PROSECUTIONS UNDER LORD
• • ASHLEY'S ACT.

families, that it should not be persisted in. This opinion
is now very generally entertained over the country, and
the employment of female labour below ground has, for
a considerable time past, been abandoned at almost
every colliery throughout the kingdom, excepting at
Clackmannan ; and it is a disgsace to this county, and I
feel it to be so, that such a degrading practice has been
persisted in there for such a length of time, in the face
of an express Act of the Legislature. Under the Act
the oversmen and workmen can only be brought to
trial after the judge has satisfied himself that the of-
fences have been committed without the consent, con•
currence, or knowledge of the owner. From the pre-
liminary investigation whiah was made in the present
cases, I am bound to believe that the offences were
committed without the consent, concurrence, or know-
ledge of the owner or manager. lam nevertheless,
satisfied, however, that the practice would immediately
be put an end to, if the owners or managers fairly set
their faces against it, and made a bond fide effort to stop
it. Something more than merely not giving their con-
sent or concurrence is required at the hands of the
I owner or manager. There is a moral as well as a legal
obligation on them to further the beneficent intentions
of the Legislature, by exerting themselves to put an end
to the practice—and if they do exert themselves, I am
satisfied they will succeed, as has been the case at all
other collieries where the, attempt has been fairly made.
The present proceedings will have the effect, I trust, of
showing both the colliers and their masters that the
authorities are determined to carry the provisions of the
Act into effect, and I would hope that the practice of
employing females below ground will now be put a stop
to in this district, and that there will be no necessity in
future for any proceedings of a similar nature."—Edin-

The EIGHTH ANNUAL RETURN of the BUT-
C HERE', ' PORK BUTCHERS', and POULTER •
ERS' CHRISTMAS EXHIBITIONS throughout
the METROPOLIS and its ENVIRONS ; with the
Dead Weights of the Beasts, &c„ for 1845.
THE MARKETS.
SMITHFIELD.-There was a very limited supply of
stock of every description on Monday last, and a slack
demand. What tariff beasts and sheep were present
went off at profitable prices, but the market was nothing.
like cleared at three o'clock P.M.
LEADENITALL.-This mart was exceedingly heavily
stocked with every description of meat. The; premises
of the Messrs. Lee formed a perfect bazaar in them-
selves. Their stock was prodigious, and excellent in
appearance thisiilghout: In the poultry department there
was a more than ordinary large supply. Some good
samples of turkeys -and capons .were exhibited, which
went off to the West-end poulterers.
NENVGATE.-A copious stock of meat of all kinds-
some very superiois• some very indifferent samples:
There was a good stirring business doing here, both
throughout Monday and Tuesday,. more especially
arnong those butchers who were backward in buying live
stock out of Smithfield on account 'of' the unfavourable
state of the weather. The-poultry market was glatted,
and some extensive bargains were effected- in geese, to
supply the. numerous goose clubs established throughout
the metropolis. .
FARRINGDON.-This market wee very limited in stock,
and appeared exceedingly dull There was' nevertheless
a fair show of meat, but it did not attract. - •
. BUTCHERS. •
Mr. Thomas Slater,' High-street, Kensington, pur-
veyor to her Majesty and the Royal Family-This gen-
tleman's premises exceeded, for the vast quantities of
meat exhibited 'upon them, anything we ever beheld, in
one shop, indeed they constituted a market in them- '
selves, and were the admiration of every one. His stock
was not only extensive, but choice, and his beef and-
mutton was very superior. To attempt to itemise the,
same would take up more room • than we can spare, but
the following are a few of his more • choice samples :-
Among the oxen we' noticed first, a remarkable
beast fed by his Grace the Dyke of Bedford, of the
Hereford breed, which was classed in the late Smithfield
Club Cattle Show under Class 2, No. 23. The meat
was extremely firm, and the grain, particularly fine; 'its
dead weight was 183 st. 21b.; and it carried with it 25st.
11b. of loose fat. Under class 1, No. 12, was &leo a
Hereford ox, fed by Mr. Steed, a very well-contrived
beast, and well wrought up throughout; the dead weight
was 209 st. 61b., and he carried 17st. of loose fat. There
was also another Hereford ox, fed by the same gentleman,
under class 2, No. 24, not yet weighed; also a Highland
Scot, fed by Mr. Clark, weighing 132 st. 21b., carryine.
18st. of loose fat ; also an extra stock ox, fed by theb
same gentleman, weighing 129 st. 51b., carrying list. 41b.
of loose fat. Two Herefords of Mr. Bridge's, weighing
last., and carrying 22st. 21b. of loose fat ; the other
weighing 133 st 71b., and yielding 24st of loose fat.
Seven remarkably fine Hereford beasts, purchased
by Mr. Slater from his Grace the Duke of Devon-
shire, which were samples of excellence in the carcase ;
and in addition to the preceding stock were thirteen sur-
prisingly fine beasts, purchased from the Duke of Bed-
ford. Among the sheep we observed three very entire
and compact Southdown wethers of the Duke of Bed-
ford's stock, under class 13, No. 123. aged twenty-one
months, the respective weights of which were 12st. 41b.,
13st. 71b., and lost. 41b., with 161 b. of loose fat to each ;
also three Southdown wethers, forming a part of the
Duke of Bedford's stock, under class 15, No. 140 ; re-
spective weights 15st. 31b., 15st. 11b., and 16st. 11b.„
with 161 b. of fat in each. Here were in addition to the
above three very remarkable sheep (Southdowns) fed
by D. Barclay, Esq., M.P., classed under 13, No. 122,
which obtained a prize of 51., not weighed ; and an
extra-stock sheep, fed by the same gentleman, being
144 ; and another lot of three in -number, under
class 14. Among Mr. Slater's extensive stock, samples
were to be observed, under class 13, Ne. 124, three very
well contrived Southdown wethers, fed by the Right
Hon. Lord Braybrooke, of. Saffron. Walden, the respec-
tive weights of which were 15st., 15st. 21b., and 16st.
51b. ; also an extra-stock sheep, fed by the same noble-
man, numbered 146, dead weight 16st. 41b.,. with 1811 b.
of fat. Under class 14, No. 135, were three clever
Southdowns, fed by the Hon. General Harrison, dead
weights respectively 12st. 61b., 13st. 31b., and 13st.
41b. ; with 16f1b. of loose fat. Further, there were
three admirable unequalled Southdowns, fed by Mr.
Webb, of Babraham, near Cambridge, being under class
14, No. 138, which were not weighed. In addition to
the above, there was a very extensive supply of exces-
sively fine meat, both beef and mutton. Suck a Christ-
mas exhibition as Mr. Slater's has not been witnessed
in or near London for many years.
Mr. Thomas Slater, purveyor to her Majesty, &c.,
Jermyn-street. St. James's-There was, as far as the
premises would admit, as heavy a stock as was noticed
in the foregoing, and the meat was of the very best
quality, participating chiefly in the classed meat we have
previously named as having been observed on his pre-
mises. Here was a particularly fine calf of Mr. Mayd-
well's feeding, which was unrivalled for symmetry, this
year.
Mr. W. Giblet, purveyor to her Majesty, New Bond-
street-There was no prize meat on these premises, but
there was an admirable show of Christmas beef and Down
mutton ; among the latter, eleven of the Duke of Rich-
mond's Southdown sheep, which were classed in the
cattle show.
We called on Mr. Bannister, purveyor to her Majesty,
Threadneedle-street, too late to admit of our itemising
his extensive and most interesting
*stock, including his
Royal Highness Prince Albert's prize ox. His exhibi-
tion reflected much credit upon him, and did honour to
the City of London.
Mr. Armfiled, purveyor to her Majesty, Brook-street,
Grosvenor -square-These premises were well stocked, I
and the meat looked bond fide good. Here we noticed
ten admirably:contrived and well conditioned Hereford
beasts, averaging in weight 130 stone; also an old Kent
wether and a remarkable Southdown, bred and fed by
Mr. Cook, of Welling, in Kent, the separate weights of
which were 21 and 21i stone each. There was also a
very handsome calf, 25 stone, and thirty superior South-
downs, averaging 12i stone each.
Messrs. Collingwood, Lamb's Conduit-street, and
Westbonin-street, Paddington-On these gentlemen's
premises we had occasion to notice a noble ox, of the
Hereford breed, recognised in the Smithfield Club Cat-
tle Show of the present year under Class 1, No.-10.
This beast obtained a silver medal for .the feeder, Mr.
Laylor, of Thorney Abbey, near Peterborough, also a
prize of 20 soya. The same animal obtained a gold
medal for his owner at the Peterborough Cattle Show,
and a golden tankard at the Leicester Show. His age
was 4 years and 8 months. This bullock died wonder-
fully ripe, and was perfect in every point. His dead
weight was 2155 t., and he carried with him 16,31 b. of
loose fat. Here was also a fine Devon ox, classed in the
show as (4) No. 41. Bred and fed by Mr. T. Turner,
of Barton, near Exeter, aged 3 years and 7 months,
weighing 140 st. ; besides five extra Hereford and three
Devon beasts, 130 st. each, on an average. We also
noticed in these premises three extraordinary South-
down wethers, fed by Mr. Russell, of Orton, in Kent,
weighing 20, 21, and 2 list. each. This shop was equal
to any. in London fur quantity, quality, and arrange-
ment of stock.
Mr. Allen, South Audley-street-A most admirable
display of the very best beef and mutton, the same on a
very extensive scale. This gentleman's stock could n
be surpassed for excellence throughout the metropolis.
Mr. Ford, Kenton-street, Brunswick-square-Stock
heavy and truly good. Here we had occasion to notice
under class 4, No. 40, a horned Aberdeen ox, bred by
the late Mr. Thomas Elmslie, of Pitmeddin, near Aber-
deen, and fed by Mr. James Stewart, of Aberdeen ;
it was three years and eight months and a half, and
weighed 135 st.
Mr. Watling, Marchmont-street, Brunswick-square-
A very noble, bold display ; among the stock we ob-
served two excellent specimens of Mr. Cook's feeding,
consisting of the Old Kent breed of sheep ; they were
matchless samples in the London market of this year,
respective weights 2list. and 22st. Here was also a
Southdown, fed by Mi. Cook, of Welling, the weight of
which was 19st. 2oz.
Mr. Thomas Thurling, purveyor to the Honourable
Societies of Gray's Inn, Lincoln's Inn, and Staples Inn
-Every feature on these premises was in perfect keep-
ing with the respectability of the establishment. The
stock was extensive and excellent throughout.
Mr. Shirley, Upper King-street, Bloomsbury--One of
the most imposing exhibitions of Christmas fare through.
