THE CHURCH lett+ trot?' Had.
&ton, dated October 2S, says:—" A fracas, of an
to eommon kind, happened yesterday in our church,
disgusting to pious people, and not very creditable to
thote imMediately concerned. The Convener tif the
Trades, who, it would seem, is not a great favourite
with the Magistrates, being refused adtnission to their
seat by the town officers, at morning Service, was ir-
ritated thereby to such a degree, as to go round into
another seat, and thence, at one leap, place himself
amtutgn his worthy brethren. At afternoon service,
the Magistrates, having previously resolved to resist
such an intrusioh,-when the Convener appeared at his
?otti and attemptecito spring again into the magis-
terial seat, he was thrift klictied lad by one of the Ma-
gistrates, though ultitnatelyt by persisting in offensive
measures, he gained possession of the seat of honour
"..) obstinately contended for."
