A FORTUNATE CABMAN.—John Flexon, cabman, of
Gower Mews, Russell-square, was charged before Mr. Selfe
with being drunk while driving his cab.
Police constable Scott 121 A said—That about half-past
10 o'clock last night he was on duty in New Palace-yard,
when his attention was called to the state of the prisoner
by a member of Parliament, and who remarked that ho was
not in a fit state to drive. Witness upon seeing him under
the influence of liquor took him into zusbcly.
The prisoner said that he heard the gentleman say that
he (prisoner) must be either drunk or mad, and was aston-
ished at the remark. (Laughter.)
Mr. Selfe—The constable says you were drunk.
Prisoner—l might have had a drop or two, but I knew
what I was about. I was capable of driving.
The constable stated that he was obliged to lay hold of
the horse's head and take it to the stable.
Prisoner—l hope you will overlook it this time, your
worship. I hove been many years a cab-driver, and this
is my first offence. I will be more careful in future, and
this will be a caution to me. I have been locked up all
night,

Mr. Selfe—Well, go along, you must not do so again.
The prisoner was discharged and thanked his worship.
