POLICE.-YESTEB.DAY.

WORSHIP-STREET.—CHAROII Or MANSLAYORTIA.
—Edward Herring wee finally examined, charged with hav-
ing, by furious driving, caused the death of Charles Adey
Newby, seven years of age, the eon of • surgeon residing in
New Oleuceeterstreet, Houton. The facts of the case have
already appeared in our paper. Serjeant Dubois
informed the magistrate that a coroner's inquest
had been since held upon the body of the deceased,
at which the jury had returned a verdict of " Manslaughter"
against the prisoner, and that the coroner had e: reared his
opinion that it was a case in which no amount of bail ought
to be accepted. The prisoner was fully committed upon the
charge of manslaughter.
CLERK ENWELL.—ROBBSET BY A SERYANT.—Catlea-
rine Connor was charged with stealing
a 101. Bank of Eng-
land note, 51. in gold, and articles of jewellery, &c. Mrs.
Shannon deposed that the prisoner had been in her service
five months. On Friday last, witness missed • box contain.
ing the property from her drawers, which had been feloni-
ously opened. She went to the kitchen, where the prisoner
and other servants were at dinner, and told them she had
been robbed. The prisoner turned pale, became agitated,
and her manner caused witness to suspect her ; witness in-
stated on searching her trunk, to which she cemented, and
it was done in the presence of witness's sister, when a 101.
note, 41. 10s., and other property. belonging to witness, were
found. The prisoner was given into custody. The prisoner
in her defence said she was sweeping her mistress's bedroom,
when she found the property, but she did not know whom it
belonged to. She was fully committed for trial.
LAMBETH.—Omnines LOITIIIINO.—Benjamin Gall,l
an omnibus conductor, appeared to answer to the following
charge of gross misconduct: Mr. H. T. Adamson deposed
that, on Thursday week, himself and his wife got into awl
omnibus, of which the defendant was conductor, in the
London-road, and as soon as the vehicle had reached the and
of Mount-street, not more than 400 yards from where he got
in, it was pulled up at the aide of the pavement. When it
had stopped about three minutes, he asked the defendant if
he war going on ; but he did not take the slightest notice
until he asked the third time, when he condescended to say
Presently." Finding that he did not keep his word, wit.
nee touched the defendant en the arm, and told him that
unless he at once proceetP-d on his journey be should get out
of the vehicle. This, however, had not the desired effect;
and witness, finding the defendant persist in stopping, he
gently turned the handle of the door, partially opened the
latter, and put his f‘xit towards the step with the intention
of getting out. The defendant, on perceiving this, closed
the door as far as his leg would permit him to do so, told
him he should not permit him to get out, and called
out to the driver to "Go on." The driver did so ; and in
this perilous situation he was driven for some distance. His
loud cries for police and assistance caused the driver to stop
in the centre of the road, upon which he (Mr. Adamson) got
out of the omnibus and misted Mrs. Adamson out. The
defendant instantly demanded his fare, which he refused to
pay him; upon which, and while still to the carriage-way,
the conductor caught hold of him by the collar and held him
until they got on the foot-pavement, when he again insisted
upon being paid his fare. Witness then offered him his
card ; but the defendant, observing that this would not do
for him, said he must have a shilling. Witness misted what
he considered to be a gross imposition for a few moments,
upon which the defendant placed himself in a menacing atti-
tude before him to impede his progress, upon which, and fear-
ing that he should proceed to violence, he gays him a shilling.
Mr. Norton remarked that he should not be discharging his
duty toward' the public, or doing justice to Mr. Adamson,
to whom the public should be indebted for coming forward
and taking the trouble in the matter that he had done, if he
did not send hint fcr one month's hard labour for this offence.
—The priscner, who was a flashily-dressed young man, and
who wore his hair in long ringlets, seemed much astonished
at his sentence.
