at seven o'ciock id vne evening.“ Baron ” de Camin in the County Court.—In the Sheffield County Court on Thursday “ Baron:” de Camin, the Anti-Popery lecturer, was summoned by Messrs. Pawson and Brailsford, printers, for a sum of 11. 15s. for printing done some months ago. The “Baroness” appeared and admitted the ^ debt, offering to pay 5s. a month* The plaintiffs, however, urged for an order for payment forthwith, stating that the Baron de Camin had obtained credit by representing that he had landed estates in France, and promising to pay on receipt of the rents The Baroness said she and her husband were In exile, and not able to pay mote. The plaintiffs replied that they would readily accept os. a-week, if the y•believed the Baron honestly intended to pay, but that he had given a false address to both them and the count y-o our t bailiff * that the bailiff had only been enabled to serve the Baron by dogging him along the streets ; and that, if an order was not made for immediate payment, they would never be able to get the money. The court made an order for payment forthwtth.—On the same day toe Baron’s affairs were discussed at the Manchester Board of Guardians. The chairman (Mr. Rickards) said that soine months ago theBaron’s wife, under bhename of Beauregard, became chargeable to the union. She stated at the time that she was the wife of an artist living in Yorkshire. When it became kno*n who she really was, tne Baron was written to, and he made some arrangement with the board for repaying what they had expended. About that time the Baron wrote a letter to the board on the subject, which was handed over; to Mr. Rowe, the relieving officer, in whose distrut As wife lived. Another relieving officer, named Hayes, a Roman Catholic, got possession of the letter, and by him it was handed to Mr. Porteus, of the firm Messrs. Porteus and Paul, Mosley-streeu. Mr. Poneus either sent it or a copy to the editor of a paper in a town where the Baron was announced to lecture, and the letter was published. The board had always tried to act without re^d. to sect or party, and this was a very grave oiftuce. Mr. Clark did not think one word of j as tin cation could be said in favour of Hayes, and moved that he be forthwith dismissed. After some conversation, however, an amendment was carried to the effect that Mr, Porteus be first requested by the board to give an explanation of the manner in whirh the letter cxme o be published.
