HACKNEY CARRIAGE TRADE BENEVOLENT INSTI-
TCTION.—Last night a public meeting was held at Exeter
Hall in furtherance of the objects of this institution. Mr.
J. B. Carter, M.P., occupied the chair, and, in opening the
proceedings, gave a brief sketch of the rise, progress, and
present position of the hackney carriage trade. lie said
that at present there were 8,000 men connected with tho
trade. These 8,000 would represent a population of about
40,000, and it was therefore of much importance that they
should possess an institution such as that which had just
been established. Ile did not think that the cabmen de-
served so much abuse as was heaped upon them, for
although there might be "black sheep" amongst them,
yet the cabmen of London presented a very in-
telligent and respectable body of, men. According
to Mr. Mayne, of the metropolitan police, the character of
the cabmen, was gradually improving,
.and there appeared
amongst them a strong and growing disposition to elevate
themselves. This sort of elevation was the best of all im-
provement. The object of the institution seas to secure for
the cabman, when he:should fall into misfortune and po-
verty, the benefit of small savings which he might deposit
in his more prosperous days. Such an institution was not
only deserving of the support of the trade, but one emi-
nently entitled to the encouragement of every benevolent
mind. A number of addresses were afterwards delivered
by Mr. Cochrane and others, encouraging the cabmen to
use their utmost endeavours to raise themselves in the scale
of comfort and morality; and a number of resolutions were
adopted declaring the institution to be worthy of the sup-
port and confidence of the trade and the public in general,
and pledging tho meeting to do all in their power to pro-
mote the prosperity of the institution.
