defendant, who drew np by the Ode of the road. Ha placed
two iadim in We tub, sad was about, a, clew We deer, whoa
the defendant, finding he did not intend to accompany the
ladies, end of course to lacrosse the fare, jumped from his
box, thrust himself between him and the door, and refused
to take the fare. The defendant made so much Mae that
• crowd assembled, sod the ladies being very much
frightened got rot of the cab, and the defendant drove
away, after Wag warned that he would be summoned for
hie miseoadact,
Te defendant admitted that when he drew up he ex-
pected the (oedema° would accompany the ladies.
Kr. Tyrwhitt was determined in all such cases to indict
the severest penalty. There was an impudent and rascally
groan got up amoopt cabmen to take no fares unless there
was a number of persons to be taken at one time. He
would put • stop to such • system by every means in his
power. In this cam he would indict a fine of 40a., and
suspend the license for ten days. If the defendant cams
again before him be would revoke the loom altogether,
and he hoped the defendant would make it known among
other cabmen what they would have to expect if brought
to that court.

ing more than his legal fare from Mrs. Isabella Baugh, at
the Exhibition.

ther an accident,.

dant on the Mk between Notting-hill-gate and Silver-
street, and was driven with another lady to the Exhibition.
She gars the defendant a shilling. He said it wu not
enough, his fare was Is. 6d. He persisted in his demand,
and she paid him the other sixpence.

at first forgotten where he bad taken the ladies up, and
when be remembered they were goo*, so that he could not
return the money.

Etteo siglied that he was with the exception
that he inunted ages having the mosey he was not en-
titled to.

upon the lady, and find him Ws. and costa, or 14 days.

TEE UNDEROEOUND RAILWAY AND FLEET
SEWER ACCIDENT.

The district surveyor of the Board of Works,
with Mr. Fryer, clerk of the works, made two examinations
of the southern portion of the Fleet Sewer ysaterday—the
first nt 2 a.m., and the second at 12 at Dons. The portion
examined was that part lying between Vine-street and
West-street, at whichpoint the large bell mouth of the
sewer is situated. The report made by those gentlemen is
that a most extensive fracture has taken place in the
crown of the sewer arch, and extending for about
300 yards in length, with every symptom of
a still further extension. Should this scour, it
fa considered probable that the railway works
now going on in that part will have to be suspended,
Iseadins the repair or reconstruction of the sower.
r. Ooopar having consulted with Mr. Dethick, the
contractor for tho sewer work, it was pronounced unsafe
to allow any sewage water to pass along the fractured por-
tion, and Mr. Dethick at once opened the dam, which
diverted the water from the railway cutting into the new
trench, along which it had been flowing freely since Tues-
day, and the water is now again pouring with great force
into the railway cutting. The timber bed of that portion
of the trench or "grip" completed on Saturday was then
taken up for the purpose of sinking the bed of the trench
at least 6 feet lower, to be on a level with the invert of the
old sewer. The new "grip" is also being rapidly pushed
forward, sad will now have to be carried under
Castle-street, as the re-admission of the water into
the sewer after its; intended diversion at Oop-
pico-row cannot, owing to the fracture, to permitted
at any nearer point. It is now (wed that the entire re-
construction of the whole length of sewer between Coppice-
row and West-street, where the railway terminates, will
become necessary to emirs its safety. Should this suitor
tunately be the case several months' delay will take place
in the opening of the railway, as the works at this point
must mania suspended until the sewer is completed.
The ground surrounding the immediate neighboorhood of
the late accident is getting into a very dangerous state,
through the actionof the water, and several labourers who
were yesterday employed by the New River Company to
remove their main pipe lying mon the ruins of the rail-
way, and others employed in removing the fallen timbers,
were ordered to desist linen their labour to prevent accident.
