LAMBETII-STITEET.

Mr. Jenson,' landlord of the Fir Tree, in Chtireh-lane,
Whitechipel; iitited on Mr; Norton, the Sitting magis-
trate, and, reaueltte advico under the 'following
cireurnitances " •
Mr. 'Jenson stated that, like many of his fellow-trades-
men in the metropolis and elsewhere, he had, at the
request of many friends and customers, established two
Derby Sweeps—one consisting of 75 members, at 11 108.
each, for which the holder of the first horse was to
receive 501., and the second 251. and the other con-
sisting-Of the same numberii of members, at 15s. each,
for which 'the holder of the first horse was to receive
25L, and the second 12/. 'lOB. An objection, as it. was
Well known, . had been made to Running Rein, the first
horse in the Derby race,
on acconn t Of his disqualification,
and the, conseqUenee was That a protest had been
tered by the..holder of the second horse (Orlando)
against his paying the higher prize to owners of the
ticketS for Running Rein, and the matter was allowed
to stand ever to .await the issue of the late trial in the
Court of ESchequer: The jury e Obseriations of the Learned
and .11 findilig of th
Judge •in the case would, he
(Mr. ,TeniOn) theiight, have finally settled the matter,
and he had, inconsequence, given notice of his inten.
tion in „a few days to Pay the hrst prize to the.holders of
Orlando, and the second to lonian; and this he felt the
more secure in doing; as he had no printed rules upon
Which eicentionsinight he taken, but sinee.he had done
so he heti received the folkiWing Vritten'ncitice from the
holders of Running Rein in both sweeta.;-....
" I being a member _of the-Derbi Sweepitakes held at
your house, and haVini drawn ltunntOiin as the first or
winning horse in the said stakes, amountink. to fifty pounds,
which amount remains in your bands, and the said Runing
Rein having come in first in the said Derby: Stakes, I apprise
you that I, claim the said stakes (notwithstanding the sham
issue tried between Mr. Wood and COlonel Peel, before Baron
Alderson in the Court' of EkeheqUer,* cencluded' on the 2nd
inst. ;) and I now give.vou notice that bymyself or autho-
risedagent, will attend" at your house to-morrow forenoon,
at 11 o'clock, for the • purpose ,of receiving the amount ; and
that, in the event of your refusing or neglecting to. para ver
the amount to me, or my agent, as aforesaid, I shall take
such proceedings for the recovery of the amount as I am ad-
vised is necessary. ,Yours, &c.

- • • JEREMIAH FQX.
To Mr. W. Jepson, the stake-holder.
Dated the 3d dayuf.July, 1844."• -
Mr. Jenson, in continuation,. Said that he had,' of
course, refused to comply with the terms 'of this notice,.
as well as the second, which was couched in precisely the
same words ; and the consequence_ was, that he was
threatened with an action at law for the recovery of both
amOunts, to be. tried at the next assizes, With. the venire
at Liverpool. This was evidently a threat to compel
him, as he conceived' most unjustly,
to pay the-money,
anal by wishe4to have hisWOrship's opinion. on the sub-
ject. , • •
Mr. NoitiOir replied that he very much- doubted
whether any-person could be found who hid the temerity
to bring an action in such a case, after what had hap-
pened.: , They, should recollect that the honest opinion of
&judge and ajury waato be taken in the matter, and that
there weremuch things happened as verdicts for defen-
dants, and plaintiffs being saddled with enormous costs.
,Mr. JeOon observed that there were a number of
licensed victuallers in the, same situation as he was hittk.
self,-and it was- exceedingly, annoying to be obliged to
put up witlythe abuse of parties interested, while lie
himself could have no Motive in. the affair beyond doing
that which was fair and just . ,TheY, the publicans; were
not, :however, the oely.persons ,snhjected to the abuse 'of
interested parties, as that -heaped. upon Mr. Baron Al-•
derson was shocking heir. - „
thought this was confined to parties who
,wished to profit by t
.e diagmeefully.dishonest practices
that had been carried on on the turf, and he did not think
Mr. •J,enson at all in danger of any action being brought
a.gainstAim.3. 44, at' all events he (Mr. Norton) would
recommend him to take a sufficient guarantee from the
parties-to ya 110. n r he paid the money-
Mr. Jenson, said he would certainly do so, and thank-
ing the worthy magistrate for his kindness. and attention,
left. the ,offiee..

TIIE LATE INCENDIARY
fums.—A highly re-
spectable correspondent states it to be his opinion that many
of tho,Tecerit fires which, their origin not having been proved,
heye:been Attributed tOincendiartes, have occurred from the
reprelieniible practice of •labciurers- smoking whilst at their
work, and at the same time relates two facts which go far to
support, that supposition. Not long since a labourer who.
wall thrashing-in abarn for a farmer residing not ten miles
from this town-put a tobacco piptwhich he had been smoking
into his waistcoat pocket without having completely extin-
guished the ashes therein. lie had not long resumed the
flail, When, turning round, he
perceived his apparel to be' on
fire, and with difficulty .succeeded in extinguishing it without
igniting the straw on the floor. It is a singular fact that a
second instance occurred upon another farm, occupied by the
same person, very recently. On that occasion a man who
was smoking in the stack yard, whilst carting hay? dropped
some ashes from his
pipe, which set fire to the hay, and but
for the timely discovery, would in all probability have occa-
sioned considerable destruction of property, a cause ter which
would very likely, in quarters where the liberality of the
master was not.known, have been found in loWneas of wages
or the new poor-law.. Ample necessity is above shown for
the strictest orders on the part of masters against the' dan-
gerous practictof smoking upon their premises.----qamsfore,
