THE FREE LABOUR ASSOCIATION.—OH ThUrintlay
Colonel Maude and a deputation from the Free Labour
Registration Association, London, attended a meeting of
manufacturers, merchants, and others, in the Mayor's
Parlour, Town Hall, Manchester, and explained the
object of the association. Colonel Maude gave a history
of the foundation, objects, and progress of the association.
He stated that the association had received very limited
support, and it had been placed in an unfortunate position
in consequence of its only having been brought before the
public in times of strikes and disputes.
An old man has been sent to prison for three
months, by the Barnsley magistrates, for using an ordi-
dinary oil-lamp under circumstances which, one would
have supposed, would have rendered him alive to the
madness of his conduct. He was employed at the well-
known Oaks Colliery, and ordered to grease some shafting
where dangerous gas had accumulated. He knew that he
could work safely with the " Davy," but, with utter disre-
gard to his own safety, want to the place with an ordinary
oil-lamp. Fortunately he was observed, and the lamp ex-
tinguished, or another disastrous explosion would, in all pro-
bability, have occurred.

Mr. Clapham, a member of the Leeds Town Coun-
cil, and proprietor of the Leads Royal Park, has been
charged before the local magistrates with allowing music

had announced his intention to try the question, now ad-
mitted that he had no defence in regard to the performance'
on Saturday, but as to that on Sunday, he said the music
was sacred, not secular. The Bench considered the law had
Leen broken, and fined Mr. Clapham 205. and costs for the
offence on 'Saturday, and £5 and costs for that on Sunday.
The fin.s were paid, and Mr. Clapham intimated that he
would continue the music.

DUEL 'BETWEEN UNCLE AND NErnEw.--An en-
counter with swords took place two days back in the Bois
de Boulogne, near Auteuil, between two Bourse specu-
lators, MM. Eugene Norzy and Henry Cremieu, the
farmer being the uncle of the latter. The affair originated
in a mere trifle ; some hasty expressions uttered at the
Bourse six days before had led to an exchange of blows,
but the parties agreed to defer the duel till after the liqui-
dation. The seconds of M. Norzy were his clerk and a
writer in the Charicari, whilst those of M. Cremieu were
two officers of the line. After a short combat, the
nephew was elieluotu4e4 t44913:9AT;t4 git) aIL4I
