cerned in robbing a lady on the Liverpool Rs:'reed of Bank
of Ragland notes to the amount of 1501., which were ex-
changed for American bank notes, in passing which Ame-
rican notes the prisoners were apprehended, upon the charge
of Mr. Speilman, of Lombard-street, who had been applied
to by them to give cash for the letter. —Mr. Rider, auperin-
tendent of police at Liverpool, said he knew Burger, who
formerly kept a public-house at Liverpool. Witness knew
Mitchell by sight, and had seen hint in Burgess's house at
Liverpool. As superintendent of police witness bad re-
ceived information that a person had been robbed of bank
notes. He had also received information that one of the
notes (for 1001.) had been exchanged in Liverpool for Ame-
rican notes, and he had reason to suppose that Burgess was
the person who changed it. Application bad been made to
the magistrates of Liverpool on the subject of the robbery,
and witness was in expectation of receiving a warrant from
the magistrates to conduct the prisoners to Liverpool. The
prisoners were then removed in charge of the superintendent,

GUILDHALL.—Ax OMNIBCII CONDUCTOIVB BADGE.—
Sir James South appeared before Mr. Ald. Moon as • com-
plainant against the conductor of the Bayswater omnibus
wearing the badge 1,526, for refusing to show him his badge,
and using insulting language to him—Sir James stolid that
he was engaged in • series of examinations as to the accu-
racy of certain clocks, in which he had to test them to frac-
tions of seconds, and on the 26th nit he left Bayawiter at •
quarter before fire, with • view of being at the General
Post-office at • quarter before six. The defendant hailed
him at the Black Lion at Bayswater, but he refused to get
in as the omnibus was loitering. Having walked half a
mile the omnibus came up, and he got in. There was a
gentleman and lady inside, and the gentleman had to make
repeated applications to the conductor before he would stop
to let him alight; and the conductor pursued the same
conne towards complainant afterwards. In Holborn com-
plainant asked at what time the omnibus would reach the
Bank. The conductor muttered, bat gave him no information.
He was insolent afterwards, and refused to show his badge.
—The defendant said Sir James', statement was entirely
fabe, and that he was known on the road for riding in
'busies on purpose to summon them. He called Mr. Black-
burn, a dealer in liumian matting, who was riding inside,
and who did not hear the conductor use any offensive lm-
gouge, or refuse to stop, or to show his metal ticket —The
defendant said it was enough that he wore the badge. He
was not bound to hold it up to anybody to look at, or stand
still opposite • light. Sir James was very rough, and pulled
him along to the light by the string of his number.--Mr.
Alderman Moon observed that the defendant's witness might
not have taken notice of what was passing, but he could not
help believing Sir James South uto what did pass. He
was sure he should consult Sir James's feelings by not im-
posing • severe fine, and he therefore adjudged the defendant
to pay 10s., or be imprisoned 14 days—The defendant paid
the fine.

Coonstes, a coal merchant carrying on business at No. 20,
Craven-street, Strand, with his carter, J. Brown, were sum-
mooed for delivering coals without the proper weighing ma.
chine or weights being attached to the cart.—Jane Mitchell
stated that on the 11th October she ordered two tons of coals
from the Northern Coal Company, 20, Craven-street, Strand.
When the carter was delivering them she observed they
were very small, and having nquested that he would weigh
them he refused, saying that the machine was out of order,
and he had no weights. Witnera immediately called the
streetkeeper, but the defendant Brown continued to shoot
the coals until the contents of the cart were deposited, with
the exception of six sacks. The carter then said he would
take them to Lee's wharf in Pimlico, where he had brought
them from, and where witness remained three hours, having
been told by tie clerk that he knew nothing about the
matter, and ordered the coals to be shot into a barge without
having them weighed.—J. Phillips, streetkeeper for Saint
Clement Danes parish, proved that although he told the
defendant Brown to desist shooting the coals, be refused
until there wen only six sacks' remaining in the cart.
Witness requested he would weigh the sacks, but he replied
that the machine was out of order. Witness subseqnsatly
