DOVER.

On the evening of the 19th inst., in compliance
with a numerously-signed requisition, the Mayor, S.
Esq., convened a common hall of the inhabi-
, tants of Dover, to consider the propriety of adopting
an address to ber Alajesty, asserting their attachment
to her royal person, and their indignation at the late
encroachment of the Pope of Rome, and his preten•
sion to supremacy in our land, alike inconsistent with
the honour of the Crown and the liberty of the nation.
The Town-hall was crammed in every nook and
corner, there being, we should judge, not less than
1,500 persons present. The platform was raised
upon the left side of the ball, and surrounded by
the portrait of her Majesty, supported: on each side
by the insignia of the Cinque Ports volunteers, and
surrounded by laurel, &c. The Mayor occupied the
chair, and was supported on his right by our Hon.
Member of Parliament, E. R. Rice, Esq., and on his
left, by Sir Brook Bridges, Bart., and J. P. Plumptre,
Esq., M.P. Many of the most influential townsmen
were also upon the platform. Several speeches were
delivered and resolutions in accordance with the ob-
ject of the meeting carried.

RESTORATION OF LAMBETH

CHURCH.

To effect the desirable object of restoring and beau-
tifying this venerable and once handsome edifice, the
Rev. C. B. Dalton, the rector, has, by great exertions,
succeeded in getting up voluntary contributions, by
which a great portion of the whole sum required has
been raised, and P. C. Hardwick, Esq., appointed archi-
tect thereto. He has recommended the restoration of
the open timber roofs, to throw back the front of the
galleries so as to make the seats in and under them more
available, and leave the line of pillars and arches un-
broken. The windows to be restored in Caen stone, on
the exact pattern! of -the only three which remain in
their original character. • To make use of the vacant
space ,at the .west end of the church? and re-arrange
some. of the present pews, 295‘ additional sittings will
be provided, and better eccetnmodation be secured for

OLYMPIC THEATRE.

A new farce, in one act, written by If. T. Craven,
E,q., with the title of Mind Your ~tops, was pro-
duced last night, for the first time, at this theatre.
Tne interest connected with the farce is made to
centre in Mr. Compton, who, with his usual ability,
in the character of Liadenou, a hair-dresser of Baden,
afforded considerable amusement by the arrogant and
exaggerated airs which he assumed upon being in-
formed that he was the fortunate holder of " No, 66 "
ticket in a lottery.

GERMANY.

The Berlin journals of the 30th give the following
SS the draught of the addresss of the Lower House.
In this draught the German question is mentioned
with an expression of grief respecting the inefficiency
of the measures for an arrangement of the German
Constitution.
A hope is added that the Constitution, as fore-
slodowed by the League, will sooner or later become
reality, and that in this arrangement of affairs
Prus.sia will have a suitable position.
The address protests against the regeneration of
the Federal Assembly.
In the Schleswig question the address protests
against foreign intervention, but it adds that if this
question cannot ba settled without intervention, it
hopes that all the Governmsnts of the Confederation
will combine for the purpose of terminating the con-
flict in a manner which shall protect the well-founded
rights on all sides.
The address makes no mention of the Press Law.
The Prussian troops at Cassel have been reinforced
by a detachment of 6,000 men.

BELGIUM.

BRUSSELS.—A regular •team communication is in
progress between Antwerp and New York. The re-
quisite capital, estimEed at 3,000 000/ , has already
been subscrile-ri iu Eagland. A rpoitisi ion has been
sent to all the man ufaeturers in the Prus,ian-Rhenish
provinces to cu-operate in the undertaking, and to
transport their good. and manufactures through this
channel ; five new vessels are to be built, end are to
be fitted up expressly for emigrants. Toe success
of the enterprise is looked upon as secure, as the
Belgian Government has guaranteed 4 per cent.
interest.
In the recent sittin = of the Chambers, the Minister
for Foreign Affairs, submitted the diplomatic corre
spondence with Rome relative to the Latin address
pronounced by the Pope in a private consistory,
on the 20th of May, 1850, which has excited
such great astonishment in the Cabinet, at the
displeasure expressed by the Pope at the recent
Government measure relative to national educa-
tion. In this address the Pope says that he
eannot fail to express his grief at the danger
which threatens the Roman Catholic reli.
gion in Belgium, and calls upon the King and
those who hold the reins of government to consider
as their paramount duty to protect and defend
the holy prelates and ministers of the Church.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs, in reply to a
lengthened communication from Rome upon the
subject, expresses the surprise of the Cabinet at the
reproof given by the Pope to the King and the
Government. He presumes that the said reproof
has been given in ignorance, and that the fact
has been overlooked, that in Belgium the
Stitte interferes neither with the nomination
or induction of the Roman Catholic clergy, but
pays and pensions them ; under these circumstances
the Cabinet appeals to the Pope, who has been mis-
informed of the actual state of things, and concludes
by stating that the Government of his Majesty
regrets being placed under the painful necessity of
making a decided protest at the present moment
against assertions which are in direct contradition
to existing facts. The Belgian Ambassador at Rome,
in the name of the Pope, gave a qualified explanation
of the charge of his Holiness against Belgium. After
reading the documents the Chambers passed a una-
nimous vote against the Ministers.—Anzieger Zei-
lung.

GERMAN Y.

The accounts from Germany which arrived this
morning are pacific. A letter from Frankfort, in
the Cologne Gazette, states, as from an authentic
source, that Austria has consented to the withdrawal
of the federal troops from Electoral Hesse, simul-
taneously with the retirement of the troops of
Prussia, and letters inform us that the inhabi-
tants of Cassel have caused a letter to be
addressed to the ELECTOR, soliciting him to return,
and assuring him of a friendly reception. We have
Berlin journals and letters of the 29th ult. One
of the latter state that the address of the Second
Chamber of Prussia has been adopted by the
Committee, and gives the principal passage re-
garding the dispute with Austria. It is energetic,
hut expresses a strong hope that peace will
be maintained on honourable terms to Prussia.
There is nothing in the language to excite a fear of
violent resistance to the Cabinet, provided an arrange-
ment can be made with Austria which shall not humi-
liate Prussia, or render illusory the expectations that
have been held out in favour of constitutional princi-
ples. The Prussian funds were steady on the 29th,
and with a tendency to improvement.
The Cologne Gazette states that a circular has
been addressed by Lord PALMERSTON to all the great
powers of Europe, in which he ejcpresses,a strong de-
sire to see peace maintained between Prussia and
Austria, but adds that, if war should take 'place,
England could not remain neutral, as ber interests
would 'be too nearly affected. The Cologne. Gazette
does not,, however, give its authority for the state-
ment. It; tz.— I.'f CAI:,

against parties committing perjury in the courtover
which they presided ; a magistrate in his official ca-
pacity had no authority whatever to do so.
The court having been cleared, the magistrates
remained in deliberation for some few minutes upon
the objection raised. When the doors were opened,
The Chairman said the bench were unanimou,ly
of opinion that the objection taken was untenable. By
the first section of Jervis' Act it was laid down that
"in all cases where a charge or complaint shall be
made before any one or more of her Majesty's jus•
tices of the peace that any person has committed, or
is suspected to have committed, any treason, felony,
or indictable misdemeanour, or other indictable
offence whatsoever, in every such case, if the person
so charged or complained against shall not then be in
custody, it shall be lawful to: such justice or justices
to issue his or their warrant to apprehend such person,
and to cause him to be brought before such justice to
answer such charge or complaint." The Bench con-
sidered that this clause entirely met the objection
taken by Mr. Rawlings.
Mr. Rawlings was about to raise another objection,
when

The Chairman said he wished to put a question to
Superintendent Coulson, which might, perhaps, dis-
pense with the necessity of Mr. Itgwlings proceeding.
(To Mr. Coulson)—ls Mr. Johnstone here? Mr.
Coulson-1 believe he is, Sir.

The Chairmen—Have you any other evidence than
that we are in possession of to support the complaint ?
Mr. Coulon—No, Sir.

The Chairman—Then this case is dismissed, on the
ground that there is insufficient evidence to support
the complaint. The Bench have come to this decision
in consequence of their confident belief that subor-
nation of perjury has been committed, and they are
determined that the matter shall be fully investigated.
Mr. Rawlings addressed the Bench at some
length, and complained that the prosecution had been
got up by the superintendent at the instigation of the
magistrates. His client had been confined for four
days in a police-cell, and denied all communicution
with her friends, and now she was dismissed without
even a single witness having been called. He had
never before heard of such a proceeding, and he
should take immediate measures to make those who
were answerable account for their conduct in the
matter.

The proceedings then terminated.
In consequence of some difficulty being anticipated
in the apprehension cf the girl, the police are said to
have adopted an artifice which placed her in custody
without difficulty. A man dressed in rustic attire,
with a gun in his hand, was sent into a field at the
hack of the cottage where the girl's parents reside.
He fired off the gun several times, and the girl pre-
sently came out of the cottage to see what he was
shooting at. She walked up to him, and as soon as
she came within reach the disguised officer intimated
to her that she was a prisoner, and immediately
brought her over to Brentwood.

LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1850.

Our Most Gracious SOVEREIGN, with a benevolence
becoming her august position, and according well
with the known generosity of her character, has re-
cently contributed a sum of fifty pounds towards a
subscription now getting up for the assistance of the
unfortunate Mrs. HOLLEST, of Frimley. It cannot
be forgotten under what afilicting circumstances the
lady in question was suddenly deprived of her hus-
band, by the Land of• a burglarious assassin. The
courage and presence of mind evinced by her in a po-
sition of peculiar peril were as beyond praise as the
greatness of her after misfortune was removed from
the reach of alleviation. Considering, moreover, the
excellence of the unhappy gentleman, her husband, a
clergyman of unblemished reputation, of unoffending
habits, of tranquil and religious life, and bearing in
mind also the appalling abruptness with which he
was struck down in the midst of his home, in the vigour
of health, and in the moment when death was least an-
ticipated, the event in which the subscription referred
to originated could scarcely be of a nature more cal-
culated to excite our sympathies. Condolence is un-
luckily the only reparation capable of being offered
by society to the family which its remissness has thus
lamentably plunged into affliction. That condolence
will be merely idle and ineffective unless it prove a
really practical tribute of regret, offered in
the hour of bitterest necessity to the in-
nocent victim of the outrage. After the
noble example given by the SOVEREIGN, we can-
not doubt that the project to which we are here di-
recting attention will meet with the support that
might be justly expected. A list of subscriptions,
headed with a donation of such munificence coming
from the noblest personage in the land, cannot surely
fail in extending to limits compatible with the neces-
sales of the occasion. For the sorrow under which
Mrs, IIoLLEsT is now bowed down might have be-
fallen any one amongst us as reasonably as herself. The
-sanctity of other households might as readily have
:been violated, the privacy of. „another home as easily
encroached upon; and now that she has proved the vic-
tim of, these most heinous acts of violence it becomes
the multitude to evidence the sincerity of their un-
doubted commiseration. Our household gods appeal

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

Shakspere's Richard IL was revived here last
evening for the purpose of enabling Mr. Macready to
appear in the character of the King. This is the
first time Iljr. Macready has ever appeared in this
character belbre a metropolitan audience, a circum-
stance at w hich we are somewhat surprised, as we
know that in the provinces the character of Richard
11. is one of his favourite characters, and is, moreover,
one admirably suited to his peculiar powers ; it abounds in
contrasts, an d affords abundant opportunity for the
exhibition of fiery energy alternating with the heart-
rending path' is of despair, in the delineation of which
Mr. Macreacly is unapproachable, and which last
night completely electrified the audience. In the
earlier scenes, the character of the King was deli-
neated by Mx. Macready with nice discrimination—
he was the reckless rather than the profligate
king ; even in his scenes with old Gaunt it
was evident that he was not altogethur with-
out good feeling, and that however his heart
might have been corrupted with pleasure, he was not
absolutely heartless. The great scene in the third
act, in which !the sudden revulsion from the pomp and
pride, and self-will and self-reliance of a king, to the
abject despair of an utterly ruined man, over-
whelmed, and crushed beneath the weight of his too
great calan thy, was magnificently given—full
of towering passion in the earlier portion,
and most touchingly pathetic in the latter ;
it was a perfect gem. In all the subsequent scenes
Mr. Macready was true to nature and true to Shaks•
pere; finely did he dash the despairing submission and
humility, which is the groundwork of the character,
with flashes o f ungovernable fury, with dashes of
bitter sarcasm, and with the peevish complaining
of agonised suffering, as he is alternately
moved to race by the insolence of the nobles,
chafed by tine brutality of Shrewsbury, or
annoyed by tlie, petty indignities to which he is sub-
jected; and in :the last scene in which the o'erwrought
brain of the c xptive is struggling on the verge of
madness, the ate ting of Mr. Macready was exquisitely
pathetic and true to nature ; the despairing tone and
manner in wltlich he gave "I'll hammer it out," as
he strove to collect and retain those thoughts which
but for such im effort would have escaped him, was
heartrending. Altogether the Richard 11. of Mr. Ma-
cready is fine, very fine, and ranks among the very
first of his Shakesperian impersonations. The Bo-
lingbroke of Mr. Davenport was admirable ; he has
studied the character attentively, and has exactly
conceived the Shakesperian idea of it, hiding his
worst of thoughts beneath the best of words. Mr.
Davenport gave the part of Bolingbroke with an oily
suavity of manner and expression, a mock humility
hiding an overtowering ambition, which showed that
he had carefully studied and thoroughly understood
the character which be delineated so admirably.
The other characters were all well sustained, and at the
conclusion Ur. Macready was called on. The house
was crowded.,

SOUTHWARK.

A few days ago Sarah Bennington, the wife of a
tradesman, applied for relief, being with her husband
and two young children reduced to a state of utter
destitution, in consequence of a fire which broke out
in their house, and destroyed every vestige of their
property.
The applicant, a respectable-looking woman, in
stating her misfortune, said that her husband was a
writer and grainer, and carried on business at No. 5,
Grange-place, Grange-road, Bermondsey. That on
the evening of the 19th inst., while her husband was
engaged in the front kitchen, varnishing a picture-
frame, by some means or other the stuff caught fire,
when he was in the act of placing it away in the cup-
board, and set the place in a blaze. She was up-stairs
at the moment, putting her two children to bed, and
hearing her husband cry out she ran down, leaving the
children above, and on approaching the kitchen she
saw the place in a blaze and her husband trying to ex-
tinguish it. He desired her to run up for the children,
and she returned to the room, and having snatched
them up, she descended, but owing to the dense vo-
lumes of smoke she fell senseless in the passage with
her children, and in that condition was dragged out
by some of the neighbours and saved from being
burnt. The house being a small one was soon burnt
down, and not a vestige of their furniture or her hus•
band's tools were saved, every thing being consumed;
leaving them utterly destitute and reduced to want
the common necessaries of life. She added that her
husband was severely injured in his attempt to quench
the fumes, and their misfortunes were aggravated
from the circumstance of the poor man's mind being
very much affected in consequence of the occurrence.
Mr. A'BEcKETT directed inquiries to be made in
reference to the case, and Guest, the summoning
officer, having ascertained the truth of the above state-
ment, and that the facts were far from being exag-
gerated, directed that the poor applicant should
receive a sovereign from the poor-box, observing at
the same time that he considered the case one de-
serving of public sympathy, inasmuch as it was that
of a tradesman and his wife and children being re-
duced to destitution owing to the ravages made by a
fire, from which they narrowly escaped with their

cf. the lndependance of Brussels :—" M. D'HAUTEOEL
has lett Paris; things have been arranged between
him and M. Boun.rowr, owing to the intervention of
General BARAGL'AY D'HILLIERS, who was sent to
him by the PRESIDENT of the Republic. In this case
the PRESIDENT bas acted with personal kindness. It
was represented, with some reason, to General BOUR-
JOLLY that the precedent of a Minister being held
responsible in the field for what occurred under his
administration could not be allowed to be established.
It is,not known, however, if this objection, legitimate as
it is, will be well received in the army, which is but ill-
disposed towards M. D'HAUTPOUL, and which is very
sympathetic to General BOUBJOLLY, on account of his
military services.
M. DE PEESIGNY arrived in Paris yesterday, from
Berlin.

The Evinernent states that M. GENT, who had
been arrested at Lyons, has been liberated. If we
needed any proof that this alleged conspiracy was
altogether a " sham," concocted by the police for the
gratification of certain hatreds, we should find it in
the fact that an actress in one of the Parisian theatres
has been arrested on a charge of complicity in this
Lyons conspiracy. Actresses are the last persons
in the world to turn conspirators, and it is
not in the coulisses of a theatre that the
Red Republicans would beat up for recruits.
The lady has, probably, been "cruel" to some one in
authority, andlis caged to make her compliant ; such
treatment of recalcitrant actresses is in accordance
with the time-honoured traditions of the Courts,
both of the GRAND MONARQUE and of the EMPEROR.
The trial of persons connected with the conspiracy
at Oran, was brought to a conclusion on the 12th
instant, when thirty of the accused, four of whom
were in default, were found guilty of con-
spiring to change the Government, and condemned
to the following punishments :—Andre alias
Arnaud, to seven years' imprisonment ' • La-
quille Aussenac, Bruchet, Chappuis, Violle, Royer,
Marcel, and Sciacalonga, to five years; Morel, Drouet,
Roussillon, and Starillas (in default) to five years ;
Roux, Delaruelle, Rebuffut, Cic6, Ruelle, and Laffitte,
to three years ; Duvernoy, Cassignole, Cohen, Gayet,
sen., Gaucberot, Robin, and Bousquet, to two years ;
Rievens and Souday to fifteen months; and Duverger
and Fauchon to one year. Twenty others were con-
demned to different terms of imprisonment, varying
from three years to six months, for having formed
part of a secret association. They were all, move-
over, condemned to lose their civil rights. Out of
the above number seventeen were employed in diffe-
rent capacities under Government.

BIRTHS.

146,970 births were registered in the quarter which
ended in September. The births are invariably more
numerous in the first and second than in the third
and fourth quarters of the year; and they are in the
last fewer by 8,757 than in the previous (June)
quarter ; the number and the proportion to the popu-
lation are, however, greater in this than in any of the
corresponding quarters since 1839. The increase of
births is greatest in London, in the west midland
counties, and in the north-western counties (Cheshire
and Lancashire).

INCREASE OF POPULATION.

The excess of births registered over deaths in the
guar ter was 60,926 ; which, if all the births were
regiitared, would be the natural increase of the po-
pulation. In the same time, 53,703 emigrants sailed
from three ports of England ; 1,394 from Plymouth,
7,684 from London, and 44,625 from Liverpool.
This leaves a narrow margin for the increase of po-
pulation ; but many of the emigrants entered at the
English ports are from Ireland, which has been for
many years diffusing a stream of natives over Eng-
land as well as America. The progress of the whole
fixed and moving population of the country can only
be determined accurately from a comparision of the
returns of births and deaths, of emigrants and immi-
grants, with periodical enumerations.

THE SUN,

given to resident proprietors. If the sale had been
completed to him by the company in a reasonable
time, he would now be in the possessiou of compensa-
tion, as he intended to have sent his son out as a
settler. In this respect the directors were to blame;
but he admitted that the Government were to blame
also for the excessive severity of the terms they had
proposed to the directors. He fully coincided in the
resolutions; and he believed there was justice enough
in the British Government to cause them to entertain
their claims.
A SHAREHOLDER said the directors had had
160,000/. in money for awards of land, and asked what
bad become of it.
Mr. TOLLEMACHE said that 200,000/. more, bor-
rowed from the Government, had been spent.
The CHAIRMAN thought the money could be ob-
tained from the Government through the Court of
Chancery. He did not think the proprietors would
get an acre from Lord Grey, except he was compelled
by the Parliament to give it.
Mr. Mooaz (ten years a resident in the colony)
bore testimony to the fair play always shown by the
resident settlers in the colonies to the absentee pro-
prietors. They were for the most part men of the
highest standing in the colony. He had left the
colony, however, in 1847.
The CHAIRMAN said the matters complained of re-
ferred to December last.
Mr. MOORE still believed those gentleman had only
one feeling—to do justice to the non-resident pro-
prietors. It was not the settlers, but the company's
agents, that were to blame.
This statement as regards the resident proprietors
was, however, strongly combatted by the chairman
and other speakers.
A general resolution, embodying the spirit of the
series of resolutions propounded, as the sense of the
meeting, was adopted.
A deputation was then appointed to wait on the
directors of the New Zealand Company to enforce the
claims of the non-resident proprietors, in accordance
with the resolutions, and the meeting separated.

GERMANY.

Lettters from Berlin, of the 20th instant, in the
Kolner Zeitung, state that a Cabinet Council was
held on the morning of that day, to consider, it is
said, the bearings of certain dispatches which have
arrived from Warsaw. It is stated by the well-in-
formed that the contents of these dispatches are by no
means favourable to Prussia, and that the proposals
of Count Brandenburg have met with but an indif-
ferent reception. The " free consultations," as pro-
posed by Prussia, have been declined, and all nego-
tiations referred to the established treaties of alliance.
There can be no doubt, however, that the orders
which General Griiben has received to attack and
expel the Bavarian troops if they should enter Elec-
toral Hesse, remain in full force.
A telegraphic dispatch from Cassel of the 28th
inst., in the Kolner Zeitung, states that in the course
of Sunday night all the troops at Cassel have received
orders to leave that city, and that they are marching
to Hanau. They will thus be in a position to join the
Bavarians and Austrians as soon as they enter the
Electorate.

The Munich papers of the 221 state that General
Von de Mark and Colonel Hess have repaired to
Vienna, to attend the military conferences which are
now being held i❑ the Austrian capital.
An order has been issued by the War-office for the
purchase o► l ,600 horses for the cavalry and artillery.
A letter from Karlshrue of the 26th inst., in the
Kohler Zeitung, announces the dismissal of M. Kliiber,
the Minister of Foreign Affairs. his place in the
Cabinet has been given to Baron Bildt. This change
of persons in the Baden Cabinet is of great importance
at the present moment, for it implies a change of
policy, and as M. Kliiber negotiated and supported
the Military Convention with Prussia, it is to be ex-
pected that his successor has espoused the cause of the
anti-Prussian party.

GERMAN Y.

It is stated in the Elberfeld Gazette that the Prus-
sian Minister to the Court of Bavaria has received
orders from the Prussian Foreign Minister to hold him-
self in readiness to leave at a moment's notice.

The Bavarian Foreign Minister has received a no-
tice from the Berlin Cabinet, that if Bavaria makes
any hostile demonstration, in support of the decision of
the Frankfort Federal Club, against Hesse, Prussia
will make reprisals.
The Independence of Brussels of yesterday says:—
"The news from Germany may be summed up in one
word—expectation. All regards are turned towards
Warsaw, as it is there we are assured that will be de-
cided, in the conferences of the Emperors of Austria
and Russia, assisted by Prince Sch wartzenberg and
Count Brandenburg, representatives of Prussia, all the
questions which at present agitate Germany—those of
Hesse, Schleswig, the supremacy of Austria and Prussia.
In spite of all the rumours of war, of marches and coun-
ter-marches, it is believed at Vienna, as at Berlin, that
peace will be the result of the confidences of Vienna.
Under the powerful mediation of Russia, the two rival
Governments of Germany will succeed in coming to an
understanding. At whose expense? We will not anti-
cipate, but it is permitted to suppose that it will not be
precisely to the advantage of, constitutional ideas.
Prussia may have its free conferences, but she will pay
for them dearly, as there will probably be no more Cen-
tral Parliament in Germany—an indefinite adjournment
of the Parliament of the Union—an arbitral tribunal for
the Hessian question (that is, no doubt, a proclamation
of the right of the Elector against the States), end,
finally, an intervention in the Duchies—an armed in-
tervention if the Lieutenancy-General refuses to submit
without some concessions from Denmark. Sueb, it is
said, will be the result of the conferences of Warsaw,
but our readers will understand that these are only con-
jectures."
The German Gazette of Frankfort, under date of
Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, 25th, says :—" A few
days since a telegraphic dispatch arrived here from
Berlin, containing an order given by the Minister of
War to the reigning Duke, to take the command-in-
chief of a division of the army in Rhenish Prussia.
The Duke is a Lieutenant. General in the Prussian
service. We also learn that the soldiers who were
absent on furlough have been all recalled."

LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 3l, 1850.

exaggerated. And ex uno disce omnes, said the
Learned Counsel. Only think, your Worship, of
the complainant requiring defendant to pay the doc-
tor's bill! For what ? for injuries inflicted by his
own hand upon himself, in consequence of his knuckles
coming in contact with defendant's head.
Mr. BROUGHTON said that although he was a mem-
ber of the Marylebone vestry he had never been pre-
sent at any such scenes as those alluded to by the
Learned Counsel. The rector generally took the
chair, and several noblemen were in the habit of at-
tending. With regard to the case before him, he
should say that Mr. Steele had taken the law into his
own hands, and committed an infraction of the peace.
Moreover, he had "slept on it," and carried a grudge
in his breast for several days previous to his assaulting
the complainant. Had he struck him on the spot, he
(the magistrate) should have fined him ls. only, but
as the matter stood, he felt it his duty to inflict upon
Mr. Steele a fine of 40s. and costs, or in default of
payment thereof, fourteen days in the House of Cor-
rection.

The fine and costs were forthwith paid, and the
"pigeon affair" having thus been brought to a con-
clusion, the parties interested therein quitted the
court.
