenaries, though Mr. Erle is competent, there are
others as competent. Doubtless—but would these
others, Mr. Erle's equals in competency and in
standing at the bar, take the office conferred upon
him ? Would Mr. Erle himself take it, supposing
him a Whig, were his friends in office, or likely to
come into office ? We think not. This calls for a
little explanation. According to the rule adopted of
late years, and adopted, as we are persuaded, upon
good grounds, there is no promotion of puisne judges
to the chief seats. These are usually filled by the
Attorney or Solicitor-General, as vacancies occur. A
lawyer is therefore " shelfed," according to the phrase,
when promoted to a puisne judgeship. Nobody ever
dreamed of naming Sir William Follett, Sir
Frederick Thesiger, or their probable successors,
for the late vacancy, because every one knows
that a chiefshin is the object of ambition with
a first-rate lawyer, or one who thinks himself such ;
and this object is attainable only in ordinary cases by
passing through the office of Attorney or Solicitor-
General. It is upon this ground, we presume, that Mr.
Erle did not solicit a puisne judgeship from the Whigs,
who, absit invidia, promoted some gentlemen of very in-
ferior pretensions to his ; and it is upon this ground we

say that Mr. Erle (supposing him a Whig) would
not now accept a puisne judgeship were his friends
in office, or likely to be in office. But if none
of his equals in professional competency and
standing would accept of the seat conferred upon
Mr. Erle, how was the Government to act ? Was
it to descend to men of inferior profession com-
petency and standing, rather than promote a poli-
tical opponent, though a very moderate politician ?.
Would this be to do justice either to the country or
to the profession ? We believe that the public will
not say that it would. But the lawyers, we are told,
abstained from voting at the late London election,
from a consideration of the too great liberality of
the Government in dispensing its patronage. This is
a self-contradicted falsehood. At the late Lon-
don election the Conservative lawyers had nothing
to complain of on this head—for nearly all the legal
appointments, if not absolutely all, from Sir Robert
Peel's accession to office, has been of Conservatives,
upon this good reason, that the majority of the bar are
Conservative ; and the late Government had provided
for all their best men who would take the offices
that happened to fall vacant. The imputation cast
upon the bar by our Contemporary is not only
false, it is libellous. The members of the bar are
not political mercenaries, as the organ of the mer-
cenaries would represent them. They are indepen-
dent gentlemen, and the reason why some of them
did not vote at the late London election was, that the
election occurred in the vacation, when they were
out of town ; many of them out of tlike kingdom. We
hope that we have said enough upon Mr. Erie's ap-
pointment. The interests of the country are not served
by keeping alive controversy upon such subjects.

had witnessed the prisoners' conduct, followed them
to the station, and pelted the prisoners with mud. Mr.
Jobson's eye was greatly inflamed, and his mouth and
nose bleeding when witness came up. his face was
also much swollen. Mr. Jobson was perfectly sober.
The prisoners, in defence, denied having used the
obscene language sworn to by Mr. Jobson, but ad-
mitted having used the words stated by the lady. Mr.
Jobson called them bad names, blackguards, &c. The
mob pelted them with mud.
Mr. COMBE said the conduct of the prisoners was
most disgraceful and most cowardly. The person
who would be base enough to grossly insult an unof-
finding lady, would be coward enough to treat the
complainant in the manner described. Ile had in-
tended to send the case to the sessions, but would deal
with it summarily, and fine the prisoners 51. each, or
two months imprisonment.

WORSHIP -STREET.
Yesterday Mrs.. Martha Brassington, the school.
mistress of the Bethnal-green Union Workhouse,
was summoned before Mr. Broughton upon a charge
of having ill-treated one of the children under her
care, named Jane Kingston, ten years of age.
It appeared from the girl's statement that she had
been for a considerable period in the workhouse, of
which her parents, with four of their children besides
herself, were also inmates. She had been only three
weeks under the care of the defendant, who had
beaten her during that time on several occasions.
On the evening of the 15th of October last, after par-
taking of supper, consisting of bread and cheese, with
the rest of the children, she went into the scullery to
procure a draught of water, not having been supplied
with any at the table, when a girl named Gornder,
who was employed in washing up the tins, told her
that she had no business in that apartment, and
threatened that she would report her conduct to the
mistress. The defendant soon afterwards came up
stairs, and on being made acquainted with her con-
duct, she struck her several severe blows with her
hand on the back and shoulders. The defendant
then ordered her to go down on her knees and beg her
pardon, and although she immediately did so, the
beating was afterwards renewed, and she was finally
sent to bed. On the following morning she went to
her mother, who was separated from her in another
part of the building, and acquainted her of the ill-
usage she had received.
The girl's mother stated that she was first made ac-
quainted with the facts by another child who wit-
nessed the infliction of the punishment, but whose
name she declined to mention, as the defendant had
threatened to beat her informant in a similar manner
if she could discover her. On examining the child's
person, she found that her back and shoulders were
completely black and blue, and covered with bruises.
She immediately complained to Mr. Fairfield, the
master, of the ill-treatment the child had sustained,
when that person told her if it had been he instead of
the governess, he would have beaten her ten times
worse. Witness then told him that she would go be-
fore a magistrate and seek redress, and demanded her
'
discharge for that purpose, but the master at first re-
fused to grant it, and told her that if she did go before
a magistrate she should go in the workhouse garb,
but he ultimately allowed her to leave the house. She
requested the master, immediately after the child had
been ill-used, that he would allow it to remain with
her, but he positively refused to do so until all the
marks on her person had disappeared, when her re-
quest was complied with, and the child had been since
excluded altogether from the school. The witness
added, that in consequence of her interference on
behalf of the child, she had been since compelled to
work at the wash-tub, although she had a child at the
breast, and that the only food allowed her was dry
bread and water, or occasionally some gruel.
Rowland, the summoning officer, deposed that he
examined the child's person the day after the occur-
rence, and found its back and shoulders impressed
with finger marks, and very much discoloured.
In reply to the charge, the defendant said that the
complainant was a very forward and disobedient child,
who was constantly infringing the regulations of the
house ; and that having done so on the present occa-
sion, she had certainly given her a few trifling slaps on
the back, but felt confident that no marks could have
resulted from them.
The defendant called four girls, inmates of the
establishment, who proved that the complainant had
infringed the rules of the house on the occasion alluded
to, and who described the conduct of the defendant as
being uniformly kind and indulgent towards the chil-
dren under her control.
Mr. BROUGHTON said that there was great diffi-
culty in deciding on cases of this description, but he
was clearly of opinion that the defendant had, in the
present instance, gone beyond the bounds of modera-
tion in the punishment she had inflicted on the child,
and he should require her to enter into her own re-
cognizance in 301., and find two sureties in 201. each,
1:o answer the charge at the sessions.
BROMLEY.

Jas. Leech, a man in the employ of Mr.P. 11. Dyke,
one of the magistrates for Kent, attended before Sir
C. Farnaby, the Rev. T. Scott, and Mr. Goodhart,
to answer an information laid under the Assessed-tax
Act, charging him with being upon certain lands
belonging to Mr. Fox and Sir John Lubbock, with
a dog and gun, in pursuit of game, without having a
certificate, for which offence he had forfeited a
penalty of 201.
Mr. Fox, a brewer, and the owner of some land at
Farnborough, deposed that on the day named in the
information he was in one of his fields and he heard
a shot fired, and a few minutes afterwards he observed
a dog apparently hunting for game. Shortly after-
wards he saw the defendant, who had a double-barrel
gun, go from the field into a plantation which ad-
joined it, belonging to Sir John Lubbcck, and the
defendant asked him if he had seen the rabbit he shot
at. Witness told him he had no business to shoot on
his land, and defendant denied that he had done so,
adding that he had leave to shoot upon Sir John
Lubbock's property. Witness had since, how-
ever, written, to Sir John, and ascertained that the
defendant's statement was not true.
Sir C. FARNABY observed that the mere consent
was not sufficient. It had been stated over and over
again that there must be an express command or
authority.
The defendant denied that he had shot upon Mr.
Fox's land, and said that with regard to Sir John
Lubbock's, he had the permission of that gentleman
to shoot all the rabbits he could, on account of the
depredations and mischief they committed upon the
crops.
Mr. Dyke here said he should wish to put the
Bench in possession of what he knew upon that
matter, and he was accordingly sworn. He then
stated that the defendant was jointly employed by him-
self and Dr. Taste to look over their property, and
as they had been planting very largely, he had in-
structions to destroy all the rabbits he could, on ac-
count of the injury they did the crops He had
asked Sir John Lubbock, whose property adjoined
theirs, whether he desired to preserve the game ; and,
as he was a large planter also, he very readily agreed
that he had no desire to do so, and expressed his wil-
lingness to concur with them in destroying the rab-
bits with which they were *so much infested, and
which, as the Bench were well aware, did so much
damage to the crops. Ile had, therefore, given the
defendant orders to destroy all the rabbits he could,
and he was sure that Sir John Lubbock was no party
to the present proceeding, as his servants and the de-
fendant had frequently acted together to effect the very
object which was now sought to be complained of.
The Rev. Mr. bCOTT observed that where land was
planted, rabbits, no doubt, did a great deal of mischief.
Mr. Dyke said they were overrun with them, and
they occasioned very great injury.
Sir C. FARNABY asked the complainant whether he
saw Leach actually shoot upon his land ?—The com-
plainant replied that he did not, but he saw his dogs
hunting about in pursuit of game, and he contended
that was sufficient.
Sir C. FARNABY expressed his opinion that, under
the circumstances, they could not convict, and he at
the same time observed that if the complainant had
any plantations he would no doubt be very glad to
have the rabbits killed.
The other magistrates concurred in the view taken
of the matter by Sir C. Farnaby, and the informa-
tion was accordingly dismissed.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] A CERTAIN CURB FOR
ASTHMA BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—Read the following
case :—James Holmes, a cotton-spinner, residing at
Ancoates, Manchester, had been asthmatical for these
last three years; he was frequently so bad, that when
rising from his bed he could scarcely speak or draw his
breath, and would cough and spit for half-an-hour toge-
ther, and often thought he should be choked; he was
much reduced in strength, and after every other means
of cure failed he used these wonderful pills, which have
removed every symptom of asthma, and he is now as
free from it as -when be was a child.—Sold (also

THE CRESCENT AND THE CROSS; oR, ROMANCE
AND REALITIES OF EASTERN TB AVEL.—Under the
above title, a work is immediately forthcoming from the
pen of Eliot Warburton, Esq., which is likely to supply
a want long felt by the English public as regards the
East. The writer announces that " The work is in-
tended to convey in a popular form all the information
most required by the general reader, and the Oriental
traveller, on the subjects of which it treats. The author
has visited Egypt, Nubia, Palestine, Damascus, and the
Lebanon, the Coast and Islands of Asia Minor, Con-
stantinople, Greece, and the lonian Islands. He has
interwoven with his personal adventures the most recent
information appertaining to the state of those countries,
especially as regards the condition of Egypt, the tribes
of the Lebanon, and the Church of England mission at
Jerusalem. The Overland Passage to India is in par-
ticular treated of, and the appendix will contain the
most accurate information for the guidance of travellers."
There was not a single arrival yesterday—a very
unusual circumstance—at the port of Liverpool, and but
one from a foreign port on Saturday.—Liverpool Albion.
