go before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council,

THE POLICE COURTS.
(THIS DAY.)

MANSION-ROUSE.
THE CHARGE AGAINST AIItUSTIME.

‘,Frolreidlion Wood, of No. 3, Albe47read, Abbey.
road, SL John'e•wood, was brought before the Lord Mayor
on remand, charged with fraudulently appropriating to
his own use a sum of 2,:;00/., which had been invested in
Reduced Three per Cent. Annuities, and of which he was
trustee.

It appeared from the evidence taken on the former exa-
mination that the defendant and another gentleman (who
had aince died) were appointed trustees under the will
of a person named Oldham, who died at Leicester
in the year Itildh and left certain legacies
amounting to about 9,000/. One of these was a suns
of 3,000/. less legacy duty ; and it appeared that during
the bet two years the greater part of the amount had been
withdrawn by the defendant and applied to his own use,
Contrary to the Fraudulent Trustees Act.

Mr. "Woutuer, who eoaducted the prosecution, now
stated that as the defendant represented that he only took
the money for a temporary purpose, and had now replaced
it and appointed other trustees, he had to ask his lordship
to allow the charge to be withdrawn.
Mr. George Lewis, who appeared for Mr. Wood, said the
defendant was a gentleman of independent means, and per-
fectly able to replace the money, and Lad only withdrawn
it on a temporary emergency. He had now replaced the
money, and he desired to state that he had no inten-
tion to defraud any of the legatees.
The defendant warn then discharged.

BOW-STREVE
THE CABN/2eB STRIKE—AMER ON ♦ GREAT NORTHERN

CAB.
Ed ining Siroine, horsekeeper to his father, a eabowner,
was brought before Mr. Vaughan under the following sir.
canisters:es :

Mr. Wontner, jan., said that he appeared on behalf of
the Great Northern Railway Company to prosecute the
prisoner. In consequence of the recent acts of parliament
regulating the traffic in the streets a combination of drivers
and owners of cabs plying for hire took place, and meetings
were held last night all over the town the streets
were deserted of cabs. The Great Northern Rail-
way Company possess privileged cabs, but owing
to the strike the cabmen hesitated to take fares, stating
that they knew so few cabs would be about, and those out
would certainly be much damaged and the drivers as-
saulted. Knowing the inconvenience of passengers tra-
velling from a long way to town, and obtaining no vehicles
to convey them home, the company took the responsibility
of the safety of the driver upon themselves. He was not
here to go into the rights or wrongs of the question be-
tween the cabdrivers and the public. Probably
they have a right to strike if they chose, but
at all events they have no right to make
others do so by any means beyond the proper
and fair persuasion. But if they do, then, as in the case
of the strike of the tailors, they are liable to punishment.
Two gentlemen, Mr. Ayliffe and Mr. Millington, arrived
from Lincolnshire about $ o'clock. They informed the
superintendent of the Great Northern Railway-station that
they refused to ride in the cab without the protection of
a policeman. A policeman accordingly accompanied them,
but when they arrived at Charing-crow they were ejected
from the cab, which was turned over, and great confusion
ensued, which would be shown by the following evidence :
Mr. Vaughan asked what was the specific charge ?
Mr. Wontner said at present it was that of unlawful
possession of the cab.

• Mr. Vaughansaid he would hear the evidence, but
usually the charge of unlawful possession applied where
the property was supposed to have been stolen or obtained
by false pretences.
George Stevens, 57 A Reserve—Last night, about a
quarter to 9 o'clock, I was on duty in Trafalgar-square,
and saw a four-wheeled cab coming along St. Martin's-
lane. The mob commenced hooting and hallooing as
soon se they caught sight of it, and two carts which were
standing there drove after it, followed by the mob. I
went down Whitehall-place and saw two cuts driving after
the cab. The crowd then got some distance ahead.
Some little time afterwards I met the prisoner. He
was between the shafts of the cab and was drawing it
back toward. Trafalgar-square. A constable came up, in
private clothe., and I told him I thought there was some-
thing wrong about them. I stopped the prisoner and in-
quired of him, where he was taking the cab. He said
where he chose to. I asked him if it was his own, and he
replied, no, and that he did not know where it
belonged to, nor did he care. I then took him
into custody for the unlawful possession of the
cab. A mob then collected and made efforts
and rescue the prisoner. I saw a soldier, and asked him
to help me ; but he exclaimed, " the four-wheeler,
let's pitch it over." A crowd then rushed at and over-
turned the cab. I drew my truncheon, and knocked the
soldier down for attempting to fight me. They turned
over the cab twice. The prisoner was then in custody;
bat we had great difficulty in keeping hack the crowd.
By Mr. Vaughan—When the prisoner was drawing the
cab there was no crowd surrounding, only a few people
following.
The prisoner asked no questions of the witnesses.
Police-constable Ogilvy, 42 A reserve—l was on duty in
Trsfalgarsquare last night, and saw a cab coining from
the direction of St. Martin's-lane. There was a crowd
following it, hooting and yelling. It went on down White-
ball, all, still followed by the crowd, crying " No lamps," and
Pull him off." I should say there were quite 300 persons.
I came down after them. They stopped the cab, turned
the gentlemen out, took the horse out of the shafts, and
turned it on its side. When I got to the spot the prisoner
vas in the shafts of the cab. An attempt was made by
the mob to rescue him.
Policeman KS A Reserve, corroborated,and stated that he
saw the prisoner trying to unfasten the trace in order to
take the horse out of the cab, but being so hustled by the
mob that be could not get near the cab. he went down to
the station-house to obtain assistance. When he returned
the risoner wax in the shafp Edward George Aylitits.o, solicitor, at Holbeach, Lin-
eoloshire, stated that he arrived at King's-cross station at
shoat ft o'clock last night, and got into a cab
with a friend, Mr. Millington, who was with him. A
Policeman got on the box. The cab drove off,
in the direction of Westminster, followed by a crowd yell-
ing sad hooting. As we passed by Trafalgar-square there
was a meeting going on. There wags great crowd and men
With lights. We ware received with yelling, shouting, and
cries of " turn him over." I never beard such yelling in all
my life. The cabman drove rapidly down Whitehall, try-
ing to avoid the mob,but a crowd of about 300 followed him.
I noticedtwo carts following ns, ouch carts as stable-
keepers use to convey forage. There were three men in
each. One of the carts drove at the cab as if to run us
down. That missed us, but the cart was then turned to
the left, so es to get before us. The other cart drove close
up on our off side, so that were completely blocked in,
being next the curt. There were cries of " Turn it over."
The horse was turned into almost a reverse position, evi-
dently with a view to turn it over. Being inside, I
naturally objected to the turning over, so I got out and
helped my friend out. There was • crowd of I should say
300 persons. We were quite powerless in their hands.
The eshm..n was dragged off the box ; the policeman partly
was pulled off and partly helped himself off. The attitude
of the crowd was menacing, and would be alarming to a
nervous person. I am not myself vary sensitive in my
nerves. I should certainly think it was alarming to the
cabman•

Mr. Wontner anuested that as there were several other
eases of a similar nature, it would be convenient that any
others in which the committee should also intend to de-
fend should to adjourned to the same day.
Mr. Vaughan said he could not remand any prisoner
