POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.
Mr. Some, • brewer at Lewisham, applied to the ma‘is-
trate for advice node, the following circumstances.
Mr. Smut stated that on the sth September one of his
collectors, while driving in • trap from Beckenham to the
Crystal Palms, took • woos turning, cad found himealf in •
private road belonging to Mr. Harding, and knows as Rant-
tag's-road. In that road that. was • toll-bar, but discover-
ing his mistake before he rams to the bar he turned back,
and returned to his proper course. On the Bth October
applicant received a Weer from Mr. May, solicitor to Mr.
Harding to the effect that proosediap would be taken
against him for penalties for evading the toll, taigas he was
disposed to settle the matter by a payment of one gigots.
On the 13th of October he received • second
letter, to the effect that as he had not re-
plied it was inferred that be intended to dispute
Mr. Harding's right to levy toll. It was requested that he
would state the name of his solicitor, sod it was suggested
that be might engage • certain firm who had defended •
former actioo of • similar nature. On the 7th hat. Mr. May
wrote him a third letter, to the effect that as no notice had
been taken of his previous communications he should at
own take prooesiiings to support his client's right. Now
he (applicant) couteoded that there had been no evesion of
the toll, sod be was sot liable.
The Magistrate—Strictly I am not bound to give advice
in each teatime ; but I will for once. In an ordinary
private road they may keep the gate shut, and say " You
shall Dot peas unless you pay toll," but they cannot en-
force penalties. There can only be penalties under an act
of parliament.
The applicant—There is an act of parliament.
The Magistrate—Then write to him, and say yon do not
want to dispute the right. If your servant hes done wrong,
he did it without any authority from you, and if he has
rendered himeelf liable to penelties, it is for him to meet
them.

►pplicant--Cannot I h►ve a summon, against Lim for
►ttempting to extort money ?
The Magietrate—Certainly not. He may be perfectly
entitled to do what he baa done.

The applicant withdrew._
Borstal men were remanded for pocket-picking during
the civic promotion.
