by his manner of driving that he was not sober. After be
got `on the stand, he left his seat and went inside his cab to

sleep.

mind to come with it, bat he had not done so.

not hear a charge against a cabman in the absence of the
licence.

The constable stated that the prisoner's master lived as
far as Praed-street, Paddington. He (witness) had seen
the license, which was a " clean" one.
Mr Selfe—That may be, for he may only have had it
about a week.
Constable—That is so, your worship.

Mr Selfe (to priscner)—What have you to say to the
charge
Prisoner—l have been in the hospital, and the doctor
told roe I was not to drink anything but stout, and I had
two pints of stout, that made me sleepy. I have been a
licensed driver ten years, and was never fined before.

. .
The prisoner was fined 50, and he was ordered to send
for his license in order to have it signed.
