PROFANATION OF THE SABBATH.

EXTRAORDINARY SCENE.
Monday, a Meeting of the Society for Promoting Christian In-
duction, was held at the Albion Chapel, Moot Totes for the pur-
pose of adripting such resolutions as would lead to a more perfect
observation of the Loan's-Day, and the prevention of its pro-
fanation.
The chapel, which is most spacious, was crowded nearly to
suffocation ; and among the early arrivals, were the Rev. R.
Taylor and Mr. Carlisle, with several of their followers, who
took their places in the central pew of the aisle. THOMAS VELUM,
Esq. its the Chair.
'The CHAIRMAN opened the business with some prefatory re-
marks, in which be attributed the profanation of the Sabbath
to divers causes; among which, the low price of gin he
thought to be the principal; and said that the report which
was about to be read to them, would give a fun explanation of the
causes of the evils which they had met, if possible, to mitigate, if
not to abolish.
The Rev. Mr. MACE/CRUZ was about to read the report, when
a person at the extremity of the chapel protested against the objeet
they had in view. It was whit they called a profanation of the
Sabbath, but it really went, as he believed, to circumscribe the
moral and fair indulgences of the poor.
The Rev. Mr. TAYLOR, Mee, apparently for the purpose of of-
fering some observations In reply to those of the Chairman, but
was at once cried down. He was strongly supported. how-
ever, and several persons called out, " Is this fair? or the conduct
of Englishmen, to put a man down before you have heard him ?"
After a scene of considerable uproar, which was anything but in
correspondence with the Christian Instruction Society, Mr.Yock-
ney obtained a hearing, and submitted that every gentleman. who
gave his name and address. should be listened to with calmness
and impartiality.
The Rev. Mr; TAYLOR : Well, Sir, I am the Rev. Robert
Taylor, of No. 17, Carey-street. Lincoln's Inn-fields, and wish,
before that Report is read, to make a few observations.
This would not be listened to, and the uproar was renewed with
additional violence, and repeated cries of " Turn him out !" and,
in pursuance of this mandate, a stout-built man entered the pew.
and was about carrying it into effect when the quietism which the
Rev. Gentleman assumed prevented its necessity.
•
Order being restored, the Report was read.
It was a most lengthy document, and dilated very digits*
the disastrous results which followed from a profanation of the
Sabbath. It traversed the markets from Carnaby, (at' the West.
end), and taking its course through Billingsgate, arrived at-Whkee
chapel, in the east. It castigated Ministerial dinners, and tV
"baking
of jolato on Sundsys ; it analysed the proceedings of the press,
sad fulminated an anathema against the newspapers in general, but
*se of the Sunday in particular, which, upon the most regular
sows, distributed forty thousand per Sabbath-day, which con-
veyed innumerable lessons of infidelity, immorality, and vice, to
above 200,000 persons. Even the Royal Parks did not escape the
vigilance of the Committee, and it was despondingly stated that
the Commissioners of Woods and Forests were so obdurate, and
so heathenised, that, notwithstanding the remonstrances of the reli-
gious, refused to close St. James's and Hyde Parks un the Sunday,
and keep the misguided public from committing the mortal offence
of indulging in their hebdomadal relaxation. This wound up the
Report, which passed amidst laughter, kisses, and applause.
The Rev. Mr. TAYLOR spin endeavoured to address the Meet-
ing, but his efforts were as futile as before. He held a resolution
in his hand, which, under the pledge given by Mr. Yockney, he
wished, as an amendment, to be put from the Chairs Though be
bad numerous supporters, he was not listened to, and the Chair-
man declared that, while he presided in an assembly of persons
calling themselves Christians, be would never listen to any person
who avowed himself as the champion of infidelity.
Mr. TAYLOR, finding that the feelings of the Meeting were
against him, retired, with Mr. Carlisle and their friends. After
which several clerical and other gentlemen addressed the Meeting,
bringing forward a series of resolutions in support of the object for
which they bad assembled ; and thanks being voted to the Chair-
nun, &c. the Meeting dissolved.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 4.
This was timsecood seal.
WILDDG V. ZOLDEN.

Mr. KNIGHT applied on motion fur the adjournment of the fur-
ther hearing of this petition (which would stand on the paper to-
morrow) till the first day of petitions after term; and also that the
affidavits already made, and to be made, might be then read. 'The
petition amtained allegations of a most serious nature against a So-
licitor of the Court, and prayed for the re.instatement of £17,000
which it alleged had been improperly abstracted from the Court.—
The case occupied a considerable portion of time previous to the
long vacation, Counsel were heard on both sides, and the matter
ordered to stand over for further affidavits, the Court binding down
the plaintiff to file his affidavits within the first, and the petitioner
within the second month. The principal doubt originated in the
pedigree of the petitioner, which his Solicitor (a gentleman residing
in Birmingham) was determined. if possible, to clear up, and for
that purpose excessive labour, great diligence, and innumerable
journeys bad been taken, and every exertion used. The gentle.
man undertook by his affidavit, upon which the present application
was founded, fully to prove the case of his client, and the falsity
of the registers produced by the other ads, if the present applica-
tion was granted. The delay could only injure the party asking for it.
Mr. &soars followed on the same side.

Mr. PZINURTOS did not oppose the adjournment of the Peti-
tioner. but resisted strongly the allowance of filing farther affida-
vits. If the Court was deciding the right of the parties to the
17,000/. then the evidence wished to be put in by the Solicitor for
the Petitioner would be material. The question of pedigree was
not now the one before the Court.

The Soucteon-thamst. and Mr. LOWNDIS followed on the
same side. _ _ _ _ __ _

The Vice-CnattcaeLos considered the Petitioner entitled to the
prayer of his motion, as far as it related to the allidavits ; but, with
reference to the Petition being heard on any particular day, it
would be quite obvious the Court could not appoint one. The Pe-
tition was then ordered to stand over sloe die, upon the understand-
ing that if any thing material was stated in the new affidavits of the
Petitioner, which the Respondents considered• it necessary to an-
swer, they should be at liberty to make an application for that pur.
pose.—Costs reserved.
In the course of the morning hie Honour intimated to the bar
that he might probably dt in the interim between the last d.ty of
term and the first seal This, however, was not finally deter.
mined on ; but the Court would take care counsel should have full
notice of such a step.
The Court rose at half-past twelve o'clock.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 4.
Sittings at Westminster, before Lord Tem
iec AMITAITST P. ♦LDUD.

Mr. HOICNIIIION said this was an action to recover £39 lls. the
value of an amethyst necklace and suite, which got into the hands
of the defendant, Mrs. Maria Aldred, under the following circum-
stances :—The plaintiff is a dealer in jewellery, but keeps no shop.
The defendant formerly resided in Speldhurst-street, Burton-
crescent. In April last she sent him this letter :
" Sia—l wish you to call, and bring with you a necklace or two,
and some hair rings, different to those I refused; as I have a friend
just arrived who intends purchasing some jewellery, provided it
is of tke best quality. " MARIA ALMItIII."
The next morning plaintiff carried several Snicks of jewellery, and,
among others, a very handsome amethyst necklace. The lady had
not left her bed when he called, but her anxiety to see the jewel
lery was superior to ideas of common etiquette, and the plaintiff
was ordered up. The lady examined the bijouterie, and very muck
admired the amethyst necklace. The price demanded was thirty-
eight guineas. " Very well," said the defendant, " leave it with
me, and if my friend approves of it, I will approve of it " The
plaintiff said he could not leave It, but would take the necklace
away and call some ether time. " No," replied the lady, " I will
not give it up, I like it too well to part with it." At the same
time she put it underneath the bed. The plaintiff finding he could
nut get his necklace, went away, and returned to the house accom-
panied by a neighbour. All remonstrance was useless. The lady,
addressing herself to the new comer. said, " Fellow. you are not
wantsd here." The plaintiff declared he would not depart without
the price of the article, but was finally obliged to go without it.
The letter from the defendant was put in, and the band-writing
proved.
Edward James, a servant to the plaintiff, proved that his master
carried the jewellery to the defendant on the 13th of April last.
She was in bed. His master showed her the articles and the ame-
thyst necklace. She asked for it, and his master gave the necklace
to her ; she said she liked it, and would keep it and show it to her
friend. The lady then asked the price ; his master said 30 guineas,
and told her be could not leave it, but that he would call another
time. She then said she would nut give it up, and put it under
the bed. His master was übl ged to leave the necklace.
Robert Pitman said, he sold the amethyst necklace to the plain-
tiff. It was worth £4O to a customer. The plaintiff paitlldna for
the article £93.
Lord Teammate left the Jury to say what the plaintiff ought to
receive for the necklace, for which he himself bad paid £25.
The Jury foinld for the plaintiff—Damps 41910.

CUSTOM V. /AMIS.

This was an action brought by the Plaintiff; a surveyor and ar-
chitect, residing in Whitechapel, to recover a compensation in
damages front the Defendant, for having wrongfully sued out a
commission of bankrupt, whereby the Plaintiff. (who, It was con-
tended, was not liable to the bankrupt laws) suffered considerable
injury in his business. It appeared the Plaintiff had entered into
some budding speculations at Worthing, in conjunction with the
Defendant, who was the owner of the land, and who advanced
money upon the buildings erected. The Defendant afterwards
sued out a commission of bankrupt, which was superseded, as it
was found the Plaintiff bad not committed any act that could jus-
tify such a proceeding.
Lord TIPTEIIIII3I suggested a reference, but the Plaintiff would
not accede to it.

Verdict for the Plaintiff—Damages, Xl5O.

will soon hear of it." At this moment a man was brought in, ap-
parently in the agonies of death ; and the prisoner, the moment she
saw him, exclaimed-0 There.-1 told you so—he is poisoned—l
know all about it—he won't live Ave minutes !" This prediction
was verified, for in less than Ave minutes be was a corpse. and died
with the usual appearances of having taken poison. Mr. Burrows
was induced from the strange remarks made by the prisoner to
give bar ha chug,: After else was in custody else said she had
known the deceased for some time, and she knew the cause of his
death. She was brought to this ogee, and remanded till yester-
day, when she was again brought up, and Mr. Hams inquired if
the Coroner had held an Inquest upon the body of the deceased
man, and was informed in the negative.
• respectable looking elderly woman came forward, and said
she was the mother *of the prisoner, who she declared bad never
done wrong to any human being, and the conduct which had
brought her into her present situation must be the consequence of
an aberration of mind. -

result of the Coroner's Inquest was made known.
The prisoner was again remanded.

from his fob and ran off. Prior called—', &op thief ;" and, before
the prisoner had got a hundred yards, Riley had him in custody.
The prosecutor's watch was not found upon him, but he had In
his hand two gold seals, quite new, which there could be little
doubt bad been stolen from some shop. Teasdale, the patrol,
came up, and feeding convinced that the prisoner must have
thrown the watch away, while running, be searched and found
the watch on the ground near to the spot where Riley seized the
prisoner.
Riley produced two pawnbroker's duplicates which he found
upon the prisoner, each relating to a watch.

constable, No. 170, who stated that she bad attempted to destroy
herself by throwing herself from off the balustrates of Waterloo
Bridge into the river.
Mr. ;hue asked the unfortunate woman the reason that had
driven her to so desperate ao alternative ?
She said, as well as her tears would permit her, that the enmity
of a man with whom she lived was the cause.

The Magistrates ordered her to be detained until some of her
friends should come forward.

afterwards, while the shopmen were engaged in servings cus-

the piece of cotton, with which they decamped. They were, how-
