CLEitKENWELL.

.....
Thomas James Edward Pommy was charged with
having caused the death of a wontan unknown.
Joseph Martin said—Hive at .5, New-court, Old-street.
On Saturday night last, about twelve o'clock, m I was
going up Whitecross-street. I saw the deceased at the door
of a grocer's-shop. In a minute or two afterwards she fell
front the steps. She fell on the flat part of her back and
' her head, so that it was a very heavy fall. The prisoner is
the manager of the business, and I saw :him in the shop.
' Ile was following the deceased up. Site was " backing '
out of the shop. I did not see him strike her.
Sarah Thorne-1 was in the prisoner's shop on Satur-
day night. Deceased complained of prisoner's not hav-
ing given her sixpence change. Ile said he had. De-
ceased said she would summon him on Monday to
the County Court. l'risoner said, " Vera well, do,
but got away quietly now." Prisoner ordered the shop to be
closed. When he had done he came round from behind the
counter, and several times requested deceased to go out. She
retused, and lie said lie would lint her out. I was close by
the shop door. The prisoner put his hands on the deceased `a
shoulder' intending to put her out. She struggled, and
caught hold of a board at the shop door, which gave way,
and she fell down the steps backwards. The prisoner did
nut push her. Thu board was merely temporarily fixed.
Other witnesses having been cam .. i.. cd,
Mr. Tyrwhitt said that the matter seemed purely acci-
dental, but he should remand the prisoner until the result
of the coroner's inquest was known. lie should accept one
surety in 401.
Tho required bail was immediately provided.
John Cajfery was finally examined ou a charge of beating
his sun with a red-hot poker.
The priacipal fact was proved upon the first examination,
already reported. On the present occasion the lad, the vic-
tim of his father's barbarity, wag in court, butexhibited the
greatest reluctance to give evidence against his parent.
Mr. Wahlegrave, the surgeon, proved the existence of
eight burns on the boy's back, such as the poker found in
prisoner's hand would produce.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said the case was one in which he was
bound not to consult the prosecutor's feelings in the matter,
but to send the case before a jury.
The prisoner was then committed.
WESTMINSTER.

James Green, the conductor of an " Exhibition" omnibus,
was charged with the following gross imposition.
Mrs. Dixon, a lady residing in Hertford-terrace, King's-
road, Chelsea, stated that a few days ago she got into de-
fendant's omnibus, accompanied by another lady, at Lud-
gate-hill, and was set down at Sloane-street. She then
gave the defendant a shilling to take the fare for herself
and friend, which amounted to eight's nee, when ho refused
to give her any change, and, having told her that there
was none, coolly informed her that she might take his
number.
Mr. Arnold inquired whether the amount of fare was
painted on the omnibus.
The lady replied that it was, and as it was only 4d. for
the conveyance of each passenger, she bad asked him for the
change as she had described.
Mr. Arnold (to defendant)—Do you wish to ask this lady
any questions?
Defendant—ltsays Fourpence from Sloane-street to the
Bank," but does'nt say anything about the Bank to Sloane-
street. (Laughter.) She got in at Ludgate-hill. (To coin-
ptainant)—You did, did'nt you?
Complainant—Yes, I have said so.
Mr. Arnold (addressing defendant)—What have you got
to say ?
Defendant—l'm not guilty. My fare was sixpence. It
doesn't say on the omnibus "To or from the Bank four-
pence." but only says " From Sloane-street to the Bunk
tourpence," and this lady rode the other way.
Mr. Arnold—And what does it say is the fare from the
Bank to Sloane-street?
Defendant—lt doesn't say. There's no fare for that.
(Laughter.)
Mr. Arnold—Then the proprietor is liable to a penalty
for not having painted inside the carriage the fare from the
Bank to Sloane-street.
Defendant—l don't know anything about that.
Mr. Arnold—This is about as impudent a defence as I
ever heard set up. The meaning of the words " from
Sloane-street to the Bank "is clearly either way. If it
were not so, the proprietor would he liable to a penalty for
not putting up a proper table of fares in his carriage. Any
body would understand the words which arc painted on the
carriage to mean fourpenco " to or from," and, considering
this to be a gross imposition, I shall inflict the full penalty
of 20s. and costs.
Defendant said he had not got the money, but upon the
magistrate ordering him 21 days' imprisonment iu default
of paying the penalty and costs, he soon produced the re-
quir amount.

FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE AT ROTHERHAM.—Tho
inhabitants of Rotherham were on Sunday morning aroused
between three and four o'clock by the alarm of fire, and the
ringing of the fire-bell of the pariah church. It was soon
ascertained that the Black Horse Inn, in Hiph-street,!he
griosleoritzo,ofwuthiiin Earl of fannleir:i.otftvap been for the arm.
and. persevering exertions of the firemen belonging to the
engine of the Sun Fire-office, the North of England office,
and the engine of the feoffees of Rotherham, there is no
doubt but much more property would have fallen a sacri-
fice to the devouring. element. Mrs. Nicholson, the
landlady (and case of the oldest inhabitants of the
town) was found in the bar severel burnt. She
was iinmeiliately removed to the home other daughter,
who keep, the Elephant and Castle, in High-street, and
notwithstanding the attention of several surgeons who were
in immediate attendance she expired about five o'clock.
One of the servants (with the grandson of Mrs. Nicholson
in her arms), jumped out of the chamber window into the
street, and the little infant received such a severe concus-
sion of the brain that he shortly afterwards died. The
servant was mach, but not fatally hurt. It has not yet been
ascertained how the fire originated? nor is it known whe-
ther the property or buildings are insured. It fa somewhat
remarkable that this is the fifth Are la Iteehasheaa In a
very short space of time, but the oldest MAMA does
not recollect any Are in that town onteelerfng the loss of
life.
