CURIOUS CHARGE OF FURIOUS DRIVING AND
DAMAGE.—Joseph Brown, driver of a Hansom cab, badge
12.466, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with being drunk)
and furious driving, and damaging another cab.

Castle, a constable of the F division, deposed that on
Saturday night, a little before 12, while at the corner of
Grafton-street, he saw the defendant, who was drunk,
driving a Hansom cab, and directly afterwards ho saw the
defendant drive into a four wheel cab containing a lady,
which was coming in an opposite direction. The conse-
quence of the collision was that the four-wheel cab was
much damaged, the Hansom cab turned over, and the de-
fendant thrown on to the pavement into a lot of mud.
In answer to ➢Tr Tyr whitt, the constable said the defen-
dant was going at the rate of 12 miles an hour at the time,
his horse galloping. Seeing that he was drunk ho took
him into custody.

The defendant said he was not driving the cab at the

ime. It was a relative of his who was driving.
Castle said that was not true.

John Gray, the driver of the four-wheel cab, said that
while at the corner of Grafton-street his cab was driven
into by a Hansom cab, but he could not say the defendant
was the driver. The Hansom cab was thrown over, and
the driver pitched off. His cab was a good deal damaged.
Mr Locke, of the Gray's Inn-road, the owner of the
four wheel cab, said damage was done to the amount of
£2 10a.

Defendant again said he was not drivineth6 cab, and
that the person was in attendance who drove it•
Wm. White, a printer, of 27, Little St. Andrew-street,
deposed that while his brother in law (the defendant) was
in a publichouse he jumped on the Hansom cab, of which
his brother in law was the driver, and went for a drive. He
had the misfortune tp drive into a four-wheel cab through
a greengrocer's stall being in the road.
Mr Tyrwhitt inquired how it was that the police got
hold of the defendant.

White said that as soon as he met with the accident he
ran away to tell the defendant, who on comir g up was
taken into custody.

A person living at 34, Great Andrew-street, said he went
into a publichouse with the defendant to have a drop " on
the quiet," and shortly after White came back, having
taken the cab away, and said he had met with an acci-
dent. The defendant was in the publichouse at the time.
Mr Tyrwhitt said he should discharge the defendant,
and the owner of the four.wheel cab could sue the person
who was driving the Hansom cab for the damage,

TILA.ME S.
WORN OUT, BUT NOTI. DRITNX.—Joshua Wright, a
portly man of Kent, was brought before Mr Paget charged
with being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself.
Skipper, a police-constable No. 25 1-1, saw the prisoner
walking over Tower-hill on Saturday night at 9 o'clock,
but he kept a :very uneven keel, and was brought up all
standing against the railings which surround the glacis.
The prisoner held on for a short time, and then released
himself and set sail again. He soon came into collision
with some trees on the hill, fell against one of them
and foundered. The policeman afterwards went to him
and finding he was in distress raised him, and endeavoured
to get him under weigh again, but he failed, and after
trying to right film for a quarter of an hour, finding he
puldn't make any_ sail at all, he convoyed him to the sta-
Mr Paget—The prisoner had a good deal of property
about him ?

Skipper—Yes, sir, a bag, withvaluable property, a watch,
money, and other property. The place where he fell is very
dangerous—there are many land-sharks, loose women, and
other thieves about Tower-hill,

The prisoner, in defence, said he was much obliged to
the police for taking care of him aad his property. He was
not drunk but worn out.
Mr Paget—How worn out ?

The prisoner—l brought a ship up from the Downs.
We had bad weather. I was with hor for a week, and had
no rest. I was regularly worn out.

Mr Paget—l should be sorry to entrust you with a ship
you get drunk.
The prisoner---I was not drunk on board ship,
Mr Paget—Where do you come from ?
The prisoner—From Deal.

Mr Paget—l am afraid you had some grog on Saturday,
and could not pilot yourself correctly.
The prisoner—Well, I had a glass of grog, bat I was
worn out.

Mr Paget—You must pay a fine of 5s for being drunk
and incapable.

AN IRISH ROW.—In the Dublin Court of Queen
Bench on Wednesday, an application was made by
Mr Sergeant Sullivan for leave to file a criminal informa •
tion against Mr George Madder, a gentleman residing in
the county of Cork. It was founded on the affidavit of
Mr Philip Lovett, who deposed that the defendant had
sailed on board his yacht as a guest during a trip to the
Mediterranean in September, 1860; that a dispute arose
between them about the residence of Garibaldi, which
led Mr Madder to leave the yacht. It was also alleged
that he made some statement about an unmarried lady,
which was offensive to Mr Lovett. There was conse-
quently some hostile correspondence between the parties in
1861. But the matter did not go further till the 13th of
July, when Mr Lovett arrived on board his yacht in
Queenstown harbour for the purpose of being present
at the regatta, and was invited by the secretary of the
club to meet members at the club-house. Ace3rd-
ingly he wont next day, accompanied by a gentleman
named hoare. Mr. Madder, who was at a window,
said, " Hoare, you are bringing a gentleman to
the club who is not admitted here." He afterwards
called out in a loud tone, "Oh, you wretch 1" On these
words being used Mr Hoare requested Mr Lovett to take no
notice, and, with Captain Deane Perry, begged him to walk
into the reading-room of the club, which he did. On the
way Mr Hoare requested Captain Perry to accompany him
out to speak to Mr Madder, and he agreed to do so. Subse-
quently Mr Lovett wes informed that Mr Madder said to
those gentlemen that deponent was "a coward, a liar, and
a blackguard." and the affidavit set forth that Mr Edmund
Burke, a deputy lieutenant of the county of Cork, told him
that Mr Madder used similar expressions to him in refer-
ence to deponent in the presence of several gentlemen in
the city of Cork, who were assembled in the Commercial
Newsroom. The Chief Justice said he did not think there
was any case going to the extent that a criminal informa-
matioa could be granted for the words " You wretch."
The other words deposed to here were not addressed to the
prosecutor personally. After some discussion on this point
the Court refused the motion,
