LAMBETH,

Charles Good, conductor of a Brixton omnibus, was
charged with having unlawfully demanded of Mr. Samuel
Les, a passenger by his omnibus, more than his legal fare.
Mr. Lee deposed that on Wednesday last he got on the
outside of the omnibus, of which the defendant was the con-
ductor, at Charing-cross, for the purpose of proceeding to
isanington-gate. .On reaching the end of the New-cut, in
the Bridge-road, Lambeth, it commenced raining very fast,
dim being sufficient room inside the vehicle, he got off
Oared and got inside the omnibus. On reaching the end
of thejesinsy bs got out, and handed the defendant a six-
pease alai aespeseed change, the fare being only threepence,
but be put the coin into his pocket, saying it was quite
right, as he was entitled to two fares—one for the outside
and one for the inside place. He (witness) told him at the
time that he was acting exceedingly illegal in demanding or
taking more than threepence, that it he persisted in
keeping the change he should summons him before •
magistrate. His reply was that he bad only taken his due,
and drove off.
Mr. Lewis, on the part of the defendant, admitted the re.
ceipt of tld., but said his client was perfectly justified is
charging double fare. The first fare of threepence be coo-
tended was due on the complainant's getting off the out-
side of the 'bus, and the second commenced on getting into
the vehicle.
Mr. Elliott was of rite a different opinion, and said that
as the charge of the inside and the outside of the vehicle
were the same, it mattered not whether a passenger tra-
veiled inside or out. His decision was that the defendant
return the threepence he had improperly charged, and also
pay a penalty of one shilling and the expenses of the
MIL

CATTLE.—SALIbIIIIIIV, July 3.—The supply of Beasts
at our market to-day was about an average for the time of
year, and the quality generally was good. The attendance
of buyers was rather numerous, consequently the trade
ruled brisk, and a good amount of business was transacted
at rates rather above those realised at the last market, a
total clearance being affected. The supply of good South-
Down mutton was small, but of all other descriptions there
was rather an unusually large supply, time of year con-
sidered. The trade was brisk, and the beat South-Down
wethers realized a trifling advance, whilst long
woolled and inferior descriptions of Sheep sold well
at late quotations, and at the close of business
few remained unsold. Lambs were rather shortly supplied,
consequently, all soon changed hands at good prices. The
number of Calves on offer were cosiderably diminished in
number, and for the best fine Veal enhanced terms are de-
manded. In the Pig market the supply was BOOK-
whit scanty, and the trade ruled briskly at an advance in
prices on the average of from Is. 6d. to 29. 61 per head, and
a total clearance was made. Best cm Beef sold from 108. W.
to Ils. fal. per score ; Heifers and inferior breeds, 9s. to
10s. ; best Down Mutton, 7d. to 71d. per lb.; long-woolled
