      allowed an opportunity of seeking for employment at his trade . There was no law in this country that would countenance such proceedings . Mr . Stovild , the master of the workhouse , said the prisoner , during the time he had been in the house , had been allowed two days to seek for work . Mr . Paynter said two days were not sufficient . The man ought to have been allowed an opportunity every day to seek , for work . Honest tradesmen were not to be treated as vagrants . He would not support the parish authorities if they followed such a system . They should obtain a mandamus from the Court of Queen ' s Bench before he would

      commit in cases of that description . It was quite intolerable that a man who was a tradesman should not be allowed an opportunity of seeking employment . He was sorry the prisoner had broken the rules of the house , as he could not say the law justified the act . The law was in a certain extent with the parish officers ; but the law was not to be carried out in cases where there were special circumstances . The present case was a special one . The upshot of the case was , that Mr . Paynter requested Hockley to comply with the law , and break stones for one day ; but if the guardians compelled him to break stones for more than one day , Mr . Paynter would apply to the Poor-law Commissioners .

      CKNTKAL CO-OI'KRATIX K AfiKNCY . Mr . ( i . Dawson delivered a lecture ; at . St . Martin ' s Hal , Long-ncic , on Thursday , in furtherance of tin ; pi iuciplcs sought to be carried out l > y the Cooperative Associations . The lecturer drew a vivid picture of the many disadvantages arising from the present system of retail trade , and proceeded to argue that the only true remedy wan to he found iiv a right and timel y application oi capital , wkill , and experience to the establishment , oi tin : principle of coopcrutiue ugency . The objects oi the associations were to counteract the practices of adulteration and fraud now prevailing in trade ; to act ah Jigents for the consumers in making their purchases , and lor the producers in selling their produce ; and to Iiiitl employment for the disciples of the cooperative rivstein , by the collection of ordero through a regular channel .

      agency was deserving of public support becauap u the most effectual means which hid ever ¦ bJS A - for giving the working classes the benefit of ' tlf ^ labour . He argued , moreover , that it was inl £ that Christianity , ' which was so m £ h £££ ? in this country , could be kept up amonS ? Jfc * people , unless a true spirit of brotherhood wire e 8 ta bhshed upon the prmciple that men should labour IT gether for the general advantage of all . After dwelling with much argumentative skill upon the loss' of mnn » £ sustained by the people in their dealing with retaH tradesmen , Mr . Dawson concluded a very able leetnV by pointing out the numerous benefits which would accrue from cooperative establishments if properly orearT ized , and he earnestly called upon all present to suDDort him and the friends of these associations in the view thew had taken of this important subject . ™
