Lest evening, according ter preeoneertod ar-
rangement', most et the cabs marred to ply shortly after
7 o'clock, and the streets of the metropolis mammal that
mysratively sclitary and deserted -appearance which
always attends a movement of this character. The few
that were to be seen in the streets, whether marrying faros
or not, were in no degree, as far as we were Informed,
molested, the quarrel upon this occasion being entirely
one between the railway companies and the drivers mid
proprietors of unprieileged cabs.
At eight o'clock a large open-air demonstraboa took
place re the spacious area of Cumberland-market, near
Itegent's-park, sad there several (homemade of ash-driven
asirmblrd to give utterance to their grievances, and se-
eress their approval of the to be taken by
the members of the London fib- Amociation.
The proceedings were conducted with perfect propriety
throughout, and the demeanour of those present was eer-
tainly far more orderly than marry of the open-air demon-
strations which we have previously witnereed. A large
open van was provided from which the speakers were to
address the assembly, but this proving insufficient to
accommodate all those who took a prominent part in the
prixeedings, an omnibus, which was procured from a
ne ehbounng yard, was premed into the service, and, the
horns having been taken out, the speakers climbed to the
roof, and from that elevated position proceeded to address
the meeting.
Among the resolutions palmed wee one to the
effect that the cab-driven at the meeting approved of the
wens adopted for the purpose of abashing the railway
privilege cab system, and undertook not to ply at any rail-
way station or any rank in the neighboorhoodof a station,
after a certain date, to be fixed at a general meeting of
the trade; and the other asking the public to assist them
.in their efforts, by not employing the privileged albs to
drive them to the stations.
There resolutions were supported by cash-driven named
Barnes and Crompton, and after giving cheers for the sue-
cam of the movement and for its promoter's, the large as-
semblage quietly dispersed,

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

SOME CIRCUIT.—GTITLDFOR:), JULY 30.
(Before Mr. Baron Marlin and n ooultisou Jurj.)
lIIIIIPT 0. IFIRBANI.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, Job Hirst,
to recover from the defendant the sum of 4sl. 1140. for
money he alleged that he had paid for hi nee and by hie
'Kitchen to one Eliza Smith.
Mr. Kemp wee for the plaintiff ; Serjeant Parry and
Mr. Philbrick were mutual for the defendant
. This cam wee one of a rather peculiar ekaracter. The
plaintiff sad the defendant were sub-eoutraciore under
the uncle of the defendant, who, it appeared, was •
eontractor for public works, and in an extensive way of
business. They had been on friendly team, and mooed-
ing to the case for the plaintiff the defendant, in 1866, had
requested him to make some arrangement to put a young
lady, named Eliza Smith, with whom the defendant had been
on very intimateterms, into some basineen and inseam we.
that in pursuance of these instructions from the defen-
dant he had Oven various sums of mon to the young
lady in question, and had also purchased a gold watch
for Imi=d he now sought to recover the money be had
10 II
Job Hirst, the plaintiff, a man apparently about sixty
years of ago, wee' examined, and he swore positively
that the defendant, at the time in question, requested
him to make some arrangement by which the young lady
referred to might be set up in business, and a house was
taken for her in Tottenham-eourt-road. He enumerated
the various sums that he had *deemed, and asserted that
ha bad merely acted in the matter as the friend or agent
of the defendant He denied most positively that the
defendant had ever paid him the money he had so ad-
•senoed:
In cross-examlnation by Serjeant Parry the plaintiff
Id he was • married man, and be denied 'that anything
lar:Phad ever occurred between him and the young
7 letter addressed to Miss Smith, in which be ad-
rimmed her as " Dear Eliza," and in which he said some-
thing about "John," the defendant, being jeslotia, and
beintaitna dreadful passion about him, was put into his
ben and he admitted that he had sent it to the young
lade he persisted in declaring that nothing improper
had bat
taken place between them, and said that his wife was
aware that visited MISS Smith, but she was quite satis-
fied that there was nothing wrong ; that she proposed to
actompany him to her house when he went to visit the
y lad (A laugh.)
Serjeant Parry, to the plaintiff—Do you mean to say that
your wife ever did visit her?
Plaintiff—l cannot say that she did. (Laughter.)
Serjeant Parry, in addressing the jury for the de-
fendant, mid be should be able to show them that there
was not the slightest foundation for the claim that had
been set up by the plaintiff in this action. The defendant
had unfortunately formed a connexion with the young
lady whose name had been mentioned previously to the
year 1866, and being desirous to break off that oonnexion,
he was at the same time willing to place her in a position
where she might obtain her living respectably, but he
never employed the plaintiff to interfere at all in the
matter a and he said that when the jury had heard all the
facts of the case, they would find that all the money that
wee sierntry the plaintiff, and all the presents he had
made were given on his own account. Ho
siubneti y, however, made an application to the
defiant for payment of the sum of 6.5/. • and
'the defendant, rather than have any disturb-
ance about such • matter, paid him the amount
he claimed, although the plaintiff was not entitled to a
single farthing. Not setided with this, the plaintiff now
sought by the present setae* actually to make the de-
fendant pay his unjust. demand a second time, and the
latter had no alternative but to resist such an unjust
I, proeeeding.
1 John Firbank, the defendant, a person apparently
About thirty years old, was then called as a witness. He
said he had known the plaintiff for several years, and
they had been engaged as sub-contractors under wit-
=uncle. Witness was acquainted with a young lady
Eliza Smith, and in February last, in come-
F&yre of a communication he received from the
' tiff relating to her, he met him at the Adelaide
arn, Haverstock-hill. The plaintiff then made
a claim upon him tor 661. for money he had ad-
vanced to Mims theith, and for articles he had purchased
for her, among which was a gold watch for 91. Witness
was aware that the plaintiff used to go to Miss Smith's
homy, bat he never authorised him to give her any money,
And
.11e repudiated the claim ; but upon the

inter-
view the plaintirrrty sovereigns. Aday or
two aftempards he gave the plaintiff a further sum of lb/.
to make the 661., but the plaintiff Insisted upon having
201., that he had spent 601. for Miss Smith. Wit-
tman " gave him 201. to ean end of the matter,
and the month of June following he was served with a
errs
writ the present action.
fit to II question put by Serjeatll 'Parry, the de-
f Sat he had never aatborided llie plain-
give money to Miss Smith, and he said he was very
ck annoyed by his constantly prowling about her house
when he did not want him. (Laughter.)
By Mr. Kemp—How long have you known Eliza Smith ?
Defendant—Since 1866.
Mr. Kemp—And did you not seduce her?
Der carelessly—Well, I suppose I did.
Mit p—At that time, I believe, she was not more
than years old ?
Defendant—l suppose that was about her age.
Mr. Kemp—Tou are a married man, I believe, Mr.
Firiamlin t
—Yes, I aim.
‘ Mr Kemp—l need not ask you, I suppose, whether
Elyour wife knew anything about your connection with
iza Smith? _ _

Defendant—Oh, of course, she knew nothing about it.
(Laughter.)
Mr. Hem Then, after you had been acquainted with
the young lady for two years, you wanted to get rid of
her ; is sot that so ?
Defendant—Well, I always wanted to break off the
connection with her.

fafes-ezemin.ation continued—Witness would swear
that be never authorised the plaintiff to offer Eliza
Smith 151. He never entertained the intention of turning
her off, or that she should go upon the streets, but what
he thought of was that she should obtain a situation or go
intoseme lighthesiness, and be promised to make her an
aiderwance. He did not look upon Eliza Smith as his mis-
tress, bat he used to visit her. When he paid the money
detbepLsintiff he did not ask him for a receipt. He knew
that Hutt was a great rogue for making such a demand
am be Md in the Ant instance, but he did not ask him for •
receipt, became he thought he would never be so great a
Townes to try and make him pay the money twice over.
rMirMith, the young lady whose name had been men-
ttaductdenVeestausE, knew tetieledpl" atieffnantnedeltlieee the
e-
Aludeak and tkey were on friendly terms in 1865, and
used to come to see her together. The plaintiff, Mr. Hint,
subsequently used to visit her alone, and he made her
presents. He gave her money, several silk dresses, and a
gwatch and a pair of earrings. He was rather anvil-
to give her the watch for fear the defendant should
it out, but witness promised that she would not let
laio MB it, and then he gave it to her.
Misrjeant Parry—Now, Miss Smith, are we to under-
idleasT you to say that all these things were given to you
y the plaintiff on his own account, and that they had
lotting whatever to do with the defendant
Wittues—Certainly.
Smosat Parry—There is one more question I must ask
you—Was the plaintiff intimate with you during this
time?
Witness—Yes.

In answer in a question put by Mr. Kemp, the witness
said that she was not now visited by the defendant, and
he had not been to her house for three or four months.
Serjeant Parry, in summing up the case for the defend-
ant, said that it appeared to him that the person who
was most to be pitied in the transaction was the poor
young girl who had been examined, and who had fallen
into such hands at her time of life.
Barn Martin, in summing up, expressed his opinion
thin fp case was a most discreditable one both to the
plain ibad the defendant, but it had come before them,
and they must deal with it. He then described the nature
of the,action, and said that it certainly appeared that the
thidlinlad allowed three years to elapse -before he en-
deavosred to enforce his claim, and it appeared to him
that the statement he made with regard to the matter was
entire unconfirmed. The defendant hadpvely sworn
not only, that he never authorised the • tiff to give
the mousy to this young woman,
. but that he had
repaid him, and it was for the jury to decide, with this
conflicting evidence, upon which side the truth lay
The jury almost immediately returned a mrdid.for the
defendant. . .

A great number of MUMS have already been either
settled, withdrawn, orotherwisedisposed of, and to-morrow
(zl,:i..routy) morning Baron ]tin will commence trying the
jury cases. The criminal business has been got
ugh, and Mr. Justice Willes will now try causes.

Yesterday afternoon a public meeting was held
at the Town-hall, Bradford, for the double purpose of

is called the " Wddlis-daas School of the Rural Deamery
