twin" a number of miserable event res. who had come
up tar the asetropolle.lrour varies" parts of the coun-
try, with a view of settliag hi some place where they
could find employ at adequate prices for their' Ikhour,
and.whe bad tailed ita their.entlearebrs, applied to the
Lard Mayor to be.paseed beraesi their several parishes.
They were mostly females, sad amongst others of them
was a wont.a with a train of six children, whom she
had dragged •up to town from a distant county in
search of her husband,. who bad• ran miry, and she
supposed bad come to the metropolis, where she bad
sought for hinvell•over, but without success.
• The Lord Mayer immured the attpoiknce of the
Lord Mayor elect, andutadeeat an order for the poor
woman to be passed, bat it was at the same time inti-
mated, that although they passed the present app .
cant, as she must have been ignorant of the existence
of the Act, yet they would in future in all cases what-
soever.• where the parties came up to town upon mere
speculation, or without any reasonable degree of . cer-
tainty, inflict the punishment enacted by the law upon
them, to check the wandering disposition of those
who travelled from one part of the country to others,
upon the calculation of getting home at the public ex-
pense.
Orttnnitz.—Mr. Alderman Waithotan, the Alder-
man of Farringden Without; the Ward in which
Thavies-ins Is situate, attended yesterday, by appoint-
meet. with Mr. Johns, :he Vestry Clerk of the City
Liberty of St. Andrew's parish, and officiated as Sitting
Magistrate. Mr. Alderman Ansley was also present.
-Mr. Jobson applied to the Magistrates fur st warrant
of distress against Alexander Praser, Esq. an inhabit.
ant of TbavlevienteDelborn, who bad been summoned
to showcase* why be refused to pay the poor-rate, as-
sessed upon him so a hot:beholder in the City Liberty
of St. Andrew's parish.—Mr. Fraser, it appealed, was
not in -town, but Mr. Deykes, a respectable solicitor,
himself an inhabitant of Thavies-ina, attended on his
behalf.

-Mr. Jenson stated, that Thavies-ion bad heretofore
been considered as extra-parochial. It had nevertheless
been the custom toassess the inhabitants to the poor rate
of tho City Liberty. bat the payment of the rates was never
collected or demanded. Some short time since a pau-
per was removed, under the order of the Magistrates,
from St. Pancras parish to the City Liberty of St.
Andrew's, upon the ground of having obtained a set-
tlement therein by servitude in Thavies-inn. Against
this order of removal their parish appealed to the Ses-
sions, alleging, in support of their appeal, that
Thasies-inn was extra-parochial. Mr. Const, the Chair-
nian of the Sessions, decided against them, upon a re-
f ont dictum of the present Chief Justice Abbott, and
the pauper bad since been, and still was, maintained io
their poor Muse. As therefore, St. Andrew's parish
%vas thus decided to be bound to support the poor of
'Thavies-inn, the inhabitants of that inn were. both in
x4v and justice, bound to contribute to the poor-rate of
that*arish.
11.14,Devass contended that Thavies-inn had always
bninssoesidereil as extra-parochial, and had never
been retell to the . poor-rate of St. Andrew's. The
rarlsh were, therefore, bound to shew by what right
they now claimed to rata it.
Mr. JOBSON said, Thavies-inn had always been
rated, though the rate had not been collected.
Daum' replied. that fact, so far frous making any
alteration, was an argement in his favour, as the omis-
sion 'to collect the rate was proof of the parish's
ii.)uht of their right to compel the payment. •
fir. Merman WAlremsx observed, that Thavies-
in.n Lad never heretofore been considered as within the
parish, and, in his opinion, Mr. Jetsam was bound to
*item( his right to rate, before he could grant the war-
rant of distress.
-10 his Opinion Mr. Alderman ANSLt T expressed
Es-cohrurrence.
• 81AL41.110410t71111-STRZET.-.-A second inquiry into the
