their principles, and their constituencies, and their votes
were very different from their promises.
Mr. MIALL having assured the meeting that he would
be both consistent and true,

ran after him. The prisoner Clark was stopped
by the policeman, but Day escaped. About an hour
afterwards the constable saw Day at a public-house in
Holborn. Both prisoners were said to be well-known to
the tolice.
e prisoner Clark made no defence, and Day said
that he knew nothing about the robbery.
Committed to take their trial at the Old Bailey.
MARYLEBONE.

The Rev. G. ROSE, a Dissenting minister, movAti, the
following resolution :—" That this meeting, healing
that the principles upon which Mr. Miall has consented
to stand as a candidate for the representation of South-
wark are of paramount importance, and are such as the
majority of the electors of this borough adopt, is deter-
mined to reject all compromise, and to carry him through
the poll in the full confidence of his triumphant success.
Mr. ALDERSON having seconded it, the motion was
put and passed.
Thanks were then accorded to the Chairman, on the
proposition of Mr. Miall, and the meeting separated.

Mary Perks, a poor widow with a family of four chil-
dren, some of them laid up with the small-pox. appeared
to a summons taken out at the instance of the Committee
of the United National School attached to the Rev. Mr.
Dodsworth's church, Albany-street, to show cause why
she detained a suit of clothes, worn by one of her chil-
dren whilst a scholar in the school.
Mr. McDonald appeared on the part of the Committee,
and said the present proceeding was adopted by the
Committee for the purpose of recovering a suit of clothes
which was given to the children belonging to the United
Nsaional School for Sunday wear. The rule of the
Committee was this— to so many children a suit of
clothes was given to wear on Siactlays, and after it had
been in wear t welve month: it was to be given up, mai
applic aim, being nude to the Cornmittea it was
given to the children to sear ever) (ley; a child of the
detentiant was a recipient of these clothes, but about
three weeks back he left the school, and not returning
the clothe., applicatien was made to the mother for
them, and two notices ware sent signed by the Rev. fr.
Dedswortb. The clothes not being returned a summons
was taken out against the mother for detaining them.
In answer to the complaint the poor widow said. that
her boy being eleven years of age, he was taken from
the school for the purpose of going to place. The clothes
he had belonging to him were in rags, and he was cow-
pefled to wear those which had been given him at the
school. The poor bey, however, was too weak for the
place, and was now at home. She had made an appli-
cation, for the clothes, in charity. but had received no
answer to her application.
Mr. McDonald said no application could •be enter-
tained by the Committee until after the clothes were
returned.
The defendant having promised to give up a portion
of the things, the summons was ordered to stand over
until yesteray, when the parties again appeared.
Mr. McDonald put in copies of the notices which had
been sent to Mrs. Perks, signed by the Rev. Mr. Dods-
worth—the first to the effect that no application could be
listened to until the clothes were returned, and the
second, that " severe measures would be adopted, and a
summons taken out, to compel her to make restitution of
the clothes." She had given up the jacket, waistcoat,
cap, and bag for holding the clothes, but now retained
the trousers.
Mrs. Perks said that the Rev. Mr. New, ono of the
curates, called on her last night (Wednesday), and said
she must bring the clothes in. She told him she had
nothing to put her boy on, and what was she to do ? He
replied that she must strip him, and put him to bed.
Mr. Rawanesost said, the law of the case was this:—
that if the parties detained the things without just cause,
then the magistrate had the power of ordering them to
be given up. In the present case, he thought the fact
of the child being naked was a just cause for detaining
them.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
SECONDARIES' COURT, Aug. 29.
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
BROWN V. WILKINSON.

COLLISION AT SEA.—This was an Ravin brought t';
recover compensation for damages done to the City of
London steamer during a collision at sea.
M. JAMES appeared fin' the plaintiff, and stated the
case. The plaintiffs were owners of the 'Jewel vessel,
which was a fins iron steamer, trading between Aber.
n and London, and was nearly a new vessel, laving
only made eight voyeges. The damage for which cern-
petvation was now sought occurred during the early
past of the morning of the Bth of November
last. When off Orforilness, the watch on board the
steamer perceived a collier brig, or snow, bearing down
upon her larboard bow at a spanking rate. It was about
two o'clock and hazy. The helm of the City of London
was ported, which weu!d have prevented the colli-ion
had the brig not altered her course. The brig was called
the .spring. He would ask the jury if some of them had
not observed that colliers passing Gravesend did not go
at a greater rate, arid more carer ssly, than any other
vessel ? Colliers having discharged their cargo went
back with mil% just sufficient ballast for the sail they
intended to carry, and it was pretty well known
that homeward- bound colliers sacrificed almost
everything to expedition, and there Has a wealthy
dub, which paid all damage done or suffered by them.
Tne defendant had not denied his carelessness, and w:1-
fulness was not imputed ; the only quo stion was the
amount of damage sustained. It would be proved that
a proper watch had been kept on board the City of Lon-
don, but that when she was run into the wizen-mast
was knocked and the rigging of the jib-boom in-
jured ; the brig was also greatly damaged, as
she was going with a free wind, and the steamer
was going with great impetus, although the steam
had been shut off. The ultimate consequence was,
that the collier sunk whilst being towed into Harwich by
the City of London, and, unfortunately, from some acci-
dent, one of the crew of the collier was lost. The tia-
meg* done to the vessel was not the only loss sustained,
as the insurance had to be paid, end the crew who were
attached to the vessel were useless for 15 days, and one
voyage was lost. It would be shown that her average
net profits had been 2881. per voyege, and her
latter voy gee had produced 3501. The Learned
Counsel then called several witnesses th prove that a
survey of the vessel had been made by order of the
magistrates at Aberdeen, and that the damages were up-
wards of 2001. She had been struck about fifty feet from
the stem on the larboard side.

Mr. I,lDonald—The Committee believe that to be
false.

The secretary and clerks to the Aberdeen Steam
Navigation Company proved the vessel belonged to the
Company, and the profit, as stated by the Learned
Counsel.

Mr. RAWLINSON—Have you ever been to visit the
case, to know whether it is true or false ? Mr. M'Donald
—I have been, but did not see Mrs. Perks.
Mr. liewLisrsoN—l say there is just cause, and I can't
think of being so inhuman as to strip a child naked.
What is the value of the article detained ? Mr. M'Do-
nal,l—l should say about ss.
Mr. RAWLINSON—I am sure the clergy would never
wish me to do what I should call an inhuman act, and I
shall dismiss the summons, as I believe a just cause has
been shown for detaining the thin=s.
CLERKENWELL.

Captain Curgill admitted that they had been rnn into
about an hour before the accident complained of, but the
hull of the vessel did not touch ; there was merely a
slight injury done to the rigging.
Mr. FISH then addressed the jury for the defendants,
and, in the first instance, submitted that the plaintiffs
were only entitled to nominal damages, as the vessel
occasioning the damage had gone to the bottom. He
contended that this was according to the maritime law.
Mr. JAMES—That is in cases where the action is
brought against the ship.
The SECONDARY was of opinion that this objection
did not apply to this case.
Mr. Full said he could hardly exp'ct the Learned
Secondary to decide in his favour on such a point, as it
was one which must in either ease come before the court
above, and the defendants had been well ativised. The
point being held against him he should go to the jury on
the question of damages. Surveyors appointed by proper
authority had been examined, and he did not intend for an
instant to question their judgment, but he would leave it
to the jury whether m'.re damage had been done ky the
first collision than had been given in evidence. Then,
again, there was a charge for the loss of the voyage, al-
though another vessel had been put on. 561 was also
charged for the crew, who had been hanging about Aber-
deen when they could have been put on the extra vessel.
Mr. JAMES said they were engaged for the voyage in
that vessel.

An old woman named Evens (as we caught it) was
brought up on a charge of drunkenness.
The case was demonstrative of the shocking effects of
intemperate habits. She was found in the public street
writhing in a fit, occasioned by hard drinking. Ulti-
mately she became paralysed. and was conveyed to the
hospital in an almost lifeless state. Such was the ap-
pearance she presented that the surgeon was of opinion
that she had taken poison,
The prisoner, who was deadly pale and very feeble,
was discharged.
A young man named Spaleen was charged with steal-
ing the sum of 24 2s. 9d., the property of his master.
The prosecutor. Mr. Ambler, a tradesman residing in
Leather-lane, stated that he gave the prisoner the money
to buy some articles for him, instead of doing which be
dissipated it. At the end of two days he returned home,
and when asked by his master what he bad done with
the money, replied that he had spent it.
Committed for trial.

The SECONDARY summed up, and said the question
was entirely for the jury.
The jury. after a short deliberation, gave a general
verdict for 251/.

On Thursday Mr. John Shale, a gentleman of property
residing at Shacklewell, appeared before Mr. Bingham
upon a peace-warrant, charged with using violent and
threatening language towards Mr. Charles Packer, a
medical gentleman, in practice at Baton.
The complainant stated that on Friday last the defen-
dant entered his surgery, and in a very menacing and ex-
cited manner demanded whether he knew him ? Witness
invited him into the parlour, which the defendant entered,
but had no sooner done so than he thrust his face insult-
ingly close to the witness's, and repeating his former
question, exclaimed, " You thief and scoundrel, I am
the man whom you made that infernal solicitor of yours
rob of 71.," at tha allaka time brandishing a heavy stick
,in his face, and threatening to strike his spectacles
through his head. Witness requested the defendant to
quit his house. and he then walked back to the surgery,
but he there again resumed his threatening and offensive
language, and used such exasperating conduct to induce
him to strike him, that witness was at length compelled
to send his assistant for a policeman, on which the de-
fendant hastily quitted the premises ; but his animosity
towards the witness was so uncontrollable, that he was
apprehensive he should sustain some serious personal
violence if the defendant were net restrained by the
magistrate.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MAA SION-Ho USE.
Four boys, named Sincliir, Denton, Davis, and Reed,
were brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with
havng committed robberies upon smaller boys.
The prisoners, it appeared, had been long in the habit
of neglecting their business as apprentices, and asso-
ciating with notoriously had characters, and they at
length determined to set up the business of thieving
themselves. They thought that Bow fair would abound
with opportunities of commencing the trade, and they
accordingly determined to repair to that place of enter-
tainment. How to obtain the means of makieg a favour-
able commancement, however, was a serious question
with them, for a little capital appeared to them to be
indispensable, in order to enable them to " dodge" pro-
perly in the dramatic and drinking booths. It occurred
to one of them that the most advisable course to be pur
sued was that of "uncapping" boys of smaller growth,
and selling the caps to tne dealers in Petticoat-lane.
The prospect was at once eagerly embraced,
and one of the newly-constituted gang raa up
to a little fellow in Aldersgate-street, whipped
the cap off his head es if in play, gave him
a 'lab with it over the eyes, and turned down one of
the narrow lanes in the neighbourhood, followed by
his comrades, to the terror and confusion of the victim.
Their next essay was upon a boy in the vicinity of
Cheapside. In the exuberance of his fun, one of them
seized the cap of a lad who was going to wino!, and ran
doan a lane, with his comrade in his rear. An officer
of police, however, observing that the race was not a le-
gitimate one, and perceiving that one of the prisoners
was encumbered with a bundle, stopped the whole set,
and took them to the station-house, where it was disco-
vered that the two caps had been stolen, and that one of
the prisoners had robbed his mother of the clothes he
had been in the habit of wearing on Sundal s and holi-
days, for the purpose of going with eclat to Bow Fair.
The LORD MAYOR said he should tike time to con-
sider whether he should not order the prisoners to be
well whipped, and remanded them.
GUILDHALL.
_ _

in answer to the charge, the defendant, who still ex-
hibited considerable excitement, stated that in the month
of April, 1842, he was driving home through the City-
road in his phaeton, when he accidentally and unfor-
tunately knocked down two little children, who, upon
being raised by some of the passengers, were carried into
the complainant's surgery. Having ascertained the ad-
dress of the children's parents, he (the defendant) called
upon them to make compensation for the injury they
might have sustained, hut was told by the parents that
the children had escaped entirely harmless, a statement
which was afterwards corroborated by the complainant,
who told him that he had no charge to make. About
three weeks subsequently, however, he was greatly sur-
prised at the receipt of a bill from Mr. Packer, in which
he made a charge of 81. odd for his attendance upon the
children, and he (defendant) having demurred topaying it.
after what the complainant had told him, legal proceed.
roes were instantly taken for its recovery, and these ran
up the bill to more than 71., which he was ultimately
compelled to pay. He (defendant) was suffering at the
time from an inflammation of the eyes, and the vexatious
conduct the complainant bad pursued towards him had
so greatly aggravated the disorder, that his sight had in
consequence been almost totally destioyed. He had
since studiously avoided coming into contact with Mr.
Packer, not being able to control his feelings, until the
day in question. when, on accidentally passing his house,
he was irresistibly impelled to enter it, and expostulate
on the treatment he had received.

On Thursday William Desmond, a journeyman tailor,
was brought before Mr. Alderman Farebrother, charged
with illegally pawning a coat, the property of Messrs.
Moses, the cheap tailors at Aldgate.
Ann Headley, the wife of a journeyman, residing in
King-street, stated that on Tuesday night she had given
the prisoner the materials for a coat which was to be
made in a limited time, and yesterday morning she found
that it ha.: been Dawned, and that the prisoner had left
the duplicate for her on his shopboard. She consulted
with her frieni. wh ) we, her security with Mr. Moses,
and she gave the prisoner into custody.
Mr. Alderman FAREBRoTHER supposed the middle-
man system. .hich so much contributed to lower the
rate of wsges, and which his society had very much
broken up in the shirt-making trade, was practised
among the tailors. Messrs. Moses gave out their work
at a price consid.rably below the ordinary rate, but the
persons who took it out handed it over to others at a
still lower rate of wages.
Mrs. fleodky said that was not the case here.
Mr. Alderman FAREBROTHEIt asked what she was to
receive for making the coat ? -She replied 83.
Mr. ,Nldermae FAREBItoTHER asked what she was to
pay the prisoner ?—Sike r hliFd Bs. She gave it .-nit to
the prison- r because it was to b.. done by a fixed time,
and her hu%bsrl had other work in hand.

The complainant said that the children had been far
more seriously injured than the defendant had stated,
and that so far from his having any ground of complaint,
his charge for attendanoe upon them had been unusually
moderate ; but the defendant, notwithstanding, had
exhibited such an implacable enmity towards him after.
wards, that he was compelled, in defence of his profes-
sional character, to institute fresh legal proceedings
against him for slander, and had only foregone therm on
the -defendant making an ample written apology for his
intemperate conduct, and engaging that it should never
be repeated.

M BINGHAM said, that erhatrover might be the merits
of the misunderstanding previously otbsisting between
thorn, and into which it was not his province to enter, it
wa:4 impossible to justify the violent and threatening
conduct the defendant had exhibit. d, and as the com-
plainant was apprehensive he should sustain some per.
sonal injury at his hands, the defendant must find bail
to keep the peace towards him for the next three
months.

The prkoner said that was the case. He made one
half of the e..at while another man dui the rest, because
it was to be done in the best manner.

The sureties were immediately enteredLinto, and the
defendant liberated.

Mr. AM* rman FAREBROTHER s id, there could be no
doubt the coat was turned out in the best manner. What
pric, would la, paid for making the coat for an ordinary
mater tailor, or for his customert—The prisoner said
he should have charged 165.; it it had been the Alder-
man's coat, probably 18s.
Mr. Alderman FAREBROTHER wished the public would
leave off dealing with these extraordinarily cheap shops.
Tkc very cheap clothing could only be blown together
at the price. The price regulated the length of the
stitches.
The prisoner said not exactly so. He was obliged to
put very good work where he received only half the
proper wages.
Mr... Alderman FAREBROTHER said, he made a point
of dealing only with tradesmen who sold their goods at
a fair price that would allow fair wages to the workman.
Upon inquiring into the case, it appeared the prisoner
pawned the coat for Bs., being the amount of his
wines, and only to enforce immediate payment.
Mr. Alderman FAREBROTHER said he must draw a
ction between this case anil the ordinary charge of
illegal pawning, where the pawner obtained the most he
could, doing it recklessly to gratify some propensity,
and wilfully wronging the owner. A workman might
perhaps detain work till he received his wages for it ;
but it was illegal to pawn the work for the amount of
the wages, and the penalty for unlawfully pawning
might be as much as three months' imprisonment and a
wh:pping. As the prisoner intended to do no wrong, he
would discharge him with this warning. The com-
plainant had the duplicate, and that cancelled the claim
for wages.
The prisoner was discharged.
BO W-STREET.
Joseph Clark was charged with stealing a shooting
jacket, the property of Mr. Prew, tailor, of 295, Holborn
and William Day was charged with being concerned in
the robbery.
The prisoner, as it appeared from the evidence of Mr.
Perceval Barker, a young man in the employment of Mr.
Prew, and of pAiceman F 20, were standing together
outside the prosecutor's shop at about half•past eight
o'clock last night, when the policeman, knowing them of
old, thought it necessary to watch them closely. A.
gentleman went into the shop shortly after the police-
man first noticed the prisoners, and as soon as the atten-
tion of the shopman was taken up by the customer,
the prisoner Clark caught hold of the coat and ran
away with it. The shopman, however, saw the pri-
mer in 6 199kilarg16611 6$ the end of the •bop, sud be 1

SOUTHWARK.
On Thursday Mr. Hardman, an attorney, waited on Mr.
Traill for the purpose of giving a contradiction to some
portions of a statement made on the preceding day by
a person named Thomas Fitt, who was charged with ob-
taining money under false pretences from one Thomas
Speirman, a labourer, living at Thames Ditton.
The applicant eaid that he had his attention called to the
report of the examination of Thomas Fitt, for ob►aining money
under false pretences from a poor man named Speirman, which
appeared in the newspapers of that day. In the course of the
inquiry the accused was represented to have stated that he had
been clerk to him (applicant) for a considerable time. Now,
the fact was, that Fitt was not his clerk, but he admitted that
he employed him some time since in transcribing some docu-
ments respecting a will, but the accused had no authority
whatsoever for using his name in the transaction in

question, and he (a7pplicant) was totally unconscious of
the circumstance of Fitt being engaged by any of the parties
in the late prosecution at Croydon. He ( applicant) had given
no directions on the subject of the brief handed to counsel ; and
whatever steps the accused had taken in the affair were entirely
without his knowledge or sanction.

Mr. TRAILL said that during the inquiry he did not happen
to hear the applicant's name mentioned, but it might have been
and have been heard by the reporters, who were situated nearer,
to the accused while under examination. The magistrate added,
that Mr. Charnock produced the brief in court, and, as well as
he (Mr. Trail) recollected, it did not bear the applicant's signa-
ture, but seemed to have been prepared by the accused himself
for the occasion.

The applicant said that the circumstance of the accused
having described himself as his clerk would lead to the infer-
ence that he ( applicant) was mixed up in the alleged scandalous
treatment of Speirman ; and such an impression was calculated
to be of irreparable injury to him in his profession, and he
therefore trusted that his present explanation on the subject
would be noticed in the newspapers. The applicant then
retired.

THE CROWN OF ENGLAND.—The imperial crown,
which met with so serious a fall from the hands of the Duke of
Argyll, in the House of Lords, on the occasion of her Majesty's
late prorogation of Parliament, was on Tuesday conveyed by
his Grace, in his private carriage, and safely deposited in the
Jewel-house, his Grace humourously remarking that he was
glad he had got it there. All the diamonds and other jewels
that were displaced, and fell on the floor of the House of Lords,
were found, and have been firmly re-set in their original posi-
tions by her Majesty's crown jeweller.
A LATE BAPTISM.—At the Baptist Chapel, in By-
om-street, Liverpool, on Thursday evening last, a female,
aged seventy-three, named Mary Jones, was baptised by i 11.•

MARKET NE w s —(YESTERDA

001LN.M.X.CEANGE.
The accounts which have reached us this week from nearly
all of our wheat growing districts, but more particularly
from the southern and western counties, are, on the whole,
of a favourable character.. In Essex, Kent, Hampshire, De-
vonshire, &c., large quantities of wheat have been carried in
in good condition. North of the Humber, very little wheat
has, as yet, been cut. Since Monday the arrivals of Wheat
of home produce for our market have exhibited a falling off,
compared with those reported in several previous weeks,
nevertheless they have proved seasonably large. A few specula-
tive purchases having been effected in this article on Wednesday
last, the show of samples here to-day was by no means large,
yet fully adequate to meet the wants of the buyers. On the
whole, the factors were firm, and would not submit to lower
terms; consequently, very little business was transacted, at
unaltered figures, and a clearance was not effected. The
duty on Foreign Wheat having remained stationary at 18s,
very few parcels have been entered for home consumption
this week. For every description—free as well as in bond—
the sale was very dull, yet prices were unaltered. The im-
ports have amounted to 7,880 quarters. We bad a
very limited show of Barley, the sale for wlikh
was tolerably steady, at previous figures. There
was an increased supply of Malt offering, yet the sale
for it was steady, at very full prices. A very large import of
Oats has taken place from ai4road, viz., 26,200 quarters ; but
from our own coasts, as also from Ireland, scarcely any par-
cels came fresh to hand. The Oat trade was extremely in-
active, and previous rates were barely supported. Beans,
Peas, and Flour moved off slowly, at unaltered figures. We
had a few parcels of new Seeds offering, in fair condition.
The Seed trade ruled dull, yet prices were not lower. The
accounts respecting the Seed crops are somewhat more fa-
vourable.

The supply of Beasts on offer was, for the time of year,
moderately extensive, but of middling quality. For all
kinds the demand ruled heavy, and Monday's prices were
with difficulty supported. From Holland we received 66
Beasts, 60 Sheep, and 24 Calves ; from Scotland 100 Scots,
mostly in fair condition. The number of Sheep were larger
by 1,000 than those exhibited on this day se' night. The
Mutton trade was very dull, and the rates had a downward
tendency. In Lambs, next to nothing was doing. at a de-
pression of 2d per 81bs. Calves moved off slowly, at laic
rates. The value of l'igs wag generally supported. Mulch

BOROUGH HOP MAI-MET.
The accounts which have reached us now mid Kent are
to the effect that the bine is looking very unpromising ;
but from all other parts our advices are, comparatively
speaking, favourable. For most kinds of Hops we have a
steady demand, at fully previous quotations. A pocket of
new Hops, grown at Beckley, in Sussex, was on offer this
morning by Mr. Dunk ; the quality was good, and the ask.
ing price 84. 10s. per cwt. The duty is called 175,0001.

Seices.—Black Pepper is less wanted, but holders are not
inclined to give way, and the 'parcels sol privately were
upon former terms. White is, however, still wanted, and
several transactions have Wien place privately at 40
to 6d. There are many buyers of Pimento. and the
rates paid privately are f•tlty equal to those previnuly quoted.
In Jamaica Ginger there has been little business done.

former terms. For Cassia Lignea buyers are compelled to pay
stiffer rates ; the supply being inadequate for the demand. For

ferior and coarse kind: of Cinnamon prices rule at low as ever

still in fair request, and fetched last sale's rates to a small
advance.

Rics.—There has been more activity in the market for
Bengal this week, holders have shown firmness, and refrained
from offering any at public sale ; privately a fair business has
been transacted at inn proved rates. There are not a groat
many buyers of Foreign East India, but the supply
being scanty, prices rule high, and Madras is worth 12s to 13•
per cwt. In Patna a good bu,iness has been transacted at 18s
to 235. but Carolina has been purchased with caution in COMO-
quence of the high prices of 31a to 36s per cwt being insisted
upon.

scriptions of Rum have bt en upon a more extended scale since

ward I.land has met with increased attention, and stiffer rates
are obtained. The quantity sold amounts to 250 puns.

stiffer rates. all other kinds fully sustain the former value.
Calcutta is held with firmness ai.d a fair demand has been
experienced. For Hrandy the market has still an improving
appearance...a hire business has been transacted at
higher prices. fhe accounts received from France

INDIGto.— The quarterly sale of East India is axed for the
7th of October ; already the in mense qu,ntity of 15 198 chests
are declared, w th every prospect that it will be inereas. d to
19,000 chests; the market in consequence haehecome u usually
dull, and although there are .4ePers at i.rices rather un.'er those

from Liverpeol to the coast of Africa. The

toes just touching the deck, and then ordered the mate
to fl tg the man ; that the meet refused to ehey the

ashore at night ; that he was kept there almost without
provisions ; that he was ultimately abandoned by
the vessel, and left on the coast. in a state 'of distress,
without the means of returning to England ; and that
he at length succeeded in getting a passage to Havre

Tuesday summened before Mr. Rushton. Hesel-

alleged that Heseldine had been a disobedient and insolent
officer, that he had treated the crew harshly, and that he
had thr atened to take his (the captain's) life before he
reached England. The log, written by Captain Glover,
was put in in support of this statement, and Mr. Robert:
