aumbend dates required by this act to be flied un the
order, shall, sakes actually hired, be deemed
ee be leeraad the onus of proving the previous
kWh. the party complained ageism." The
third argument is dearly untenable, even if a railway ter-
minus were not a public place of resort; but there is no
doubt that the terminus, though the property of the rail-'
way company, is a plus of public resort, and a place
which by act of parliament the public have the right
of resorting to. An opposite view of the case would
be most inconvenient to the railway companies themselves,
as well as the public, for many °Ronne committed et a ter-
minus are punishable by being committed at a place of
public resort If • cabman could not be punished for re-
fusing to take a fare at a terminus, neither could he be
punished for abusive language, extortion, or roi.conduct at
• railway station. The railway oacials have no right to
assume an authority over hackney carriages, cm to lay down
regulations inconsistent with the law ; and those drivers
who act under this imprer e:ly seamed authority must take
the consequences of the illegality of their actions. There
has been put into my hands by the solicitor of the defendant
a printed copy of rules and ngulstiona for the government
of owners and drivers of cabs standing for bin at the sta-
tion of the London, Brighton, and liou.h Coast Railway.
These regulations confirm what I have said as to the illi gal
assumpticsa of authority by the railway companies over
hackney carvings. Among other things I find
that the publics are recommended to pay certain rates
for luggage in addition to the ordinary farm, and
the public are told that otherwise the charge is dime,-
tionary with the cab-driver. Now this is an error of which,
the public mind cannot be too speedily disabused, as the
cab-drivers can make no charge at all, and the only discre-
tion they have in the matter is that they may refuse to over-
load their cabs with an unremarkable amount of luggage.
They are hosed to carry any reasonable amount without
any charge, and it is time that the railway companies should
understand that they are not authorised in ilsing cab fares,
and that they are very improperly misleading the public
by issuing sash regulations as those lest plsoW before me.
This is a mew ease, and the complainant in the present d-
✓amas Wboa use complainant ea previous occasions,
what sanstilleid, on account of • promise that the illegal
reetristisa ma the i,ublic convenience should be abolished,
mesh ilmbesseme has been shown, and • small or nominal
perky bollood. As there has been much obstinacy in
oreadmedly deleting the law, and as the parties doing so
Yee bees amble wider the emetics, or rather under the
011111116111. of the railway companies, it is necessary that the
law shoed be fully serried out, sad I shall therefore indict
en
the ishmient it this case the fall penalty of 405., with
seed the ealladeee.

i Joseph EEwing,master oF the o og- 1 Day School,
is the Weimer-read. Potteries, appeared to • summon',
@barging him with having severely logged a child, named
Isaac Williams, wed 6 years.
Mn. Mary Williams, the mother of the boy, stated that
on Monday morning last she seat four of her sous, includ-
ing the one that had been flogged, for the first time to the
defendant's school. They returned at 12 o'clock, and said
Isaac had been seriously beaten by the master with a gutta
percha cane." She undressed the boy sad found his back
and arms covered with red marks. She went immediately
ee the Wheel with her boy and exhibited the marks to the

eel be could eel help it. He also said it was very un6K-

'Week es Mende, Morning. Defendant heard three of
them read he the purpose of placing teem in classes, and
when he sum to Lase be asked bun his name. He did
not answer correctly is consequence of his articulation being
bad, and the defendant beet him severely with a gutta
peach& " cane." The boy described the so-called cam as
being as thick round as the ruler at the handle, but it was
thinner towards the point.
Mr. Pa star inquired if the instrument was produced. The defendant said it was not ; but he had no objection

gas Nevrmas, a hey about 10 years of age, said he had
been embalm et the defendant's school about three weeks.
He snmiliami the Williams' inning to school, and heard
