Bow Fit n.—The Magistrates of Lantbett-street Police-
office. have been hulling a Prtty Sessions this day, for the
purpose of inquiring by what authority Row Pair Is held,
with the view of suppressing it if no just grounds can be
shown f .r its runtinuaLee. . .

llnomt GREEN FAIR.—The resolution come to by the Ma-
gistrates who assembled at Ilaninterscnith, after having
heard the case of the inhabitants. de. to put down Prook
Green Fair, pursuaLt to ►he power vested in them by the new
Police Act, excited, as trOght be expected, no ordinary de-
gree of sensation in those itinerants, dm. who were likely to
suffer by the suppression of what was represented to base
been a d ins trous nuisance. Every pet suasive art baying
been exhausted, threats were resorted to; and many went
so faros to declare, that " if they had not a fair, they wou;d
have a good fire." meaning, that some of the residences at
Brook Green should suffer. Those threats, however, had
the contrary-effect of who t was desired, for the inhabitants,
dre. who were anxious to pat au end to such desperate scenes
as have taken place at West Earl and Stcpateg, were still dt
sirous that the complainants should have every opportunity
of their c Ise he beard.
The 'Magistrates who assembled at the P.lmee Tavern,
Kensington, on Tuesday, on district business, reconsidered
the case; but after the amplest cdnsideration, they decided
against the continuance of Rrook Green Fair.
A resident, and one who had let portions of ground, ex-
pressed his %clamp', ss to guarantee the inhabitants against
injuries; but stick proffer was not considered as aff.ctiug
the principle ou which the decision was pronounced.
