diction of the Act. They did not ply for hire, but
merely acted as the gentleman's servant for the time

time a licensed wheekbairman had been brought
before the Bench on the charge of acting as porters
without • Hoene*. They must not, in future, even
Garry • pianoforte from one house to another, for pay,
without a license. As the wheelchairmen did carry
panels and remove luggage for parties, ha hoped this
would be a caution to them, as in future they would be
severely dealt with. In the present instance, the MM.
mums would be dismissed on the defendants paying
the expenses of the court, amounting to Pa. 10d. each.
James Knight, • wheelchairman, was again summoned

Royal Hotel on Tuesday morning at 2 o'clock as the
people tonne out front the ball. Defendant was there
with his chair, obstructing the way. He told him to
move out of the way, and defendant said it was no
business of his, and uttered four oaths.—Defendant

from bins, but he was net aware of having sworn at all,
and he was not drunk for lie lied lied nothing to drink
for the last fortnight. —Fined Is. for one oath, and the
expenses of the court, 4s. 10d.

veyor with leaving a pair of trucks in Bond-street
longer than was neocesary for loading or unloading.—

and a man took them 111311111.1 the rood, when Mr. Sim-
moncle's servant brought them heck to where they
originally stood, and said he would defy anyone to re-
move them.—The Bench disinisAe the summons, saying
that Mr. Jay, Mr. Siunoonds'a Fervent, was the party
who should have been brought there.—Defendant
then asked by what right the Surveyor had to bring
him there; Mr. Lidbury was the Inspector of Nuisances.
What he would advice was, that Lowman should
attend to his own work as surveyor, do that properly,
and not put the town to the groat expense be was DOM
putting It to. He would venture to guarantee that he
would get the work done at ball the cost to the town.
Lawman's proper place would be the pound he built a
short time sines, put • pair of long ears on him—he had
the bray—and people would all agree they had the right
animal in the right place, if they had not the right
man. He asked for payment of his loss of time in

was dismissed, and there was an end of it.--Defendant
said he would summon him for the mount.
