LAMBETH.

Mary Ann Smith, a decent looking young woman, was
charged with attempting to commit suicide by throwing
herself into the Surrey Canal.
A policeman, named Frier, who was on duty in the Old
Kent-road, saw her struggling in the water at about 10
o'clock on the previous Saturday night, and pulled her out.
He conveyed her to the William the Fourth public-house,
where restoratives were applied, and afterwards to the
Camberwell workhouse. It appeared that the poor girl,
who was a servant, had been induced by a fortune teller to
give her some clothes, and that being afterwards seized
with remorse, she had gone out and made the attempt to
drown herself. On the recommendation of the master of
the workhouse, who gave her a good character, and in
consequence of her own manifest penitence, Mr. Elliott was
induced to discharge the prisoner.

SOUTHWARK.
James IVigyins, cab driver, badge No. 2,214, WA! fined
151. at the instance of Mr. John A icenius, a French gen-
tleman, for unlawfully demanding two shillings more than
his legal fare.
The cabman having made hie demand on the occasion
complained of, attempted to enforce it by waiting half an
hour at complainant's door after he had refused the proper
fare. At the court he admitted ell the facts, but pro-
tected his innocence of all intention to defraud, having,
as he said, miscalculated the distance.
The magistrate, considering that ho had created a nui-
sance at complainant's house by waiting instead of appeal-
ing to the court for redress of his supposed grievance, in-
flicted the fine above-named.
