SOUTHWARK.

Robert Hall, 46, labourer, wax brought before Mr.
Partridge for final examination, charged with the wilfnl
murder of William Johnon in the Mint, by stabbing him
in tlw abdomen with a deep knife.
Police-constable 104 111, mid that on Tuesday evening,
the Nth inst., about a quarter to nine o'clock, he was on
duty in High-street, Borough, when he renewed infurum-
tiou that a man had been stabbed in the Mint. lie went
to the corner of Harrow-street, and saw the prisoner
straggling with a man named Hedges, who mid he had
just dabbed a man, and at the winetime handed him a
clam knife, saying he had done it with that. lie took the
pmoner to the surgery of Dr. Bolt, in Blackman-street,
and there he saw the &ccouied lying on the Boor, bleeding
from a wound in the Odom; from which the bowels
were protruding. Witness handed the prisoner over to
the custody of another intuitable while he procured a
stretcher and conveyed the injured man to Guy's Hoe-
pita!, where he died on the evening of Thursday, the
10th. After he had seen the prisoner secure et the
station-bowie, he went to No. 2, Disney-stmt, Mint, ant
found blood in the e and the yard.
Corroborative • any wee WiTP2I, and the prisoner,
who declined to say anything in his defence, was com-
mitted for trial.

Mr. Dayman has agreed to a new rule which is to be
enforced with reference to the cab fare beyond the radios.
It will be recollected that on :Saturday last Mr. Dayman
gave a decision, in which he held that a cabman was
allowed to calculate his fare mile after mile : so that if
the first mile of the diatanee ended outside the radius, he
was entitled to charge a shilling, and for a mile or a frac-
tion of a mile beyond another shilling. Mr. Day-
man arrived at that conclusion to protect the public
from an inconaiete which would happen if the act of
parliament was construed strictly of a cabman being en-
titled to charge Is. 6d. for one mile, calculated at the rate
of 6d. for a portion of a mile inside the radius, and Is. fur
a portion of a mile outside the radius. The defendant
&marred to the decision, but paid the fare and costs. as
be declined to take a ease for the opinion of a superior
court on account of the expense. Mr. Daytaan has since
recoroidered the question. and has read the two
cab acts as one. The first act, 16 and 17 Vie.. c. 33,
alolithee hack fare, and gives a schedule of fares, to be
calculated after the rate of sixpenee a mile over and above
any number of miles completed. The second act, 16 and
17 e. 127, allow, a shilling a mile for every mile or
part of a mile beyond the circumference of four miles
from Charing-cues. The rule which is in future to be
allowed is as follows:—Mr. Dayman will hold that the
hiring is for the whole distance. but the driver is to be
paid at double the rate for the part outside the radius.
Ile (the cabman) will therefore pre entitle 4 to ijmienoe
tier mile and any fraction of the whole distance, and an
additional Pi:pewit: per mile and any fraction for so much
as is outside the radio..

REENWICH.
Aillisse Ke rridge, a police-constable, No. 22 R. against
whom a verdict of manslaughter had been returned by a
coroner's jury, was charged with causing the death of
Henry l'ogmore. a labouring man, 33 years of age.

cold water for two hours. On leaving, he met the

occasion asked him how he got his living. Kerridge
advised the deceased to go Lome, when he used an offen-
sive expression towards the constable, and said he was
only creeping about in order to obtain a pension. Ker-
ridge, who has been many years in the force, replied, "I
don't know how it is, Harry, but you ies.r to have au
ill-feeling towards me," and the deceased made answer,
" I will let you know. I have fought for my country.
and have medals to show it." The constable then said,
" What ! you got medals to prove it and telling him to
go on, put out his hands. pushed the deism-sad backwards,
and caused him to full and strike his heal on the pave-
ment. One of the witnesses described the fall as "a dull
thud," and said be remarked at the time, "if that is the
man's hied, he is a dead man, an sure as fate."
lietiidge was told he had no business to treat
the dare seed in such a in 'r, when he said he had been
insulted by him, and on the remark being made that in
that ease he ought to have taken him to the station,
Kerridge then said he would do so, and took thedeceased,
who 'milts:en picked up, conveying him some distance,
when he said, •• Are you satisfied. Harry. with what I
bare done to-night ?" met let hini go, the de,aseil com-
plaining of his head. Ile was then allowed to go, and

CIINAP RAILWAY ACCOMMODATION FOR Till
WORXINO CLAStiBS.

Laid night a meeting, oonvenod by the Metro-
politan Association for procuring cheap and regular
accommodation for the Working (lames was bekl at the
Nations' School, garcon-road, North Bow. The chair
WWI taken by Mr. Cores as Remo, one of the candidates
for the temsentstion of Hackney. The chaining; said

lumum lie had no private intend to advance,
and he felt he could not well refuse the honour
PTllterrld la him of being • made president of
Oda leendatica. Ile had had experience of whet
poor workhig people suffered who had to beat their work
at RI o'clock in the morning. In his own iseighbourhood
the railway companies ran trains which obliged the work-
ing man to go by a train which caused him to wait in
town for three-quarters of an hour. It wee a social
grievance, and one that public attenticn ought now be
strongly directed to. It was well that those railway
gentlemen should understand they must have no mono-
poly, and mart aosommodate the public. He lived in
Rwanton, and knew Sigmas hundreds of people walked
into town is the morning indeed of riding; and he believed
those who lived in North Bow had to walk to Holston
to obtain the beat of the cheap teethe. All that was
wanted to remedy this wee to bring public opinion to
bear upon it. ((dews.) Mr. Marks (dm. secretary)
then read a report giving a short history of the engin and
program of the emaciation. The Cyst reeolution, moved
by the Rev. Mr. Parnell, seconded by Mr. Whitby,
and paired, condemned the present venni?e put. upon the
Working clams by the fares and inconvenient thee%
of starting, and pledged the association to present a
petition to the House of Commons, asking for an inquiry
into the railway laws, and for power to bring in •
bill providing that there should be trains run under the
distance of ten mikes from the metropolitan termini at
Id. per Journey, to arrive in town at 6.46, 6.46, 7.16,
7.46, 8.16, and 8.30 a.m., the workman being entitled to
return by any train after 9 a.m. The next important
resolution passed wee imfollows :—" That as moat of those
who will avail themselves of workman penny tickets are
such es have been made oompulsory travellers by being
evicted to make room for railway extensions, this meet-
ing, taking into consideration the hardships imposed on
pieco-workers, such ea tailors, shoemakers, and others
who work at home for warehouses, considers that a com-
partment to each ordinary, train should be set apart for
ouch, to be called ' workmen's compartment,' the whole
journey fee a distance under ten miles not to be charged
for more than one penny for emery man, woman, and child."
Other resolutions appoonting district committees, and of
a formal nature, were pawl, and the prooeedings ter-
minated.
