lest it should inadvertently be the death of some Worthy
Magistrate. The writer of the article in question has been
pleased to say, that we
.are all in a feverish condition.—
, Now, I confess I have no wish to be thought a feverish
Magistrate by the public, and I therefore hope you will
tell the editor, that I at least am not in the state described.
—As he has given us one piece of information, I think the
least we can do is to give him some intelligence in return,
which is this, that the house to which allusion has bean
made as bring the resort of thieves, prostitutes, and gam_
biers, has bent indicted, and that, too, by my ottderg." • •
Sir R. IhitNlE-Ay, and days before the writer of that
article took up his pen to spin out such trash.
The Reporter for the Herald stated, that the editor was
aware of that fact.

The clause to which reference was made is particularly
framed for the regulation of coffee-shops. It was introduced
into the Police Act, we believe, in 1822. After stating
that " it had become a practice of late to open shops or
rooms for the sale of ready-made tea and coffee, and other
liquors, and to keep such places open for the whole or the
greater part of the night, affording shelter and accommoda-
tion to thieves, prostitutes, and other disorderly persons,
and tending greatly to encourage robberies, and conceal
stolen property," it enacts "that no such place shall be
kept open r.fter 11 at night during any part of the year,
nor open before four in the morning between Ladyday and
Michaelmas, or before six in the morning between Michael-
mas and Lady-day," or being shut up " if any persona shall
be found therein except the persons actually dwelling
there," then " the person having the care or management
of such shop or room shall forfeit and pay any sum not ex-
ceeding 10/., nor leas than 205.," upon conviction before
any justice of the peace, who, in default of payment of the
penalty, is empowered "to commit the offender for hard
labour in the House of Correction for any space of time not
exceeding three months, nor less than six days."
MARYLEBONE.—The following case, important to
journeymen and masters, was heard by Mr. GRIFFITH and
Mr. RAWLINCON on Saturday:—
It was charged on oath against Thos. Billet and George
Gagwood, journeymen copperplate-printers, by William
Waters, of No. 1, Wardrobe-terrace, Blackfriars, that they
did lately, by threats and intimidation, force Mr. William
M'Queen, of No. 72, Newman-street, Marylebone (their
employer), to limit the number and description of his
journeymen, contrary to the Act 6th Geo. IV.
A solicitor who attended on the part of the defendants,
objected to the drawing up of the information as being
defective, and said the case was not proved.
The MAGISTRATES thought otherwise, and sentenced
each defendant to a month's imprisonment in the House of
Correction, against which they gave notice of appeal.
