CLERILENWILL.
A dissipat-tl-looking female, who gave the name of
/fosteek Denney, aged 48, described in the charge-sheet u
of no occupation, rciiding at 3, Pound's-place, st.
wee charged with attempting to commit suicide by banging
herself.

From the evidence of the husband of the prisoner, it rip-
Medthit last evening the prisoner, who has been on the
for some time, attempted to kill herself by hanging
herself to the bedpost. He cut her down, at which tune
she was misrly iwiousible. to about half an hour afterwards
he was informed that the er was hanging in the water-
s-best, and upon proceed there there he found her quite in-
sensible. On this occasion she had used the water-closet
wire, and had twisted it tightly mood her throat. She was
• very good wife and mother when out of liquor.
The defendant said that it was not drink that roused her
to attempt this rash act, but her husband's immoral con-
duct. While she was in the hospital, be hod been cohabit-
with another woman.
'This the husband denied; but said he bad let one of his
rooms to a single woman.
Police-conetable Knott, 51 G. said when he took the
prisoner into custody, she appeared very ill, and it was
necessity to have a man in the cell with her all night.
Mr. I.?Eyboourt, said that taking away her life would not
sere lierhusbaniFe immoral conduct. This was another of the
fearful results of intoxication. He should remand her for
a week, sod she would, while in the House of Detention,
have the good advice of the chaplain.
The prisoner, who she should never survive the week,
was then unloved in team.
LAMBETH.
John Arthur Page, the driver, and John Godfra, the
oonductor of one of the " Havelock " omnibuses, appeared
beton. Mr. Elliott, to answer to summonses, the one charging
the former with refusing to carry Mr. George Loe, and the
other charging the conductor with using insulting and
abusive l to that gentleman.
Mr. Loe depdeposed that, on the morning of that week, on
reaching the end of Beresford-street, Walworth, on his way
to town, he saw an omnibus about to start, and, perceiving
a vacant seat in front next to the driver, be mounted the
vehicle for the purpose of getting into that seat, when Page,
the driver, moved from his box and got into it, and
held the reins so that he could not get peat him into the
place he vacated. He (witness), however. demanded the
seat, and said that as it was a public vehicle
he should not leave the place he stood on until he
got one. While this was going on a gentleman then
present got on the vehicle at the back, and passing along
the roof eel the whole of the passengers there, approached
the fro et. On reaching near enough to take the seat the
coachman returned to his own place and allowed the gentle-
man to take it, so that he, Mr. Lon was still left standing
on the front board. At this time the conductor came from
behind, culling out to the driver to go on and break his
(witness's) neck. The driver very properly refused to go
on, and ultimately some gentleman got front the roof to the
so that by this means a seat became vacant, and the
gentlemen getting into it, he (witness) warn enabled to get
into the seat he at first claimed. During the journey he
was subjected to some remarks, and on getting off the
vehicle at London-bridge, the conductor called him a
" twopenny rider.' In answer to the magistrate's
question, the witness was unable to say whether thole were
other vacant seats on the omnibus at the time he claimed to
get into the ono alou,onte the coachman.
Mr. T. Morton, who was a passenger on the omnibus at
the time, corroborated a great portion of the testimony of
Mr. Lee, and said it was his impression that there were
other seats unoctupied 011 the top of the omnibus while the
complainant was attempting to take his, end fancied that
one or two got up after Mr. Lee ascended the box. He beard
the conductor say something at Landon-bridge, but was not
near enough to be enabled to say what the expression, were.
The &kraut Page, in reply to the charge, said that two
gentlemen, then pnisent, had been in the habit of riding
with him every morning regularly, and occupying the box,
or Lunt seats, for which they paid in advance. On the
morning in question one of the gentlemen had taken his
sent, and the other would have done so before Sir. Loe
came up had he not been detained a few moments in pur-
chasing a now paper. The complainant was told that the
seat was engag4 but he insisted on taking it, and perceiving
this be (page) had moved into it as stated, and the gentle.
man came Wing the roof to occupy it.
The other defendant merely deniei the charge again-.t
him, and tailed Mr. Yates and Mr. Fowler, gentlemen of
high respectability, who deposed that the facts were those
stated by the driver ; that they pail for their aeati by this
omnibus a week in advance ; that their seats were paid for
on the occasion mentioned ; and that they always occupied
the front places.
Mr. Loe observed that he did not wish to press the charge
against the driver, as his conduct under the circumstances

was good, and hi,s (Mr. Loe'a) object in malaug the com-
plaint was solely on public pounds.
Mr. Elliott add that the defendants were justified in
keeping a place for a regular parwenger, or a person engaging
one, but they were not justified in keeping any particular
seat, awl therefore they had no right to refuse the corn.
plaivant's taking the seat as he requested. He then ordered
the driver to r,ay the expense of the summons, and the
conductor ten shifiings awl coats
